Turf provides many environmental benefits, such as reducing runoff and soil erosion and filtering pollutants. To keep turf healthy and stress-tolerant:
• Aerify areas to improve water infiltration.
• Fertilize and water according to recommendations for your species.
• Match mower height to your turf species.
• Use a mulching mower to keep roots cool.
• Consult your turfgrass professional to assess quality year-round,
particularly during a drought.
