With temperatures rising and rainfall decreasing, summer time is putting a serious strain on your lawn. If you are not careful, your lawn could end up dead. No rain and water restrictions can really take a shot at your ability to take care of your lawn. However, there are some tried and true tips that are sure to beat the summer heat.<\/span><\/p>\n

When your lawn is suffering from a drought, these tips will help you survive:<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip #1: Raise your mower blades<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Raise the blades on your mower. Taller grass provides more protection from <\/span>sun and grows deeper roots, which makes it more resilient.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip #2: Mulch, don’t bag<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Resist the temptation to bag your lawn and use a mulching mower instead. The clippings will provide a barrier that keeps moisture in your lawn longer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip #3: Aerate<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Aerate your lawn twice a year (fall and spring) to keep out thatch and help the roots grow deeper. <\/span><\/p>\n

Tip #4: Sharpen your blades<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sharpen your lawnmower blade. Dull blades put your grass under lots of undue stress. Stressed grass needs more water.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip #5: Water in the morning<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Water early in the morning and when it is not windy to avoid unnecessary evaporation of your rationed water.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip #6: Irrigate<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Use a drip type irrigation system like a soaker hose. It put water in the ground, where it is needed, more efficiently. <\/span><\/p>\n

Tip #7: No fertilizer<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Do not fertilize in the summer. Experts will tell you that fertilized lawns are more sensitive to heat and require more water.<\/span><\/p>\n

Green is definitely a color to envy in the heart of the summer. Do yourself a favor and follow these tips to keep a green lawn that makes your neighbors squirm with envy.<\/span><\/p>\n
