PROPER FERTILIZATION TECHNIQUES FOR A RICHER GREEN LAWN

When high temperatures and dry weather combine for prolonged periods, your turf enters a state of heat stress. This occurs when air temperatures consistently exceed 85–95°F while soil moisture drops faster than roots can absorb water. In Northern Virginia, this most often happens from late June through early September during multi-day heat waves.

The right height to cut grass directly affects how deep your roots grow, how well your lawn handles drought, and whether weeds take over. Research shows that grass maintained at proper heights develops roots 2–3 times deeper than short-mowed turf, giving it access to subsoil moisture during dry spells.
