Countdown to a Healthy and Beautiful Florida Lawn

5) Water Properly. Its best to water in the early morning hours between 12 and 4am. Water twice a week for long periods of time (45 minutes) instead of everyday for short periods of time (15 minutes). This will encourage healthy growth of the root system. Also, check with local ordinance for any water restriction amounts and times. Otherwise you may get a fine for watering on the wrong days or for too long.

4) Fertilize 3 times a year between May and October. Call ProMo – we know when to fertilize and what to do for all different grass types.

3) Sharpen your lawn mower blades. Dull blades rip and shred the top of the grass leaves. This will cause the grass to split and develop brown edges. This splitting also makes your lawn more susceptible to disease and pest infestation.

2) Mow your grass often. Between March and November you should mow your lawn weekly. The cut height should not be less than 2.75 inches and DO NOT remove more than 1.25 inches per mowing. A good rule of thumb is you do not want to remove more than 1/3 of the total grass height per mowing. This is assuming you have one of the Saint Augustine varieties of grass which is the most common turf in Florida.
