Lawn TipMow High, Let it Lie - Get that green lawn you are looking for by mowing it to a height of 3-4” using sharp mower blades. Keeping grass a little taller, will allow it to develop deeper roots and capture more rain water. The taller blades will also shade out some of those pesky weeds! After mowing, try leaving your clippings on the lawn to give your grass the nutrients it needs. Your lawn will break down the grass clipping relatively quickly, and you will save on fertilizer needs.
