During the hot Adelaide Summer, your lawn is the best place to enjoy the heat. It is probably the most challenging season for your lawn; with Adelaide’s infamous heatwaves, wind, and dryness, it’s no wonder your lawn can look a little worse for wear.
While you can’t do much about the weather, you can ensure your lawn is well set up to survive these trying conditions. Keeping your property looking good doesn’t take much effort, but here at Guaranteed Garden Services, we understand that caring for your property can be time-consuming, so we’ve listed five tips for lawn care during the hot weather.
Throughout the summer, you will need to increase the regularity of your mowing. If the lawn condition is ideal for growth, in Adelaide, mowing once a fortnight is optimal for keeping it looking its best. However, please don’t cut the lawn too short when it's hot, as this can cause more harm than good. Also, using an edging iron is a great way to keep the edges of your grass neat.
It’s essential to fertilise your lawn to keep it green and healthy. Most lawn fertilisers recommend applying directly after mowing and can be used once a month up until October.
These fertilisers contain nutrients to support and sustain your lawn during the season, resulting in greener grass. It also protects your property against hot, dry weather, as a lawn that is well-prepared in aspects surrounding adequate feeding and better maintenance can withstand and recover from any drought.
Your lawn can dry out quickly with the hot weather; watering or turning on your irrigation early in the morning while it is still relatively calm gives it a chance to absorb the maximum amount of water fully. Late watering may stimulate overnight humidity, resulting in undesirable fungal problems.
Small patches of weeds can be treated efficiently using a weed killer. Be sure to keep your eyes out for patchy lawns or chewed lawn roots, as this may indicate a problem with black beetles or chafer grubs. These underground larvae and bugs feed on grassroots and are controlled using naturally occurring nematodes.
If your lawn is newly sown or freshly turfed, keeping it well-watered in dry spells is essential. It is critical to ensure that you are watering thoroughly, as light watering can cause damage by increasing the chances of roots coming to the surface.
