As we enter the warmest summer months, it's important to pay attention to our lawns and keep them healthy and beautiful. Summer can present some challenges when it comes to lawn care, including hot weather, lack of rain, and more activity on the grass. However, by following some crucial tips and techniques, you can maintain a lush, green lawn that looks inviting all season long. In this post, we'll go over the essential steps you should take for summer lawn care.

1. Watering: For a healthy lawn in the summer, water deeply to promote root growth and prevent drying out. Water in the morning or evening to reduce evaporation. Aim for an inch of water per week, adjusting for rainfall. Use sprinklers or soaker hoses for efficient watering.

2. Mowing: To maintain a healthy lawn in the summer, set your mower to 3-4 inches and avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass blade length. This helps shade the soil, reduce evaporation, and promote deeper root growth. Keep mower blades sharp for clean cuts and less stress on the grass.

3. Fertilizing: Use a slow-release fertilizer with nitrogen to protect your lawn during hot summer months. Follow package instructions and fertilize regularly to promote healthy growth and repair any weather-related damage.

4. Weed Control: Keep an eye on your lawn for weed growth in the summer. Remove them by hand or with herbicides, but avoid using them on hot days to prevent damage to your grass. Water and fertilize your lawn properly to naturally suppress weed growth.

5. Aeration: Keep an eye on your lawn for weed growth in the summer. Remove them by hand or with herbicides, but avoid using them on hot days to prevent damage to your grass. Water and fertilize your lawn properly to naturally suppress weed growth.

6. Pest Control: In the summer, pests like grubs, chinch bugs, and mosquitoes become more active. Look out for brown patches or insect activity to detect infestations. Use eco-friendly pest control methods or seek professional advice if needed.

7. Shade/Foot Traffic Management: Keep your lawn healthy by managing shade and foot traffic. Encourage people to stay on designated paths and avoid sensitive areas. Reseed thinning or bare patches and consider temporary shade structures to protect from direct sunlight.

​To maintain a beautiful lawn during summer, water, mow, fertilize, control weeds and pests, aerate, and manage shade and foot traffic. A well-cared-for lawn provides a welcoming space for relaxation and recreation.
