Q: What should I do if I cut my grass too short?

• <div><p>If your grass is stressed from being over-trimmed, try watering it heavily and then allowing it to recover for at least two weeks before mowing again. If you notice <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-brown-patches-my-grass.htm">brown patches</a> where the grass has died off because it&rsquo;s too short, you should remove the dead grass and overseed the area. Leaving dead patches can invite weeds and other problems, so if you want a totally green lawn, getting rid of dead patches should include removing the dead sections before reseeding the area.</p></div>

Q: Why is my Bermuda grass so thin?

• <div><p>There are several possible reasons why your Bermuda grass is not thick, with the biggest reasons being too little water, too much shade, compacted soil, drainage issues, and too few nutrients in the soil. Bermuda grass needs frequent and direct sunlight to stay thick, so thinning grass is likely the result of a lack of sun. </p></div>

Q: Should I leave grass clippings on a new lawn?

• <div><p>You can leave grass clippings on the lawn, depending on their length. You don&rsquo;t want to completely cover new grass and block it from sunlight, or encourage moss crowd out the more delicate grass. However, short clippings are usually fine to leave on the lawn. In some cases, they can be beneficial: Clippings can be a source of fertilizer and help protect the ground as young grass blades develop.</p></div>

Q: What if I water my grass too much in winter?

• <div><p>If you accidentally watered your grass too much during the winter months, try <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-lawn-aeration.htm">aerating your lawn</a> to encourage absorption of the water into the soil and improve drainage. Dethatching your lawn can also help the solid recover from overwatering and encourage healthy root and stalk health in your grass.</p></div>

Q: Does Bermuda grass spread?

• <div><p>Bermuda grass is one of the fastest-growing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/warm-or-cool-season-grass-right-choice-your-lawn.htm">warm-season grasses</a> because of its system of aboveground stems (stolons) and below-ground stems (rhizomes). Adequate water and sunlight in a warmer climate will nurture the spread of Bermuda grass. This rapid growth rate makes Bermuda grass resilient and effective at choking weeds. However, this aggressive advancement can also make the grass difficult to contain and control.</p></div>
