• <div><p>Water daily, avoid heavy foot traffic, and mow when the grass reaches 3-4 inches.</p></div>

Q: How sharp should lawn mower blades be?

• <div><p>Lawn mower blades should be sharp enough that you can feel the sharpened edge, but not sharp enough to cut you when you touch them. Over-sharpening blades to a fine, razor-edge poses a safety risk and decreases the blade's life because it causes extra wear; the thinner edge is sharper but weaker and will require more frequent sharpening.</p></div>

• <div><p>Depending on the local climate and time of year, you only need to water your lawn by hand once or twice a week. It takes about 25 to 30 minutes with a hose and/or watering can. It doesn't require any electricity or complex irrigation systems and provides some exercise and time outdoors for free. You can also go for longer between waterings during rainy times.</p></div>

• <div><p>There are several best practices you can do to keep your lawn looking healthy. Knowing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/water-lawn-hot-weather.htm">when to water grass</a> is among the most important.
