The frequency and timing of lawn watering depend on several factors, including your local climate, soil type, and grass variety. As a general guideline, it's best to water deeply but infrequently. Most lawns benefit from around 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week, including rainfall. To promote strong root growth, it's usually better to water in the early morning, ideally between 6 AM and 10 AM. This allows the grass to dry before evening, reducing the risk of diseases.

Soil health is crucial for a thriving lawn. To enhance your soil, consider regular aeration, which improves air and water penetration. Additionally, you can incorporate organic matter, such as compost, to improve soil structure and nutrient content. Conduct a soil test to identify any deficiencies and adjust your fertilization accordingly. Finally, mow your grass at the recommended height for your specific grass type, as this helps maintain soil moisture and grass health.

Preventing weeds can be an ongoing challenge. To do this, we use a variety of methods such as Eco Friendly "Pre-Emergent Weed Control", which prevent new weed seed from germinating, while "Post-Emergent Weed Control" is used to eliminate weeds that have already sprouted.
