While warmer temperatures offer more opportunities to enjoy our green spaces with friends and family, they can strain your lush green lawn, leading to dry patches.
Here’s how you can help your lawn thrive in the heat:
-
Watering
Instead of watering your lawn lightly every day, it’s more effective to water deeply and less often. This method encourages grass roots to grow deeper into the soil. As a result, your lawn becomes more robust and better able to access water and nutrients from deeper layers.
A lawn with deep roots withstands drought and other environmental stresses more effectively since it can tap into moisture reserves unavailable to shallow-rooted plants.
For the best results, water early in the morning or in the evening when temperatures are cooler. To keep your lawn adequately hydrated, aim to provide 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week. This total includes both natural rainfall and any additional watering you might do.
-
Lawn hydration
Proper hydration is essential for the grass to grow strong and healthy. Water helps grass absorb nutrients from the soil, which are necessary for robust root development and lush, green blades.
Our aqua boost treatment, new for 2024, is the perfect solution to help your lawn recover from dry patches and thrive.
This treatment will support your lawn with absorbing water and staying hydrated right down to the roots. So you can say goodbye to those dry patches and return your lawn to a vibrant green for you to enjoy.

Lawn aeration
To maximise the benefits of aqua boost, we recommend applying it right after a lawn aeration treatment.
Lawn aeration creates tiny holes that allow air and water to reach the grass roots. We then apply our specialist wetting agent, Aqua Boost, which locks in moisture at ground level and builds protection against drought.
Opting for aqua boost along with a lawn aeration treatment now will help set your lawn up for the dry heat of summer meaning it will stay greener for longer
