Simple Summer Lawns
Keeping your lawn a lush and healthy oasis during the hot summer months is a breeze with regular maintenance and the help of Southern States products.
Lawn-care maintenance involves three simple tasks: watering, mowing and fertilizing.
The best time to water is in the morning because it gives the grass a chance to dry. Watering in the evening doesn't allow enough time for grass to dry, and the excess moisture can encourage diseases.
Regular mowing is absolutely necessary to maintain the health and appearance of your yard. It also discourages weeds and pests.
Cut grass often enough so that no more than one-third of the total grass height is removed at one time. In the summer, it's best to leave the grass with a little more height. A taller height helps shade the soil, which reduces water requirements and lessens heat stress on the grass. Typically, Turf Tall Fescue types should be kept at a height of 5 to 6 inches tall.
Fertilizing your lawn is another key to maintaining the brilliant greens of a well-nourished lawn. The three major nutrients that are the key to green are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K).
All three nutrients are essential in lawn care because they enhance color, promote quick roots and seeding, improve winter hardiness, and reduce the risk of disease. All three nutrients can be found in Southern States' well-balanced fertilizers.
Year-round maintenance will ensure a great lawn come summer. Southern States carries a four-step lawn-care program. With a balanced blend of fertilization, weed control and insect control, keeping your yard healthy is a snap. Grow Like a Pro brochure
