Q: What should I consider when caring for my lawn?

• <div><p>Lawn care is tough work&mdash;even when you hire pros, there&rsquo;s no <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-dead-grass-your-lawn-inevitable.htm">guarantee your grass won&rsquo;t die</a> (unless, of course, your company offers a guarantee). But lawn care companies don&rsquo;t control the rain or watering restrictions. Your type of grass also impacts the type of care required to keep a lush lawn&mdash;and how much that care costs. Talk to a lawn care pro to determine the best times to treat your lawn based on type of grass and your climate. </p></div>

Q: When is the best time to top dress my lawn?

• <div><p>The best time to top dress your lawn depends on what type of grass you have and what climate you live in. Cool-season grass should be top dressed in late fall, while warm-season grass should be top dressed in late spring.</p></div>

Q: Which lawn treatments are the most important?

• <div><p>Mowing is one of the most important ways to maintain your lawn because it encourages grass to grow horizontally, creating a fuller, more uniform yard. On top of mowing your lawn, you&rsquo;ll want to routinely fertilize your lawn, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-water-lawn.htm">water it regularly</a>, and take care of pests the moment they arise. </p></div>

Q: Is carpetgrass the same as crabgrass?

• <div><p>Technically no, but they can look very similar and people often refer to the weedy grasses interchangeably. However, several differences keep these species separate. Crabgrass is often a darker color than carpetgrass and tends to sprout much earlier in spring. When allowed to grow out, crabgrass grows stems outward from the center of a stalk in a star-like pattern, which carpetgrass does not have.</p></div>

Q: Can you permanently get rid of nutgrass?

• <div><p>The first step is killing any current nutgrass plants, either through application of herbicides or sugar, by digging up the plants and rhizomes, or by using soil solarization. To discourage new nutgrass plants from forming, ensure <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-landscape-drainage.htm">proper landscape drainage</a> and bring shade into areas of the lawn that are consistently damp.</p></div>

Brought in to help with a misbehaving vacuum pressure breaker I installed. Turned out all I needed was a few minutes with a screwdriver! (I was expecting to have to re-do my DYI installation or get a different device). He was honest and saved me a ton of time and money!
