Taking care of your lawn is still important during the hot summer. There are many late summer lawn care tips to help your property thrive. Important summer lawn care services include mowing and irrigation. Maintaining and watering your yard will help your grass prosper. Let’s go over what tips can help your property this summer.

Lawn Mowing in Late Summer

Mowing is an essential part of late summer lawn care. During the summer, grass needs to be kept a bit longer to protect it from the hot sun. If your grass is too short, your lawn could burn and become brittle. We recommend contacting a professional lawn care company to take care of your grass this summer. A lawn care technician follows the one-third rule of mowing, which means the top one-third of grass is cut. This helps the health and appearance of your lawn. A lawn care specialist will also blow the leftover clippings back onto your lawn. The clippings provide protection from the sun and nutrients for the soil. It’s crucial to keep up with lawn mowing during the summer.

Late Summer Irrigation

Irrigation is an important late summer lawn care service. Water helps improve the health and appearance of your grass. To compensate for the hot summer temperatures, adjust your irrigation system. We recommend contacting a professional lawn care company to modify your sprinkler system. A lawn care technician can set your sprinklers to disperse at optimal times. This allows your grass to absorb the water before it evaporates. During this time, an irrigation specialist will also check for proper coverage, pressure and operation. Contact a professional lawn care company to take care of your property this summer.
