Keep your grass between 3.5–4 inches tall. Taller blades shade out weeds and keep your lawn healthier in Central Florida’s heat.

Water before 10 AM so your lawn absorbs moisture before the sun evaporates it. Evening watering can cause fungus growth.

A 2–3 inch layer of mulch helps block weeds, retain moisture, and protect plant roots from extreme heat.

Check sprinkler heads monthly. Clogged or misaligned heads waste water and leave dry patches in your yard.

Bushes too close to walls trap moisture and attract pests. Keep 1–2 feet of clearance.
