The best way to keep weeds at bay is by maintaining a healthy lawn. Makes sense, right? The height of the grass is an indicator of the depth of its roots. So, mow tall.

A simple guideline: cut off only one-third of the height of the grass at a time. Longer grass reduces water evaporation and chokes out weed seeds from germinating.
