Q: Will mowing kill clover?

• <div><p>Mowing a lawn will, unfortunately, not get rid of clover, and it may even encourage it to flourish. Let your lawn grow to a healthy height of over 3 inches and then set your mower blades no lower than this level. Higher grass will cut out the light that clover loves and discourage it from spreading.</p></div>

Q: Should I water my lawn every day in hot weather?

• <div><p>No, you shouldn&rsquo;t water your lawn every day in hot weather&mdash;or ever. For most lawns, one to three water sessions per week is sufficient. When it&rsquo;s above 95 degrees Fahrenheit, watering your grass can be wasteful since the heat from the sun often evaporates the water before your lawn fully absorbs it. That&rsquo;s why the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/water-lawn-hot-weather.htm">best time to water grass</a> in summer is at dawn or in the early evening (between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m.).</p></div>
