Beat the Heat - Andy Bell of Handyman Matters offers some solutions for when the dog days of summer get to be too hot. One solution for distressed grass and dry patches would to be to move individual sprinklers to better address dry areas. Make sure that when you are creating a landscaping plan that you plant trees around home to block heat in summer, add ivy and other plants as barriers to stop sun and glare in window boxes and growing up trellises. Pets feel the heat too, so you can set up a dog wash in small plastic pool. Another option for keeping cool is an oscillating fan and a mister that you can attach to a hose. These can even be put on a timer.
