Summer: Protecting Your Lawn from Heat and Humidity

Mississippi summers are known for their extreme heat and humidity, which can stress your lawn. To help your grass survive the harsh conditions, it’s crucial to maintain proper watering practices. Water your lawn deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth, which helps the grass resist drought and heat. Early morning is the best time to water, reducing evaporation and fungal growth. Adding mulch around plants can also help retain moisture and keep the roots cool. For more tips, check out this resource from the Mississippi State University Extension.

Fall: Best Practices for Lawn Care

Fall in Mississippi is the perfect time to prepare your lawn for the colder months ahead. Start by aerating your soil to improve oxygen circulation, which promotes root growth. Overseeding with cool-season grasses can help fill in bare spots and enhance your lawn’s density. Remember to adjust your mowing height, as cutting grass too short can weaken it before winter. This article from the Lawn Institute offers more detailed guidance on fall lawn maintenance.

Winter: Preparing Your Lawn for the Cold

While Mississippi winters are milder, it’s still important to prepare your lawn for the season. Reduce watering as the growth slows down, but ensure the lawn gets at least one inch of water per month. Clearing leaves and debris regularly will prevent mold and disease, keeping the lawn healthy. It’s also a good time to sharpen your mower blades and service your lawn equipment. For more winter lawn care tips, visit Lawn Care.
