Lawn care in summer
A well-tended lawn is an eye-catcher in any garden. However, especially in summer, the lawn needs special attention to stay healthy and green. In this guide, we will give you tips on general lawn care and focus specifically on lawn care in summer.
The most important facts in brief:
- do not mow the lawn too short
- check and adjust water requirements regularly
- imprints can indicate a lack of water
The ideal lawn care in summer
If the grass does not straighten itself after you have walked over it, this may be a sign of an acute water shortage. From watering and mowing to the right fertilization - we give you practical advice on how to protect your lawn from drought and heat and keep it green and well cared for. Because a beautiful and healthy lawn in summer requires appropriate care.
The right irrigation for high temperatures
Mowing the lawn in summer - what do I need to consider?
The lawn often grows faster in summer, so regular mowing is necessary. Set the lawnmower to a higher cutting height to leave the grass longer. A lawn with a little more length is better able to retain moisture and protect it from drying out. Leave the mowed grass on the lawn as mulch to retain moisture and protect the lawn from sunlight.
Fertilization in summer
Balanced fertilization is crucial for healthy lawn growth. In summer, the lawn needs nutrients to withstand the stresses of heat and drought. Use a lawn fertilizer with a balanced ratio of essential active ingredients.
These ingredients contribute to a vital soil and lawn in summer:
| Ingredient | Effect |
|---|---|
| Potassium | Increased resistance to pests, regulated metabolism of the lawn |
| Calcium | Supporting the absorption of nutrients |
| Phosphorus | Increased root growth |
| Magnesium | Ensures a lush green lawn by supporting the formation of chlorophyll |
| Nitrogen | Stimulated lawn growth, thanks to promotion of cell division |
Make sure to spread the fertilizer evenly over the lawn and work it in thoroughly.
Tip: With a Aerating roller the lawn can be optimally aerated before fertilization.
Weed control during lawn care in summer
In warm temperatures, weeds often have the best conditions to grow in the lawn. Regular weed control should therefore be part of the lawn care program in summer. Remove weeds by hand or use targeted weedkillers if necessary. However, make sure that the products used are suitable for the lawn and do not damage it.
Optimum lawn protection against drought
To protect the lawn from drying out, you can apply a thin layer of mulch. Mulch helps to retain soil moisture and suppress the growth of weeds. Avoid walking on the lawn during the hot midday hours to avoid damaging the grass roots.
In addition to the above tips, it is important to regularly check the lawn for signs of pests or disease. Early action in the event of problems can help to prevent major damage.
