Watering
A suggested watering schedule is Monday and Thursday in the A.M. one start time at 5:00 A.M. to supply 3/8" of water and one start time at 9:00 A.M. to supply 3/8' of water (3/4" total per/day 2 watering days per week = 1 1/2" of water weekly).
If you don't have an irrigation controller, try watering one time per week. Run the sprinkler to supply 3/4" of water, shut if off for 2-4 hours and then repeat the run time to supply the other 3/4" of water.
Mowing
The 1/3 rule! Never cut more than 1/3 of the grass plant at any one time!
This said, you should mow your lawn when it needs to be mowed, not on a set day of the week.
Using your Grass Authority Mowing Gauge or a ruler. Mow a small spot of our lawn, shut off the mower and measure the height of cut with the mower gauge. Not the height of the mower deck! Adjust the mower as required to set cutting height. Grass in our area likes to be cut at
2 1/4" to 2 1/2". Let your lawn grow to 4" and then cut (ie 1/3rd of the grass plant).
