      The 1/3 rule means never cut more than one-third of the grass blade length in a single mowing. For example, if your grass is 4.5 inches tall, don't cut lower than 3 inches. This promotes healthier grass growth and prevents stress on the lawn.

      4. Address soil compaction through aeration
      5. Control weeds that compete for nutrients
