00:00A healthy green lawn can add value to your property, create a space for entertainment and even help absorb pollution.
00:06Here are some tips to grow a lawn you're proud of.
00:09First, mow high, meaning set the blade of your lawnmower for a 2.5 to 3-inch cut, or about 10 centimeters.
00:16This will help a strong root system to develop and discourage weeds.
00:20Next, watch out for weeds, insects or disease.
00:24They are much easier to manage if you stay on top of the problem.
00:27Careful use of urban pesticides designed, tested and approved for residential use can help.
00:33Finally, water wisely.
00:35Water your lawn early in the morning so you lose less moisture to evaporation.
00:40Waiting until evening could leave your lawn vulnerable to disease.
00:44Instead of watering daily, try a deeper watering 1 to 3 times a week.
00:49This encourages deeper root growth, which helps your lawn survive in drier conditions.
