House & Home - Do You Know When to Water?

 

Did you know that only half of U.S. homeowners know the best time to water their lawn? With the fall lawn care season underway, LawnStarter surveyed over 1,000 U.S. homeowners about common lawn care misconceptions.

Top Findings:  Less than 1/4 of respondents know the ideal height to mow their grass. Nearly half of respondents with no schooling completed (47.62%) are liberal with their lawn fertilizer, incorrectly believing that “there is no such thing as too much fertilizer.” Folks making over $100,000 had the most confusion about misconception No. 10, with over 41.51% of respondents in this income bracket thinking it’s OK to mow a wet lawn.    For an in-depth look at the full survey results, including demographic-specific insights, click here: https://www.lawnstarter.com/blog/studies/lawn-care-myths-survey/  Free up your schedule this fall by hiring a local LawnStarter crew to manage your end-of-year lawn and landscape chores.
