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: Does buffalo grass spread easily?

• <div><p>Buffalo grass spreads through both underground roots and above-ground stolons. The widespread root and stolon system makes up for this grass&rsquo;s overall lack of density. It&rsquo;s a hearty grass, so it spreads on its own slowly, especially considering that most of the male (no staminate) varieties of grass are sterile. You may think about over-maintaining your lawn to encourage growth, but this would have the opposite effect.</p></div>

Q: How can I reduce my landscaping costs?

• <div><p>To reduce landscaping costs, you can implement several strategies at every stage. Consider doing the work yourself (DIY) to save on professional labor fees. You can also repurpose existing features and materials from other home projects. When purchasing new items, choose more inexpensive materials and opt for softscaping over hardscaping where possible. Another effective method is to buy young plants or plant from seed, which is more cost-effective than purchasing mature plants.</p></div>

Q: When should you cut grass for the first time in spring?

• <div><p>When spring arrives, it&rsquo;s best to hold off on mowing until temperatures have consistently reached a temperature of at least <b>40 degrees Fahrenheit</b>. Attempting to mow grass that hasn't fully thawed from its winter dormancy can harm the delicate blades. Ensure your grass is dry before mowing and aim to mow when the grass is about three to four inches tall, trimming no more than one-third of the grass blade's height at a time. This timing encourages healthy growth and prevents shock to the grass, preparing your lawn for a happy, healthy growing season.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if my lawn mower can handle leaves?

• <div><p>A standard home lawn mower with sharp blades can handle a thin layer of leaves without issue. You may need to make a couple of passes within several days to mulch leaves down, but your mower shouldn&rsquo;t struggle. If your mower comes with a mulching kit, like an attachment to blow leaves out the side, that&rsquo;s a good sign it&rsquo;s ready for fall leaves. Set your mower to the highest or near-highest height for this project so it focuses on the leaves rather than the grass below.</p></div>
