Home Maintenance Guide: Early Summer Grass Tips

Are you trying to have the most iconic front yard in your neighbourhood? Did you just buy your Windsor home and the yard needs some love and attention? Are you thinking of selling your home and want to attract attention from shoppers looking for houses for sale in Windsor? If yes, to any of those, don’t ignore the curb appeal your front lawn adds. The summer can be hard on your lawn after the spring showers helped it grow. Keep the lawn the talk of your neighbourhood with these tips for your lawn for the early summer stages approaching.

Mow High: Taller blades will help your grass develop deeper roots. The deeper roots are better at reaching water underground. Tall grass also helps to shade soil and keep it cool allowing you to use less water. This tip is useful all summer long, keep it long!
Fee Your Lawn: By fertilzing and feeding your lawn in the early stages of summer it helps strengthen the lawn allowing it to stand up to the heat and possible drought conditions that come with the later summer months.
Fight Grubs: If you had a grub problem last year or if you know that a close neighbour has grubs, early summer is your last chance to rid yourself of them for the year. After this, these pests will eat right through your grass roots, resulting in dead patches in late summer.
Leave Your Clippings: Don’t bag your clippings! Instead, leave the clippings on the lawn when you mow. They will break down and help to feed your lawn by providing nutrients back into the lawn.
Weed Watch: Keep your eyes peeled for weeds that pop up. Remove them as soon as possible and spot treat the areas to stop the invasion before it starts.
