Based upon recommendations from the University of Florida, Florida Lawn Handbook,  Lee County Best Management Practices and our years of experience at Pro Cut Lawn Care.  

• Sharp Mower Blades to cut the grass instead of tearing.
• Mow no more than 1/3 of leaf of grass.
• Water in Pre Dawn hours ex. 2-8 AM
• Irrigation Systems need to apply water uniformly and saturate the root zone of the turf grass.
• Do not irrigate daily for a few minutes, this will not provide enough water to roots, but will help any turf grass pathogens.
• If disease present, increase mowing height to allow leaf tissue to repair itself with photosynthesis.  Wash mower and remove clippings after cutting a diseased property.
• Nutrition for the lawn must be balanced with regards to Nitrogen.

           Too Much N= encourages Brown Patch and Gray Leaf Spot                                   

           Not Enough N=  encourages Dollar Spot
