Crucial Cultural Tools

The key to a healthy thick lawn with reduced pest control applications is to implement good cultural practices. This includes:

• Maintain a mow height of 3” – 4”. Remove no more than 1/3 of the leaf blades height
• Keep mower blade sharp
• Keep the root zone moist but not saturated
• Core aerate 1-2 times per season
• Broadcast or slice seed annually to replace lost grass plants and fill thin areas
