Mowing
Improper mowing causes more problems in a lawn than any other maintenance practice. Your lawn should be mowed at a height of 2.5 -3" minimum. Remember to never cut off more than 1/3 of the leaf blade at a time, especially in the spring. Dull mower blades can tear the leaf blade which can damage the turf plant leaving it more susceptible to damage from insects, and disease.
Watering
To have your lawn looking its best it requires 1" of water per week.Watering your lawn is best done in the early morning. You want to water your lawn deep and infrequently (i.e. 1/3 of an inch-3 times/week to achieve 1" of water/week. This is with no rainfall. If you get some rain, then you can save water by watering less).
Fertilizer
Lawns need to be fertilized to maintain color, density and vigor. The healthier and more vigorous a lawn is, the better it can withstand stress from heat, drought, traffic and pets. We often try to achieve a dark green lawn, but the darkest green lawn is not always the healthiest lawn. We should try to achieve a healthy lawn that has moderate growth and good density.
