How do I maintain my sodded yard?

• <div><p>When your sod is new, you should keep an eye on it to prevent dehydration. As new sod plants its roots into the soil beneath it, it can easily get dehydrated and start to turn brown. Keeping a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-water-lawn.htm">consistent watering schedule</a> for your new sod will help prevent this issue and will help it thrive as it roots into your yard.</p><p>Once your sod is about six weeks old, you can start to establish a regular lawn maintenance routine, complete with mowing, edging, and fertilizing. </p></div>

Q: Is Bahia grass hard to grow?

• <div><p>Bahia grass is not difficult to grow, but you might need patience for this slow-growing grass. Whereas some grass species, like Bermuda grass, can take 1 to 2 weeks to germinate, Bahia grass can take two or three times as long, making it seem like it won&rsquo;t grow. But again, once your Bahia grass is established, it requires little maintenance. Its deep root system makes it a very durable grass that can bounce back after freezes and droughts. </p></div>

Q: Will grass turn green again after drought?

• <div><p>It depends on the condition of the grass during the drought. If your grass completely died, it won&rsquo;t turn green again after drought. However, if it just went dormant, you still have a chance to revive your lawn once drought conditions have passed. Follow proper lawn care practices after a drought to try and get your lawn back to its healthy, green self.</p></div>

Q: How do professionals handle uneven terrain during aeration?

• <div><p>Professional equipment adapts to different terrains, ensuring thorough aeration across all lawn areas.</p></div>

Q: What is the best way to aerate your lawn?

• <div><p>The best way to aerate your lawn depends on what kind of grass and soil you have and your budget and patience level. There are many options to choose from, including spike aerators, core aerators, aerator shoes, and more, and many types can be found in either manual or motorized versions.</p></div>

The company makes a moss control product but will not apply it to my lawn. Instead they make excuses as to why not. They totally ignored my weed problem.

It was great. They did very good. I use them year round. They do all my lawn care and all my snow removal. They trim the shrubs. They just do everything. I've had them for 12 years. They usually come once a week. The workers are great. Mowing for me is $52, including the tax. That's trimming,...

I have used DTELC for several years now. If you pre-pay for the entire year, you save some money. If I were to purchase fertilizer and apply it myself, the cost would be the same. I tried that for years with limited success until I hired DTELC. The weeds are gone from my lawn. Money well spent.

He scheduled a time, couldn't come because of the rain, sent me a text re-scheduling, showed up exactly when he said he would. He did a careful, thorough job of mowing the lawn and trimming the edges. He does not include picking up the clippings in his flat rate.

Mr. Meehan rescued my lawn after the home builder left my property and "so called seeding" in a mess of weeds and poor quality grass. I now have a nice lawn because of the efforts of Meehan Turf Care.
