How do I keep my lawn green in a drought?

• <div><p>First, make sure you’re watering your grass early in the morning (and keep in mind you don’t have to water every day). Doing this helps ensure the water is able to soak in before the hot temps evaporate all of the water. Also, when you mow, don’t mow your grass as short as you would in non-drought conditions. Taller grass can help slow down the rate at which soil dries out. Finally, take your leftover lawn clippings and spread them out across the lawn to give it a little extra shade and nutrients.</p></div>

Why did my grass suddenly turn yellow?

• <div><p>A lawn that suddenly and quickly turns yellow is typically the result of a dramatic change in the grass's environment. Heavy rainfall can dilute soil nutrients, rapidly yellowing the grass, and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-sharpening-lawn-mower-blades.htm">dull lawn mower blades</a> can dry out and damage the grass in a short time. Over-fertilizing can yellow a lawn within a matter of days. </p></div>

When should I aerate my own lawn?

• <div><p>It’s a good idea to aerate your lawn in the fall or spring when there is plenty of moisture in the soil. If you plan to aerate twice annually, you can do so once in the fall and once in the spring. You don’t want to aerate when your grass is dormant, and you also don’t want to aerate directly after a big rain, as the soil will be too wet for the aeration to be effective.</p></div>

Q: How long does lawn aeration take?

• <div><p>Aeration typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on the size of the lawn and the equipment used.</p></div>

Q: What is the screwdriver test for a lawn?

• <div><p>The screwdriver test involves trying to push a screwdriver into your lawn. If it goes in easily, you&rsquo;re likely overwatering and should cut back. If there&rsquo;s moderate resistance, you have a good watering schedule and soil composition. If there&rsquo;s a lot of resistance or you can&rsquo;t get the screwdriver into the soil, you may need to aerate your lawn to reduce compaction and increase your watering schedule.</p></div>

They showed up to give us the bid and then did the work. The yard looked great. The neighbor had him do some work for them also. They were prompt and they cleaned up when they were done.

They do well on simple jobs. I wouldn't have them work on the furnace again as they didn't seem to understand it correctly. Really good at yard work and snow clearing and simple electrical work.
