Master Lawn Care: Mow, Feed, and Thrive

Know Your Calendar

Follow a regional lawn-care schedule (e.g., Chicago-area) for seeding, fertilizing, and weed control timing.

Mower Match-Up

• Small yard → push reel or electric.
• Medium → self-propelled gas.
• Large → riding or zero-turn.
• Consider repairing an old mower before replacing.

Feed Right

• Apply fertilizer at recommended rates—more burns grass.
• Use a broadcast spreader for even coverage.
• Spring & fall are key windows.

Mow Smart

• Never remove >⅓ blade height per cut.
• Mow dry grass for cleaner cuts and easier cleanup.
• Frequent mowing thickens turf naturally.
