Mowing Guidelines

It's important to adjust your mowing height during the summer months. Raise the cutting blades higher than normal, so that you're leaving at least 3 1/2 to 4 inches of turf. Longer turf will protect the roots of the grass from the hot summer sun.

Lawn Watering Guidelines

The most efficient time to water lawns is early in the morning from 4 am to 8 am. Less water is lost to evaporation due to lower temperatures and less sunlight.  Watering after 8 am wastes a lot of water: costing the homeowner and doing little for the grass.
