Spring

• Keep Celebration mowed between .5 and 1.5 inches.
• Apply pre-emergent herbicide. This will cut down on summer weeds.
• If you have experienced insect issues in the past, treat with broad-spectrum insecticide. If you use a granular insecticide, water the lawn immediately after application to help get it into the soil.
• Don’t overwater. In the active growing season, Celebration needs about 1” of water a week, from natural rainfall or irrigation. Too much water can cause fungus.
• Apply fungicide (if needed). If you have had a fungus or disease in your Celebration in the past or have quite a bit of shade in the yard, you should apply a systemic fungicide to prevent future outbreaks.

Summer

• When mowing, never remove more than 1/3 of the leaf blade at a time. If you need to cut more than 1/3, consider multiple cuts over 3-5 days.
• Do not over water the grass. Celebration only needs about 1” of water weekly. Water for longer periods of time, less frequently, and in the early morning hours. Take rainfall into consideration.

Fall

• Apply fungicide. This will help the grass enter colder months in healthier condition. If you have had fungus before, you may need multiple applications in affected areas.
• Treat with broad-spectrum insecticide. If you use a granular variety, water the lawn immediately after application to help get it into the soil.
• Mow less in cooler fall months. Leave your bermudagrass lawn slightly higher than normal to encourage deeper root growth for winter. Adjust mower settings up one notch.
• Water less. As temperatures drop grasses don’t need as much irrigation. Too much watering can lead to lawn disease.
• If you haven’t had past problems with winter weeds, you can forgo herbicide in the fall. If you do get winter weeds, apply a pre-emergent herbicide for prevention.
