Q: Does not mowing grass increase ticks?

• <div><p>Ticks prefer tall grass and seek out shady and moist areas. So, in some instances a no-mow lawn may increase tick population in your yard. This scenario is not ideal if you spend lots of time in your yard or if you have pets. If you spray pesticide then this can also harm the pollinators. However, you can make a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/homemade-fleas-tick-killer-yard.htm">DIY tick killer</a> with more natural ingredients to avoid using toxic chemicals. </p></div>

Q: Does fescue grass come back every year?

• <div><p>Yes! Fescue grass is a perennial that naturally regrows every spring. That&rsquo;s why we recommend <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/plant-grass-spring.htm">planting this grass variety in the spring</a> to jump into the ideal growing and regrowing schedule. Keep in mind that fescue grasses thrive in cooler and transitional areas, so some species do best in moderate climates below 90 and above 50 degrees Fahrenheit. </p></div>

Q: When can I mow after overseeding ryegrass?

• <div><p>Wait at least three weeks after overseeding ryegrass before breaking out the lawn mower. Mowing sooner will tear up much of the delicate, newly seeded ryegrass as it won't have established strong roots to anchor it yet.</p></div>

Q: Is St. Augustine grass hard to maintain?

• <div><p>St. Augustine is a hardy grass that&rsquo;s relatively easy to grow, but it requires <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/lawn-maintenance-checklist.htm">regular lawn maintenance</a> to stay healthy. It&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: How do you mow for beginners?

• <div><p>As a beginner, start by mowing your lawn in symmetrical rows by turning the mower at the end of each row and overlapping with the previous row. Use an edging tool or weedwacker to make your lawn look sharp and crisp around the edges, and then sweep the debris back into the yard. Take it slow, and know that you can adjust your approach or pattern the next time your grass needs a clip.</p></div>
