Summer can be extremely hard on your lawn. Thankfully, Luxury Landscape Supply has the sod you need to restore your lawn’s lushness and beauty. There are other things you can do, as well, to keep your lawn beautiful during the hot summer months. Let’s talk about these things below and how they help.
Mow High
The taller your grass is, the more water it will hold and the easier it will be for it to stand up to the summer heat. Generally, it’s a good idea to have your grass about 3 inches high during the summer months. You can set your lawnmower to a higher setting so that it doesn’t cut the grass quite as low when it is hot and humid outside.
Water Deeply
Water your lawn deeply regularly during the summer months to make sure that it has plenty of moisture to keep it green and lush. If you see brown spots, make sure that the water is seeping into the ground so the roots can take advantage of the moisture. Think about how hot you get and realize that the sun is beating down on your lawn all day long. It needs to be hydrated to stay healthy.
Water Early
Years ago it became a popular idea that you should water your yards at night because they stay wet longer. In fact, you should water your lawn early in the day so that it has water to help it endure the sun. We have plenty of moisture here in Georgia, so your lawn won’t dry out like it would if you lived in the desert. Still, deep watering in the morning will help keep it lush.
Fertilize It
The beginning of summer is an excellent time to fertilize your lawn. We have plenty of different types of fertilizers in stock from which you can choose that will be perfect to make sure that your lawn stays happy and healthy all summer long; even if you and the kids and the pets spend a ton of time out there on it. Fertilize now for a healthy summer landscape.
Repair Dead Spots
Finally, now is also the perfect time to repair any dead spots, especially spots that have died because this is where your dogs like to go to the bathroom. Patch those dead spots so that you have a full lawn that is lush, green, and rich.
