Go slow when time to mow

A GOOD TIDY: Clear up debris

WITH brighter days already on the way, March is when your lawn starts to stir.

Saturated ground compacts easily, encouraging moss, poor drainage, and thin growth. A few well-timed jobs now will set the lawn up for spring.

TRIM: Do edges after a mow TREAD LIGHTLY: Comb the surface SLOW AND STEADY Set mowers high at first
