Lawn Care-Dandelions can easily take over an entire lawn Lawn Care-Raising your mower's blade can help  fight weeds Lawn Care-The spreader and bags of fertilizer
Dandelions' seeds can easily spread in the springtime breezes. Before long, your yard can be overrun. Raising your lawn mower's blade to 2.5 inches is a great way to combat the problem, as a lush lawn can repeal weeds easier. The next step to fight the spread of dandelions and other weeds is to use a weed and feed product, which is used with a fertilizer spreader.

The appropriate spreader setting can be found on the back of the fertilizer bag. Set the dial on the spreader to correspond with the specified setting. Fill the spreader with enough fertilizer to cover your yard, as specified on the bag.
     
Lawn Care-Spreader's edge guard in action Lawn Care-Ron fertilizing the yard Lawn Care-Fertilize when the lawn is wet for maximum absorption
An edge guard helps to send the fertilizer where you need it, and keeps it out of your flower beds and driveway. With the edge guard enabled, start by fertilizing the perimeter of your yard first, and then work your way towards the center. Make sure that you apply the fertilizer when the yard is wet. This ensures maximum absorption and effectiveness.
