As the summer sun burns and rain taps on the lawn, now is the time to lift your green space. Good care and new methods can turn your lawn and garden into a lush retreat. I learned some hints from my recent work to help you build a bright summer garden.
Use the Weather
This summer brings steady rain and hot sunlight. Rain soaks the soil and feeds the plants. You can change your mowing plan and watch your ground closely. Use the weather as a tool to serve your garden well.
Lawn Care Tools
Sharp mower blades cut grass clean and even. Blunt blades tear the blades of green and may leave brown spots. Get a grinder part to keep your blades sharp. Clean the mower deck to cut clumps and make the trim even in humid air.
Checking Grass Height
Watch your grass and its length. Tall grass may seem fine from afar but can crowd the lawn in heat. Fescue can grow thick and drop clumps when you cut it. Use a lower cut to let air flow and keep the grass healthy. Change the mower height as the days turn.
Fertilizing on Time
Feeding your lawn when the time is set can lift growth and color. An experiment with fescue showed a strong rise after a dose of feed worked the soil. This feeding gives the grass the food it needs to grow strong and bright for fall.
New Grass Choices
Try new types of grass this summer. Warm grasses like buffalo grass cope well with heat. Watch buffalo grass spread and send out runners in the heat. When you try a new green type, change watering and feeding to meet its own needs.
Fighting Weeds Naturally
Summer growth brings weeds like crabgrass and spurge. Instead of strong chemicals, pull weeds by hand in the spot. A lawn that grows thick will need fewer hand pulls as time goes on.
Smoothing the Lawn
Fix uneven ground this summer. Uneven spots hold water and may harm the grass. A small fix can tidy the ground and stop water from standing. Plan a big fix in the fall but do small checks now to keep water from pooling.
Refreshing your lawn takes slow care, set time, and the right tools. With sun and rain, careful cutting, and trials with new grasses, you can build a garden that lifts your home and serves as a calm retreat. Hold on to these tips and work steadily, and watch your green space grow under the summer light.
