Spring is here—and if you want a thick, green lawn all season, it really comes down to doing a few simple things consistently.

 

Here are the 3 biggest things you can do right now:

1. Mow High

Set your mower to 3.5–4 inches. Taller grass:

• Shades out weeds

• Builds deeper roots

• Holds moisture better during heat

 

2. Water the Right Way

Once temps start rising:

• Minimum: 1x per week to keep your lawn out of dormancy

• Optimal: 2–3x per week, non-consecutive days

• ~1 inch total per week (about 30–45 minutes per zone)

• Early morning watering is best

• Pro tip: Watering 1–2 days after our applications helps activate the fertilizer and move nutrients into the soil for better results

 

3. Keep Your Blades Sharp

As your lawn starts actively growing and reseeding itself:

• Dull blades tear grass → causes browning and stress

• Sharp blades = clean cuts and a healthier, greener lawn
