Pro Tip: Your grass might be as short as a putting green, but don't keep it that way. Let it grow to a length of about 3 to 3½ inches, and maintain that height all season. This allows the grass blades shade out w**d seeds, and in the summer it shades the soil, reducing evaporation. Come fall, you can go back to cutting it short—w**d seeds aren't as abundant then, and evaporation is less of a concern. Two exceptions are Bermuda and seashore paspalum grasses, found in the South, which can be kept at a height of 3/4 to 1 inch.

Pro Tip: One common problem with lawns is uneven ground. Low spots can cause poor drainage, while high spots are often scalped by the mower. Since these situations create poor growing conditions for grass, grab a shovel, cut away areas that are raised, and fill in those that are depressed.

Pro Tip: Try to avoid mowing when the grass is wet. You’ll always get a better, more even cut, and the clippings will not clump up nearly as much if the grass is dry. Walking and pushing a mower in soft, wet soil can also create tracks on the lawn.

Pro Tip: How much and how often should you be watering your lawn? General wisdom is to water your lawn deeply once or twice a week. Apply 1" to 1 1/2" of water each time. Light, daily watering leaves too much water at or near the surface of the soil, and does not reach all of the roots where it is needed. Deep watering allows moisture to reach the deepest parts of the roots. Allowing the soil to dry between watering will encourage the roots to go deeper to reach the moisture and nutrients it needs, ensuring it will withstand the rough summer droughts.

Pro Tip: Your lawn's appearance is enhanced by sharp mower blades. Grass will be able to recover from mowing faster when it is cut by sharp blades. Also, removing more than 1/3 of the grass blade could stress your lawn, causing it to look "burnt out".
