Now that it is summer, some of you may not know how to care for your lawn properly. I have seen people mowing and watering at 3pm and 98 degrees.
A big No No, this will stress your grass out and it will look limp and will change color. If you have a timer system, set timer to water for 7-10 min, 2-3times between 11pm and 4am. If you hand water, water for 30-60 min in evening if the winds are low. Mow your lawn before 9 am when possible or late evening if it cools down or has shade. No need to water after mowing unless it is in the evening. Remember that a lawn can go 2 weeks without water and come back to life. If you are rationing water, water once a week.
Do not add fertilizer to lawn unless you immediatly water after applying.
These tips are for Summer only. Enjoy your healthy lawn.
