Below we have discussed three main elements of lawn care.

Set mowing heights to upto 2 inches for most lawns, for better and deep root development. Such mowing will greatly help in crowding out weeds.

iii. Leave the clippings
Leave the clippings on the on the lawn. Clippings will turn in to useful fertilizer for the lawn and helps for a greener and denser lawn growth. This method is called as "Grass cycling", which also prevents thatch build up.
