August: Late Summer Lawn Care: Preparing for the Season Ahead

 

Monty’s Lawn Tips for August

 

1. Maintain mowing:

Keep up with regular mowing, but remember to raise the cutting height slightly if the weather is particularly dry.

 

2. Deep watering: 

Water deeply once a week if there’s no rain. Ensure the water penetrates down to the roots.

 

3. Deal with weeds:

Hand-pull any stubborn weeds that pop up.

 

4. Overseed thin patches:

Late August is a great time to overseed any bare spots. Lightly rake the area, scatter seed, and water well.

 

 

Monty’s Top Tip for August

Use a wetting agent if your lawn is struggling to absorb water—this can help it bounce back during dry spells.
