By mid-August, Greater Victoria lawns can be looking a little tired after weeks of heat and dry weather.
The good news is that late summer is a great time to start thinking about recovery.
A few things that can help:
Keep watering deeply rather than frequently.
Avoid cutting your lawn too short during hot, dry periods.
Look for thin or damaged areas that may need soil, seed or turf repair.
Start planning ahead for fall lawn improvements while growing conditions are still favourable.
