​Enjoy the Outdoors!

This has been a year unlike any we have ever lived through. The uncertainty is seen and heard throughout Annapolis.  As our customers and neighbors work to return to healthy and productive lives, this August, it is ironically comforting that our lawns and landscapes are uninterrupted and thriving. Summer has provided us a few more rain storms than last year and that has kept thing green and growing. Of all places, perhaps in your lawn you can find a bit of hope that things we have become use to, and perhaps taken for granted, will return and we can return to living our lives fully but with a new appreciation for things that we have.

August begins the toughest time of year for our lawns. It is typical for our weather forecast to show thunderstorms every day for the upcoming week and not uncommon for every single one to miss us. We have been fortunate so far this summer to have just enough storms hit to keep our lawns quenched. But historically, we will run into a very dry spell of missed thunderstorms at some point over the next two months and it is helpful to have a watering plan ready to keep things green through the Annapolis summer.  

In between our much needed rain, a few lawn watering tips for Annapolis in 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. (If temperatures hold steady in the 90s and your lawn is in full sun, daily watering is recommended.)

One final tip for July is to allow your lawn to grow a bit longer - mowing at 4+ inches is recommended. The extra grass length will give your lawn more shade for the soil and roots and because the grass 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 through the summer. Mowing height determines grass length and the ideal situation for your lawn is always considered by the Jon's Lawns Mowing Service.

If you thought you would give it a go on your own, only to see your yard get away from you, it is never too late to have us take over so you can just relax. Lawn Clean-Up, Mulch Bed Service, and beginning a Lawn Care program can happen at anytime. LawnStrong is our top-level, all-inclusive program that is uniquely customized to your lawn and property's needs. Jon would be happy to meet with you personally to discuss service options that will meet your expectations and have your lawn and property looking great throughout 2020 and beyond.
