 Dan Sandor, an assistant professor of turfgrass science at Virginia Tech, says be careful with foot traffic and heavy equipment, including mowers, and make sure you don't overwater. Watering every day could cause some disease problems later down the road. Instead, water early in the morning two to three times a week. And he says even if your grass shows drought stress, it will recover. Once we get some cooler temperatures and some rainfall, it'll bounce right back.
