Staying Hydrated

As the summer gets hotter, you have to ensure that you are hydrated and the same is true for your grass. There's an art when it comes to watering your lawn in the summer, which includes timing, depth, and nature of the water. The first step is crucial to consider the time of day that you are watering your lawn. We recommend that you water your lawn earlier early in the morning to prevent loss of water in the hottest time of midday. Avoid watering until 10 a.m. since humidity can promote the growth of fungi.

If mower blades aren't sharp, they will frequently cut grass, which could cause diseases and harm the overall health of the plant.
