Water Early In The Morning:<\/strong>
This will help to avoid excessive evaporation. Watering in the evening or night causes lawns to stay wet and encourages disease development. Water only when it hasn\u2019t rained for 7 days. To maintain a green lawn in cool or warm weather, your lawn needs 1\u2033 of water per week. In hot, dry and windy weather, it will need 1 to 2\u2033 of water per week. Most sprinklers produce between 1\/4 inch and 3\/8 inches of water per hour, or 2 to 4\u2033 per week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mow Frequently & Leave Grass Clippings On The Lawn:<\/strong>
This adds food and moisture and discourages weed encroachment. Cut no more than an inch off the height each mowing, and leave grass height 2 1\/2 inches to 3 1\/2 inches long. If clippings exceed 6\u2033 in length, rake them up and mix them into compost, or take them to a drop off site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have Your Soil Tested:<\/strong>
Get your soil tested to determine what lawn management practices you need. A test will tell you the type, amount and frequency needed to fertilize for a healthy lawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fertilize Properly:<\/strong>
Getting the results from a soil test will help you determine how to fertilize. Use only the amount called for, based on your lawn\u2019s square footage. Spread fertilizer in two directions for each application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garden & Landscape:<\/strong>
Healthy plants in a garden or landscape create less waste and need less chemicals and water. The types and locations of trees in your yard can reduce heating & cooling costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Know Your Weeds:<\/strong>
Weeds can tell you something about what\u2019s wrong with your lawn. Take time to identify your weeds and treat them appropriately to strengthen and improve your lawn. A weed free lawn is not necessarily a healthy one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dandelions<\/strong> \u2013 may indicate that the grass is too thin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
