Is Your Lawn Ready for Summer? Top Pre-Season Tips for West Sussex Gardens

Summer in West Sussex brings sunshine, longer days – and the risk of dry, stressed lawns. If you’re in Chichester, Arundel, or Emsworth, now is the perfect time to prepare your grass before the summer heat kicks in.

Top Summer Prep Tips:

– Feed your lawn with a slow-release summer fertiliser

– Mow regularly but avoid cutting too short

– Treat any moss or weeds left over from spring

– Check for signs of compaction—consider aeration if needed

– Water early in the morning or late in the evening during dry spells

Pro Tip:

Raising your mower blade during summer helps prevent the grass from scorching and reduces moisture loss.
