Summer brings heat and stress to your lawn. Here's how to keep it green and healthy through the hot months.
1. Water Properly
Water deeply but infrequently. Early morning is best - aim for 1 inch per week including rainfall.
2. Mow Higher
Raise your mower blade to 3-4 inches. Taller grass shades roots and retains moisture.
3. Don't Fertilize
Skip fertilizer in summer heat. It can burn grass. Wait until fall.
4. Watch for Pests
Summer brings chinch bugs and sod webworms. Look for brown patches.
