Keeping a lawn looking its best all year long is not hard if you focus on keeping it well maintained. There is a lot more to caring for grass than putting water on it. It is very important that you learn how to properly care for your lawn to keep it looking healthy.
How to Care for Grass
Watering: Water is critical to the health of a lawn. The average lawn requires approximately one to two inches of water per week to thrive.
Fertilizing: Two to four fertilizer applications should be applied throughout the year. It is very important to choose the right formulation for the type of grass you have. You can find this information by reading the label on the fertilizer.
Mowing the Lawn: Grass should be mowed on a weekly basis during the spring and summer months. Never cut more than 1/3 of the grass blade at a time.
Weed Control: If pulling weeds by hand be sure to pull the plant, root and runner. For severe weed infestation, spray a chemical application on the lawn.
