Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

It’s best to mow your lawn in the early evening on a clear day. Avoid cutting your grass too early in the morning because it might still be damp with dew—and mowing your lawn when it’s wet is harder on your grass and your mower. Also, try not to mow during the hottest point of the day because the harsh sunlight and high temperatures can put extra stress on the grass.

On average, you should wait at least eight weeks after seeding to mow the new grass. You should wait to mow new grass until the new seed is rooted and grown. This timing can vary depending on your climate location, the amount of sunlight it gets, and how much water it receives.

It’s possible to over-mulch leaves. If the leaf mulch is thick enough that it’s blocking and smothering the grass, that’s a problem. Ideally, you should still be able to see the grass when you’re done mulching to ensure its ability to continue growing. The solution is to make another pass at the top layer of leaf mulch to collect some of the top layer.

Signs of overwatering in your lawn can include waterlogged or soggy soil, a perpetually damp surface, the presence of mushrooms or fungi, and grass that appears yellow or wilted. Overwatered grass often feels mushy underfoot, and you may notice an increase in pests like grubs. To avoid overwatering, ensure proper drainage with periodic lawn aeration and adjust your watering schedule to match your lawn's actual needs.

The look of an overwatered lawn is likely the first thing to tip you off. Overwatered lawns don’t look green and lush. They’ll often be yellowed and mushy or appear patchy and thinning. 

Most signs of an overwatered lawn are visual; if your grass looks off, the lawn is likely over or underwatered.
