Lawns generally are able to withstand periods of drought, however, some tips on what you can to do help your lawn are:
- Lift the cutting blades on the mower, this helps encourage deeper roots and reduces evaporation from the surface - this helps to keep its lush green appearance for longer
- Don't apply fertilser or other chemicals as this could put the lawn under stress
- Water the lawn when the heat of the sun has past, preferably in the evening this allows the lawn all evening to soak it up
- When water is available again light pricking with a fork will help water penetrate the surface
- Feed and treat your lawns well at other times of the year so that it is more resiliant to stressful conditions during the summer
