🌞 Hot & Dry Alert for Holmen & Surrounding Areas 🌞
We’ve had very little rain over the past few weeks, and with temperatures climbing into the upper 80s this week, many lawns are starting to show stress — thinning, turning yellow, or looking crunchy.
Your lawn is likely thirsty!
Now is the time to start watering. Cool-season grasses (like the ones we have here in Wisconsin) need about 1 inch of water per week during hot, dry spells. Deep, infrequent watering is much better than light daily sprinkles — it encourages strong, deep roots that handle heat and drought better.
Quick Tips:
Water early in the morning if possible
Water long enough for the soil to get moist 4–6 inches deep
Avoid watering in the hot afternoon sun (it wastes water)
If your lawn is already turning brown or yellow, consistent watering over the next 7–10 days can make a big difference.
Stay cool and keep those lawns hydrated! 💧🌱
