Summer Lawn Care Tips
As the days grow shorter and shorter, your lawn will be exposed to the elements. This can result in dry and/or brown grass that’s difficult to maintain. In order to keep your lawn in good shape this summer, be sure it’s properly watered. You can do that by investing in lawn sprinkler installation services. Here are some tips to keep your lawn thriving this drought season:
Proper Watering is a Must
In order for your lawn to become established and healthy during the summer heat, it requires consistent moisture. If your lawn does not receive the water it requires, the grass will wilt and die. In order to ensure your lawn receives the water it requires, you must install a lawn sprinkler system and ensure it is working properly. So if you’re still manually watering, consider booking a lawn sprinkler installation service now!
Fertilizing is Needed
Your lawn needs fertilizer to become established and healthy. If you neglect to fertilize your lawn, the grass will be thin and brown. If you fertilize your lawn, the grass will be green and healthy. The most effective fertilizer for your lawn can be easily found if you do a quick research about your plants and soil, and apply it according to the manufacturer’s instructions too. You are advised to fertilize your lawn when it is growing slowly or is dormant.
Don’t do it in excess!
Excessive watering and fertilizing will cause the lawn’s nutrients to become depleted. If you perform these tasks, the grass will become thin and brown. If you apply too much fertilizer, the grass will become lush and green, however, this will result in the lawn’s nutrients being depleted. To ensure your lawn remains healthy, you should perform regular lawn maintenance tasks, such as mowing, weeding, and mulching, in addition to applying fertilizer and water on a regular basis.
