Lawn Care Quick Guide
The basics every grower should know
🌱 The 4 pillars of a great lawn
💧 Water deeply, less often
Aim for ~1 inch per week including rain. Deep, infrequent watering grows deep roots. Water early morning to reduce disease.
✂️ Mow high
Never cut more than ⅓ of the blade at once. Taller grass (3–4") shades soil, chokes weeds and stays greener.
🧴 Feed the soil
A soil test tells you what's missing. Common starters: balanced 10‑10‑10, or a nitrogen-rich blend in growing season.
🌾 Overseed bare spots
Match seed to your climate (cool vs warm season). Keep seed consistently moist until it establishes.
