Q: How often should I mulch leaves?

• <div><p>In general, expect to mulch your leaves about once or twice every fall. You want there to be a decent amount of leaves on the ground, but not too much where it&rsquo;s difficult for the mower to cut through. </p></div>

Q: Should you remove grass wet or dry?

• <div><p>Depending on the method you choose to remove grass, it may or may not matter whether the grass is wet or dry when you perform the task. A dryer lawn will be easier to negotiate with a sod cutter, especially if you're not planning to reuse the turf. However, using a shovel by hand might be a little easier if the ground is slightly damp but not so much that it sticks to the tool. </p></div>

Q: How much do lawn mowing companies charge?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-lawn-mowing-cost.htm">average professional lawn mowing cost</a> is <b>$120 per visit</b>, but the cost can range from <b>$50 to $200</b>, depending on factors like lawn size, frequency of service, and grass height. If your lawn mowing company charges by square foot, you can expect to pay <b>$0.01 to $0.06 per square foot</b> or <b>$150 to $200 per acre</b>. Keep in mind that these prices only include routine lawn maintenance, including mowing and edging. You could pay <b>$400</b> or more for additional services, like raking leaves, weeding garden beds, trimming trees, and applying pesticides or weedkillers.</p></div>

Q: Is it OK to mulch leaves with a lawn mower?

• <div><p>Yes, it's perfectly safe and environmentally sound to mulch leaves with a lawn mower, provided that the layer of leaves isn't too thick and the leaves are dry and crispy. Too many wet leaves get sticky and will clog the mower. Thick layers of leaves can suffocate the lawn after the leaves have been mulched, so the layer should be no more than six inches thick.</p></div>

Q: How do I keep my lawn green in a drought?

• <div><p>First, make sure you&rsquo;re watering your grass early in the morning (and keep in mind you don&rsquo;t have to water every day). Doing this helps ensure the water is able to soak in before the hot temps evaporate all of the water. Also, when you mow, don&rsquo;t mow your grass as short as you would in non-drought conditions. Taller grass can help slow down the rate at which soil dries out. Finally, take your leftover lawn clippings and spread them out across the lawn to give it a little extra shade and nutrients.</p></div>
