Lawn Care Tips
- Mowing Height: Keep grass between 2.5–3 inches. Cutting too short can stress your lawn and invite weeds.
- Mowing Frequency: Regular mowing encourages thicker, healthier growth. Avoid cutting more than one-third of the blade at a time.
- Watering: Early morning watering is best. It allows moisture to soak in before the heat of the day and reduces evaporation.
- Fertilization: Apply fertilizer seasonally to strengthen roots and promote lush, green growth.
Resources for Homeowners

Seasonal Cleanups
- Spring: Remove leaves, branches, and debris left behind by winter. This prevents mold and gives your lawn a fresh start.
