A Summer Strong Lush Lawn

Feed Your Grass the Right Way with Town & Country's Mid-Summer Blend!

Feeding your lawn in the heat of summer is kind of like handing out popsicles at a backyard BBQ—your grass will thank you, and it might even show off with that deep, envy-inducing green color. Summer is tough on turf. Between the blazing sun, flip-flop traffic, and surprise sprinkler battles, your lawn is stressed out.

A slow-release, low-nitrogen fertilizer acts like a gentle energy drink (not the jittery kind), giving your grass the nutrients it needs to stay strong, healthy, and proud enough to make the neighbor's lawn look like it needs a nap.

But here's the catch—feeding your lawn the wrong way in summer is like offering hot chili at a sauna party. A bad idea! DANGER: High-nitrogen quick-release fertilizers in this scorching weather can burn your lawn very quickly.

Tips:

  • Use Town & Country Gardens Mid-Season Blend of fertilizer. The nitrogen has a special coating that will release it very slowly.

  • Water your lawn well before and after you apply the lawn food.

  • Apply it during the cooler parts of the day.

  • It's also a good idea to raise that lawn mower blade up so after you mow you're leaving 2 ½ to 3" of grass. This will help shade the roots of your grass as well as encouraging deep root growth.
