At LCS Lawn, we believe that achieving a healthy, vibrant lawn isn’t just about what we apply. It’s
about teamwork. While our treatments are carefully timed and tailored to your soil’s needs, the
daily care homeowners provide is just as important.

Lawn success really comes down to three factors:

1. The lawn care provider (that’s us)
2. The homeowner’s mowing and watering habits
3. Mother Nature
   We can’t control the weather, but we do control our methods. And you can control how your lawn is
   mowed and watered. That’s where the partnership comes in.
   Mowing the Right Way Makes a Big Difference
   Mowing isn’t just a chore. It directly affects how thick, green, and healthy your lawn grows.
   Here are key tips every homeowner should follow:

• Set your mower high: Keep the mower deck set to 3 to 3.5 inches. Taller grass shades the
  soil, improves moisture retention, and naturally blocks weeds.
• Follow the 1/3 rule: Only cut off one-third of the grass blade at a time. Cutting too much
  can stress the plant and weaken its root system.
• Keep blades sharp: Dull blades tear grass instead of cutting cleanly, leading to brown tips
  and increased disease risk.
• Vary your mowing pattern: Mow in different directions each time. This helps grass grow
  upright and avoids soil compaction over time.
  Smart Watering Builds Strong Roots
  Watering right isn’t about frequency. It’s about depth and consistency.
  
• Here’s how to do it properly:
• Water deeply and infrequently: Your lawn needs about 1 inch of water per week, including
  rainfall. That’s usually one or two deep waterings per week.
• Water early in the morning: The best time is before 9 a.m., when evaporation is low and
  leaves have time to dry before nightfall.
• Avoid shallow, frequent watering: This creates weak, shallow roots that are more
  vulnerable to drought and heat.

Why It All Matters
Our lawn care programs include organic-based fertilizers, pre-emergent weed control, and tailored
nutrient applications based on your turf and soil. But what happens in between our visits, your
mowing and watering routines, is what brings it all together. It’s a well-timed combination of expert
service and homeowner involvement that leads to a lawn you can be proud of.
