As temperatures climb in July, your lawn requires a little extra attention to stay green, healthy, and lush. Mid-summer can be one of the most stressful times for turf, but with a proactive care routine, your landscape can thrive all season long.
Here’s a helpful checklist to keep your lawn looking its best:
✅ 1. Mow Smarter, Not Shorter
Raise your mower blade during the hotter months. Taller grass provides shade to the soil, helping retain moisture and protect roots from heat stress. Never cut more than one-third of the grass height at a time to avoid shocking the lawn.
✅ 2. Check Your Irrigation System
Consistent watering is key. Make sure your sprinklers are working efficiently and that no areas are being missed. Water early in the morning to reduce evaporation and prevent fungal growth. Smart irrigation timers can also help regulate schedules based on weather conditions.
✅ 3. Stay Ahead of Weeds
Weeds compete with your grass for water and nutrients. Regular spot treatments and a solid pre-emergent weed control program can help reduce weed pressure during peak growing season.
✅ 4. Don’t Forget Fertilization
Many lawns benefit from a summer fertilizer that strengthens roots and supports resilience. Be careful not to over-fertilize in high heat—trust a professional to get the balance right.
✅ 5. Trim and Edge Landscape Beds
Clean, defined edges and well-maintained beds make a big difference in your lawn’s appearance. Remove dead plants, trim back overgrowth, and refresh mulch where needed.
