Wisconsin lawn care tips

Best time to mow

The best time to mow is mid-morning after the dew has dried and the sun hasn’t gotten too hot yet. 

Adjust mowing height

Adjust your mower’s blade to the proper height for your grass type. Also, remember to never cut more than a third of the blade at one time.

Regular mowing schedule

Weekly mowing is necessary in the spring and fall when the grass grows the fastest. You can slow to every other week in the summer or stop altogether if the lawn is dormant.

Aeration

In Wisconsin, the best time to aerate is in the morning, during the fall season, while the dew is still on the grass and the grass is still growing. 

Fertilization

The right amount of fertilizer at the proper time keeps your lawn healthy. Fertilize your cool-season grass in early fall.

Watering

Water your Wisconsin lawn early in the morning, before the sun is up. Temperatures are cooler, and the grass absorbs the water more effectively. If you wait until mid-day to water, the hot sun will dry up the water before it soaks in.

Common Wisconsin lawn pests

With humid conditions and fluctuating temperatures across Wisconsin, homeowners might find these pesky lawn pests in their grass:

• Chich bugs
• European chafer beetle grubs
• June beetles
• Japanese beetles
