Fescue Lawn Maintenance Schedule

Fescue Lawn

DH has this thing about our grass while I tend to be more about the plants in the yard.  Our differences make us a good team, as I'm sure you can understand.

I don't remember who gave us this schedule to care for our fescue lawn but it never failed us.  We followed this schedule and had the most beautiful lawn.  It was lush, thick, healthy, and weed-free.  We have shared our "little secret" throughout the years one at a time and now we'd like to share it with you.

The time schedule may have to be moved a bit depending on your region; we are in the Carolinas.
