Mowing: The optimal height for grass is approximately 4 inches. Cut no lower than 3-1⁄2 inches and then mow each week before the grass gets taller than 5".

Watering: Water as needed to prevent drought stress or allow the lawn to go dormant. Dormant lawns must be watered every three weeks during a drought. Watering before 8:00 am is best and prevents evaporation and potential mold development.

Beware of Brown Spots: Tall fescue, the most common in this area, is highly susceptible to brown patch disease, which appears as irregularly shaped patches of dead or dying turf. Brown patch disease can be controlled with the right type of fungicide and treatment schedule. Let us do it for you!
