**Lawn Care Tip of the Month – Woodland, July 2025**: July in Woodland brings hot, dry conditions, making deep watering a critical part of lawn care. Water your lawn early in the morning—between 4 AM and 8 AM—to reduce evaporation and prevent fungal growth. Focus on providing 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week, preferably in two deep sessions to encourage deep root development. Keep your mower blades sharp and raise the mowing height to 3-4 inches to help shade the soil and conserve moisture. Avoid fertilizing during extreme heat, and instead, consider applying a slow-release formula at the end of the month if temperatures begin to cool. A well-hydrated and properly mowed lawn will withstand the summer stress far better, keeping your turf lush well into August. *(Updated: July 2025)*
