Tip #1 -- Don't Misapply FertilizerFertilizing is one of the best lawn maintenance choices you can make. But misapply it, and things turn ugly. The nitrogen in fertilizer can burn your lawn, and when temperatures soar, the likelihood of burning goes up. To prevent damage, go for a slow-release fertilizer with a lower nitrogen content than usual and follow the directions carefully.

Tip #2 -- Do Water Your LawnOne of the most common summer lawn care pitfalls is inadequate watering. You may be watering your lawn like normal, but the evaporation that results from the heat means that less of that water is getting to your lawn's roots. Water until the moisture gets about six inches into the soil, and consider increasing the number of times per week you turn on the sprinklers.

Tip #3 -- Don't Slip and SlideIf your kids are just dying for a Slip and Slide, giving one to the neighbors is the way to go. Your lawn has done nothing but provide you with a soft green all-purpose summer surface. Don't even think about smothering it with plastic it in return.
