Native plants will show a greater affinity to the various types of climate in this area. Direct your house's downspouts away from foundations, sidewalks, and driveways. Direct them to the lawn or natural areas where the water can soak in. This will reduce runoff and provide a more efficient use for the water. Maintenance by mowing A common sense approach to mowning your grass is a strong factor for managing weed growth in your lawn.
Weeds suffer when trying to grow under tall and thick turf.
Greater length provides for a deeper root system and more food reserves. Cutting more than that stops root growth. Mow when the grass is dry and leave the leaf clippings on the ground . These clippings can provide between 20-50 percent of the nitrogen needed by your lawn. Contrary to popular believe, thatch is a result of old and dead roots NOT from leaving leaf clippings on the ground.
