While the summer months are great, there are some negatives that come with it. The biggest one of course being the hot days. By the time August rolls around, everyone has their eyes set on the fall weather right around the corner. So does your lawn. With the hot temperatures, lack of rainfall in certain areas, and more foot traffic, your grass is going to be exhausted from summer. With still some time left this season, here are a few ways to keep your lawn health in the heat.
When it comes to watering your lawn, you will find that less is actually more. When hydrating it, be sure that you are watering deeply rather more frequently. As a result, you will notice that your grass will become more resilient to drought since the roots are growing deeper. And to go along with that, make sure that you water early in the morning or late in the evening to ensure nothing gets evaporated.
On days where you have to mow your lawn, you should be sure that you are mowing at the right height for your grass. To do this, make sure that you set your lawnmower blades to a height of about 3-4 inches. You will in turn be shading the soil, keeping it cooler, and also reducing the amount of water loss, all while strengthening the grass’ roots.
And of course, for all of that and thensome, you could hire a professional landscaping company to take care of your lawn’s health.
