Spring lawn care season is here! 🌱☀️
Did you know that simple lawn care practices can help protect Abington’s ponds, streams, and groundwater? Excess fertilizer and overwatering can wash nutrients into local waterways, leading to algae blooms and water quality issues.
A few easy tips for a healthier lawn and cleaner water:
✔️ Water only as needed — about 1” per week
✔️ Mow grass at least 3” high
✔️ Leave grass clippings on the lawn
✔️ Test your soil before applying fertilizer
✔️ Avoid fertilizing before heavy rain
Together, we can keep our lawns green and our water clean. 💧
