Why Summer Lawn Care Is Crucial
Summer in the Midwest and Northeast means hot temperatures, inconsistent rainfall, and increased lawn traffic from family and pets. These conditions can quickly lead to:
- Drought stress
- Thinning or yellowing grass
- Weed outbreaks
- Insect infestations
Without proper care, lawns can become patchy, brittle, and vulnerable to pests and disease.
Essential Summer Lawn Care Tips
To help your lawn thrive all summer long, here are a few best practices:
1. Watering Your Lawn
Water in the morning, the best time is between 6 and 10 a.m. Water deeply, about 1 inch each week. This helps promote deep roots and reduces evaporation.
2. Mow High
Set your mower height to 3–4 inches. Taller grass shades the soil, preserves moisture, and prevents weed growth.
3. Feed Your Lawn
Summer fertilization provides essential nutrients that help turf withstand heat stress. However, it must be done properly to avoid burning the grass.
4. Keep an Eye on Weeds
Crabgrass and other summer weeds thrive in heat. Staying proactive with a weed control program is key to preventing spread.
Summer Pest Control: Protect What Matters Most
Along with summer lawn care, pest control is essential to protect your yard and your family from annoying and potentially harmful pests.
Common Summer Lawn Pests Include:
- Grubs – These white beetle larvae feed on grassroots, causing brown patches and attracting moles.
- Chinch Bugs – Tiny insects that suck grass blades dry, often mistaken for drought stress.
- Mosquitoes & Ticks – Not just a nuisance, they carry diseases like West Nile Virus and Lyme Disease.
- Fleas & Ants – These pests thrive in shaded, moist areas and can overrun outdoor spaces quickly.
