Is St. Augustine grass hard to maintain?

• <div><p>St. Augustine is a hardy grass that’s relatively easy to grow, but it requires <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/lawn-maintenance-checklist.htm">regular lawn maintenance</a> to stay healthy. It’s best to keep up with a regular fertilization schedule during the growing season, plus a yearly dethatching to help it properly absorb air and moisture.

Q: Is it illegal to mow your lawn early in the morning?

• <div><p>No, it isn&rsquo;t illegal, but many cities and towns have noise ordinances that it could violate. Either way, it can still cause problems if it bothers your neighbors. For motor-powered lawnmowers, the general consensus for common courtesy is to wait until after 8 a.m. to mow your lawn. However, if you have a push mower, you should be safe to mow at any time of day, provided you don&rsquo;t make excessive noise in other ways.</p></div>

Q: How long do I have to wait before walking on the grass?

• <div><p>Grass is fragile, so try to wait eight weeks after laying seed to step on it. You might need to wait an entire season to drive your car across the driveway. Sod establishes itself in the ground in about two weeks. </p></div>

Q: When should I cut the grass?

• <div><p>Mid-morning is one of the best times to cut the grass. By 10 a.m., the dew should have evaporated, and the lawn should be dry enough to cut. Cutting your grass at this time also allows your grass to recover before the heat sets in, making it more difficult and uncomfortable to mow.</p></div>

Q: How often should I mulch leaves?

• <div><p>In general, expect to mulch your leaves about once or twice every fall. You want there to be a decent amount of leaves on the ground, but not too much where it&rsquo;s difficult for the mower to cut through. </p></div>

The team was very professional, quick, and provided top-notch work. Mark helped me plan the project and was very knowledgeable about the materials and local market for this type of project, and that showed in the quality and and care put into the project. Will definitely be working with them...

I thought their services were wonderful. I have had other lawn care providers who did a mediocre job. Whenever they cut my grass, I receive many compliments. Highly recommend their services!
