TIPS & ADVICE

heat stress lawn care
Summertime in the Southeast presents both opportunities and challenges when it comes to caring for your lawn.  The bright sun, the warm weather, the afternoon rain showers give your grass the energy and moisture it needs to thrive.  On the other hand, the high temperatures and excessive exposure to sun and moisture can damage your grass and dry it out, causing heat stress, which can then result in other problems with your lawn.

The lawn care professionals at Mighty Green Lawn Care are very experienced with drought stress or heat stress and know how to prevent it. Our team will be able to keep your lawn safe during even the most sweltering Alabama summers.

The Importance of Proper Lawn Watering

lawn advice
A healthy lawn is one that is provided with the proper amount of sunlight, oxygen, fertilizer, and moisture.  Unless your lawn is receiving plenty of water from consistent rainfall, then it is important to ensure that your lawn is given water on a regular basis.  The ideal amount of water that a healthy lawn needs is about one inch per week, especially during the warmer season.  By using a rain gauge (bought inexpensively at a garden supply store), you can easily measure how much water your lawn has received each week.  Remember that the one-inch recommendation includes rainwater, as well as water that you provide for your lawn.
​
Most lawn care professionals agree that watering a lawn in the early morning hours is the best option, preferably between the hours of 5am-9am.  As the sun rises, the water droplets will have plenty of time to be absorbed into the grass blades, before evaporating due to extreme heat from the summer sun.  Later in the day will probably prove to be too hot for proper watering, because the water will evaporate too quickly, and will not have time to be absorbed by the plants.

It’s that time of year once again when the daylight is longer, the temperatures can’t get any hotter, and the greenery all around us requires vigilant overseeing by a caretaker.  One activity that a lot of property owners engage in during this time of year is the watering processes of their lawns.  Grasses need to receive water throughout these hot summer months, but there are some particular techniques that landscape caregivers should consider.

Within this article, you will find some of the main watering mistakes that people make when it comes to watering their lawns.  There is a fine balance between providing the right amount of water that a lawn needs and not wasting water, time, or unnecessary attention to the lawn.  This guide should help you improve the beauty, healthfulness, and longevity of a beautiful yard for all to enjoy throughout the summer months and beyond.
​

If you have an automatic sprinkler system, then one common mistake people make is to set the sprinkler system on automatic and then forget about it.  Local weather changes all of the time, and it is important for you to keep an eye on changing weather patterns.  For example, during times of heavy rainy periods, you will not need to run your sprinkler system because nature is providing adequate water for your lawn.  However, when you turn off your automatic setting, you will need to make sure you reset the switch for another time.  By depending on mother nature to provide water when she can, you are responsibly conserving water resources. ​

Summer Lawn Care Tips

6/6/2017

During these summer months, extreme temperatures can play havoc on lawns everywhere.  Hot afternoons can be difficult for grasses, plants, bushes, and trees.  There are several things that you can do to improve the healthiness of your yard during this sizzling time.  Follow some simple steps to improve your lawn’s heartiness and growing cycles.

One easy transition that you can do during the summer months is to not cut your grass too short.  Blades of grass that are trimmed too low have a difficult time producing the energy they need to thrive.  In order to achieve an ideal level of cutting, simply raise the blades of your lawn mower up a degree or two and stay on that setting until later in the year when temperatures turn cooler.
