Looking After Your Lawn This June
Water your lawn during hot weather, particularly newly seeded or turfed lawns. Keep new lawns well-watered.
Feed your lawn with a special lawn fertiliser to encourage healthy green growth.
Recut lawn edges, or install lawn edging to make future maintenance easier.
If there hasn’t been much rain, raise your lawn mower blades to reduce stress on the grass.
Mow lawns at least once a week. You could consider leaving some areas uncut for wildlife.
