Hello World! Welcome Friends! Do you want to make sure that your lawn stays in perfect shape during the summer? We have some really helpful tips for you. The summer heat and exposure to sun rays can harm your grass. There is something that you should do during the summer to maintain your lawn. Read on and find out more!
Mowing
Mowing can cause stress. Make sure that you always mow in the morning or evening. Also, it should be dry before you start. During dry periods, keep the lawnmower blades high. Keep the grass around 3-4 inches for the best results. This way, the grass will develop deeper roots.
Keep in mind that tall grass will protect the soil from the sun. This will prevent the moisture from evaporating, which means that it will need less watering.
Make sure that you check the blades frequently. If they aren’t sharp enough, there will be an uneven cut. This can result in browning, so make sure that you sharpen the blades every two months. If you plan on planting new grass, consider using a grass plug tool for precise and easy planting. This tool helps ensure that your new grass plugs are inserted at the correct depth, promoting healthy growth and uniformity in your lawn.
Watering
When it comes to watering, you need to be careful during summer. Do less frequent but deep waterings. Do this a couple of times per week. This practice will help the grass develop deeper roots. When the lawn is constantly moist, it will develop shallow roots. That’s why it is important to leave it to dry between waterings. This will make it more tolerant to drought. Avoid shallow everyday watering.
When is the right time to water your lawn? Professionals would suggest you do it in the mornings or evenings. This is the right time, as the heat is on the minimum. If you water your lawn during the day, the heat will make the water evaporate. Do it in the mornings or evenings, when the water absorption will be best.
Contact Specialists
Maintaining a healthy lawn in summer can be so difficult. But, be sure that you can have a helping hand. There are lots of specialized companies that will help you with this. All you need to do is pick a plan that suits your needs.
For example, TruGreen Houston offers fertilization, aeration, and pest control. But, you can also get additional services depending on your needs. During the summer the lawn requires special care, if you are feeling too busy and don’t have enough time, contact a professional that will solve it for you.
Keep Weeds Under Control
It is very important that you check your lawn for weeds often. If you notice weeds, this means that the lawn is already infested and more will come out soon. Remove the large weeds manually. Use a good weed killer that will remove the others, without damaging your grass.
Watch Out for Brown Spots
Do a frequent inspection of your lawn. Watch out for any signs of dead spots. These need to be removed and the spot needs to be reseeded. You can find products that are a mixture of seed and fertilizer.
