Summer in Kansas City is knocking, and the heat is already making its presence known. At Turf Geeks, we know high temps and humidity can be tough on lawns—but with the right care, your turf can stay green, thick, and healthy all season long.
Signs Your Lawn Isn’t Ready for Summer
Not sure if your lawn is prepped for summer stress? Watch for:
Thinning or browning grass
Hard, compacted soil
Signs of disease or fungus
Persistent weeds like nutsedge or spurge
Summer Lawn Care Essentials
✅ Mow High, Mow Smart
Keep your mower set between 3.5" to 4". Taller grass shades the soil, helps retain moisture, and encourages deeper root growth—crucial during summer heatwaves. Don't Mow in the heat of the day, mow in evening or early morning. Change up those mowing patterns.
✅ Water Deep and Early
Your lawn needs about 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week. Water deeply in the early morning to reduce evaporation and avoid fungal issues.
✅ Summer Weed Control
Turf Geeks’ Summer Application targets aggressive summer weeds like nutsedge and spurge. Every lawn gets a custom treatment based on what it needs most—some may get light fertilizer with weed control, others weed control only.
✅ Watch for Fungus
Kansas City humidity + heat = prime conditions for lawn fungus. If you notice patches or unusual spots, let us know. We’re trained to identify and treat lawn diseases fast.
