Lawn Care Tips for Hot Weather
Keep Your Lawn Green and Healthy
When summer temperatures soar, your lawn can suffer—especially without proper care. Heat stress, drought, and pests are all common lawn problems during the hottest months of the year. The good news? With a few smart strategies and professional support from ExperiGreen Lawn Care, your lawn can stay lush, green, and healthy all season long.
How Hot Weather Affects Your Lawn
High temperatures, intense sunlight, and limited rainfall can quickly turn your once-green lawn brown and brittle. Grass growth slows, soil dries out, and weeds and pests can quickly take over. That’s why summer lawn care requires a different approach than what works in spring or fall.
Hot Weather Lawn Care Tips for Homeowners
Here are a few essential tips to help you maintain a healthy lawn during extreme heat:
1. Water Deeply—but Infrequently
Hot weather increases evaporation, so shallow watering won’t reach your grass roots. Instead, water deeply (about 1 inch per week), ideally in the early morning. Avoid watering during the hottest part of the day, which can waste water and damage grass blades.
2. Mow High and Often
Raise your mower blades during the summer. Taller grass shades the soil, helping it retain moisture and resist weed growth. Never remove more than one-third of the grass height at a time to avoid stressing your lawn.
3. Avoid Fertilizing in Peak Heat
Fertilizing during a heatwave can cause more harm than good. If your lawn is already stressed, adding fertilizer may burn the grass. Instead, wait for cooler days or consult with your ExperiGreen lawn care specialist to apply the right product at the right time.
4. Watch for Pests and Weeds
Summer heat often brings an increase in insects like grubs and chinch bugs, which can damage roots and lead to brown patches. Hot weather also gives aggressive weeds like crabgrass a chance to thrive. Catching problems early is key.
