Watering Tips

The key to your watering schedule is to water your lawn deeply and infrequently. Watering every day may appear that your lawn is getting the best care, but it is not. Frequent watering only wets the soil surface and creates a shallow-rooted lawn. This lawn type does not have the resources to survive stressful periods and the constant moisture around the blades only increases thatch and lawn disease. You should be watering two or three times a week, applying at least a ½ inch of water each time. This will moisten the lawns entire root zone from the soil surface to 6-8 inches deep and will ensure that the roots grow deeply and that they always have a ready water supply.

Mowing Tips

Most lawns in Wisconsin are a mix of Kentucky bluegrass and fine leaved-fescue. You should mow this type of lawn at least three inches above the soil line to shade the soil, and help keep weeds from establishing themselves. This shade also keeps the soil temperature cooler during times of drought. Try not to remove more than one-third of the grass blade at each mowing and keep your mower blades sharp at all times.
