A lush, green lawn doesn’t just happen—it takes the right care, timing, and techniques to keep your yard looking vibrant through every season. Whether you're a new homeowner or just tired of patchy grass, these tips will help you maintain that rich green color and healthy growth all year long.

1. Water Smart, Not Hard

Watering is crucial, but overwatering can drown roots and attract fungus. The key is consistency:

Water early in the morning (between 4–9 AM).
Aim for about 1 inch of water per week.
Deep, infrequent watering encourages strong root growth.

2. Mow the Right Way

How and when you mow makes a huge difference:

Keep blades sharp to avoid tearing the grass.
Never cut more than 1/3 of the grass height at a time.
Mow higher in the summer to shade the soil and reduce evaporation.

3. Fertilize with Purpose

Use a balanced fertilizer that matches your grass type and local soil conditions.

Fertilize in early spring, late spring, and fall.
Avoid fertilizing in extreme heat to prevent burning the lawn.

4. Aerate to Breathe Life In

Compacted soil can choke your lawn. Aerating allows air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots.

Best done in early spring or fall.
You can rent an aerator or hire a pro to handle it for you.

5. Stay Ahead of Weeds

Weeds rob your lawn of nutrients and space. Stay proactive:

Use pre-emergent herbicides in early spring.
Pull out weeds by hand or spot-treat with a safe weed killer.
Keep your lawn thick—dense grass naturally crowds out weeds.

6. Overseed Bare Spots

Thin or patchy areas? Overseeding helps maintain a thick, green lawn.

Ideal in the fall or early spring.
Use a seed that matches your existing grass.
