Water your garden!
If we are lucky enough to experience a hot summer it’s important to water your grass. Hot and dry weather can cause your grass to go brown, which will affect both the appearance and strength of your lawn. But, be careful not to overwater; a soaked lawn can also weaken your grass.
Rising temperatures can also take its toll on your plants, so don’t forget to keep them hydrated too.
Make good use of your lawn mower.
In the summer it is vital that you are mowing your lawn very regularly. Warm weather are the ideal conditions to help your grass grow so it’s likely you will be using your lawn mower twice a week in the peak of summer.

Feed your grass and keep it green.
The warmth of summer will help your grass grow quicker than usual, which is great for getting rid of bare patches, but quick growing grass also uses more of the nutrients found in your soil. Lawn feeds are available to put nourishment and colour back in your grass, ensuring your grass does not lose its green sheen.
