Step 1
Mow the lawn when it is a third higher than its recommended mowing height. Leave clippings on the lawn. They'll add nutrients and organic matter as they break down.
-
Step 2
Fertilize with a high-nitrogen fertilizer every six to eight weeks from late spring until early fall. Feeding later or earlier wastes nutrients and harms your lawn.
-
Step 3
Water to supplement rainfall. In dry summer areas, most warm-season lawns need 1 to 2 inches of water per week. Water deeply two or three times a week.
-
Step 4
Aerate every year or two. Aerating increases oxygen to the roots and improves water penetration.
-
Step 5
Control weeds, insects, and disease, if necessary.
