THE worst thing you can do to a lawn is mow it too low ( or scalp it ) people do this because they think they don’t have to mow so often…. Mowing this low invites weeds … it damages the plant material and during a drought it dries up any moisture that was left in the soil further causing even more stress to the lawn…. You are much better off skipping a mowing during an extended period with no rain… proper aeration of your soil, fertilizer and watering will keep your lawn green longer during a drought….. but I see so many do this to their lawn thinking it looks good this short…. HORRIBLE!!!
