Q: Can grass grow in 100% shade?

• <div><p>Even the most shade-tolerant turf grass needs at least three or four hours of full sunlight or a good amount of partial sunlight throughout the day. You might want to look at other gardening options for full shade, like plants that can survive in full shade, hardscaping, or structural architecture, to still get that yard of your dreams without compromising on your landscaping design. </p></div>

Q: Will grass fill in bare spots on its own?

• <div><p>Whether or not grass will fill in bare spots itself depends on the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-identify-lawn-grass.htm">type of grass you have</a>. For example, grass with rhizomes (e.g., Bermuda grass) and stolons (e.g., Saint Augustine grass) will naturally fill in bald spots as it spreads laterally. However, clump-forming grasses will not spread. </p></div>

Q: What should I keep in mind when seeding my lawn?

• <div><p>Whether you&rsquo;re putting down fresh seed or reseeding, there are a few things to keep in mind when seeding your lawn. Be sure to choose the correct seed for your climate, seed at the right time of year, and water two to three times a day for the first week. Generally, Dudley recommends <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/plant-grass-spring.htm">seeding in spring</a> and fall as it is usually cooler and rainier. </p></div>

Q: What do I do with holes after pulling weeds?

• <div><p>You can fill the holes weeds leave behind with soil or sand to avoid unsightly spots or tripping hazards. If you remove weeds from a grassy area, fill the hole with soil and grass seed, and water regularly to promote grass growth. </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>
