Taking care of the lawn in summer

Raise the cutting height of your lawnmower.

Hot, dry temperatures are stressful for your lawn. To help keep your grass in pristine condition, raise the height of your lawnmower’s blade. Allowing your lawn to grow taller during the summer will help promote a better root system and develop a more drought resistant turf. The taller grass blades also discourage weed development and help shade your soil, which conserves moisture. Not sure you have the right sod for your lawn? Watch this video.
