1. Stick with Scott's Products,, it will yield results as time goes by.. use the turf builder as recommended and the weed and feed, etc, ( there is a 3 step Scott's program for lawn care ) Lawn height should not be too low, scalping will cause burning and desease, plus a weak root structure I keep my lawn mower setting at 2.2" , When you see your grass getting leggy, it's time to mow, Watering is essential, timing is crucial to good lawn health. The rule is, Water in the early Morning hours, and Mow in the later part of the day, towards evening., A lawn grass should never be put to bed wet, ( that will cause problems and encourage slugs. In the late Fall, over seed with Rye Grass, after the last mowing. I highly recommend dethatching the lawn and also Aerating it as well to loosen compacted soil.Do those two thing before anything. thatch build up will inhibit any fertilizers or seed from reaching the soil. Good Luck
