Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

Planting grass from seed requires time to grow before it can handle even light foot traffic. Most varieties require a minimum of three months before you can walk on them regularly. You can expect to wait at least one year before your lawn can hold up to heavy use. Because sod is already established, it can be walked on more quickly than grass planted from seed.

Your St. Augustine grass might look bad due to cold winter months, drought, pest invasion, or lawn disease. The first step is properly identifying the problem. Once you’ve figured out what’s making your grass look bad, you’ll need to employ the correct treatments. These treatments may include:

Properly mow your lawn and keep the clippings on the lawn as organic matter.
Use healthy irrigation techniques.
Use the right amount of fertilizer.
Keep up a good, regular maintenance routine.
Use fungicides.

There are a few ways to fix your lawn on a budget, including:

Identify the lawn care problem and learn how to seed, fertilize, and aerate your lawn.
Reseed old, damaged lawn with new grass that fares better in your environment.
Remove grass from your yard so you no longer need to worry about lawn care costs.

For the best results, plan on mowing about mid-morning. Give the grass enough time to dry out from any leftover dew and then mow. This way, the grass has the rest of the day to recover in the sunlight. Otherwise, mow in the afternoon once the heat of the day has passed.

DIY home gardening 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’d rather spend your time not in the dirt, or if you’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’ll need and how often to schedule them.
