Discover the steps not to skip when caring for a lawn.
Does a lawn really need to be fertilized four times a year? Is watering every day helping or hurting the lawn? And how much of that advice on social media is good advice? This session breaks down research-based lawn care practices in plain language. Learn which steps truly matter, which ones are optional, and how to choose a level of lawn care that fits individual goals, budget, and time — whether the desire is a low-maintenance yard or a more polished look.
Presenter: Chris Enroth, horticulture educator, Illinois Extension
