Skippy's Tips

for a Healthy Lawn

  • Mowing Tips: Maintain your lawn at the ideal height recommended for your specific grass type. For warm-season grasses like Bermuda or Zoysia, keep the height between 1.5 to 2 inches, while cool-season grasses like Fescue are best kept between 2.5 to 3 inches. Avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass blade length at a time to prevent stress on the grass.
  • Watering Guidelines: Water deeply and infrequently to encourage deep-root growth and drought tolerance. Watering early in the morning is ideal to minimize evaporation and fungal diseases. Aim for about 1 inch of water per week, including rainfall, and adjust based on weather conditions and soil type.
  • Fertilization Schedule: Follow a seasonal fertilization schedule tailored to your lawn's needs. In Georgia, consider fertilizing warm-season grasses like Bermuda, Zoysia, and Centipede in late spring and early summer. Cool-season grasses such as Fescue benefit from fertilization in fall and early spring.
  • Weed Control Strategies: Implement a proactive weed control strategy by using pre-emergent herbicides in spring and fall to prevent weed seeds from germinating. Existing weeds can be spot-treated with herbicides or manually removed. Maintaining a thick and healthy lawn through proper mowing and fertilization also helps suppress weed growth.
  • Aeration Benefits: Consider annual aeration to improve soil compaction, enhance root development, and promote better nutrient absorption. Aeration helps air, water, and nutrients penetrate the soil more effectively, leading to a healthier and more resilient lawn.
  • Seasonal Lawn Care Tasks: In addition to regular maintenance, consider seasonal tasks such as dethatching in spring to remove built-up thatch, overseeding in fall to fill in bare patches and improve turf density, and winterizing your lawn equipment to ensure they are ready for the next growing season.
