As summer approaches, homeowners are focusing on lawn care to keep grass healthy and green despite rising temperatures and drought risks. London-based Rainbow Rubbish Removals has shared six essential tips for maintaining a vibrant lawn, ahead of National Weed Your Garden Day on June 13.
Deep watering is recommended over frequent shallow watering, as it encourages deeper root growth and drought resilience. Watering early morning or late evening reduces evaporation. Soaker hoses and drip irrigation systems target the root zone, minimising water waste and fungal diseases.
Applying organic mulch like grass clippings or shredded leaves retains moisture, suppresses weeds, and enriches soil. Aerating the lawn improves drainage and root health, while setting mower blades higher allows grass to shade the soil and reduce evaporation.
For sustainable care, opt for drought-resistant grass varieties such as Bermuda, Zoysia, or tall fescue. Planting trees or shade structures can lower sun exposure and water loss. Filling bare spots with grass seed maintains dense turf and prevents soil erosion.
With councils now charging for garden waste removal, using a waste collection service can help clear debris during spring and summer. These tips aim to help homeowners achieve a lush lawn while conserving water.
