Tip 1

Mow a little higher

Longer grass shades its roots and holds moisture better in the heat.

Tip 2

Water early

Watering in the early morning means less is lost to evaporation and wind.

Tip 3

Water deeply, less often

Fewer, longer waterings encourage deep roots that handle dry spells.

Tip 4

Check the sprinklers

Make sure heads are spraying the lawn, not the sidewalk.
