Q: Why does my St. Augustine grass look bad?

• <div><p>Your St. Augustine grass might look bad due to cold winter months, drought, pest invasion, or lawn disease. The first step is properly identifying the problem. Once you&rsquo;ve figured out what&rsquo;s making your grass look bad, you&rsquo;ll need to employ the correct treatments. These treatments may include:</p><ul><li><p>Properly mow your lawn and keep the clippings on the lawn as organic matter.</p></li><li><p>Use healthy irrigation techniques.</p></li><li><p>Use the right amount of fertilizer.</p></li><li><p>Keep up a good, regular maintenance routine.</p></li><li><p>Use fungicides.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What should I consider when caring for my lawn?

• <div><p>Lawn care is tough work&mdash;even when you hire pros, there&rsquo;s no <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-dead-grass-your-lawn-inevitable.htm">guarantee your grass won&rsquo;t die</a> (unless, of course, your company offers a guarantee). But lawn care companies don&rsquo;t control the rain or watering restrictions. Your type of grass also impacts the type of care required to keep a lush lawn&mdash;and how much that care costs. Talk to a lawn care pro to determine the best times to treat your lawn based on type of grass and your climate. </p></div>

Q: Is it worth paying for professional lawn care?

• <div><p>In most cases, it is worth paying for professional lawn care. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/spring-lawn-care-and-landscaping-tips.htm">DIY lawn maintenance</a> is possible, but it can get extremely time-consuming, especially to make your property look well-maintained. Not only is lawn maintenance time-intensive, but it can also get expensive, even to DIY, especially considering the cost of fuel and maintenance for your lawn care tools. Professional lawn care services average around <b>$100 per service</b>, making it a relatively inexpensive investment, especially for how much time it saves you.</p></div>

Q: How often should lawn aeration be performed?

• <div><p>Generally once yearly or twice if the lawn experiences high traffic or is part of heavy clay soils.</p></div>

Q: What should I put on my lawn in the spring?

• <div><p>You should put pre-emergent herbicide and fertilizer on your lawn in the spring. Pre-emergent herbicide keeps weeds from taking root. Fertilizer helps your grass to grow lush and dense and blocks future weeds from growing. You can also add amendments, such as sulfur and lime, to enhance your soil quality. </p></div>
