When dry weather hits during the summer months, managing moisture becomes an essential part of good lawn care. Nature Plus Lawn & Irrigation serves Cincinnati, OH, and the surrounding areas with top-quality lawn services, including irrigation, aeration, fertilization, and sprinkler system installation. For 25 years, this locally owned and operated company has been helping customers maintain green, lush, healthy lawns—whatever the weather.

Here are their top three tips on managing moisture during droughts:

• Maintain Your Sprinkler System: A comprehensive sprinkler system will keep every corner of your lawn moist. This is especially important in seasons with hot, dry weather or insufficient rainfall. A lawn care professional will install, extend, and fix your sprinkler system throughout your yard.
• Invest In Core Aeration: Aerating—the process of puncturing the soil of your lawn with small holes—prevents soil compaction and is essential for a healthy lawn at any time of year. When dry weather hits, it’s especially useful, because these little holes allow water, as well as nutrients, to reach grass roots more effectively. When your lawn is struggling to keep its healthy green tint under a scorching summer sun, aerating will help it get everything it needs to stay green and lush.
• Water At The Right Times: Avoid watering your lawn when the sun is at its strongest during droughts. The sun will quickly dry out your lawn anyway, taking away much-needed moisture from the grass—and wasting water in the process. Watering in the early morning or at night is the best way for your grass to retain moisture. Also, keep in mind that some states may enact regulations regarding watering lawns during droughts.
