With the summer heat, lawns can quickly turn brown and dry out. If you’ve noticed your green space looking like straw, don’t panic! We have tips to help revive your lawn and common mistakes to avoid.
Importance of Proper Watering Times
Did you know the time of day is crucial for watering your lawn? Many people make the mistake of watering at the wrong time. Always water in the morning or evening. Watering during midday can lead to further damage, as sunlight magnifies on the water droplets, intensifying the heat.
Lawn Care Tips
Mowing is also best done in the morning or evening. Cutting the grass makes it sensitive, and open wounds need time to heal without direct sunlight.
Turn Brown into Green in Three Steps!
- Fertilize: Use a suitable fertilizer for your lawn, applying it evenly in the morning or evening for optimal absorption.
- Water: Water the lawn well, preferably every other evening.
- Rest: Allow your lawn to rest and recover. If you must mow, ensure the height remains above 3.5 cm.
After about a week and a half, you should see a lush green lawn! If not, the roots may be dead, and replanting might be necessary.
