Water Your Lawn Deeply in the Morning Once or Twice a Week
Your lawn needs 1 to 1.5 inches of water each week, including rainfall. If you water the lawn, water deeply rather than daily, so that roots can receive enough water. Always water in the early morning, ideally before 9 a.m., to avoid evaporation.
Leave Grass Clippings During the Hot Summer Months
Leaving, instead of bagging, grass clippings when your grass is mowed in the summer can help the lawn retain moisture and nutrients. Grass clippings work like mulch, they protect the soil and the grass from root to leaf.
Let Grass Grow Taller in August
Protecting the soil and roots is the main goal during extreme heat. If you can maintain the roots, you’ll have a better chance at getting the plant to regrow when the weather cools. Allow your grass to grow up to four inches during summer to help shade the soil and retain moisture.
