Q: How long before a new lawn can handle heavy traffic?

• <div><p>Planting grass from seed requires time to grow before it can handle even light foot traffic. Most varieties require a minimum of<b> three months</b> before you can walk on them regularly. You can expect to wait at least one year before your lawn can hold up to heavy use. Because sod is already established, it can be walked on more quickly than grass planted from seed.</p></div>

Q: How can I identify signs of overwatering my lawn?

• <div><p>Signs of overwatering in your lawn can include waterlogged or soggy soil, a perpetually damp surface, the presence of mushrooms or fungi, and grass that appears yellow or wilted. Overwatered grass often feels mushy underfoot, and you may notice an increase in pests like grubs. To avoid overwatering, ensure proper drainage with <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-aerate-lawn.htm">periodic lawn aeration</a> and adjust your watering schedule to match your lawn's actual needs. </p></div>

Q: Why is my buffalo grass turning brown?

• <div><p>Buffalo grass starts to turn brown when encountering drought during the normal growing season. You can water the grass when you begin to notice some browning to prevent it from going dormant. Additionally, buffalo grass turns brown after the first freeze of late autumn or early winter, and this is a natural time for the grass to go dormant.</p></div>

Q: How do I make my ryegrass thicker?

• <div><p>Make your ryegrass thicker by boosting soil health. Add organic matter, aerate the lawn if the soil is compacted, fertilize appropriately, and see if your lawn needs dethatching. Your local lawn care service can come and look at your lawn and provide specific advice and remedies for your lawn issues.</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>
