Lawn Care FAQs

Here are some of the more common lawn care questions we get asked:

How high should my grass be mowed?
At least three inches or the highest setting on your mower. Never cut more than 1/3 of the grass height every time you mow.

How should I water my lawn?
Sprinkler systems are usually the best option. Your grass will receive deep, frequent waterings with automatic systems.

What’s the best way to remove weeds?
Either use a post-emergent herbicide or pull out the weeds by hand.

Can I level a bumpy lawn?
Yes. Fill in the low spots with 1/4-inch layer of topsoil or sand. You might find you have to fill gradually in low spots to avoid smothering the grass.

Should I use my clippings for mulch or bag them?
In most cases, mulch, as it returns nutrients and organic matter to the lawn. It will also help the lawn to retain water.
