What is the best grass for striping?

• <div><p>In general, cool-season grasses such as <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-fescue-grass.htm">fescue grass</a>, ryegrass, and Kentucky bluegrass are best for creating a striped lawn. Warm-season grasses like bermuda and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-zoysia-grass.htm">zoysia grass </a>don't curl as much, so grass stripes aren't as easy to see. If you live in a climate that’s better suited for warm-season grass, zoysia grass will typically be your best option.</p></div>

Q: How often should I mow my lawn?

• <div><p>Every lawn is different, but mowing at least once a week is a good goal to stick to. If you&rsquo;re seeing a lot of rain, or if you&rsquo;re fertilizing your grass, you may need to mow as often as every four days. Either way, always follow the one-third rule: Never mow more than one-third of your grass height at once, as this can weaken it and prevent it from taking in all the proper nutrients from the soil. </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: Does Bahia grass spread and how fast?

• <div><p>Yes, Bahia grass spreads on its own thanks to its short stolon system. However, it might not seem like your Bahia grass spreads well due to its slow growth. Bahia grass takes around 3 to 4 weeks to germinate and an additional two weeks to grow thicker. </p><p>During this time, fast-growing, competitive weeds may pop up, so <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/homemade-weed-killer.htm">weed your lawn</a> to give your Bahia grass a chance to grow. This grass can take up to two years to become established. Once established, Bahia grass typically does well in suitable climates.</p></div>

Q: How fast does St. Augustine grass grow?

• <div><p>St. Augustine grass grows fast thanks to its dense mat-like structure and vigorous root system. If you've laid St. Augustine sod, it'll put down roots, get itself established, and start to spread in 14 days.</p></div>

I hired Double B to grind some stumps in my backyard. Stumps were taken care of and he graded my backyard as well all in a days time. Excellent work for a fair price.
