Summer Lawn Care Tips for a Healthy Lawn
Keep Your Grass Green and Resilient All Season Long
When summer heat hits, your lawn needs extra care to stay lush, green, and healthy. High temperatures, drought stress, insects, and foot traffic can take a toll on even the healthiest lawns. With the right summer lawn care routine and help from experts like ExperiGreen & Top Lawn, you can have a healthy, beautiful lawn all season.
Here are the top summer lawn care tips to keep your yard looking its best.
What Homeowners Should Be Doing for Summer Lawn Health
1. Mow Properly
Raise and sharpen your mower blades in the summer to keep grass longer (around 3–4 inches). Taller grass shades the soil, retains moisture better, and crowds out weeds.
2. Water Deeply and Infrequently
Lawns typically need about 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week, including rainfall. Water deeply in the early morning to reduce evaporation. Water less often but deeply to help roots grow strong.
3. Keep an Eye Out for Lawn Pests and Diseases
Summer brings common issues like grubs, chinch bugs, and fungal diseases such as brown patch or dollar spot. If you notice dead patches, uneven color, or signs of chewing, it could be a pest problem.
4. Avoid Fertilizing in Peak Heat
Applying nitrogen-heavy fertilizers during extreme heat can stress your lawn. Wait for cooler periods or consult with a lawn care expert for the right treatment plan.
5. Limit Foot Traffic
Compacted soil from frequent use can weaken your grass. Try rotating play areas, use stepping stones, and avoid mowing or walking on stressed or dry grass.
