On 9/9/2020 I had a phone conversation with Joe Hall, a Kemko manger. We talked about 4 weeds growing in my yard in which one of them needed a "kill all' herbicide to get rid of it. That means it would also kill my grass and he needed me to sign a waiver before treatment. On Oct. 14, Joe still...

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

You can thicken new grass by using fertilizer, watering it 1 to 1½ 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.

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.

Post-dethatching, lawn recovery includes watering, fertilizing, and reseeding as necessary to restore health and promote growth.

Carpetgrass is distinguishable by its pale green to yellowish color and coarse appearance that grows well under shady conditions in poor and compact soils. If it grows uncontrolled, it tends to develop a hairy seedhead, giving patches of grass a messy appearance. If carpetgrass is regularly cut, it looks very similar to centipedegrass and St. Augustine grass, and people may confuse them. Carpetgrass blades are flat and rounded at the tip. Note that the grass only typically grows as a weed in Southern states.

St. Augustine is a hardy grass that’s relatively easy to grow, but it requires regular lawn maintenance to stay healthy. It’s best to keep up with a regular fertilization schedule during the growing season, plus a yearly dethatching to help it properly absorb air and moisture. Watering is also important, so be sure to water it enough to keep the soil moist.
