Summer Lawn Care Tips

Maintaining your lawn is an ongoing process, and summer turf care in Atlanta certainly requires patience! As temperatures routinely reach the 90’s, the color of your lawn may slightly fade, and it will take a little longer for the turf to recover from outdoor fun or frequent traffic.

Here are Some Summer Turf Tips 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.
