Rottler offers some tips to help nurse your yard through the hot and dry summer months

It’s easy for us to run for air conditioning and a glass of water for relief on hot summer days but think about the torture your lawn must go through! Ok, this may be a bit drastic but there is some truth in the idea that extreme heat can really have a damaging effect to your lush lawn. Grass can become dry, wilted and lose its “bounce” after many days of high temps. And with a week expected to hit the triple digits in St. Louis, we thought now was a good time to talk about some ways to save your lawn from the heat.

Watering and maintenance are the two most important aspects when it comes to keeping a lush lawn even through the heat wave. The STL lawn care pros would like to share some tips on how to maintain your property’s beauty:

1. Make sure to water your lawn more regularly through periods of extreme heat and no rain. You may need to water 5 or more times in a week with temps above 95 and no rain.

2. Do not over water your lawn. Make sure that if there is rain you subtract those from your watering days. Consider it a break when the rain comes!

3. Water the lawn (or have your irrigation system set) in the early morning hours. Your grass will be able to soak up the water most efficiently before the blazing sun comes to shine.

4. Keep your grass cut to about 2 or 3 inches tall. This is the perfect height for water to reach deep down to the roots of the grass.
