As summer temperatures begin to rise across Langhorne, PA and Bucks County, we start seeing one of the biggest seasonal challenges for homeowners: heat and drought stress on lawns.
It’s very common this time of year for grass to begin losing color, thinning out, or showing signs of stress as temperatures climb and rainfall becomes inconsistent. The good news? There are a few simple things homeowners can do to help protect their turf during the toughest months of the year.
Here are our Top 3 Summer Lawn Care Tips to help your lawn survive the summer heat and stay healthy all season long.
One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make during summer is watering too often without watering deeply enough.
Your lawn needs water, especially during dry periods, but shallow watering can actually lead to weaker root systems and more stress over time.
For best results:
Deep roots create stronger turf that can better survive stressful summer weather.
As temperatures increase, mowing too short can seriously damage your lawn.
Short grass exposes more of the soil to direct sunlight, causing moisture to evaporate faster and putting unnecessary stress on the turf.
We recommend:
Many homeowners think lawn fertilization stops once summer arrives — but that’s not true.
Your lawn still needs nutrients throughout the growing season. The difference is that summer applications require a different approach than spring or fall treatments.
Proper summer lawn applications may include:
