July 2017 in Annapolis, MD
July is a wonderful time of year to enjoy the Annapolis outdoors. We are right in the thick of summer and a few dry, hot weeks in June has put some stress on sunny lawns. Occasional thunderstorms can help, but are hard to count on. Lawns can go dormant and turn brown until the weather cools, but if you want a nice green lawn this summer you will probably need to do some watering on your own.

A few watering tips for this July-

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 long, deep 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. 

So here is the specific recommendation for this time of year-
45 minutes of watering every other day between 5am and 8am

​If we get into consecutive days above the 90 degree mark bump that up to 1 hour of watering every other day.

July is also the time to be on the offensive against the lawn grub. Grubs are the larvae of the Japanese beetle and are now coming to the surface of your lawn and feeding on your grass roots damaging and killing sections of your lawn. And if this weren't bad enough, moles and other critters will dig your lawn up looking to eat these grubs! If you kill the grubs then no root eating occurs and the critters will go elsewhere to feed. A Lawn Health program offers grub treatment with the July fertilizer application allowing you to get ahead of the grub problem in your lawn so you can enjoy your healthy grass and lawn.  Lawn Health programs also provide spot spraying for summer lawn weeds that will be popping up such as crabgrass, nutsedge and bermudagrass.

One final tip for July is to start letting your lawn grow a bit longer - 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. Mowing height determines grass length and the ideal situation for your lawn is always considered by the Jon's Lawns Mowing Service.
