How does a heatwave affect your lawn

July 27, 2026

Your lawn is an investment in your property's value. Whether you own a home or manage commercial property, curb appeal directly impacts perception and property value.



Regular professional lawn maintenance helps:


  • Maintain lush, healthy grass year-round.
  • Improve curb appeal.
  • Increase property value.
  • Extend the life of your landscaping.
  • Protect previous investments in sod, irrigation, and landscaping.


Rather than spending money fixing neglected lawns, a subscription helps maximize the return on every dollar you've already invested.

Convenience That Saves Time

Scheduling individual lawn services throughout the year can be time-consuming. Subscription plans eliminate the need to remember appointments or search for available contractors every few weeks.



Your provider simply arrives on schedule to perform the services included in your plan, allowing you to focus on your home, family, customers, or business operations.

Benefits for Businesses

Commercial properties depend heavily on appearance. Customers often form opinions before they ever walk through the door.


A lawn care subscription helps businesses:


  • Maintain a professional image.
  • Impress customers and visitors.
  • Improve employee satisfaction.
  • Keep landscaping consistent across all seasons.
  • Eliminate the need to manage multiple service appointments.


For businesses, dependable lawn maintenance is an investment in brand image as much as property maintenance.

A heatwave can stress your lawn even if you're watering it. The combination of high temperatures, intense sun, and little rainfall affects both the grass blades and the roots.

Here are the most common effects:

  • Browning: Grass often turns brown or straw-colored as it goes dormant to conserve water. Dormant grass isn't necessarily dead—it may recover when temperatures cool and moisture returns.


  • Slower growth: Heat causes grass to stop growing as quickly, so you may notice you don't need to mow as often.


  • Shallow roots: Frequent, light watering encourages shallow roots, making the lawn less able to withstand extreme heat.


  • Thinning grass: Prolonged heat and drought can kill patches of grass, creating thin areas where weeds are more likely to grow.



  • Footprint damage: If footprints remain visible after walking across the lawn, it's a sign the grass is drought-stressed and lacking moisture.

How to protect your lawn during a heatwave

  • Water deeply and infrequently, aiming for about 1 to 1½ inches of water per week, including rainfall.


  • Water early in the morning (between 4 a.m. and 9 a.m.) to reduce evaporation.


  • Raise your mower height to 3½–4 inches for most warm-season grasses, which helps shade the soil and retain moisture.


  • Avoid fertilizing during extreme heat, as it can increase stress.



  • Limit foot traffic on drought-stressed grass.
