You can count on Luxury Landscape Supply for the supplies you need to protect your lawn from the summer’s heat. It can be hard to maintain a lush, green lawn when the sun is beating down on it all day long. We have some tips below to help you protect your lawn throughout the summer to keep it beautiful and full. We also have lawn supplies to keep your lawn healthy.
Keep the Grass Tall
You want to allow your lawn to grow in the summer and retain a height of at least 3 inches. This height helps the lawn retain moisture. It will hang on to more water when the sprinklers run. This not only keeps the lawn healthier when the sun beats down on it but also allows you to water it less frequently. A taller lawn stands up better to the summer heat.
Deep-Water the Grass
Even though the taller lawn retains moisture and you can water less frequently, you still need to water your lawn regularly throughout the summer to make sure it retains plenty of moisture. This moisture keeps it green and lush. Deep-water the lawn to ensure that all of it gets wet, including the roots. If your lawn has brown spots, checked to make sure the moisture is making its way into the ground.
Water in the Morning
Some people believe that if you water your lawn at night, it stays wet longer. This is true in arid climates, but we have a humid climate here in Lawrenceville. There is plenty of moisture in the air to prevent the lawn from drying out overnight, but with the sun beating down on the lawn during the day, it needs extra moisture. As such, water your lawn in the morning.
Fertilize Your Lawn
Now is the perfect time to fertilize your lawn. This is one area where we can help because we are stocked with many different types of fertilizers. We can help you choose the best fertilizer for your lawn. Fertilizing the lawn before the extreme summer heat hits gives it a chance to strengthen its root system. This helps the lawn stay lush for the kids and pets.
Repair Your Lawn
Finally, now is also the perfect time to inspect your lawn and repair the dead spots. We have different types of sod that you can lay that will fill in the parts of your lawn it did not make it through the winter.
