"I highly recommend Garden Guys Landscaping. I worked with them for the first time this winter for snow removal and appreciated Jack?s prompt service and communication. This fall they dethatched my lawn in early September. The following week, they did the core aeration and overseeding for my lawn. I am very excited to see the full results of that next spring since the little grass sprouts started coming up really nicely. The crew that came to do the work was really nice, I believe their names were Jackson and Max. I told them that if they ever come back, I will definitely make them cookies. My lawn has always been decent but never great and I think this is a good next step. I think I may even have them aerate again in spring as I am bound and determined to have a good looking lawn. Fingers crossed."

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

Apply fertilizer in early spring and late summer to promote robust growth through the seasons.

While you may see some germination by simply tossing a handful of new seeds on a lawn, you'll have more success by following the proper reseeding or overseeding process step-by-step. Without properly tilling, mowing, amending the soil, and watering your lawn, the new seed could blow away or simply fail to take root.

Technically no, but they can look very similar and people often refer to the weedy grasses interchangeably. However, several differences keep these species separate. Crabgrass is often a darker color than carpetgrass and tends to sprout much earlier in spring. When allowed to grow out, crabgrass grows stems outward from the center of a stalk in a star-like pattern, which carpetgrass does not have.

Some of the particular herbicides that work best to get rid of nut grass without killing the grass include Halosulfuron-methyl, mesotrione, sulfentrazone, and metsulfuron. A herbicide like glyphosate would kill nutgrass, but it will kill nearby plants, too.

Despite being moderately high-maintenance, St. Augustine grass is popular for several reasons. The biggest properties that make this grass a winner for southeastern lawns include its salt, heat, humidity, and shade tolerance. This grass species is excellent for coastal regions with high humidity, mild winters, and salty skies. It’s also easy to establish in yards.
