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.

Heat stress happens when grass can't keep up with the heat and lack of moisture. It's like your lawn is overheating and drying out at the same time. Combine high temperatures with dry soil, and you’ve got a recipe for yellowing, wilting, and thinning turf.

Taking care of your lawn in July is all about smart, consistent care. Focus on deep watering, light feeding, careful mowing, and keeping pests and weeds under control. With a little attention now, your lawn can stay lush and healthy—even when the temps soar.
