June is here, and summer is well underway! Your lawn is likely in full growth mode now, and with the warmer weather, it's essential to stay on top of your lawn care routine to keep it green and healthy.
Whether you're managing your lawn with your trusty ATCO mower or considering an upgrade, June is the perfect time to ensure your garden stays in peak condition throughout the hotter months.
As temperatures rise in June, it's important to mow your lawn regularly to keep it tidy, but make sure you’re not cutting it too short.
Set your ATCO mower blades higher, around 5 to 7 cm, to help your grass retain moisture during the heat.
Longer grass provides shade for the roots and reduces evaporation, helping to keep your lawn looking lush.
Pro Tip:
Mow early in the morning or later in the evening to avoid cutting during the hottest part of the day, which can stress the grass.
During the warmer months, your lawn will need more water to stay healthy.
However, it’s better to water deeply and less frequently than to water lightly every day. Aim for around 2.5 cm of water once or twice a week.
Deep watering encourages deep root growth, making your grass more drought-resistant and better able to handle the heat.
Water early in the morning when the air is cooler to reduce evaporation and ensure the grass gets the moisture it needs. Avoid watering in the evening, as this can lead to fungal growth.
Weeds and pests can thrive in the summer heat, so it’s important to stay vigilant.
Keep an eye out for common summer weeds like clover, dandelions, and nettles, and treat them promptly with a selective weed killer.
If you notice pests like grubs or ants causing trouble, act fast to protect your lawn.
Summer lawn care involves feeding your lawn with a fertiliser that’s rich in potassium and phosphorus.
These nutrients help your lawn endure the heat, maintain its green colour, and strengthen its roots.
Choose a slow-release fertiliser to provide ongoing nourishment throughout the summer months.
If your mower isn’t keeping up with your growing lawn or you’re finding it a struggle to get that clean, sharp cut, June is a great time to upgrade to a new ATCO lawnmower.
ATCO offers a range of mowers that are perfect for tackling the demands of summer mowing, whether you have a small garden or a larger space.
With precision cutting, powerful engines, and durable designs, an ATCO mower will help keep your lawn looking its best throughout the summer.
Visit your local ATCO dealer or check out our lawnmower deals here to discover the perfect mower for your needs.
If you haven’t already, it’s a good idea to service your ATCO mower in preparation for the busy mowing season.
A serviced mower performs better, is more efficient, and will last longer. Make sure your mower’s blades are sharp, the engine is in good condition, and everything is running smoothly.
Book your service with an authorised ATCO service dealer to ensure your mower is in top shape for the rest of the summer.
If the weather is dry, avoid mowing on long, hot afternoons when your lawn is stressed.
Mow only when the grass is dry and healthy, and always keep the blades high to prevent burning your grass.
With these June lawn care tips, your lawn will be in great shape for the summer months.
With the help of your ATCO mower and a bit of regular care, you’ll have a beautiful, healthy lawn to enjoy all season long.
