How do you green your lawn in the summer?

Answer 1

The single biggest reason a lawn isn't green in the summer is that people don't know how to water. Put fertilizer on a lawn that is not properly watered and you risk damaging the lawn. Water the lawn every 2-3 days to a depth of 1 inch. Put a can or glass on it when watering to see how long it takes for 1 inch the first time. It's best to water deeply several times/week rather than water everyday. Everyday light watering will keep the grass roots near the top of the soil and they'll go dormant or die in the summer. Water heavily and the roots will go deeper into the ground. Light watering also encourages weeds. In about 2 weeks your lawn should become greener. If it doesn't fertilize it and then continue watering heavily every other day or so.

Answer 2

You deffinately want to water your lawn regularly, and water it deeply each time. If you have very hot summers, Texas, Arizona etc.. then you will probably need to water more often. You also want to fertilize. If you want to have a quick green you can fertilize with a high Nitrogen fertilizer, this will give you a quick green up. But be sure to water good after you fertilize, and dont fertilize more than what the bag recommends.

Answer 3

Every other day is not always the best answer. It depends on the type of grass you have, the type of soil you have and alot of other things. I know no one want to hear this but call a local lawn care company and have them come out and give you an answer. There are just too many variables to answer with a keyboard. But an inch of water every time you water is a good idea.

summer is a very hot climate.. but still you can have green lawn by watering everyday and tream it
