Tips For Lawn Care Success

First, regular feedings help your lawn look it's best and provide the nutrients it needs to withstand the stresses of weeds, weather and activity. Secondly, after you mow leave the grass clippings on the lawn. This allows grass to use water more effectively. Finally water, utilize nature's sprinkler as much as possible. When you do have to water, do it between 6 and 10 am - less water is lost to evaporation and more reaches the roots.

Watering Tips

For faster results, lightly water in (product does not require watering in).

Well-fed lawns are more efficient at using available water. Feeding with Scotts products helps grow a thick lawn with more roots to better absorb water and nutrients than an unfed lawn. This protects your lawn against heat, drought and other stresses. Remember, your lawn will begin to wilt when water is needed. As much as possible take advantage of nature's sprinkler and rely on the rain to water your lawn.
