Wisconsin lawn care
Wisconsin lawn care: find your grass, plan mowing and seasonal repairs, and check watering, soil and local growing conditions before treating a patch.
Separate dormant, shaded and newly repaired Wisconsin lawns
Wisconsin’s lawn calendar treats drought dormancy differently from keeping an established lawn green. Use the guide for your existing grass, then add a watering or shade check for the affected area. Record conditions before changing the whole lawn’s routine.

Check Wisconsin phosphorus eligibility before a fertilizer purchase
Keep establishment records or the dated deficiency report with the area being treated. DATCP’s fact sheet limits the soil-test exception to 36 months; permitted use does not establish that phosphorus is needed. Read its full scope and exclusions, and remove fertilizer from paving without washing it into drains.
