How Frequently Should You Mow Your Lawn?

The recommended frequency of lawn mowing largely depends on the type of grass you have, the season, and its overall health. During the growing season (spring and summer), mowing should typically be done once a week. However, you may need to mow more frequently if your lawn is experiencing rapid growth or less frequently in drought conditions. In the fall and winter months, you can reduce your mowing schedule to once every two weeks.

What Is the Best Month to Fertilize Your Lawn?

The best fertilization months for cool-season grasses are typically early spring and fall. A nitrogen-rich fertilizer application stimulates growth as the ground begins to thaw in early spring. This fertilizer helps your grass recover from winter dormancy.

A second round of fertilization should be completed in the fall, specifically in September and October. This application aids in root development and prepares your lawn for winter, ensuring it has the necessary nutrients to thrive in the growing season.

What Tasks Are Part of a Fall Lawn Clean-Up?

Fall clean-up refers to preparing your lawn for the winter months. During this time, removing fallen leaves, debris, and dead plants is important, as they can smother your grass and promote pests or disease.

Raking leaves will keep your lawn tidy and allow sunlight to reach the soil, encouraging healthy growth. Aerating your lawn and applying a final round of fertilizer at this time will also strengthen your roots.

These steps will ensure your lawn emerges healthy and vibrant in the spring, setting you up for success in the growing season.
