When growth is good (usually spring & autumn) mow at least every 7 to 10 days if using a rotary and AT LEAST every 3 to 5 days if using a cylinder mower. Mow at least every two weeks in dry summers if using a rotary and every week if using a cylinder mower.

“Cool-season grasses” should especially be fertilized between late September and early November, and again between late March and early May. Meanwhile, “warm-season grasses” should be fertilized between late March and early May, and again between late June and early August.Feb

Aeration involves perforating the soil with small holes to allow air, water and nutrients to penetrate the grass roots. This helps the roots grow deeply and produce a stronger, more vigorous lawn. The main reason for aerating is to alleviate soil compaction.
