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: How do I maintain my lawn after aeration?

• <div><p>Water the lawn thoroughly, apply fertilizer, and overseed if necessary to promote healthy growth.</p></div>

Q: Should I water my grass after mowing?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s fine to water your grass after mowing, but it is advisable not to water your lawn before mowing. Wet grass will clump up and clog your lawn mower.</p></div>

Q: Is 7 a.m. too late to water grass?

• <div><p>Many experts say anytime before 10 a.m. is a good time to water grass, but this does depend a bit on the climate conditions where you live. For example, if you live in South Florida and it&rsquo;s already 95 degrees by 7:30 a.m., it may simply be too hot to effectively water your lawn, regardless of what the time is.</p></div>
