Summer can have a major effect on lawns. Warm temperatures can cause grass to grow more quickly, leading to an increase in mowing and watering requirements. Heat and drought can cause brown patches and dry, brittle grass. In addition, weeds, pests, and disease can thrive in the hot, humid conditions of summer, leading to further damage to lawns.

10 Ways To Care For Your Lawn In Summer Heat

1. Water Early in the Morning: The best time to water your lawn is early in the morning when temperatures are cooler. This will allow the water to penetrate and reach the roots before the heat of the day sets in.

2. Mow High: Set your mower to the highest setting and mow regularly. Longer grass blades will protect the soil and help keep it cooler. 

3. Use Mulch: Mulch around your plants and trees to help keep the moisture in and the temperature down. 

4. Reduce Compaction: Avoid walking on your lawn during hot days to reduce compaction and soil temperature. 

5. Aerate: Aerating your lawn helps reduce compaction and improve the health of your grass. 

6. Apply Fertilizer: Applying fertilizer can help your lawn to stay healthy and withstand the summer heat. 

7. Shade Trees: Plant trees to provide shade for your lawn and reduce the temperature. 

8. Protect from Weeds: Apply pre-emergent weed killers to help protect your lawn from weeds. 

9. Irrigate: Use an irrigation system to help keep your lawn hydrated and cool. 

10. Check for Insects: Check your lawn regularly for pests and treat them as needed.
