What Detroit lawns need in July

July is when small lawn problems become visible fast: heat stress, mower-height mistakes, crabgrass, dry edges along concrete, and weak spots near shade lines. Ley’s Lawn Care recommends checking lawns after hot stretches instead of waiting until fall cleanup season.

Quick homeowner checklist

• Look for footprints that stay pressed into turf.
• Check sprinkler coverage near sidewalks, driveways, and curb strips.
• Watch for weeds in thin turf and along bed edges.
• Avoid cutting too short during heat waves.
• Photograph problem spots before requesting a quote.
