How to Protect Your Lawn During the Summer Heat

Posted by Writer - April 1, 2021 - Lawn Care

There’s nothing quite like having a beautifully lush green lawn around your home. It makes a beautiful first impression when you first pull up to the home, and it makes for a great place for kids of all ages to play in the backyard. With a little maintenance, you can keep that lawn looking its best even through the hot summer months.

It’s easy to take the lawn for granted, but if you do, you’ll begin to see the consequences. If left unattended, that lush greenery can start to fade to brown dreariness pretty quickly. And things can get pretty wild if they’re not properly tended to as well, leaving your lawn looking unkempt and messy. Here are some tips for summer heat protection for your lawn in Burlington County, NJ.

Water properly

A thick, green lawn is going to be pretty thirsty. Especially in hotter months, it’s important to maintain a regular watering schedule to keep the grass growing. Consistency is particularly important during the summer, as the heat will dry out your lawn more quickly during this time.

It’s also important to make sure, when you’re watering the lawn, that you cover the whole lawn. Just spraying with a hose will almost certainly leave some spots drier than others, and you might miss some spots entirely. A good sprinkler system will ensure you cover the whole lawn evenly.

The time of day at which you water the lawn is important as well. Watering in the heat of the day will not be as efficient and lead you to have to use more water to adequately quench the grass’ thirst. It’s best to water before 10 in the morning so the water does not evaporate before it has a chance to soak into the ground and reach the roots.

You can also have sprinkler systems installed and programmed to automatically water the lawn on a regular basis. This way you won’t have to worry about missing a regular watering or covering the lawn evenly because it will already be taken care of for you. All you will need to do is sit back and enjoy the spoils of the automated watering process.

Mow the lawn regularly

With all that proper watering combined with plenty of sunshine, your grass is sure to grow fast. In order to keep it looking its best, you need to mow it regularly. But there are some things to consider when mowing the lawn to make sure you’re keeping the grass healthy. For starters, it’s important to mow frequently and consistently. Don’t wait until the grass looks like a small jungle before deciding it’s time to mow. And when you mow, it’s best to cut to no less than three inches.

When you’re looking for the best summer heat protection or require sprinkler maintenance in Burlington County, NJ, get in touch with the experts at Star Sprinkler Systems Inc. We’ve got what it takes to help you keep your lawn looking its best through the summer and beyond!
