Never cut more than one-third of your grass blade height at a time. This keeps your lawn healthier and reduces stress. For warm-season grasses common in Evans, mow high (around 3 to 3.5 inches) and let those clippings stay put for free nutrients.

Warm-season grasses in Evans typically slow down in late fall and go dormant through winter. Growth picks back up in late spring when soil temperatures rise. During dormancy, ease off mowing and watering to let your lawn rest.

Grasscycle by leaving clippings on your lawn after mowing. They break down and return nutrients to the soil for free. Water deeply but less often, mow at the right height, and take weekly weed walks to catch problems early.

Spring is prime time for fertilizing warm-season lawns, managing weeds before they take hold, and repairing bare patches from winter. Adjusting mowing height and auditing irrigation systems also help set up your yard for a strong growing season.

Overwatering tops the list. It invites disease and fungal issues. Other missteps include mowing too short, fertilizing dormant grass, and skipping soil tests. A little watchfulness goes a long way toward a thriving yard.
