Will grass fill in bare spots on its own?

• <div><p>Whether or not grass will fill in bare spots itself depends on the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-identify-lawn-grass.htm">type of grass you have</a>. For example, grass with rhizomes (e.g., Bermuda grass) and stolons (e.g., Saint Augustine grass) will naturally fill in bald spots as it spreads laterally. However, clump-forming grasses will not spread. </p></div>

Q: Can I use dog poop as fertilizer?

• <div><p>Dog poop can make a fantastic natural fertilizer, but don&rsquo;t just whack fresh fido feces onto your lawn. Apart from the smell, health risks, and overall ick factor, poop isn&rsquo;t good for your grass in its unprocessed form. Its high nitrogen levels mean it can burn or even kill your grass. Correctly composted dog poop, on the other hand, is a much safer, odor-free, and effective way to encourage green lawns and blooming borders.</p></div>

Q: Does vinegar stop dog pee from killing grass?

• <div><p>A quick search online may recommend that you give your dog apple cider vinegar to help decrease the pH level of your dog&rsquo;s urine. This method won&rsquo;t help your yard, though. Most turf grasses thrive on slightly acidic soil, so apple cider vinegar won&rsquo;t make much of a difference. </p><p>The main cause of grass death by dog urine isn&rsquo;t the pH level anyway&mdash;it&rsquo;s usually the excessive amount of nitrogen that kills your grass.</p></div>

Q: Is carpetgrass hard to maintain?

• <div><p>Carpetgrass is a low-maintenance grass requiring little fertilization that thrives in subprime growing conditions. However, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/when-to-mow-new-grass.htm">regular mowing</a> is necessary to avoid the growth of unsightly seed stalks, and you may have to water it frequently to prevent drying out the soil. That includes watering the grass over dry winters to help keep it healthy, and it may start dying out in particularly cold climates where it grows poorly. Carpetgrass can also be vulnerable to some types of turf fungus, so it&rsquo;s important not to overthatch. </p></div>

Q: How do I stop my grass from growing so fast?

• <div><p>If you notice your grass is growing quickly and it&rsquo;s hard to keep up, cut down on how much you water and fertilize it. Another helpful method is to mow the grass at the highest setting your mower will allow. Mowing at a higher setting slows grass growth since the blades won&rsquo;t need to repair themselves as quickly if they&rsquo;re kept at a longer length.</p></div>

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.
