    Summer Lawn Care Tips

    July 3, 2014 by Hillary

    OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

    The rain your turf has endured has finally subsided a bit here in Atlanta.  The past couple of months you were thrilled that we saw regularly scheduled weekend showers to water your lawn but now it’s high and intense heat.  The heat is here just in time to host your summer get-togethers.  Now that the rain has subsided, is your lawn ready to withstand the little league team parties, sack races and barbeques?

    Maintaining the lawn is an ongoing process. Summer turf care in Atlanta certainly requires us to have patience. Now that temperatures will be into the 90’s routinely, the color may fade and it will take longer for the turf to recover from lawn games and traffic.

    Keep these simple Turf Tips in mind for your Atlanta lawn:

    • Water early and water deeply (about 1 inch).  If you water later in the day a small amount, most of the water will just evaporate.  DIY TIP: repurpose a clean tuna can as a water gauge while you’re watering.  When you have an inch of water in it, you’ve watered adequately.
    • Raise your mower blade.  Taller grass is more heat and drought tolerant.
    • Resist the urge to fertilize during these high temperatures. You might burn your lawn.
    • Consider stepping stones for high traffic areas.
    • Mulch an area for use as a designated pet area. It should reduce those familiar brown spots.

    Following these Turf Tips can save you time and money- keeping you in the green. If you have any questions or need any advice on summer lawn care – contact us today at 770-923-0387, or click here to request a FREE estimate. Be sure to leave a review with us on Yelp and follow along on Facebook and Twitter!

    Simply Green always does an excellent job and are very customer oriented. The technicians are more knowledgeable than those of other companies I have tried.

    I have been with these guys for one whole season. 99.9% of weeds are gone. The grass has never been so green. They have lived up to their name.

    I just had another comment this morning on how good our fescue lawn looks, which happens several times a week. I walked out in our back yard this morning and couldn’t believe it was the same yard as what I dealt with last year.

    Please let your staff that serviced my lawn aeration and fertilization yesterday that they did an EXCELLENT JOB! My lawn is doing better than it ever has. And because of them and the rest of the techs that come out to my house, that I'll remain a loyal customer of Simply Green. Great job!

    I just had another comment this morning on how good our fescue lawn looks, which happens several times a week. I walked out in our back yard this AM and couldn't believe it was the same yard as what I dealt with last year. We have a good lawn maintenance crew that takes care of mowing and edging, and we have a good company that takes care of weeding, feeding, and shrubbery & trees. I enjoy telling friends and neighbors about your service. Thank you and keep up the good work!

    Happened to be home and Ben treating the yard. He took meticulous care in the treatment. Please convey my thanks to him.
