Q: Should I mow or water first?

• <div><p>You should mow your lawn first and water it afterward, in most cases. You should not mow when your lawn it&rsquo;s wet as it could clog the blades. If you haven't been watering your lawn for an extended time or your area is experiencing a drought, water your grass first. Mowing thin, wispy grass can be difficult, so allow it to become fuller and thicker before mowing. Once it looks more lush and dry, go ahead and mow.</p></div>

Q: How long do I have to wait before walking on the grass?

• <div><p>Grass is fragile, so try to wait eight weeks after laying seed to step on it. You might need to wait an entire season to drive your car across the driveway. Sod establishes itself in the ground in about two weeks. </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>

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.
