• Fertilize your lawn in the fall based on the soil sample results and follow the University of Maryland’s recommendations.
• Mow the lawn tall, 3-4 inches. Taller grass shades the soil better, preserving natural moisture and inhibiting weed germination.
• Leave the clippings on the lawn, they create organic matter. Organic matter absorbs and retains moisture in the soil like a sponge.
• Keep the lawnmower blade sharp. This cuts the blades of grass clean instead of ragged, reducing moisture loss after mowing.
• Over-seed in September with drought-tolerant grass seed. • And finally, don’t use pesticides. They kill the worms that aerate and fertilize the soil.
