You will want to make sure that your lawn mower glass is sharp to get the best cut of your grass. Once a week is usually enough to cut your grass because you don\u2019t want to cut more than 1\/3 of the grass length, doing this will keep your lawn healthy. If you aren\u2019t using a bagged lawn mower than it is usually a good idea to let the grass clippings stay on to the lawn and act as a healthy mulch for your grass. These clippings still have a lot of vitamins and minerals that will help your grass stay healthy and continue to grow.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Give your lawn the proper amount of water<\/h3>    <figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Automatic-sprinkler-656x438.jpg\" alt=\"Automatic sprinkler in a lawn\" class=\"wp-image-116813\" style=\"width:656px;height:438px\" width=\"656\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Automatic-sprinkler-656x438.jpg 656w, https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Automatic-sprinkler-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Automatic-sprinkler-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Automatic-sprinkler-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Automatic-sprinkler.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 656px) 100vw, 656px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/stock.adobe.com\/in\/images\/close-up-details-of-automatic-grass-lawn-pop-up-sprinkler\/282781126?prev_url=detail\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">aboutmomentsimages<\/a> \/ Adobe Stock Free \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/stock.adobe.com\/in\/license-terms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">License<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>    <p>Another integral part of caring for your lawn each summer is ensuring that your lawn receives the proper amount of water it needs to stay healthy. Believe it or not, watering your lawn excessively is extremely detrimental to the health of the grass and can make it more susceptible to fungus.<\/p>    <p>If you have an underground sprinkler system, that actually makes watering your lawn an easy task because you can set the timer for daily or even every other day and the amount of time you wish to water. That way, if you ever forget to turn the sprinkler on, or in some cases, turn it off, no worries! If you have to use a portable sprinkler or choose to do it yourself with a hose then, set a timer on your phone or even a wrist watch so that overwatering doesn\u2019t occur; on average you\u2019ll want to water your grass about 1-2 inches of water per week.
