Summer in Annapolis is a great time to get outside and enjoy your lawn and landscape. 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! It is helpful to have a watering plan ready to keep things green throughout the Annapolis summer.
In between our much needed rain, here are two lawn watering tips for Annapolis this summer- 1) Water in the MORNING - 5am-7am is best. This allows your lawn to have water at its roots prior to 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 summer 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 shorter 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.
