Do lawn mowing companies need to be licensed?

• <div><p>In most municipalities, lawn mowing companies only need a business license to operate. However, in some areas, landscaping companies must be licensed, insured, and bonded. Working with an unlicensed and uninsured company could mean you’re liable for any injuries on your property, which is a major risk that’s best to avoid. You can use Angi’s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">state license lookup tool</a> to ensure that a company holds the proper licensing in your area before hiring them.</p></div>

Q: Can pulling nutgrass make it worse?

• <div><p>Sometimes, pulling nutgrass can cause it to spread. If you do not discard the plant and rhizomes, the nutlets attached to the roots may each sprout. However, if you pull nutgrass repeatedly over the course of several weeks and discard the plant each time, it will weaken the plant significantly, eventually leading to its disappearance.</p></div>

Q: Why is St. Augustine grass so popular?

• <div><p>Despite being moderately high-maintenance, St. Augustine grass is popular for several reasons. The biggest properties that make this grass a winner for southeastern lawns include its salt, heat, humidity, and shade tolerance. This grass species is excellent for coastal regions with high humidity, mild winters, and salty skies. It&rsquo;s also easy to establish in yards.</p></div>

Q: How often should I cut grass in hot weather?

• <div><p>During normal temperatures, you should mow about once per week. However, if your grass is distressed by extreme heat, you should avoid mowing it altogether. Wait until after an irrigation session or rainfall. That way, your grass will be good and hydrated before you mow. Remember, you should not mow the grass when it&rsquo;s wet. Wait until it dries first.</p></div>

Q: Is carpetgrass the same thing as St. Augustine grass?

• <div><p>No, carpetgrass and St. Augustine grass are two different species. However this is a very common misconception and you may even find St. Augustine grass is mislabeled as carpetgrass. Carpetgrass does not have as much shade tolerance as St. Augustine grass, and has narrower blades with an alternating pattern (while St. Augustine grass has an opposite pattern). St. Augustine grass doesn&rsquo;t have the weedy, high seedheads that carpetgrass produces.</p></div>
