Watering Tips
In the summer, we often experience spells of rain-free days, or even weeks! Here are some ways to maintain a healthy moisture level in your lawn.
Don't water too early in the Spring. Colling and saturating the soil too much can damage the roots and reduce their ability to take in nutrients. It can also kill deep roots, which makes grass more susceptible to drought due to the need for more frequent watering.
When it is time to water, make sure to saturate the lawn to the deep roots. This trains the roots to grow down and not out. Most lawns require about 1 inch of water per week in the summer months. It is best to saturate the top 6 to 8 inches of soil with each watering.
Water your lawn in the early morning, preferably before 10:00am. A water timer can help with this task. Watering too late in the day will cause the water to ecaporate and not reach deep into the soil, while watering at night can promote fungal growth.
If you experience water use restrictions in your area, you can still help your lawn stay healthy. Keep your mower deck up - the tall grass will shade the soil to help prevent drying. Also, instead of watering the whole lawn, target areas of high activity and foot traffic. These areas come undermore stress than others, so focus there when water availability is at a minimum.
Mowing Tips
Think the grass at the golf course looks great? Well, keep it on the course! When it comes to your lawn, longer is better. Here is why:
Shorter lawns generally mean shorter roots for your grass. Keep your lawn around 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 inches high. Deeper roots are stronger, which makes your lawn more resilient when the dry weather comes along. Taller grass shades the soil to help maintain moisture and also helps to shade the weeds out.
Never cut more than 1/3 of the height of your grass at each mowing. Doing so causes the plant to focus on leaf repair rather than root development, making lawns more susceptible to disease and drought.
