MOW WEEKLY AT THE RIGHT HEIGHT – During warmer months, keep grass blades at 3–4 inches to shade soil, reduce water loss, and encourage deep roots.

• EDGE BEDS & WALKWAYS – Define borders every visit to prevent grass from creeping into flower beds and hardscaped areas.

PRACTICE DEEP, EARLY‑MORNING WATERING
