Summer Lawn Care Tips For Longview Properties
- Watering. It is always important to water your lawn, but even more so this time of year. Your grass needs consistent moisture, so we encourage you to water in the early morning and again in the early evening.
- Pest Control. Mosquitoes, ticks and other pests are far too common in the region. Your best bet is to remain vigilant and proactive, rather than wait around for an infestation.
- Weeding. Weeds thrive with all the extra sunlight, so keeping up with proper weed treatments is even more important this time of year.
- Fertilizing. In order to maintain a lush, full lawn, you need to make sure your soil has the right nutrients.
- Grasscycling. After mowing, you can leave grass clippings on your lawn to take advantage of those extra nutrients. This will allow you to spend less money on fertilizer.
- Mowing. For the summer season, your best bet is to mow during the cooler parts of the day, (mid-morning or early evening). During your mowing, be sure to remain vigilant against potential tick bites. Always wear close-toed shoes, regardless of the heat. Your target should be to never cut more than 1/3 of leaf blade at one time. Mow regularly to avoid doing so in order to maintain the proper length for your type of grass. The cutting heights we recommend are as follows: Zoysia 1-2″, Hydrid Bermuda 1-2.5″, Centipede 1.5 to 2.5″, St. Augustine 2.5-3″, Common Bermuda 1.5-3″.
