Why Mow Regularly?
Helps Prevent Weeds
When your grass is cut to the proper height (not too long or too short), it blocks sunlight from reaching weed seeds. This makes it harder for crabgrass, dandelions, and clover to grow.1 Additionally, dense grass naturally crowds out weeds by leaving them less space to grow.
Improves Lawn Appearance
Regular mowing makes your lawn look neat, even, and well-maintained. This is especially beneficial for businesses trying to make a good impression on customers.

Why Fertilize Regularly?
Replenishes Nutrients Depleted from Soil
As your lawn grows, it uses nutrients stored in the soil to produce new growth, strengthen its roots, and recover from everyday stress. Over time, those nutrients become depleted. Regular fertilization replaces them, helping your lawn stay healthy and continue growing.
Improves Drought & Disease Resistance
A healthy, properly fertilized lawn is better able to handle environmental stress. Strong roots help grass access moisture during dry weather, while proper nutrition improves its ability to resist common lawn diseases such as brown patch, dollar spot, and leaf spot.
Mowing & Fertilization FAQs
Yes. Regular lawn care helps your grass stay healthy, resist weeds and disease, and recover from everyday foot traffic, mowing, and environmental stress. It also improves your home's curb appeal and can help prevent costly lawn repairs in the future.
Most lawns should be mowed once every 5 to 7 days during the active growing season, which is typically spring through early fall. During late fall and winter, grass grows much more slowly, and in some areas it will stop growing entirely after the first snowfall.
Rather than following a strict schedule, mow as needed to maintain the recommended height for your grass type and avoid removing more than one-third of the grass blade at a time.
Most established lawns benefit from fertilizer every 6 to 8 weeks, or about 2 to 4 applications per year. The ideal schedule depends on your grass type, soil conditions, and climate.
For many homeowners, yes. Professional lawn care companies use commercial-grade products and know when, where, and how much fertilizer to apply based on your lawn's needs. This helps avoid common DIY mistakes like overfertilizing, underfertilizing, or using the wrong products, all of which can lead to poor growth or lawn damage.
That depends on the type of grass you have.
- Cool-season grasses such as Kentucky bluegrass, tall fescue, perennial ryegrass, and fine fescue are typically fertilized in early spring and again in the fall.
- Warm-season grasses such as Bermuda grass, Zoysia, St. Augustine, and centipede grass should be fertilized after they’re out of dormancy in late spring.
Starting too early or too late can reduce the effectiveness of fertilizer.
Yes, when it is applied correctly. Most fertilizers are safe once they have been watered into the soil or after the waiting period listed on the product label. As a precaution, children and pets should stay off the lawn until it is safe to return.
