It is getting late in the season now but I thought I should still share this as I get asked a lot about things to do in the summer to maintain a perfect lawn.
Summer Lawn Care Months Included: June, July, August
MOW GRASS HIGH: In the summer months, you need to adjust your mower to its highest or second-highest setting to cut your grass higher than you normally would. Tallgrass leads to stronger, deeper, healthier grassroots. This will help your grass compete more effectively with weeds.
Treat for grubs: Grubs are the milky white, c-shaped larvae of Japanese beetles that will munch through your grassroots, leaving dead patches in their wake.
Control weeds: This is the time to tackle any annual and perennial weeds that have sprung up with a post-emergent herbicide. Depending on the type of weed you’re dealing with, use either a selective or non-selective herbicide. Selective herbicides will target the weed, while non-selective herbicides can harm the grass around it—always read the directions and follow them exactly.
