Mowing Mowing regularly keeps lawns looking well-kept and reduces weeds by encouraging dense turf. The recommended mowing height for most northeastern grasses is no shorter that 2-½”. This promotes better root growth, making it easier for the lawn to handle dry spells.
When done properly, fertilizing, watering, and mowing can give you the lawn you’ve always wanted.
Watering During the summer, most lawns require 1”-2” of water per week. To avoid fungus growth water every other day, early in the morning. Newly seeded areas should be watered lightly 1-2 times daily until the seedlings are 1” high.
