If your lawn is experiencing heat and drought stress, water deeply and more frequently than you normally would. If you live in a more northern region of North America, this might mean watering about 3 to 4 times a week. If you live in a more southern region, with hotter weather and less rain, you might need to water every other day to help your lawn green up again. The ideal time to water your lawn is early in the morning, between 5 and 9 am, when temperatures are cooler and the water will not evaporate. Ask your local W**d Man professional for specific watering tips that suit the conditions of your lawn and your geographic location.

Drought Stress Drought stress can cause your grass to turn brown and dormant, while also making it more susceptible to pests and disease.

Throughout the summer, it's important to be on the lookout for signs of heat and drought stress in your lawn. Heat and drought stress occurs when your lawn experiences a significant loss of moisture during consistently hot, dry weather. It’s not always a simple diagnosis, but there are a few common indicators that your grass may be experiencing heat and drought stress.

Summer weather is finally here! While it's great for our summer BBQs, it's not so great for our lawns, which can quickly become drought-stricken or develop a common lawn disease called leaf blight. If you find yourself wondering why your lawn appears burnt, leaf blight may be the culprit. Read more about leaf blight, and avoid mowing while lawn disease is active to prevent further spread. If you do mow, make sure your blades are razor-sharp.

Leaf Blight The symptoms of Leaf Blight include elongated, water-soaked lesions on the leaves, which eventually turn yellow or brown and can even cause the leaves to die.

Chalk it up to fun. An inexpensive box of colored chalk can keep the kids busy for hours. Have younger kids draw pictures on the sidewalk or driveway. For older children, try a game of Tic Tac Toe or hopscotch. To get started, simply draw a pattern with eight squares. Players can then toss a marker (try a stone or button) onto one of the squares and hop over it on one foot.

Grassy w**ds, like crabgrass, are characterized by slender leaves that resemble turfgrass. They look and behave differently than the other common w**d varieties, broadleaf w**ds, and sedges, which means that the methods used to control them will differ as well. Today, we’re taking a closer look at grassy w**ds – and what to do about them!

Summer patch is a difficult-to-control lawn disease that affects cool-season grasses, such as Kentucky Bluegrass, Tall Fescue, and Fine Fescue. As the name suggests, it typically occurs during the hot and humid summer months, particularly in areas with poor soil drainage or heavy thatch buildup. Symptoms include yellowing and browning grass with patches of dead or dying turf. These patches may be circular or irregular in shape and can range in size from a few inches to several feet in diameter.

Have you tired creating an outdoor canvas? Hang an old sheet on a clothesline or tape paper to a fence for your budding artist to paint on. Encourage them to try painting with different kinds of brushes, says Penny Warner, author of Kids’ Outdoor Parties (Meadowbrook Press). “Try dipping grass into paint and swishing it on paper, then try painting with a leaf or a twig. The kids can also try painting rocks and creating people or bugs with them.”

Have you tried out "grasscycling" in your regular mowing routine? Grasscycling is the environmentally beneficial practice of returning grass clippings to a lawn. By leaving the clippings to decompose on your lawn, you’re adding valuable nutrients back into the soil, so you only need to remove clippings from your lawn if they are excessively long and will smother the grass.
