Summer Lawn Care in Walddorfhäslach – Irrigation, Cutting, Moss Prevention

In summer, lawns are exposed to special stresses: heat, drought, and intensive use can take their toll. With the right care measures, you can ensure that your lawn in Walddorfhäslach remains dense, green, and healthy.

1. Proper Irrigation

Water the lawn thoroughly 1–2 times a week. The early morning or late evening hours are ideal to reduce evaporation. Avoid short, frequent watering intervals, as this does not promote root depth.

2. Adjust Cutting Length

Set the cutting length to 4–5 cm. Longer grass provides shade for the roots and helps retain moisture. This way, the lawn will better withstand the hot summer months.

3. Prevent Moss Growth

Regular mowing, aeration, and overseeding in sparse areas reduce moss growth. Compacted soil should be loosened if necessary, e.g., with a lawn rake or aeration tools.

4. Optimize Robotic Mower Usage

Check the blades for sharpness and function, especially with frequent use in summer. Wet grass should be avoided, as it strains the equipment and results in an uneven cut.
