As temperatures soar past 45°C in the UAE summer, maintaining a lush green lawn can seem like an impossible task. But at Clean Deal Gardens, we’ve mastered the science of lawn care in the UAE, and we’re here to share our expert strategies to keep your turf vibrant and healthy, even in the harshest heat.
Whether you’re a homeowner in Dubai, a facility manager in Abu Dhabi, or tending to a small villa garden in Sharjah, these tips are tailored to help your green space thrive.
1. Choose the Right Heat-Resistant Grass
The foundation of a green lawn in a hot climate starts with selecting the right grass variety. At Clean Deal Gardens, we recommend Bermuda grass and Zoysia grass, known for their durability and resilience under high temperatures.
These heat-resistant grass types require less water and stay green longer, even during peak summer months.
2. Install the Best Lawn Irrigation System
Watering your lawn the right way is critical. We always tell our clients: It’s not about more water, it’s about smart watering.
-
Install a smart irrigation system that adjusts based on temperature and soil moisture.
-
Use drip irrigation or pop-up sprinklers for even water distribution.
Our lawn maintenance services in Dubai include advanced irrigation installation and repair to ensure efficient water usage.
3. Stick to an Optimal Lawn Watering Schedule
In the UAE, the best time to water your lawn is early in the morning (4–7 AM) or after sunset, when evaporation rates are lower. Avoid midday watering; it wastes water and can burn your grass.
We provide customized lawn watering schedules based on your soil and lawn type as part of our comprehensive UAE garden care packages.
4. Feed Your Lawn with the Right Nutrients
The summer sun depletes essential nutrients from your lawn. Use slow-release fertilizers that nourish the soil gradually. At Clean Deal Gardens, we use organic, pet-safe fertilizers that promote deeper root growth, helping your grass retain moisture and stay greener longer.
5. Mow Smart – Not Short
Many homeowners make the mistake of mowing their lawn too short during summer. This exposes the roots to heat stress and increases water loss. The general rule we follow is: never remove more than one-third of the grass blade at a time.
Our trained technicians use specialized equipment to ensure optimal mowing heights for all grass types.
6. Mulch Your Grass Clippings
Instead of bagging grass clippings, mulch them back into your lawn. This helps retain soil moisture and adds nutrients naturally. It’s a simple, sustainable way to enhance your lawn’s health.
7. Consider Shade Solutions
If your lawn is exposed to relentless sun, consider installing shade cloths, pergolas, or even planting shade-giving trees. These help protect sensitive lawn areas and reduce soil temperature.
8. Regular Lawn Maintenance Is Key
Keeping your lawn green is not a one-time effort. Summer lawn maintenance requires consistent attention. That’s why many UAE residents trust Clean Deal Gardens for scheduled visits, professional care, and 24/7 support.
From trimming edges to pest control, we handle it all so your lawn stays picture-perfect throughout the season.
9. Spot Early Signs of Stress
Brown patches, wilting blades, and thinning grass are early indicators of heat stress or pest issues. Our experts conduct routine lawn health inspections to catch problems before they spread.
