Your lawn is the pride and joy of your garden. Summer weather can make it dull and brown if you are not careful.

Keep It Well Watered

The best time to water is in the morning. Use a sprinkler system to distribute water evenly.

Mow Consistently

Don’t mow too short. In hot weather, raise the mower height to shade the soil.

Feed Appropriately

Apply a summer lawn feed. Follow manufacturer’s instructions and avoid feeding during drought.

Deal with Bare Patches

Loosen soil, add fresh topsoil, and sow grass seed. Keep the area moist until established.

Manage Pests

Watch for chafer grubs and leatherjackets. Biological controls are available for both.
