Having a lush, green lawn is a prized achievement for many homeowners. It also adds curb appeal and makes a good first impression when you're trying to sell your home. A well- tended lawn shows that you take the time to care for and maintain your property- helping put buyers more at ease as they continue their viewing.

Here are some lawncare tips to help keep your lawn green & healthy through the Spring & Summer
1. Water & mow in the morning or evening to avoid water waste & burning the grass
2. Make sure your grass gets an inch of water per week (most types need this much)
3. Maximize sprinkler coverage by postitioning properly; avoid spraying driveways, etc & wasting water
4. Don't cut grass too short- longer grass= shade, which helps the roots retain water
For more great tips to help with pests, maintenance, & spot treatment, check out the full article by Homes.com.
