Help Your Lawn Survive Summer
Transitioning from spring to summer can lead to a drought stressed lawn, especially in 2024 with its unpredictable weather patterns. As temperatures soar and rainfall becomes sporadic, lawns across our area may exhibit signs of distress, such as browning and dormancy.
However, it’s important to understand that your grass isn’t dying; rather, it’s entering a natural survival mode to conserve energy and moisture. This dormancy helps your lawn endure harsh conditions until more favorable weather returns.
During this critical period, proactive measures can make a significant difference in your drought stressed lawn’s ability to bounce back from summer’s weather challenges. At ProLawn, we specialize in tailored solutions to combat drought stress and promote the health of your lawn. Our Organic-based Lawn Healthcare Services are designed to rejuvenate and fortify your turf, helping ensure it not only survives but thrives throughout the summer and beyond.
Organic Micro-Nutrients
For example, Our Organic Micro-Nutrient treatments play a crucial role in this process by delivering essential nutrients directly to your turf’s roots. While the leaf of your grass is dormant during drought stress, the roots are not. Feeding them helps strengthen the root system, providing more support for the grass blade when conditions are right for growth to continue. Lawns are being fed what they need during this time of stress.
Lime Services
Furthermore, our Lime services are instrumental in maintaining optimal soil pH levels. By carefully adjusting the acidity of your soil, we create an ideal environment for turf. Proper pH makes the applied nutrients readily available to the plant.
We offer Maintenance Lime for those whose pH is at or near the optimal 6.5. For those whose pH is 6.3 or lower, we offer a more intensive Corrective Lime service to get the soil conditions ideal for turf growth.
Lime services are a proactive measure which supports healthier root systems and ensures that your lawn remains vibrant and green, even in challenging conditions. It also creates a soil profile that is unattractive to weeds, thereby reducing the need for chemical weed control. While not a “quick fix,” the impact of addressing soil deficiencies, much like a healthy diet, ensures overall long-term health for your lawn.
Watering
Of course, the adage “the grass is always greener where you water it” is particularly true when rainfall is sporadic at best. Please observe local juristictions when they post “no water” directives. Otherwise, consider setting up a watering plan and stick to it. Ultimately, having a poor watering plan is worse than having none at all. Read our post on Best Watering Practices to learn more.
