Lawn Care Tips to Protect the Watershed Grass clippings and leaves contain phosphorus and other nutrients that, like fertilizer, are harmful to groundwater. Help do your part to protect our watershed: • Cut your grass at a height of 3 inches or higher and keep your mower blades sharp. • Leave grass clippings on your lawn; “grasscycling” will provide nutrients to the soil and reduce the amount of fertilizer needed to maintain the lawn. • Don’t overwater your lawn, which increases the chances of groundwater pollution from fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides washing into stormdrains. • Fertilize your lawn using the proper fertilizer composition and at a minimum application.
