With summer just around the corner, lawns and garden spaces are about to face stress caused by summer heat. While it’s hard to pick my top tip for lawn care/ landscaping / gardening / outdoor renovation, here are my top three tips.

1) Water your lawn consistently and water in the mornings! – Consistent watering is key. If you don’t plan on watering consistently, don’t bother watering at all. Consistent watering habits will help stave off dormancy – when the turf shuts down from the heat, turning brown and hibernating until temperatures cool. It’s also extremely important to water your lawn in the mornings, so the water can reach the roots of your turf before the sun begins evaporating the water.

2) Utilize fertilizers with care – When temperatures heat up, you run the risk of burning your lawn when using quick-release fertilizers. Consider utilizing a slow-release fertilizer, an organic fertilizer or even a compost tea during the summers to minimize your burn potential.

3) Mow a little higher - Let your grass grow a little higher. Taller grass is more tolerant to drought and allows for deeper root growth.
