Lawn care tips
Short notes for a Cheyenne lawn. The season is short, frost comes early and late, and the grasses that live here are cool-season. These are the notes we are pointing at right now.
We do not spray pesticides or herbicides. Where a timing or a measurement matters, the note points at CSU Extension, UW Extension, or the Cheyenne Board of Public Utilities.
Current guides
Salt, plows, and the edge of the lawn
Shovel first, keep de-icer on the pavement, and mark paver edges before a blade comes through.
