🌱 August Lawn Tips for the Willamette Valley 🌱
August's warm, dry days can put stress on your lawn, but a little maintenance now will help it stay healthy through summer and prepare for a strong fall.
💧 Water deeply 2–3 mornings per week to encourage deep roots.
✂️ Mow high (3–4 inches) to shade the soil and reduce moisture loss.
🌾 Leave grass clippings on the lawn—they naturally return nutrients.
🌿 Stay ahead of weeds by pulling them before they go to seed.
🚫 Save fertilizing for September when cooler weather arrives.
🔧 Keep mower blades sharp for a clean cut and healthier grass.
The work you do now will pay off with a greener, thicker lawn this fall.
