It's that time of year when it gets hot and typically rains less, causing lawns to dry out. There are a few things you can do to help your lawn stay as green as possible during dryer periods. There is no substitute for water your lawn, if you decide to. Deep watering is best to promote deep root growth. . Summer Tips to Minimize Dry Lawns: 1) Cut your grass much higher than you would in the Spring. Longer grass grows longer roots and will reach moisture deeper in the soil. Long grass also provides more shade to the soil, minimizing evaporation. . 2) This tip is for future dry spells: Aeration is best done in the Spring or Fall, but aeration helps grass roots grow deeper where more water remains in the soil. The surface of the soil dries out first, making deeper lawn roots more drought resistant. . 3) Plant trees to provide some shade on the lawn. .

🌞🌿 Hey, DFW friends! We know the summer heat can be tough on your landscape, but don’t worry, we’ve got a couple of easy tips to help you prep for the upcoming heat and to help your plant life stay vibrant and healthy: 1️⃣ Water Wisely: Give your plants a deep soak early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid evaporation. Keeping local water restrictions in mind, aim for longer, less frequent watering to encourage deep root growth. 2️⃣ Mulch Magic: A good layer of mulch can do wonders! It helps retain moisture, keeps roots cool, and reduces weed growth. 3️⃣ Mindful Mowing: Mowing about once a week maintains a neat appearance. Longer grass in summer provides shade for roots and retains soil moisture. 4️⃣ Inspect & Control: Springtime is the perfect chance to tackle any needed TLC and preventive care. Take a close look at your flowers, bushes, shrubs, and trees for pests like aphids, grasshoppers, slugs, and snails, and address them promptly. Your landscape deserves some TLC to thrive in the Texas sun. Need more tips or a professional touch?

We've had an exceptionally dry summer, and our lawns are starting to show the signs of stress. Understanding and recognizing lawn drought stress can help you take the necessary steps to keep your grass healthy and green. What Does Lawn Drought Stress Look Like? Discoloration: Grass blades may turn from green to a dull bluish-gray or even yellow and brown. Footprints Remain Visible: If you walk on your lawn, the grass won't spring back up immediately. Persistent footprints are a key sign of drought stress. Leaf Curling and Wilting: Grass blades may curl or wilt, indicating they are conserving water. Thinning Grass: Drought-stressed lawns often appear thinner as the grass struggles to grow. To help your lawn recover, ensure deep watering early in the morning, reduce mowing frequency, and keep mower blades high to retain moisture. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4cgMEs4.

Want the greenest lawn on your block? 🌿 Keeping your lawn lush in the Miami heat can be a challenge, but I've got you covered with the ultimate lawn watering schedule! Here’s how you can keep your grass looking its best: 1️⃣ Early Mornings: Water your lawn between 6am-10am. It allows the water to soak in before the sun gets too hot and evaporates it. ☀️ 2️⃣ Twice a Week: Typically, you only need to water twice a week. Overwatering can cause more harm than good 🌱. 3️⃣ Deep Watering: Make sure the water penetrates at least 6 inches into the soil. This helps the roots grow deep and strong. Use a soil moisture meter to check levels. 4️⃣ Use Sprinklers Efficiently: Aim for about 1 inch of water per week. A rain gauge can help you measure how much water your lawn is getting. 📞 305-984-4875 💻 www.oliversellsmiami.com ✉️ oliverruiz@keyes.com #OliverRuiz #MiamiRealEstate #BrickellRealEstate #OliverRuizRealtor #BrickellRealtor #MiamiRealtor

Have you overwatered your lawn? Here’s how you can tell! ⛔ Thatch has built up Thatch refers to the partially broken down plant materials and roots that form a dense mat or layer on the soil surface. Usually, beneficial organisms break down thatch but overwatering could drown these critters. ⛔ There’s fungus growing on your lawn Fungi thrive in warm, moist environments. Red-orange colored grass is a sign that the lawn is stressed and overwatered. This discoloration is caused by the rust fungus. ⛔ Weeds are choking your lawn The problem with weeds is that they steal nutrients from other plants and grasses. And if the weeds grow tall and thick enough, they end up creating shaded areas, inhibiting grass from harnessing sunlight for food. An easy way to maintain the healthiness of your lawn and to prevent overwatering is by having a watering schedule which can easily be set up with a sprinkler system.

🌱 #TipTuesday: Get Your Lawn Ready for Winter! 🌿 As the weather cools down, it’s time to prep your lawn for winter. Here are a few tips to keep your grass healthy and ready to bounce back in the spring: 🌬️ Aerate the Soil: Give your lawn some breathing room! Aerating helps break up compacted soil, allowing nutrients, water, and oxygen to reach the roots. 🌾 Overseed Bare Spots: Fill in thin or patchy areas by overseeding. A thicker lawn can better survive the winter chill. 💧 Fertilize: Apply a slow-release fertilizer to strengthen your grass and promote root growth. This will help it stay resilient during the colder months. ✂️ Adjust Mowing Height: Keep your lawn a bit longer in the fall—about 2.5-3 inches. This helps protect the roots from frost damage. 🚿 Water Before the Frost: Give your lawn a good soak before the first frost. Hydrated grass is more resilient against cold and prevents the soil from drying out. Get your lawn winter-ready, and you’ll thank yourself come spring! 🍂 #winterlawnmaintenance #PensacolaRealEstate #webuyhouses #webuyhousesPensacola #Pensacola #Floridarealestate #gulfcoast #floridapanhandle #northwestflorida #nwfl #sellyourhousefast #realestateinvesting #realestateinvestor #takeflighthomebuyers

Beat the Heat: 3 Watering Tips for a Thriving Summer Lawn Summer sun can be a double-edged sword for your lawn. While it encourages vibrant growth, it also dries things out faster. Don't let your thirsty turf turn brown! Here are 3 watering tips to keep your grass green and healthy during the hottest days: 1️⃣ Deep and Infrequent > Shallow and Frequent: Ditch the daily sprinkles. Aim for longer, less frequent watering sessions (about 1-1.5 inches per week) to encourage deeper root growth, making your lawn more resilient to drought. 2️⃣ Embrace the Early Bird: Water your lawn in the early morning, before the sun gets too high. This minimizes evaporation and gives the water time to soak in before the heat hits. 3️⃣ Know Your Grass: Different types of grass have different watering needs. Research your specific grass variety and adjust your watering schedule accordingly. ❗ Bonus Tip: Avoid these common mistakes: 1️⃣ Overwatering: This can lead to root rot and attract pests. 2️⃣ Watering at midday: This wastes water due to evaporation. 3️⃣ Neglecting shady areas: They may need extra attention during hot spells. By following these tips, you can ensure your lawn stays hydrated and healthy throughout the summer, even when the temperatures soar! Remember, a happy lawn means a happy homeowner. #walkermowers #landscaping #lawncare #summervibes #lawnmaintenance #wateringtips #beattheheat #greengreengrass #BoilingSpringsSmallEngine #powertools #WalkerDealer #SpartanburgMowers #SpartanburgWalkerMowers

Beat the Heat: July's Lawn Care Tip from Jasperson Sod! Keeping your lawn lush and healthy during scorching summer months can be a challenge. Here at Jasperson Sod, we know the importance of proper watering techniques to ensure your grass thrives throughout the season. This July, our lawn care tip focuses on deep and infrequent watering. Here's why: • Combating Moisture Stress: Hot, dry weather depletes your soil's moisture, leading to wilting, stunted growth, and increased vulnerability to pests and weeds. • Watering Wisely: Deep watering (once or twice a week, reaching 4-6 inches deep) is more effective than frequent, shallow watering. This encourages roots to grow deeper, making your lawn more resilient to drought. • The Screwdriver Test: Unsure if your lawn needs water? Push a screwdriver into the soil. If it meets resistance, it's time to water! If it slides in easily, hold off for a bit. Pro Tip: Water your lawn early in the morning to minimize evaporation. And be mindful of weather forecasts - skip watering before rain to avoid oversaturation. By following these tips, you can conserve water while keeping your lawn healthy and vibrant all summer long.

Alongside same-day installation, don't forget to... 💧 Apply underlawn fertiliser - As the weather gets hotter and drier, it's more critical to apply underlawn fertiliser at the time of installation to help your turf retain moisture. 💧 Water regularly - Remember to water your new turf immediately after installation and continue to water regularly, especially during hot weather.
