Make sure you use a spreader to ensure fertilizer is spread evenly. Thatch, edge and weed as needed. To get a nice fragrance in your lawn you may want to try mixing in some sweet vernal grass.

They pack so tightly together that light is unable to get through. But they do make an excellent mulch and natural weed killer for under trees and shrubs.      If you need to use weed killers you should do so now while the grass is growing rapidly. Do not use a weed killer if your soil is too wet, to dry or if you have a new lawn. Do not mow your lawn for at least a week after an application. Never put grass clippings in your compost after a treatment.  Make sure your mower blades are sharp when mowing your lawn. If the blade is dull it will rip the young seedlings from the soil.   Each time you cut your grass change the direction of your mowing. Use a cress cross pattern.
