Taking care of the lawn during summer


All of you that have made a passion out of gardening surely know that a lawn is very sensible and the high temperatures that can be encountered during summer along with powerful sun radiation can be enemies as important as winter conditions. This is why we have to learn how to take care of our lawn during summer in order to maintain it in good condition.


When you mow your lawn during summer avoid cutting too low. From our experience it would simply be better to raise your mower to the highest possible position in order to protect your lawn better against heat and dehumidification. A higher cut lawn is also healthier for the grass because of the fact that it will allow it to grow deeper roots in to the ground.



Lawn traffic is inevitable during summer because people usually spend their free time on it, relaxing and having a good time. However, heavy traffic should be avoided and the areas where the lawn has already started to deteriorate should be protected until their condition is restored.
