During July it is best to use a low content fertilizer. The heat during this time of year will burn and kill the grass. Fertilizers are best used in cooler periods such as april or may.

Because the growth rate of turf decreases in the summer months lawns do not need as much nitrogen for growth. A good fertilizer would be between 15 to 19 nitrogen No phosphorus is needed and 3 to 5 potash. The best thing for summer lawn care is to raise up you mower blade and keep watered every other day
