Seasonal Lawn Care Guide

Summer Lawn Care

To keep your lawn looking its best, it is important to understand what type of care it needs during different seasons. Summer months tend to be very dry with little rainfall, requiring irrigation systems that disperse water evenly throughout your yard to ensure all parts of the lawn receive enough moisture. Investing in irrigation supplies such as irrigation timers, irrigation controllers and drip irrigation systems can provide an effective and efficient way to water your lawn during dry periods.

Additionally, it is important to mow your grass on a regular basis during summer months, while also making sure not to cut it too short. Cutting grass too low can result in dead patches and a brown, heat-stressed lawn. If you are looking for landscaping services or products to help keep your lawn lush and beautiful during the summer months, Kern Turf Supply offers irrigation supplies, irrigation repair services, and various types of fertilizer designed to meet the specific needs of your lawn.

Winter Lawn Care

During the wet winter months, irrigation systems are not as necessary since rain will provide much of the moisture needed to keep your lawn healthy. However, it is still important to make sure that water is draining properly away from any paved surfaces or walkways in order to avoid puddles and pooling water that can cause damage to your lawn.

Aeration is also important during the winter months. Aerating involves punching small holes into the soil to help oxygen, water, and nutrients reach the roots of your grass. This process loosens compacted soil, allowing for better drainage and improved root growth and development. You can aerate your lawn yourself or take advantage of the landscaping services available from Kern Turf Supply, who can provide advice on irrigation systems and irrigation repair services to help keep your lawn looking beautiful during the winter.

Climate-Based Controllers

Regardless of the season, Kern Turf Supply can provide irrigation supplies and landscaping services that are tailored specifically to your lawn’s needs. Climate-based irrigation controllers are one such irrigation system that can be used to help save time, money, and water by automatically adjusting irrigation schedules based on local weather conditions. These controllers use data from nearby weather stations to determine when irrigation is required and how much water needs to be used.

Referred to as SMART controllers or ET-based controllers, these state-of-the-art devices are capable of making intelligent decisions about how much water your landscape requires. With their ability to customize the amount of output based on the San Joaquin Valley’s changing climate, you can be sure that no drop goes unused.

Kern Turf Supply also offers irrigation repair services, so you can make sure that your irrigation system is working properly all year round. Whether you are looking for irrigation supplies, landscaping products or irrigation repair services, Kern Turf Supply has the resources you need to get the lawn of your dreams.

When Should I Fertilize?

Fertilizing your lawn is an important step in any summer or winter lawn care routine. For best results, it’s recommended that you fertilize twice a year — once before the start of the growing season, and again in mid-summer. This should be done using slow-release nitrogen fertilizer and following the instructions on the packaging to ensure that the fertilizer is applied at the proper dosage.

Kern Turf Supply offers a range of fertilizers designed to meet the specific needs of your lawn and can provide advice on irrigation systems and irrigation repair services as well. A beautiful lawn is the result of combining high-quality grass seed with nourishing fertilizer.
