Talk with a garden professional or a local extension office on what type of grass will perform best for you.

A well-tuned mower will make speed up the mowing while saving you time and money. Routine, preventative maintenance will save on gas and oil while making your mower run smoothly. A simple way to improve mower efficiency, overall appearance and health is to sharpen the blades.
PRO TIP: Sharpen your blades twice a year for best cutting performance.

Recycle your grass clippings to feed your lawn, this will save you time since you won’t need to empty your bagger. It also supplements your lawn by adding nitrogen with each cutting therefore reducing the need for nitrogen fertilizer. Another way to add nutrition to your lawn is by top dressing with a layer of compost. It will improve your soil while greening up the grass.

This approach encourages root growth and decreases the chances of disease and weeds. Time of day can impact how much water is needed to keep your lawn looking green and healthy.

PRO TIP: You may be able to shave a few dollars off that water bill by checking your irrigation system. Fine tune the timing, check for broken sprinkler heads, and adjust spray patterns to avoid watering the sidewalk.
