The scorching heat of summer can take a toll on your once vibrant lawn, turning it into a brown and lifeless patch. However, with a little care and attention, you can keep your lawn healthy and green even during the hottest months of the year. Paramount will share five essential tips to help you maintain a lush lawn in the heat.
Proper Watering
Watering your lawn deeply and infrequently is crucial during hit weather. Watering deeply encourages the growth of strong, deep roots, making your lawn more resilient to heat stress. Water your lawn early in the morning or late in the evening to reduce water loss through evaporation. Many people believe the secret to grass preservation during the heat is excessive water, but you should only aim for about 1 inch of water per week, adjusting dependant on rainfall in your area.
Mowing Techniques
Paramount will adjust their mower cutting height to a higher setting during summer months. Longer grass shades the soil, preventing water evaporation and reducing weed growth. Avoid cutting more than one third of the grass blade’s heigh in a single mowing session, as it can shock the grass and make it more vulnerable to heat stress.
Proper Aeration
Regular aeration allows air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the soil, promoting healthier root growth. Compacted soil can hinder water absorption, leading to shallow root systems and increased heat stress. Using an aeration machine, Paramount will create small holes in your lawn, enhancing its ability to withstand heat and drought.
Shade and Sun Protection
If certain areas of your lawn receive direct sunlight for long periods, consider creating shades or- providing temporary covers during the hottest parts of the day. You can use umbrellas, shade cloths, or even strategically placed potted plants to shield vulnerable spots from excessive heat and sunburn.
With these five essential tips, you can ensure that your lawn remains healthy and lush even in the most sweltering heat. By providing adequate water, adjusting mowing techniques, fertilizing wisely, aerating regularly, and implementing shade and sun protection measures, you will be well on your way to enjoying a beautiful, thriving lawn all summer long. Remember, a little extra care from the experts at Paramount during the hot weather can go a long way in preserving your lawn’s health and beauty.
