Can you overwater your grass?

• <div><p>Yes, you can overwater your grass. Depending on your climate, it could be easier than you think. While water is an essential element for lawn growth, too much of it can actually damage its roots, leading to rot and other damage.</p><p>Whether your drip irrigation system leaks, it’s been a rainy summer, or you use the sprinkler too often, overwatering your lawn can drive up your water bill and impact the longevity of your lawn.</p></div>

Can you seed existing grass?

• <div><p>Adding seed to existing grass is often <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/overseed-lawn-guide.htm">known as overseeding</a>, as opposed to reseeding. Reseeding refers to the process of filling in bare or dying patches of lawn—or in some cases, full lawns—whereas reseeding supports existing lawns to prevent thinning. Overseeding is an ideal annual lawn care practice for grass fighting drought, disease, weeds, or pest issues.</p></div>

Which lawn treatments are the most important?

• <div><p>Mowing is one of the most important ways to maintain your lawn because it encourages grass to grow horizontally, creating a fuller, more uniform yard. On top of mowing your lawn, you’ll want to routinely fertilize your lawn, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-water-lawn.htm">water it regularly</a>, and take care of pests the moment they arise. </p></div>

Excellent! They come out every month. Payment spends on what you want them to do and how big your yard is. They take time with your yard. They are probably expensive but they are good.

We called for an estimate to have our yard dethached, plugged and slit-seeded. They told us that they did not de-thatch but the plugging would get rid of our brown thatch. We opted for them to go ahead and perform the service. We were mainly concerned about our back yard as this is where we...

We have them cut a house that we don't see all the time because we live in another state. I happen to be here when they cut the grass, and notice that they didn't cut the entire front yard, didn't cut the entire back yard, and did no weed eating at all. No wonder I have so much work to do when I...
