Five Steps to a Greener Lawn
How Can I Make My Lawn Greener This Summer? If you're aiming for a lush, green lawn this summer, it’s all about smart lawn care practices—and it starts in the spring. Taking action early will set your lawn up for success. Here are five essential tips to help you achieve the best lawn:
Smart lawn care practices and an early spring start are key to enjoying a lush green lawn all summer.
Aerate and Overseed in Early Spring – Core aeration relieves soil compaction, allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots. Overseeding fills in bare patches, creating a thicker, healthier turf. Doing this in early spring ensures your lawn has a strong foundation before the summer heat sets in.
Fertilize at the Right Time – Spring is the best time to apply fertilizer, providing essential nutrients to help your lawn recover from winter and grow strong before summer. Staying on top of fertilization applications ensures consistent, vibrant growth.
Water Effectively – As temperatures rise, water your lawn in the early morning to reduce evaporation and promote deep root growth. Watch for signs of drought stress, such as dull or wilted grass, and adjust your watering schedule accordingly.
Mow Regularly and at the Right Height – Set your mower to around 3-4’’ to help the grass retain moisture and stay resilient against summer heat. Keeping up with regular mowing prevents weeds from taking hold and maintains a healthy, uniform lawn.
Control Pests and Weeds – Stay ahead of weed growth and pest infestations by treating your lawn early. Spot-treat problem areas and monitor for signs of pests that could cause damage if left unchecked.
By taking these proactive steps, you’ll ensure a beautiful, thriving lawn all summer long.
