“Top Lawn Maintenance Tips
1. Mow Smart

• Set your mower height to about 2.5–3 inches for most grass types.

• Water deeply and less frequently, aiming for 1–1.5 inches per week (including rainfall).
• Best time to water: Early morning to reduce evaporation and prevent fungal growth.
3. Feed Your Lawn
