Keeping your Chesapeake lawn strong through peak summer
July and August are the toughest stretch of the year on Hampton Roads lawns, with heat, humidity, and afternoon storms hitting all at once. Here is what to focus on between visits from your ALM technician to keep your grass healthy.
-
Water early and deep
Give your lawn 1 to 1.5 inches of water a week across 2 or 3 mornings, finishing before 10am so the blades dry out by night.
-
Mow high
Raise the deck and never cut more than a third of the blade at once. Taller grass shades its own roots and holds moisture.
-
Watch for brown patch
Humid summers bring fungus. If you spot circular tan patches that stay damp, point them out to your technician on the next visit.
-
Do not fight dormancy
If grass without irrigation browns during a heat wave, it is resting, not dying. Hold off on extra fertilizer until the weather cools.
Fall aeration and overseeding opens in September, the single best move for next year's lawn.

Proven Fertilizers for Optimal Growth
Proper lawn fertilization makes all the difference between struggling grass and a thriving yard. The right nutrients at the right time help your grass develop strong roots and resist common problems. In Virginia, our unique soil conditions and seasonal changes create specific challenges for maintaining healthy turf.
Most yards need a balanced approach that addresses your specific soil makeup and grass type. When your lawn gets exactly what it needs, you'll spend less time fighting problems and more time enjoying your outdoor space.
Your yard communicates its nutrient needs through visible signs. Learning to recognize these signals helps you address problems before they become serious. Many homeowners miss these early warnings and end up with more extensive yard problems that take longer to correct.
Watch for these nutrient deficiency indicators:
- Yellow or pale grass instead of deep green
- Thin patches or uneven growth across your yard
- Shallow root systems that pull up easily
- Slow recovery after mowing or foot traffic
- Increased weed invasion in weak areas
- Poor response to regular watering
Smart Seasonal Timing Matters
The grass in your yard has different needs throughout the year. Applying the wrong fertilizer at the wrong time wastes money and can actually damage your turf. Many grass problems stem from well-intentioned but poorly timed yard care practices.
Professional soil testing reveals exactly what your lawn needs for optimal health based on your specific soil composition and grass type. This targeted approach to lawn care maintenance ensures your yard gets precisely what it needs without wasteful overapplication or harmful chemical imbalances. A customized fertilization schedule aligned with local growing conditions provides consistent results that build year after year.
Let the experts here at ALM take the guesswork out of your lawn care with scientifically-based solutions that save you time while delivering better results.
