What is the best way to care for new grass in 90 degree weather?

Here are some tips for caring for new grass in extremely warm weather:

1. Water deeply and frequently. New grass needs to be watered deeply and frequently to encourage deep root growth. Water the lawn for at least 15 minutes, 3-4 times per week.

2. Mow at a high height. Cut your grass at a high height of 3-4 inches. This will help to reduce stress and prevent the grass from drying out.

3. Fertilize at the right time Feed new grass with a starter fertilizer about 6 weeks after planting. Avoid fertilizing your lawn during the hottest part of the day, as this can cause damage to the grass.

4. Aerate your lawn. Aeration helps to improve drainage, circulation, and root growth. Aerate your lawn every 6-8 weeks, especially if the soil is compacted.

5. Protect the lawn from pests and diseases. Insects and diseases can easily damage new grass. Treat your lawn with pesticides and fungicides as needed to prevent problems.

6. Don't overseed. Overseeding can stress new grass and make it more susceptible to drought damage. Wait until the grass is established before overseeding.

7. Reduce foot traffic. Foot traffic can damage new grass, especially when the soil is hot and dry. Keep foot traffic to a minimum, and avoid walking on the lawn when it's wet.
