Weed Control:

Tackle weeds early before they become a problem.

Mowing:

Gradually lower your mowing height as the grass starts to grow.

Summer:

Watering:

Water deeply and less frequently to encourage deep root growth.

Mowing Height:

Fall:

Fertilize:

Overseeding:

Fill in thin spots by overseeding with suitable grass seed.

Raking Leaves:

Regularly rake and remove fallen leaves to prevent suffocation.

Mowing:

Gradually raise the mowing height as the season progresses.

Winter:

Last Mow:

Give your lawn a final mow before winter to prevent disease.

Clean Tools:

Clean and store your lawn care tools.

Snow Removal:

Remove snow promptly to prevent mold growth.
