Q: Is carpetgrass the same thing as St. Augustine grass?

• <div><p>No, carpetgrass and St. Augustine grass are two different species. However this is a very common misconception and you may even find St. Augustine grass is mislabeled as carpetgrass. Carpetgrass does not have as much shade tolerance as St. Augustine grass, and has narrower blades with an alternating pattern (while St. Augustine grass has an opposite pattern). St. Augustine grass doesn&rsquo;t have the weedy, high seedheads that carpetgrass produces.</p></div>

Q: How long after top dressing can I mow?

• <div><p>You should wait about seven to 10 days after you top dress your lawn to mow. This will give the ground ample time to absorb the nutrients from the sand, topsoil, and compost, and help facilitate growth before you trim the existing grass. It&rsquo;s also best to water the lawn frequently in the week or so after you top dress and before you mow.</p></div>

Q: Does it matter if you edge or mow first?

• <div><p>When you&rsquo;re ready to edge your lawn, mowing your grass first is better. By mowing it, you&rsquo;ll know whether you&rsquo;ll need to trim it more along the edges later. If you edge your lawn first, it can result in bare patches, giving it an inconsistent finish. Plus, mowing first really diminishes the look of a freshly edged lawn.</p></div>

Q: Do professionals offer seasonal maintenance?

• <div><p>Yes, many services provide preseason checks and winterizing to ensure year-round efficiency.</p></div>

Q: Is Bermuda grass good for lawns?

• <div><p>Many homeowners in warmer climates like this resilient, hearty grass because it can tolerate excessive heat and drought while developing into a lush lawn. Unlike other grasses, Bermuda grass grows and spreads quickly and can withstand excessive foot traffic. But whether Bermuda grass is good for lawns may depend on your geographic location, as this grass has a low tolerance for cooler temperatures, which causes it to go dormant and turn brown in the winter months.</p></div>
