August 2019:
Summer in Annapolis!
August is a great time to get outside and enjoy the summer in Annapolis!

Mother nature has certainly served up a dry spell this summer.  Lawns that have not had a sprinkler to supplement some water have had a tough stretch. We are hoping to get some August rains and thunderstorms to revive the green.

The beauty of a lawn is that it is a living thing and can always be revived. If after a few consecutive wet days you don't see it beginning to come back to life, this is the time to start planning your Lawn Rejuvenation program for the fall season. From late-August through October Jon's Lawns will be aerating lawns, fertilizing, over-seeding and seeding for repairs. This can fix any issues that may have developed this year and set your lawn up to be strong and healthy in 2020.  We will choose the ideal premium seed blend for your lawn and growing conditions.
​
In between our much needed rain, a few watering tips for August-

1)    Water in the MORNING - This allows your lawn to have water at its roots during the hottest parts of the day. Furthermore, a wet lawn in the dark of night is breeding grounds for lawn fungi such as brown patch.

2)    Water DEEP - A 45-60 minute soaking every-other-day is better than a short, shallow drink every day. This encourages the grass roots to grow deep where they will be able to find more water on their own. Shallow watering encourages weak, shallow rooting which is not ideal. 

One final tip for August is to allow your lawn to grow a bit longer - mowing at 4+ inches is recommended. The extra grass blade length will give your lawn more shade for its crown and roots and because the blade makes the food for the grass, more length equals more strength in general. While it may not give you that tight, short-cropped look, you will appreciate a longer green lawn rather than a short brown lawn to end the summer. Mowing height determines grass length and the ideal situation for your lawn is always considered by the Jon's Lawns Mowing Service.
