How to Prepare Your Lawn for Summer Heat

As temperatures rise, heat stress, drought, and overexposure to the sun can take a toll on your lawn. Proper summer lawn care ensures your grass stays healthy, green, and resilient.

Best Lawn Care Tips for Summer

✔ Water Early in the Morning – Reduces evaporation and maximizes absorption.
✔ Mow at the Right Height – Taller grass retains moisture better.
✔ Fertilize Wisely – Use a slow-release fertilizer to avoid burning the grass.
✔ Aerate & Overseed – Keeps soil loose and encourages strong root growth.

Signs of Heat-Stressed Grass

🌾 Browning or Yellowing Patches – Lack of water & nutrients.
💨 Grass Wilting or Curling – Excessive heat exposure.
🚫 Thinning Turf – Over-mowing or poor fertilization.
