Summer is a great time to take a few days off of work and hit the beach, visit an amusement park, or hop on a plane and check out some other destination. While you can take time off, relax, and enjoy yourself, the sun can't, and it can potentially harm your lawn if you don't take the proper steps to protect it before you head off on vacation.
One of the first things you should do is cut your grass, optimally the day before you leave. This can give you approximately 7 to 10 days without the grass getting too long. In fact, leaving your lawn uncut for an extended period of time (between 1 and 2 weeks) can actually be beneficial when rainfall isn't as heavy during the summer months.
Having your lawn checked for insect activity is also another good step to take. Time spent away can open the door for insects to attack patches of your grass, expanding their territory if left free while you're gone. A good professional lawn check-up can help you diagnose any of these problems and take care of them so you can vacation worry-free.
