Get ready for the Toro Summer of Stripes!
This post is sponsored by Toro.
With summer just around the corner, it’s time to start preparing your lawn for the warmer weather ahead. A lush, healthy lawn not only looks great, but it also helps to keep your home cool and can even reduce your energy bills. Here are some tips to get your lawn ready for summer:
Clean up your lawn:
Before you start any maintenance work on your lawn, it’s important to clean up any debris, such as sticks, leaves, and other organic matter. This will help to prevent the buildup of thatch, which can prevent water and nutrients from reaching the roots of your grass. A leaf blower is a great product to have on hand and makes cleanup a literal “breeze!”
Mow your lawn with Toro:
Once you’ve cleaned up your lawn, it’s time to mow. And nothing screams “curb appeal” like a beautifully striped lawn. If you’ve never made lawn stripes before, Toro has you covered. Their 60V Max Stripe Mower has a built-in striping bar that makes you look like a lawn mowing pro!

Water your lawn:
With summer comes warmer weather, and your lawn will need more water to stay healthy. It’s important to water your lawn deeply and infrequently, rather than frequently and shallowly. This will encourage deep root growth and will help to prevent the buildup of thatch.
Fertilize your lawn:
Fertilizing your lawn will help to provide the nutrients it needs to stay healthy and green. Choose a fertilizer that is appropriate for your grass type and apply it according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Control weeds:
Weeds can quickly take over your lawn, so it’s important to control them early on. Hand pulling or using a weed killer can be effective, but be sure to choose a product that is safe for your grass type and follow the instructions carefully.
Aerate your lawn:
Aerating your lawn can help to loosen compacted soil, which can improve water and nutrient absorption. This is especially important if your lawn sees a lot of foot traffic or if it is prone to thatch buildup.
Summer is the perfect time to entertain outdoors whether you’re hosting an outdoor BBQ or just enjoying S’mores with friends. And thanks to our friends at Toro, backyard prep is a breeze with their lineup of 60V MAX battery-powered products like their Max Stripe Mower and String Trimmer.
By following these tips, you can get your lawn ready for summer and ensure that it stays healthy and green throughout the season. With a little bit of maintenance work, you can create a beautiful outdoor space that you and your family can enjoy all summer long.
