Q: When should I seek professional gardening services?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/beginning-home-gardening-guide.htm">DIY home gardening</a> can be relaxing, joyful, and cost-effective. From mowing your lawn to planting your own flower beds, there is a wide variety of gardening tasks that you can do yourself to make your yard look beautiful. If you&rsquo;d rather spend your time not in the dirt, or if you&rsquo;d like someone to take care of your plants for you, calling a professional gardening service is best. They can give you a workup of what services you&rsquo;ll need and how often to schedule them. </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>

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 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: Is there a wrong way to mow a lawn?

• <div><p>You can mow a lawn the wrong way by cutting off more than ⅓ of the grass's height, causing stress to the lawn and weak roots. If you don't cut your grass often enough, you&rsquo;ll get weeds and cause damage to your mower and grass. But if you regularly mow your lawn and create straight lines in alternating directions, you&rsquo;ll see great results.</p></div>
