☀️ Looking after your lawn during the current dry spell ☀️
With the hot, dry weather continuing across the UK, a lot of people are asking what they should be doing to keep their lawn healthy.
Here are a few simple tips:
🌱 Water deeply, not little and often – If you’re going to water, give the lawn a good soak early in the morning or late in the evening. A light sprinkle each day encourages shallow roots.
🚫 Don’t cut it too short – Raise your mower height. Longer grass shades the soil, helping it retain moisture and protecting the roots from the sun.
💚 Don’t panic if it turns brown – Grass naturally goes dormant in prolonged hot weather. It isn’t dead! Once we get some decent rainfall, most lawns will green up again.
❌ Hold off on scarifying or aggressive treatments – These are best left until cooler, wetter conditions return.
Patience is key. A brown lawn in summer is completely normal, and with the right care it should recover when the rain returns.
If you’d like advice on keeping your lawn in the best possible condition or want to book in for autumn treatments, feel free to get in touch. 🌿
