Summer Lawn Care Tips That Actually Work
A healthy lawn takes a little extra care in the summer. In Bucks and Montgomery County, the combination of heat, dry spells, and sudden storms can do a number on your grass. The good news is that small adjustments to your routine can keep your lawn green, thick, and healthy through the hottest part of the year. Below are some of the most important things to focus on during the summer season.
Water Early and Deep
Watering in the early morning is ideal. It gives the soil time to soak up moisture before the sun gets too strong. Deep watering a few times a week is better than a light sprinkle every day. This helps your grass develop deeper roots, which makes it more resistant to heat and drought. If you’re not sure when or how often to water, our lawn maintenance service can take the guesswork out of the process.
Don’t Cut Your Grass Too Short
When mowing, keep your grass around three inches tall. Taller blades provide shade for the roots and help the soil retain moisture. Cutting too short can lead to brown spots, stress your lawn, and allow weeds to move in. Regular mowing with the right height setting is key to a strong lawn all summer long.
Watch for Weeds and Heat Damage
Summer heat can leave your lawn vulnerable to weeds and dry patches. Stay on top of weed control by pulling them early or using a safe treatment when needed. If you notice thin or damaged areas, a targeted reseed might help. You can also ask about our seasonal clean-up services to keep everything in shape as the weather changes.
