When summer heat sets in across Fairport and the greater Rochester area, keeping your lawn lush and green can be a real challenge. Warm temperatures place added stress on cool-season grasses, such as Kentucky bluegrass and fescue, which are commonly found in lawns throughout Upstate New York. Fortunately, with the right approach to watering, mowing, and fertilizing, you can prevent heat damage and maintain a healthy, vibrant lawn throughout the entire season. At Brockman Tree and Lawn Care, we specialize in helping homeowners protect their lawns from the stresses of summer and maintain their outdoor spaces in optimal condition.
Caring for your lawn during the hot months can be rewarding with a few smart watering strategies. Water grass deeply and less frequently. The ideal time to give your lawn a refreshing drink is early in the morning, before 9 a.m. This not only helps reduce evaporation but also keeps those pesky fungi at bay. Local lawns thrive on about 1 to 1.5 inches of moisture each week, including rainfall. To easily monitor rainfall, a rain gauge or a simple container can be very effective.
Mowing your lawn in the summer is essential for a vibrant yard. Keeping grass at 3 to 4 inches shades the soil, retains moisture, and reduces weeds. Sharp mower blades ensure clean cuts, promoting strong root growth and healthy plant development. We offer exceptional mowing services to keep your lawn lush throughout the entire season.
Fertilizing your lawn in the summer is an excellent way to keep it looking lush and green. To achieve the best results, it’s important to time it just right and choose the right products. Remember, excessive fertilizer use during hot or dry spells can harm your grass, so opting for slow-release or organic options is a wise choice.
At Brockman Tree & Lawn Care, we offer personalized fertilization programs tailored to our local climate and the specific grass types in your yard. Whether you want to maintain that gorgeous summer color or prepare your lawn for a healthy fall, our knowledgeable team is here to help you create a plan that complements the seasons beautifully.
