Lawns do more than make your yard look good. Lawns absorb and hold water, which helps reduce storm runoff and improve water quality. Lawns also have a significant cooling effect, provide oxygen, trap dust and dirt, promote healthful micro-organisms, prevent erosion and filter rainwater contaminants.
Maintaining a healthy lawn involves using good maintenance practices throughout the growing season. These include proper mowing, fertilization, irrigation, thatch control, weed management and insect management. Properly administered, these techniques provide a dense, healthy, high quality lawn.
