What does moss in a lawn indicate?

• <div><p>Moss growing in a lawn is a sign of poor soil that makes it hard for grass and plants to grow. Moss thrives in these conditions and spreads easily, so it can quickly take over your yard if it’s lacking in nutrients, too wet, or has an excessive amount of shade. Moss in the lawn isn’t always a bad thing, but it can prevent turfgrass from forming deep roots.</p></div>

Can you speed up grass seed germination?

• <div><p>Speeding up grass seed germination is possible, but it requires quite a bit of extra work and commitment. Keeping the soil moist is key, but here are a few other tried-and-true methods for growing your new grass as quickly as possible:</p><ul><li><p>Mist grass up to eight times per day to keep the soil moist.</p></li><li><p>Purchase a moisture-retaining seed coating for your grass seeds.</p></li><li><p>Amend soil that is compacted or in the wrong pH range.</p></li><li><p>Choose the right grass seed for your area’s climate and soil conditions.</p></li><li><p>Avoid planting on windy days or during periods of extreme rain or drought.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Can you hydroseed over old grass?

• <div><p>Hydroseeding over an existing lawn is possible, but certain adjustments are necessary since the process is for bare soil. Hydroseed mix is usually very thick, which helps protect the seeds during germination. If you have existing grass on your site and still want to hydroseed, it's better to use a finer <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/choosing-right-mulch-your-garden.htm">mulch mixture</a> when spraying. A finer mulch mix means the seeds can root into existing soil without suffocating the existing grass.</p></div>

Q: What should I put down before grass seed?

• <div><p>Before you put down grass seed, you should cultivate your soil or add two inches of topsoil. You should also put down fertilizer at the same time as your seed to prompt healthy growth. Be sure to water after you put down grass seed, especially for the first two weeks.</p></div>

Q: Are DIY lawn treatments as effective as professional services?

• <div><p>DIY solutions often lack precise formulation and distribution, potentially leading to lawn damage. Professional treatments optimize results with targeted applications.</p></div>
