There are about five trillion lawn products on the market today (This is an estimate although it is probably not far off). Many of them promise a quick way to get a lush, healthy, green lawn. They make all sorts of promises and come in bags or bottles with fancy words and bright colors. Allow me to save you a ton of time and money. The two most important things you can do to help keep your lawn healthy are mow and edge regularly.

There are several reasons why these two things are the first step to not only a well manicured lawn, but also a healthy one. First,
mowing encourages growing. That's right a lawn that is mowed on a regular basis is usually more dense. Also, frequent mowing decreases how often the lawn needs watering. Having a freshly mowed lawn allows the blades of grass to easily absorb any moisture that is available.
Let's face it,with the current water restrictions that are in effect and how hot it gets here in the summer, the less water our lawn requires from us the better.
