Information on your lawn

Tips For Your Lawn
When you return from summer vacation you might be looking at a lawn that needs an immediate cut. However, resist the temptation to cut it all down in one mowing. Instead, mow first at the highest setting on your mower, then lower the deck and cut it again a few days later. If need be, continue lowering the deck and mowing every few days until it is back to "normal."


Many types of insects will find your lawn an inviting place to hide and eat. Most are harmless, but a few can create quite a bit of damage, while others like ticks and ants are just a nuisance. Control insects in your lawn with a product such as Ortho® Bug-B-Gon® MAX® Insect Killer For Lawns. It kills over 50 types of insects on contact and provides season-long control.


The most important principle of preventing lawn diseases is to follow proper lawn care practices (mowing, feeding, watering). A well-fed lawn will have plenty of the nutrients needed to "fight off" most turf grass diseases. Only apply a fungicide if necessary.
