Staying Hydrated
As the summer heats up, it is important to ensure that you are hydrated and the same is true for your grass. There's an art when it comes to watering your grass in the summer. This means applying the correct amount of water at the appropriate time, the right depth, and the correct type of water. It is important to think about the time of day when you are watering your lawn. To avoid heat evaporation We recommend that you water your lawn as early as you can during the morning. Make sure to stop watering by 10 am . refrain from watering after dark as the moisture may encourage fungus growth.
Your Lawn is in Deep Water
You may think it's better to regularly water in summer, but it's more effective to apply water slowly and sparsely. The sprinklers can be turned off longer than the norm, but less frequently so that the grass roots have time to develop deeper in the soil, allowing them to withstand the temperatures.
Growing in the rain
Rainwater is a good alternative for grass and the natural environment. You'll not only be conserving water by making use of the rain gathered from summer storms, but the fresh rainwater is also much more nutritional than tap water.

Mow High
Lawnmowers from Lexington, Kentucky recommend keeping your grass in good shape during summer by increasing the size of your mower and mowing less often. While it may be tempting to cut it shorter and less frequently, keeping your grass longer will encourage the roots penetrate deeper into the soil which helps to improve water retention. This is because your lawn will be able to capture water deep underground which can prove beneficial during dry spells. The grass's longer blades will also protect you from the intense summer sun.
Mow Sharp
It is possible to make the mess of your lawn when you use dull blades. Mower blades not kept sharp can cause grass to be shredded and cause disease and worsen the health of the plant. Keep your blades sharp during summer, when your lawn mower will suddenly become the most used tool in the tool shed.
