Keep Your Lawn Green During a Drought

Is your lawn looking a little crispy after weeks of 90-degree temperatures and very little rain?

Across Michigan, the lack of significant rainfall has resulted in turfgrass stress, or dry lawns that are turning brown. 

According to the Michigan State University Department of Plant, Soil, and Microbial Sciences, “the vast majority of lawns in Michigan are primarily composed of Kentucky bluegrass.” Typically, this type of lawn doesn’t die unless it lacks water for six to eight weeks in combination with high temperatures. 

1) Don’t worry as much about controlling weeds. Just like the grass, many weeds are slowing down their growth and trying to control them now would be difficult.

2) During hot weather, heat tracks are common, caused from mowers and spreaders. Avoid mowing during the heat of the afternoon to prevent tracks.

Keep Your Lawn Healthy Year Round

Maintaining your lawn year round is a great approach that will make a healthier lawn an easier process. Grass will tolerate the heat in the summer more easily if it’s in a healthy state to begin with – throughout the entire year. 

Proper fertilization, watering, mowing, and pest control all help to produce a healthy lawn all year long. If that sounds like a hefty chore, hire the professionals! A great fertilizer company in Livingston County and the surrounding communities will help do the heavy lifting of lawn maintenance so you don’t have to worry.
