Here&#8217;s why: If you cut your lawn too low, your grass will require higher amounts of watering, more fertilizer, and more maintenance in general. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By cutting only one-third of your grass height, you can mulch your grass clippings and leave them on the lawn as long as they do not form clumps. Your grass clipping then will naturally fertilize your lawn. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before your first mow of the season, get your equipment ready. Get your lawn mower blades sharpened. Dull blades can damage &#8212; or bruise &#8212; grass blades, making them more susceptible to lawn diseases and lawn pests.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>See Related:<\/strong><br>&#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/lawn-care-2\/lawn-mowing-tips-cut-grass\/\">How to Mow Your Lawn the Right Way<\/a><br>&#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/lawn-care-2\/when-to-mow-your-yard-this-spring\/\">When to Mow Your Yard This Spring<\/a><br>&#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/lawn-care-2\/how-to-sharpen-lawn-mower-blades\/\">How to Sharpen Lawn Mower Blades<\/a><\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-4-identify-and-treat-lawn-diseases\">4.

When inspecting your lawn, pay close attention for signs of these lawn diseases:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/lawn-care-2\/fighting-brown-patch-other-summer-lawn-fungus-diseases\/\">Brown patch<\/a>:<\/strong> Look for small, round, tan-colored spots on your lawn, with a green center. Sometimes, you may spot the presence of white mycelium in the early morning. This disease grows best in cool and moist soils. <\/li>    <li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/lawn-care-2\/how-to-treat-necrotic-ring-spot\/\">Necrotic ring spot<\/a>:<\/strong> This disease shows itself through straw-colored rings and arches on your grasses that can reach several feet in diameter. There&#8217;s also black rot on the grass roots and lower stems.<\/li> <\/ul>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To avoid grass diseases such as these, make sure you are not over-watering or over-fertilizing your lawn because these diseases grow vigorously in moist, cool conditions.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And if you do suspect your lawn is battling a disease, look for fungicides in any Spokane lawn and garden center that can take care of the symptoms before they spread to the rest of your lawn. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>See Related:<\/strong><br>&#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/reviews\/best-lawn-fungicides\/\">Best Lawn Fungicides<\/a><br>&#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/lawn-care-2\/signs-of-overwatering-lawn\/\">Signs of Overwatering Your Lawn<\/a><br>&#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/lawn-care-2\/how-to-fix-overfertilized-lawn\/\">How to Fix an Over-Fertilized Lawn<\/a><\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-5-remove-excess-thatch\">5.
