The Mat-Su Valley has received only about 0.10 inches of rainfall so far this month, and temperatures are expected to climb this weekend, starting 6/18/26.
If you want to protect your lawn from heat and drought stress, now is the time to water deeply. Most established lawns need about 1 to 1½ inches of water per week, including rainfall.
Also, resist the urge to mow too short. Keeping your lawn at 3 inches or taller helps shade the soil, reduces moisture loss, and encourages deeper root growth.
A little extra water and a higher mowing height now can make a big difference in how your lawn handles the warmer weather ahead.
🌱 Healthy lawns start from the ground up.
