The 150 rule isn't a standard lawn care guideline in Berthoud. For Colorado's Front Range climate, focus on deep watering two to three times weekly, mowing at 3 to 3.5 inches, and fertilizing when temps stay between 50°F and 85°F during active growth periods.

The 1/3 rule means never removing more than one-third of grass blade height when mowing. In Berthoud, keep cool-season grass at 3 to 3.5 inches tall. This promotes deeper roots, better drought tolerance, and naturally crowds out weeds over time.

Start with weed control, then apply fertilizer, followed by seeding if needed. Wait 7 to 10 days between applications. Sunday recommends applying pest control as needed throughout the season. Mow regularly and water deeply two to three times per week.
