**Lawn Care Tip of the Month – Richmond, VA (June 2025):** June is the perfect time to give your Richmond lawn a boost as summer heat sets in. Mow your grass to a height of about 3 to 4 inches to promote deep root growth and shade out weeds. Water deeply in the early morning—around 1 to 1.5 inches per week—to prevent evaporation and fungal issues. This month is also critical for fertilization if you didn’t apply a late-spring treatment; use a slow-release fertilizer suited to your grass type (like tall fescue or Bermuda grass common in Central Virginia). Stay on top of weed control and consider applying a grub preventative to keep your lawn lush and pest-free through the hotter months.
