Welcome to our guide to summer lawn care on Long Island. Maintaining a lush, healthy lawn in this climate requires some specific strategies. Here are the top tips to keep your Long Island lawn thriving during the summer months:
-
Water Daily: Long Island summers can be dry, so water your lawn daily, preferably in the early morning to reduce evaporation.
-
Mow at the Right Height: Set your mower blades to 3 to 3.5 inches high to promote healthy growth and discourage weeds. Mow when the grass is dry and vary your mowing pattern.
-
Collect Clippings: After mowing, gather the grass clippings in a bag to prevent the spread of weeds.
-
Watch for Fungal Infections: Long Island's humid summers can promote fungal diseases like brown patch and dollar spot. Watch for signs such as discolored patches or thinning grass and contact Lawn Pro for treatment options.
