A few customers have asked whether they should be watering their lawn during this particularly hot and dry spell we're having.
In short the answer is yes and no. Grass has the ability to go dormant during periods of warmer weather but extreme conditions can result in damage to your lawn. Have a read of this information if you're not sure whether or not to be watering at the moment...whatever you do though, don't water during the middle of a hot day!

There are times when you should water your lawn and times when you should not. Find out best practice for watering your lawn from The Grass People
