What should I do if I cut my grass too short?

• <div><p>If your grass is stressed from being over-trimmed, try watering it heavily and then allowing it to recover for at least two weeks before mowing again. If you notice <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-brown-patches-my-grass.htm">brown patches</a> where the grass has died off because it’s too short, you should remove the dead grass and overseed the area. Leaving dead patches can invite weeds and other problems, so if you want a totally green lawn, getting rid of dead patches should include removing the dead sections before reseeding the area.</p></div>

Q: What are the signs I need to aerate my lawn?

• <div><p>Try the tool test first. A screwdriver or a similarly long, thin tool will work best, as spades and shovels are too big. If something still seems off despite the screwdriver smoothly going into the soil, look for other signs that you need aeration, like thinning grass, discolored areas, and puddles forming on your lawn after light rain. This indicates poor drainage because of too many areas being compacted.</p></div>

Q: Why does my St. Augustine grass look bad?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;ve figured out what&rsquo;s making your grass look bad, you&rsquo;ll need to employ the correct treatments. These treatments may include:</p><ul><li><p>Properly mow your lawn and keep the clippings on the lawn as organic matter.</p></li><li><p>Use healthy irrigation techniques.</p></li><li><p>Use the right amount of fertilizer.</p></li><li><p>Keep up a good, regular maintenance routine.</p></li><li><p>Use fungicides.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Can I aerate my lawn myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible with rental equipment, but professional services ensure even and thorough aeration.</p></div>

Q: What should I put on my lawn in the spring?

• <div><p>You should put pre-emergent herbicide and fertilizer on your lawn in the spring. Pre-emergent herbicide keeps weeds from taking root. Fertilizer helps your grass to grow lush and dense and blocks future weeds from growing. You can also add amendments, such as sulfur and lime, to enhance your soil quality. </p></div>

It was fine. I had a couple of hiccups but got them resolved easily. They took care of my one issue and there was no question. It’s a little odd because it's my next door neighbor that owns the company, Xtreme Lawn Care.

I like that they don't use harsh chemicals because I am allergic to some of the chemicals that lawn care companies use. They also give me a proper instruction about what to do after they have completed their service. Also, I pay a yearly price because I get a discount on their services.
