If you have maintained the proper lawn care throughout the spring, your lawn should be a beautiful healthy dark green. As we know, the summer months usually bring higher temperatures and are also dryer than the spring. Lawn care for these months should be focused on retaining moisture and maximizing fertilizer nutrients.
The continuity of weed and grub control is still recommended, but it is also time to use a summer blend fertilizer that focuses on protecting lawns from disease and brown spots caused by the summer heat. These fertilizers have a different concentration of nutrients than the previous 3 steps we discussed. Summer blend fertilizers work by activating nutrients in your soil that help retain moisture to prevent topsoil erosion and heat stress. Similar to the previous fertilizers discussed, summer blends also release nutrients slowly for consistent growth.
With the correct amount of weed and grub control in conjunction with a summer blend fertilizer, your lawn should continue to be healthy beautiful dark green into the hottest summer months.
