The David's Lawn Care 5-Step Summer Solution
Premium Mulch Application
Apply 2–3 inches of our premium mulch around trees, shrubs, and garden beds. This reduces soil temperature by up to 10° F and retains moisture during July's peak heat.
Material Needed: Shredded hardwood mulch from our supply yard - covers 100 sq. ft. per cubic yard
Soil Amendment with Quality Topsoil
Improve drought resistance by top-dressing thin areas with our screened topsoil. This enhances root development and water retention capacity.
Pro Tip: Mix topsoil with compost for maximum water retention - available for pickup or delivery
Strategic Stone Placement
Use our decorative stone to create heat-absorbing barriers around sensitive plants and reduce lawn maintenance areas during peak summer stress.
Popular Choice: River rock and limestone available - reduces water needs by 40%
Professional Lawn Maintenance
Our team provides expert mowing at proper height (3+ inches), targeted fertilization, and grub control during July's critical window.

Landscaper Tip from David's Team
"Before applying any summer treatments, walk your entire property in the early morning. Check for stress patterns, dry spots, and areas where dew evaporates first. These are your priority zones. In Northwest Indiana's clay soils, focus on improving drainage in low spots and adding organic matter to compacted areas. The investment in quality materials now saves you from expensive lawn renovation in fall."

Fascinating Lawn Care Fact
Did you know that a healthy lawn can be up to 30° F cooler than asphalt and 14° F cooler than bare soil? This cooling effect isn't just about comfort—it's about creating a microclimate that protects your entire landscape investment.
In Northwest Indiana's humid continental climate, a well-maintained lawn with proper mulching and soil amendment can:
- Reduce home cooling costs by up to 25%
- Produce enough oxygen for a family of four
- Filter 27 pounds of air pollutants per year
- Absorb 1,500 gallons of rainwater annually
Local Impact: Porter County's diverse soil types make professional material selection crucial for maximizing these benefits!
