Should I water new grass immediately after cutting it?

• <div><p>Stick to your watering schedule. As long as new grass is getting plenty of water from irrigation, it shouldn’t need watering right after you cut it. Watch for signs like yellowing grass that shows a new lawn isn’t getting enough water and needs more regular irrigation. If you want to water after mowing, wait until the afternoon. Hot, direct sunlight can scorch grass more easily when it’s wet, so it’s better to wait until the day has cooled off.</p></div>

Q: How did orchard grass get in my lawn?

• <div><p>Orchard grass seeds can spread quite easily, traveling with the wind as well as birds and animals. Common grass seed packets, especially in the popular tall fescue variety, may contain the occasional orchard grass seed by accident. Always purchase high-quality turf grass seed without &quot;other crop seeds&quot; mixed in.</p></div>

Q: Why should I consider hiring a professional for lawn mowing?

• <div><p>Hiring a pro ensures consistent mowing at the correct height, promoting a healthier lawn and saving time for other activities.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to mow the lawn?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-lawn-mowing-cost.htm">cost to mow a lawn</a> is about <b>$125</b>, ranging between <b>$50 and $200</b> per cutting, depending on yard size. Other cost factors include the shape of your lawn, accessibility, lawn health, type of grass, length of grass, and frequency of the mowing schedule. The cost to cut your grass will also vary depending on where you live. If your landscaper has to maneuver around obstacles or deal with hard to reach areas and steep slopes, this will likely increase your total mowing costs.</p></div>

Q: How sharp should lawn mower blades be?

• <div><p>Lawn mower blades should be sharp enough that you can feel the sharpened edge, but not sharp enough to cut you when you touch them. Over-sharpening blades to a fine, razor-edge poses a safety risk and decreases the blade's life because it causes extra wear; the thinner edge is sharper but weaker and will require more frequent sharpening.</p></div>
