Don't fall for every lawn care trend you see online.

Spraying Blue DEF on your lawn might give you a quick burst of green, but that's about where the benefits end. During the hottest part of summer, your lawn doesn't need a rush of fast-release nitrogen that encourages excessive top growth.

Instead, feed your lawn with a quality fertilizer that contains slow or controlled-release nitrogen, potassium to help it handle heat and drought stress, and iron for rich green color that lasts.

A healthy lawn isn't about the fastest green-up—it's about building stronger turf that can make it through summer.

Crabgrass Is Everywhere Right Now... Here's What You Need to Know

Notice crabgrass popping up all over your lawn?

Now is the time to make sure you're using the **right** product. Instead of grabbing just any w**d killer, check the active ingredient list and look for **quinclorac**. It's one of the go-to options for post-emergent crabgrass control in established lawns. The younger the crabgrass, the easier it is to control, so don't wait too long. Always follow the product label for your specific lawn.

Have you started seeing crabgrass yet this summer?
