🌞 Drought Stress? Here's How to Help Your Lawn Survive! 🌱
When rain is scarce and temperatures are high, your lawn can quickly become stressed. A few simple steps can help keep it healthy until better weather arrives:
✅ Water Deeply, Not Daily – Aim for 1–1.5 inches of water per week. Deep watering encourages stronger root growth.
✅ Water Early Morning – Water between 5 AM and 9 AM to reduce evaporation and allow moisture to soak in.
✅ Raise Your Mowing Height – Taller grass shades the soil, helping it retain moisture and protecting roots from heat.
✅ Leave Grass Clippings – Mulched clippings return valuable nutrients and help the soil hold moisture.
✅ Limit Foot Traffic – Drought-stressed grass is more susceptible to damage. Try to avoid excessive walking or playing on dry areas.
✅ Watch for Signs of Stress – Grayish-blue color, footprints that remain visible, and wilting blades are signs your lawn needs water.
Remember: A healthy lawn can go dormant during drought and recover when conditions improve. The key is protecting the roots and conserving moisture.
