On average, your lawn should be mowed once a week to avoid overgrowth or damage to the lawn. It’s recommended to never cut more than one third of each leaf blade.

You should water your lawn about 2 – 3 times per week to achieve the recommended 1 – 1.5 inches of water per week. 1 – 1.5 inches is an average; the amount of water can vary on the type of grass, soil, and additional environmental factors. We advise to water in the morning to avoid any evaporation.

There are other causes to brown patches on your lawn other than lack of watering. If you’re watering appropriately and are still noticing brown patches you may have an underlying issue such as fungus, Spring Dead Spot, bugs, or additional factors that may cause stress on the grass causing it to die out.
