Tall fescue might be tough, but August is still a survival month. With 2 inches of morning watering, pest vigilance, low-nitrogen fertilizer, and smart mowing practices, I keep my lawn steady through the heat. Once September arrives, tall fescue naturally bounces back, ready to green up and grow thick again.

A fried lawn in August doesn’t have to be a lost cause. With deep watering, gentle mowing, heatwave lawn recovery practices, and pest checks, you can bring even the most stressed grass back to life. Follow these August lawn care tips, and your yard will thank you with greener, thicker growth come September.
