Keep your lawn healthy and reduce weeds through proper mowing.  Mow high and often, removing no more than 1/3 the total height at each cutting.  Make sure the blades are sharp and alternate mowing patterns to avoid excess compaction and wear.  Leave short clippings on the lawn adding moisture, nutrients and organic matter to the soil.
