Q: How many miles per hour can you mow?

• <div><p>Depending on your lawn mower type, you can mow anywhere from 2.5 to 13 miles per hour (mph). A simple push lawn mower will take the longest to mow at 2.5 mph, which is just under the average walking pace. Riding mowers can go significantly faster. Rear engines come in at around 5 mph, tractors come in at just shy of 8 mph, and zero-turn mowers come in at the fastest speed of 13 mph.</p></div>

Q: How wet is too wet to mow grass?

• <div><p>Any amount of wetness is too much to mow grass, including morning dew. When you mow wet grass, you&rsquo;re more likely to damage your grass blades and your mower. Fungal diseases are more likely to grow and spread, and you could tear your blades instead of cutting them crisply, leading to brown tips. It&rsquo;s best to wait until your grass is dry to mow and keep up with <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/8-maintenance-tips-keep-your-lawn-mower-running.htm">lawn mower maintenance</a>.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of buffalo grass?

• <div><p>Buffalo grass does not turn green as early in the spring as some other grasses. If you have a heavily shaded yard, buffalo grass may not receive enough sunlight to thrive. It&rsquo;s not as dense as some other grass varieties, so it may not feel as comfortable on bare feet.</p></div>

Q: How do you thicken new grass?

• <div><p>You can thicken new grass by <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-fertilizer.htm">using fertilizer</a>, watering it 1 to 1&frac12; inches per week, mowing when it is at an optimal height, and preventing weeds. You should fertilize your grass while you plant the grass seed, or soon afterward. Use an herbicide to prevent weeds or spot spray with herbicide to kill existing weeds.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to pull weeds or spray them?

• <div><p>Ultimately, pulling weeds vs. spraying them depends on what&rsquo;s happening in your yard and your personal preferences. Manual weed removal doesn&rsquo;t introduce any chemicals into your landscape, targets specific problematic plants, produces immediate results, can be free if you go the DIY route, and is inexpensive with a weed service if you only have a handful of weeds. On the other hand, spraying is often preferable for severe weed infestations and situations involving difficult-to-pull weeds because it treats multiple weeds at once, is usually more effective long-term, is less time-consuming, and costs less when done by a pro.</p></div>
