"Arranged for nutsedge eradication today during regular service. That sprayed for broadleaf weeds which I didn?t need but neglected to spray for nutsedge. I called office but they won?t come back until next regular service in two weeks. I guess it?s too much trouble for them."

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

St. Augustine is a hardy grass that’s relatively easy to grow, but it requires regular lawn maintenance to stay healthy. It’s best to keep up with a regular fertilization schedule during the growing season, plus a yearly dethatching to help it properly absorb air and moisture. Watering is also important, so be sure to water it enough to keep the soil moist.

A quick search online may recommend that you give your dog apple cider vinegar to help decrease the pH level of your dog’s urine. This method won’t help your yard, though. Most turf grasses thrive on slightly acidic soil, so apple cider vinegar won’t make much of a difference. 

The main cause of grass death by dog urine isn’t the pH level anyway—it’s usually the excessive amount of nitrogen that kills your grass.

Herbicide application, manual removal, and landscape fabric are common approaches.

DIY is possible for small properties. Professional services ensure consistent quality and proper maintenance for large areas.

Lime isn't a fertilizer. Instead, it helps fertilizers, plant food, and naturally occurring nutrients reach the grass by boosting the pH level in acidic soils. While adding lime isn't a crucial task in some locations, it's vital to keeping a lawn healthy in many areas. Lime's ability to encourage healthy grass by making nutrients in the soil more effective makes the task worth the effort, regardless of location.
