What can I put on my grass to make it green?

• <div><p>There are plenty of products to help green up your grass. Try an iron supplement spray or fertilizer that is rich in nitrogen. You can also apply a thin layer of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-make-compost.htm">compost on top of your lawn</a> at the beginning of spring to give the grass a nutrition boost, which helps it achieve that bright color you are looking for. </p></div>

Does mowing get rid of chiggers?

• <div><p>Chiggers thrive in overgrown lawns, so regular mowing will deter these annoying mites. It may not remove every single chigger, however, so follow that up with weeding and trimming any nearby trees and bushes. Pay special attention to moist, shady spots, as these are a chigger’s preferred habitat. When all else fails, sprinkle your yard with diatomaceous earth. It kills chiggers by dehydrating their exoskeletons. Diatomaceous earth is basically ground-up shells, so there’s no risk of injury to animals.</p></div>

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

Water regularly, avoid heavy foot traffic, and clear debris promptly to support lawn health.

Yes—hiring a professional lawn care company is worth it if you don’t have much free time to devote to lawn care. Lawn care pros will ensure that your lawn receives the vital nutrients it needs to grow and thrive, and you’re guaranteed to have a healthy, beautiful lawn. Aside from that, it’s a convenient service that frees up your time so you can do the things you love and enjoy.

The best way to clean an overgrown yard is to create a multi-stage game plan, from clearing out the debris to cleaning up the edges around hardscaping and landscape curbing. Get rid of yard debris like worn furniture and broken tools first, then start trimming and raking what’s left. Mow the grass, trim the hedges, and rake leaves away. Once that’s complete, move on to more detailed work, like pulling weeds and replanting gardens.

There are plenty of products to help green up your grass. Try an iron supplement spray or fertilizer that is rich in nitrogen. You can also apply a thin layer of compost on top of your lawn at the beginning of spring to give the grass a nutrition boost, which helps it achieve that bright color you are looking for.

It may not remove every single chigger, however, so follow that up with weeding and trimming any nearby trees and bushes.
