There’s no other way of saying it: it’s hot outside. And
while you might like basking in the summer sun, it can be rough on your grass.
Therefore, it’s important to take proper lawn care precautions, especially when
summer reaches its peak in July and August. If you’re unsure of how to properly
care for your lawn, it’s important to hire a lawn care
company in Plymouth, MN or wherever you may live. Otherwise, here are some
tips on keeping your grass green this summer.
Fertilizing
One of the best ways to ensure your grass remains healthy
is with fertilizer. For the best results, we’ll wait until the grass is dry and
mowed. The fertilizer should sink into the ground, not stick on the blades.
After we’re done fertilizing, we’ll water the grass to ensure proper growth,
which brings us to our next tip ...
Watering
With the summer sun beating down on your grass, it’s
important to make sure it’s properly hydrated. However, the amount of water
necessary depends on the circumstances. If the area is suffering from a
drought, it’s OK to go heavy on the water, but this should be avoided if you’ve
had a lot of rainstorms lately. The best watering starts early in the morning,
usually around 5 a.m., as this allows the grass to dry by nighttime.
Mowing
Having your grass mowed will help make your watering and
fertilizing efforts be more successful, as these will be better able to reach
the roots if long grass is not a factor. You’ll want to mow before fertilizing,
and when the grass isn’t too damp. The clippings can provide beneficial
nutrients to your lawn, so it’s recommended to let your clippings lay instead
of bagging them up.
