Tips
Water your lawn deeply and infrequently. Too little water can force the grass into dormancy and Watering too frequent can cause shallow roots which lessens the drought tolerance of your lawn.
If your mower blades are dull you will see the tips of the grass blades frayed giving the lawn a brownish cast.
Mow in a different direction each time to prevent ruts.
Do not remove more than 30% of the leaf tissue during a single mowing. If the lawn is growing quickly it requires more frequent mowings.
Aeration can help a lawn that is heavily compacted due to construction vehicles driving on the turf.
Mowing your lawn lower than it's recommended height only makes it grow faster to replace leaf tissue.
Mow at the recommended height for the type of grass that your lawn contains.
A general rule of thumb for this area is three inches.
Visible footprints in your lawn after walking on it means that the lawn most likely needs a thorough watering.
Overfertilizing causes surge growth of the grass blade as the plant tries to rid itself of the excess. Putting so much effort into growing the leaf tissue, root development suffers.
Make sure your lawn care service is insured.
Some services, such as pesticide application, require licensing by the state of Pennsylvania. Make sure to ask your lawn care professional if they are licensed.
