A beautifully manicured lawn in the summer invites everyone to walk barefoot on the grass to enjoy the garden to the fullest. It’s important to take care of your lawn properly so that you can turn your dream of a lush, green, carpet-like lawn into a reality.

Watering and mowing are a vital part of lawn care. No matter how large or small, every lawn needs watering on a regular basis. Luckily GARDENA offers all the necessary tools to refresh and revive your lawn that will save you having to walk through your entire garden every day. The sprinkler models Tango, Samba, Mambo and Twist will have you dancing on your lawn throughout the summer. Simply connect the hose to the tap, unwind the hose and position the sprinkler in the middle of your lawn. Adjust the water flow, range and radius and let the sprinkler dance to its heart's content. If you want to make life even easier for yourself, then connect a water timer, such as the starter model WT 1030. You decide when and for how long it rains on your lawn and without even having to walk over to the tap.

In addition to watering, mowing your lawn is also an important aspect of good lawn care during the summer months. You should mow your lawn once a week during the time between May and August when the grass grows very quickly. The optimum cutting height is 3 to 4 cm in shaded areas and 4 to 5 cm in sunny places. Gardeners can adjust the cutting height to the exact height and also mulch their lawn with the GARDENA Hattrick Mulch-Cut. This multitalented lawnmower ensures a precise and clean cut. It compresses the grass cuttings in the grass catcher (when not mulching), which ensures that the grass cuttings are decomposed more quickly. We recommend mulching regularly in the summer to reduce the growth of weeds, to preserve soil moisture and deliver nutrients to your lawn. The Hattrick Mulch-Cut also has a selectable aerator. Its steel prongs slit the ground slightly so that a sufficient amount of oxygen always reaches the roots of the grass.

It is also important to fertilise your lawn once during the hot months of the year. Instead of applying the fertiliser by hand, it's better to use a GARDENA Spreader. The universal spreaders are not only ideal for fertilising they can also be used in the winter for distributing salt, sand or grit, and for sowing new lawn seeds in the summer.
