BILLINGS — As mid-July has had consistent temperatures of over 95 degrees, it’s crucial for you to stay hydrated as well as those outside plants. And with this sweltering heat, you might be neglecting necessary care for your lawn and gardens.
When it’s in the triple digits outside, how much should you be watering your plants, and how often?
Well, experts say roughly two to three times a week.

“Proper irrigation is key for lawns. Everybody should have their sprinkler systems checked and calibrated in the spring, summer, and even in the fall, because things change,” said Keith Ahlgren.

Ahlgren, the owner of Green Magic Lawn Care Services, manages with other family members. Safe to say that if someone knows about lawn care, it’s Ahlgren.
For him, lawn care may be difficult in this hot weather, but it can also be rewarding.
“The soils aren’t the best in certain areas, but we deal with what we got here in the Billings area,” he said.
