August 2018: Summer in Annapolis, MD
It has been an unpredictable year of weather here in Annapolis as we have come to expect. A very wet May stressed lawns out in a month that is usually an easy one for our lawns. Then an incredibly dry June and July swung the pendulum the other way, putting some lawns into an early dormancy and in some cases killing parts of lawns that could not handle extreme conditions.

August rains and thunderstorms are reviving some of this dryness. But if your lawn had a rough go of it this summer and you are interested in strengthening your lawn this fall to set you up for 2019, 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 end 2018 strong and healthy.  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.
