lawncare tips
Mow for height and health
Always follow the best practices for lawn care mowing, and mow based on grass growth. Mowing heights vary according on grass type and the season. Some grasses, such as Bermuda grass, are best kept short, while other types need more height. Hot spells warrant higher mowing heights all around.
Changing mowing heights gradually over several sessions. Never remove more than one-third of the blade length at a time, or you risk inhibiting good growth above and below ground. Make tasks easier and less time-consuming by using the right turf tools for the job. To make it simple, mow your lawn at a higher setting in the summer and when fall approaches, you can mow shorter.
Manage water wisely
Lawn grasses grow best when watered deeply at less frequent levels. Shallow watering encourages shallow roots susceptible to drought and stress. Watering your lawn varies from month to month through the season, but you should always accommodate with what's happening in your lawn. In summer it is best to water in the early morning or late evening once the sun has gone down to avoid stressing the grass.
