Continue mowing regularly and watering as necessary. Continue to mulch if the weather is dry. Fill any cracks caused by drought with a mixture of sharp sand and soil. Hedges will have been growing for some months now and may need a trim to keep them neat and tidy. A final job for late summer is spread a mixture of peat, sand and loam on your lawn to promote vigorous growth.
