How to ensure lawn thrives in summer?

ameliam

My lawn seems to thrive in winter and just die off in summer

everything i try seems to fail whether it’s applying soil wetter for the summer months or aerating the lawn nothing seems to work.
everything i find online talks about lawns coming alive in summer and going dormant in winter so theres no help there

what should i try ?

Hello @ameliam

Thank you for sharing your question about your lawn. That is a bit concerning if the reverse happens with your lawn, it should be thriving this summer. Can you please tell us what you've been applying to your lawn? What have you been using to fertilize it with? Have you been topping up the soil? When have you been applying the fertilizer? How often do you water the lawn? Any other information you can tell us about your lawn care habits will be very much appreciated.

I also suggest having a look at this discussion - Lawn renovation by @homeinmelbourne
