Tips for a Healthy Lawn
- Mow high, mow often, leave clippings. Longer grass improves root development, helps cool soil surface, aids in irrigation efficiency, and allows for greater competition with weeds. Three inches or higher blade height and remove no more than 1/3 of grass blade when mowing.
- Leave clippings they do not promote thatch but do return nutrients back to soil.
- Core aeration aids in thatch control, improves water infiltration, and reduces soil compaction.
- Cool season grasses go dormant in the summer months and will require more water to maintain the desired appearance
