Where does fescue grass grow best?

• <div><p>Depending on the species, most fescue grasses thrive in <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/know-your-hardiness-zone.htm">USDA hardiness zones</a> 3 through 8, though some varieties can thrive as far as zone 10. While it’s a cool-season grass, it has the unique ability to adapt and thrive in many different types of climates. For this reason, you'll mostly find fescue grasses throughout the transitional temperature zones of the country. </p></div>

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: When should I fertilize?

• <div><p>The best time to apply fertilizer to your lawn is in early fall, though some climates necessitate a different schedule. In most cases, avoid fertilizing late into fall, as this opens up your yard to winter injuries and poor health (though this is a great time to kill weeds.) You should avoid early spring fertilization, as this helps the grass leaves grow, but at the expense of developing root systems. Remember to water your lawn after fertilizing to increase its effectiveness and reduce the likelihood of runoff during a rainstorm. </p></div>

Q: What is the best lawn fertilizer for spring?

• <div><p>The best fertilizer for early spring is an organic slow-release fertilizer that sets up your lawn for continued good health and vigorous growth throughout the whole growing season. If your lawn is particularly neglected or has specific issues, you may need an application of quick-release fertilizer alongside a slow-release one for an immediate boost. </p><p> </p></div>

Q: When in spring should I fertilize my lawn?

• <div><p>You should fertilize your lawn after it has grown at least two inches or after your second mow (usually in March or April). Applying fertilizer too early can feed your weeds and cause them to grow stronger, too. You should water your lawn two to three days before you apply fertilizer to ensure the soil absorbs it.</p></div>

Scott Olson does very good work and am looking forward to having him back in the spring of 2022. My previous lawn care person moved out of town and Ole"s lawn service and outdoor projects was available to take over. Maybe this year we'll have more rain.

They are very reliable, always do good work. If the lawn doesn’t need mowing they are just fine with not charging us for that week. They remove snow for us as well. If we call them they will come out right away. They have great customer service.
