Dear homeowner

We hope you’re enjoying this lovely weather… but we're sure your garden isn’t!

During prolonged dry periods, we just wanted to remind you that it’s important to keep your lawns watered, especially if they are new.

The best thing to do is to invest in a hosepipe and a sprinkler to take away the strain – lawns need more water than you might imagine!  The best time to water your garden is early mornings, or at dusk when the heat has gone out of the sun.

However, there are other options that you may want to consider:

• 
  Watering Cans: £10 well spent! – Its harder work but also good exercise!
  • Reuse your bath water: If you want to be that extra little bit conscientious and green, then you can reuse your bathwater to water your lawn. Your lawn will love it, don’t worry about soap, this won’t cause any harm
  • Mowing: if your lawn is already established, you can mow the grass if it’s getting really long, but leave the clippings be. Slightly longer grass and the clippings will however shade the soil, keeping it cooler and preserving the moisture for longer
  
  We’d advise doing what you can to maintain the lawn throughout these sunny periods.

Kind Regards

Gleeson Homes.
