Maintain a two to four inch layer of mulch on the soil surface to reduce weeds, infiltrate rain water, and reduce compaction.
In general, lawns only need to be watered once every three days.
Check your irrigation controller and reduce watering times if necessary.
Drip and other smart irrigation delivers water directly to roots, allowing no excess water for weeds.
