It’s officially summer and you can definitely feel it in the Kansas City area.

At SK Lawn and Landscape, we are constantly making adjustments to our services depending on the season because we understand the fundamental lawn care principles that deliver flawless looking lawns no matter what season it is but summer can sometimes be a bit tricky.
Local Lawn Care and Landscaping Companies in Kansas City, MO
During the summer months, your grass is still growing (unless of course it has issues) but the lawn care teams at SK don’t just go through the motions when mowing your lawn like many lawn and landscaping companies. Making sure our mower blades are sharpened regularly will ensure a clean consistent cut as opposed to tearing through your grass blades which can put unnecessary stress on grass especially when it’s hot and dry. Also making sure we aren’t mowing your lawn too short will ensure it continues to grow throughout the summer and mulching the grass clippings will help with keeping moisture in check. Speaking of moisture, watering is a big part of making sure your lawn looks its best in the summer months as more often than not in the Kansas City area, we see numerous dry spells where rain is scarce. When combined with the oppressive heat, the sun beating down and lack of water, it can leave your lawn looking brown and scorched.
Most lawns need an inch to an inch and a half of water per week to continue to grow thick, green and consistently but as we all know mother nature rarely delivers exact amounts of rain which means you’ll probably need to water your lawn at some point during the summer. The key to effectively watering your lawn is to water deeply and infrequently. The best time to water your lawn is early in the morning so that you avoid quick evaporation from the sun which allows your grass and soil to retain more water. Keeping our customers’ lawns looking their best all summer long and in any season for that matter is what we do at SK Lawn and Landscape.
