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: What is the best type of grass for shade?

• <div><p>The best grass type for shady areas depends on your region, your preferences, and your yard&rsquo;s microclimate. Overall, the best cool-season grass for shade is ryegrass or tall fescue, while the best warm-season grass for shade is St. Augustine. But again, this can depend on what you&rsquo;re looking for in the grass. The best grass for your shady yard might be one that looks good to you, one that tolerates high foot traffic, or grass with other characteristics that make it fit your lawn needs. </p></div>

Q: Is Bahia grass hard to grow?

• <div><p>Bahia grass is not difficult to grow, but you might need patience for this slow-growing grass. Whereas some grass species, like Bermuda grass, can take 1 to 2 weeks to germinate, Bahia grass can take two or three times as long, making it seem like it won&rsquo;t grow. But again, once your Bahia grass is established, it requires little maintenance. Its deep root system makes it a very durable grass that can bounce back after freezes and droughts. </p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of lawn seeding compared to sod?

• <div><p>Seeding a lawn offers several advantages over laying sod, primarily related to cost and variety. Seeding is less expensive upfront, making it a more budget-friendly option. It also provides a much broader selection of grass varieties, allowing you to choose the best type for your specific climate and soil. Additionally, seeding allows grass roots to establish directly in the native soil, and the installation process is typically less labor-intensive than sodding. However, it's important to consider that sod offers better immediate protection against weeds and erosion.</p></div>

Q: Is it OK to water new grass seed at night?

• <div><p>Morning and late afternoon are the best times for watering new grass seed. The seed gets a healthy balance of water and sunlight, and the excess water evaporates. If you water the grass long after the sun goes down, the air is too cold, and there's no sun to make excess water evaporate. This keeps the grass damp for too long, increasing the chances of over-watering.</p></div>

Travis Taylor was very prompt and easy to work with. He did a great job. It was a gigantic dead tree close to a county road. I put 4 instead of 5 because the "stump" is 20 feet tall. But he took all limbs down and neutralized the danger to passers by.
