Summer Lawn Tips

Longer days, more light and more heat mean it's the height of the growing season - but too much heat can wilt your lawn and shrubs. Learn how you can make the most of the season with these summer lawn care tips:

Proper watering  and water conservation is the most important at any time of year, but particularly when heat and lack of rain lead to water  deficits and drought.

It is recommended to water your lawn and shrubs infrequently but give long waterings when thirsty. Fewer, heavy waterings are much better than frequent, short cycles. Try to water in the morning whenever possible.

Evaluate your lawn and shrubs regularly for signs of irregular color and texture. These can be signs of damage that may result from pests and disease.

If your lawn is not lush and uniform green, contact Coastal Turf for a free 14 point lawn analysis and find out what summer care solutions we can provide.

Proper year-round lawn care keeps turf healthy and prevents weeds, disease, and pests. But sometimes insects you may not notice can travel from yard to yard. To stop them, Coastal Turf recommends insect and/or disease controls to keep bugs and disease problems from destroying your lawn, trees, and shrubs. Coastal Turf can also reduce other non-damaging insects.  We can reduce their presence by treating the lawn for insects such as fleas, ticks, and fire ants.

While lawns are generally the focal point of most yards, don't forget about trees and shrubs. Well-maintained landscaping adds dimensionality to a home and increases it's value.

In the heat of the summer you may be tempted to mow your lawn in shorts and flip flops but Coastal Turf's trained professionals remind you to stay safe by wearing long pants and close-toed shoes.

Also, no matter what outdoor activity you're enjoying, be sure to stay hydrated with plenty of water.

The essentials of good summer lawn care are watering, fertilizing, and proper mowing. However, sometimes an underlying problem (such as bare spots or severly damaged turf) may require additional measures.
