What is the best grass for striping?

• <div><p>In general, cool-season grasses such as <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-fescue-grass.htm">fescue grass</a>, ryegrass, and Kentucky bluegrass are best for creating a striped lawn. Warm-season grasses like bermuda and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-zoysia-grass.htm">zoysia grass </a>don't curl as much, so grass stripes aren't as easy to see. If you live in a climate that’s better suited for warm-season grass, zoysia grass will typically be your best option.</p></div>

Q: When should I cut the grass?

• <div><p>Mid-morning is one of the best times to cut the grass. By 10 a.m., the dew should have evaporated, and the lawn should be dry enough to cut. Cutting your grass at this time also allows your grass to recover before the heat sets in, making it more difficult and uncomfortable to mow.</p></div>

Q: How do you get rid of clumping grass?

• <div><p>The growth of tall fescue grass often causes clumps of grass in your lawn. Avoid pulling up the clumps, as it won&rsquo;t effectively remove them. Instead, dig out clumps and their roots when you notice them early in the growing season. Herbicides can also treat grass clumps, but they can also affect other plants you might not want to kill, so use them sparingly and always follow manufacturer instructions. </p></div>

Q: Can I handle lawn care myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible for small properties. Professional services ensure consistent quality and proper maintenance for large areas.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to pull weeds or spray them?

• <div><p>Ultimately, pulling weeds vs. spraying them depends on what&rsquo;s happening in your yard and your personal preferences. Manual weed removal doesn&rsquo;t introduce any chemicals into your landscape, targets specific problematic plants, produces immediate results, can be free if you go the DIY route, and is inexpensive with a weed service if you only have a handful of weeds. On the other hand, spraying is often preferable for severe weed infestations and situations involving difficult-to-pull weeds because it treats multiple weeds at once, is usually more effective long-term, is less time-consuming, and costs less when done by a pro.</p></div>

The two guys were very fast, efficient and cleaned up all of the mess. There was damage to one window screen, one panel of the patio door and missing part for the door which they are replacing and taking care of it for us. We were very pleased.
