Do THIS Before Summer Hits or Your Lawn Will Struggle | Lawn Watering Playbook
If your lawn looks great in spring but always falls apart once summer heat shows up, you’re probably missing the most important prep window of the year.
In this episode of The Grass Guys Podcast, we’re breaking down what homeowners need to do before summer hits to help cool season lawns survive heat, drought, humidity, and stress. Late spring is your last real chance to build deeper roots, improve water efficiency, adjust your mowing strategy, and avoid the mistakes that make lawns struggle in July.
We cover why summer is survival mode for cool season grasses like turf-type tall fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, and perennial ryegrass, plus how to water smarter, mow higher, choose better seed, and stop pushing your lawn too hard right before the heat arrives.
In this episode, we cover:
• Why late spring is the key window before summer stress
• How to train your lawn to grow deeper roots
• Why watering every day can actually hurt your lawn
• How much water your lawn really needs each week
• The best time of day to water
• How to calibrate your sprinklers with the tuna can challenge
• What Hydretain does and does not do
• Which cool season grass types handle summer best
• Why cheap grass seed can cost you later
• How TWCA-certified grass seed can help reduce water needs
• Why mowing height matters before summer
• How to fertilize without pushing too much growth
• The biggest summer lawn care mistakes to avoid
If you do nothing else before summer, fix your watering and raise your mowing height. Those two things alone can make a massive difference in how your lawn handles heat.
The lawns that look the best in July were prepared in May.

The Andersons New Lawn Starter 20-27-5
The Andersons New Lawn Starter is formulated to develop strong and healthy root systems. This formula contains three types of nitrogen - fast, intermediate and slow reacting to give quick response and then steady feeding of nitrogen that promotes top growth of the grass and produces the deep green color. Phosphate is essential in the development of deep, strong roots. Potash thickens the wall structure of the grass and makes the grass more vigorous. Sulfur helps maintain the dark green color of your grass and encourages more vigorous plant and root growth. Iron prevents yellowing by aiding the development of chlorophyll in the grass. For northern turf, fall is the ideal time to seed because of less weed competition, ideal soil temperature and moisture. For new lawn seed or sod, apply at the recommended rate. Work into soil 2- 3 inches deep, before spreading seed or laying sod. Keep soil moist until seeds germinate. Do not allow soil to dry out.
The Andersons Deep Green 24-0-11
The Andersons Deep Green 24-0-11 is a professional-grade lawn fertilizer designed to feed your lawn while also deepening and intensifying its color. Deep Green 24-0-11 is formulated with 2% iron and manganese, which helps turf utilize nitrogen and create chlorophyll. It is safe for use on all turf types and can be applied any time during the growing season but is especially beneficial in the summer when lawns tend to turn yellow as a result of stress. Deep Green 24-0-11 contains slow release nitrogen for uniform growth and extended feeding for 6 to 8 weeks.
