How much and how often should I be watering my Lawn?
Many lawns suffer from lack of watering. However, it is very possible to over-water your lawn and create fungus growths—especially if you’re not factoring in rainfall.
The most recommended watering schedule for lawns is three days per week in the early morning, assuming there is some rain during the week. If there is no rainfall within the week, supplement with a fourth watering. This reduces the amount of water lost to evaporation and prevents water from sitting long overnight which can cause fungus.
Aim for between a quarter-inch and half-an-inch of water at each session.

How often and what height should i be mowing my lawn
We recommend mowing to a height of three inches, measured from the soil to the top of the blade. never cutting more than 1/3 of the length of blades at any time. Keeping your grass at this height will help eliminate many problems—including most weeds—resulting in thicker, greener, softer lawn.
Mowing between every 6-12 days would be optimal.
