How do I maintain my sodded yard?

• <div><p>When your sod is new, you should keep an eye on it to prevent dehydration. As new sod plants its roots into the soil beneath it, it can easily get dehydrated and start to turn brown. Keeping a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-water-lawn.htm">consistent watering schedule</a> for your new sod will help prevent this issue and will help it thrive as it roots into your yard.</p><p>Once your sod is about six weeks old, you can start to establish a regular lawn maintenance routine, complete with mowing, edging, and fertilizing. </p></div>

Does mowing get rid of chiggers?

• <div><p>Chiggers thrive in overgrown lawns, so regular mowing will deter these annoying mites. It may not remove every single chigger, however, so follow that up with weeding and trimming any nearby trees and bushes. Pay special attention to moist, shady spots, as these are a chigger’s preferred habitat. When all else fails, sprinkle your yard with diatomaceous earth. It kills chiggers by dehydrating their exoskeletons. Diatomaceous earth is basically ground-up shells, so there’s no risk of injury to animals.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to water your lawn in the morning or at night?

• <div><p>Whether you're manually watering your lawn with a hose or using an irrigation system, it's always best to water the grass in the morning. It may not seem like it makes a difference, but nighttime is colder and winds are likely to be stronger. Strong winds will push the water droplets away from the grass, and the temperature will be too low for the water to evaporate, and thus get absorbed by the soil. However, watering the lawn during peak afternoon sun does the opposite, and the water evaporates too quickly.</p></div>

Q: Does Bermuda grass spread?

• <div><p>Bermuda grass is one of the fastest-growing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/warm-or-cool-season-grass-right-choice-your-lawn.htm">warm-season grasses</a> because of its system of aboveground stems (stolons) and below-ground stems (rhizomes). Adequate water and sunlight in a warmer climate will nurture the spread of Bermuda grass. This rapid growth rate makes Bermuda grass resilient and effective at choking weeds. However, this aggressive advancement can also make the grass difficult to contain and control.</p></div>

Q: How much does professional lawn care cost?

• <div><p>Routine <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-landscaping-cost.htm#">lawn care costs</a> between <b>$50 and $250</b> per service, with an average of around <b>$100</b>. Most homeowners need one service per week through the spring and summer, and many switch to snow removal services in the winter. The price you&rsquo;ll pay will depend on a few different factors:</p><ul><li><p>Size of your lawn</p></li><li><p>Complexity of your lawn layout and obstructions</p></li><li><p>Requested services </p></li><li><p>Home&rsquo;s location</p></li><li><p>How quickly your grass grows</p></li></ul><p></p></div>
