**Lawn Care Tip of the Month – Chicago | June 2025** June is the perfect time to give your Chicago lawn a strong start to summer with consistent mowing, deep watering, and a balanced fertilizer. As temperatures rise, aim to water your lawn early in the morning—about 1 to 1.5 inches per week—to encourage deep root growth and prevent disease. Mow regularly at a height of 3-4 inches to help shade the soil and retain moisture. Be sure to keep your mower blades sharp to reduce lawn stress and avoid brown tips. Tackle emerging weeds now with a post-emergent herbicide, and monitor for signs of pests like grubs which become active during this time. A well-maintained lawn in June sets the stage for a healthier, greener yard all summer long.
