1. Mow at the Right Height :
During summer, avoid cutting your grass too short. Taller grass provides shade for the soil, reducing moisture loss and helping prevent weeds. Aim to keep your lawn at around 3-4 inches tall.
2. Water Wisely :
Water deeply and infrequently rather than shallowly and often. Early morning is the best time to water, as it allows moisture to soak in before the heat of the day evaporates it. Most lawns need about 1-1.5 inches of water per week.
3. Keep Your Mower Blades Sharp :
Dull blades tear the grass rather than cutting it cleanly, which can lead to disease and stress. Sharpen your mower blades regularly to ensure a clean, even cut.
4. Mulch Your Clippings :
Instead of bagging your clippings, leave them on the lawn. Grass clippings decompose quickly and return essential nutrients to the soil, acting as a natural fertilizer.
