2. How often should I mow my lawn?

Mowing frequency depends on the grass type and the growing season. Generally, you should mow your lawn every 1-2 weeks during the growing season. Keep your grass at a height of 2.5 to 4 inches to promote healthy growth.

3. When is the best time to fertilize my lawn?

The best time to fertilize your lawn varies based on grass type:

  • Cool-season grasses: Fertilize in early spring and again in fall.

  • Warm-season grasses: Fertilize in late spring and early summer.

4. How can I tell if my lawn needs water?

A simple way to check if your lawn needs water is the “screwdriver test.” If you can’t easily push a screwdriver into the soil, it’s time to water. Generally, lawns need about 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week.
