You should mow your lawn once a week during the growing season (spring through early fall). However, this may vary depending on your grass type and climate. Never cut more than one-third of the grass height at a time.

Early morning (between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m.) is the best time to water. This reduces evaporation and allows grass to dry before nightfall, which helps prevent fungal diseases.

Most lawns need about 1 inch of water per week, including rainfall. Use a rain gauge or a tuna can to measure how much your sprinkler provides.

Fertilize cool-season grasses in early spring and fall. Warm-season grasses benefit from fertilization in late spring and summer. Always use a slow-release fertilizer and follow local guidelines to prevent over-fertilization.

Brown patches can be caused by overwatering, drought stress, compacted soil, or fungal diseases. Proper mowing, aeration, and watering can help prevent these issues.
