August lawn care tips:
- Apply 1 pound nitrogen per 1,000 square feet to bermudagrass and St. Augustine grass. Skip this month for fertilizing centipedegrass and zoysiagrass.
- Mow often (every 5 to 10 days) to remove just 1/3 the grass height at each mowing.
- Water lawns as needed (grayish color or curling leaf blades).
- Stop fertilizing warm-season turf types at the end of the month.
