✋🚨 STOP RIGHT THERE 🚨✋
May is when lawns start growing fast, but the wrong habits now can leave your grass stressed, patchy, and unhealthy going into summer.
Here are 3 lawn mistakes gardeners make in May 👇
1️⃣ Cutting the grass too short
✅ The truth: Scalping weakens the lawn and dries it out faster.
🛠 Fix: Keep mower blades slightly higher as temperatures rise.
2️⃣ Watering little and often
✅ The truth: Shallow watering creates weak roots.
🛠 Fix: Water deeply less often to encourage stronger root growth.
3️⃣ Ignoring patchy or thin areas
✅ The truth: Bare spots get worse as summer stress increases.
🛠 Fix: Overseed and repair thin areas before hot weather arrives.
🌱 Strong summer lawns are built with good habits in May.
