00:00A healthy green lawn can add value to your property, create a space for entertainment and even help absorb pollution.

00:06Here are some tips to grow a lawn you're proud of.

00:09First, mow high, meaning set the blade of your lawnmower for a 2.5 to 3-inch cut, or about 10 centimeters.

00:16This will help a strong root system to develop and discourage weeds.

00:20Next, watch out for weeds, insects or disease.

00:24They are much easier to manage if you stay on top of the problem.

00:27Careful use of urban pesticides designed, tested and approved for residential use can help.

00:33Finally, water wisely.

00:35Water your lawn early in the morning so you lose less moisture to evaporation.

00:40Waiting until evening could leave your lawn vulnerable to disease.

00:44Instead of watering daily, try a deeper watering 1 to 3 times a week.

00:49This encourages deeper root growth, which helps your lawn survive in drier conditions.
