Q: Should you mow the lawn before seeding?

• <div><p>Always mow the lawn on a short setting when overseeding. The thinner coverage offers more space for the grass seed to take root in the soil. When reseeding a lawn, however, you may need to remove your old turf altogether.</p></div>

Q: How long before a new lawn can handle heavy traffic?

• <div><p>Planting grass from seed requires time to grow before it can handle even light foot traffic. Most varieties require a minimum of<b> three months</b> before you can walk on them regularly. You can expect to wait at least one year before your lawn can hold up to heavy use. Because sod is already established, it can be walked on more quickly than grass planted from seed.</p></div>

Q: What should you do with areas of grass that won't grow?

• <div><p>There are several reasons <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-dead-grass-your-lawn-inevitable.htm">your grass may be dying</a> that could be in or out of your control. The most common issues include poor drainage, under/overwatering, poor soil pH, low soil nutrients, low sunlight, or too much foot traffic.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: Can you hydroseed over existing or old grass?

• <div><p>While hydroseeding is designed for bare soil, it is possible to apply it over an existing lawn with certain adjustments. For the new seed to be successful, it needs good seed-to-soil contact to germinate and take root. Without proper preparation, most of the new seed will fail to establish and will die. To hydroseed over existing grass, first mow the lawn as low as possible, then loosen and clear any exposed soil. It is also recommended to use a finer mulch mixture in the hydroseed spray, which helps the seeds penetrate the existing turf and reach the soil without suffocating the established grass.</p></div>

There are a few ways to fix your lawn on a budget, including:

Identify the lawn care problem and learn how to seed, fertilize, and aerate your lawn.
Reseed old, damaged lawn with new grass that fares better in your environment.
Remove grass from your yard so you no longer need to worry about lawn care costs.
