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.

You can thicken new grass by using fertilizer, watering it 1 to 1½ inches per week, mowing when it is at an optimal height, and preventing weeds. You should fertilize your grass while you plant the grass seed, or soon afterward. Use an herbicide to prevent weeds or spot spray with herbicide to kill existing weeds.

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:

Mist grass up to eight times per day to keep the soil moist.
Purchase a moisture-retaining seed coating for your grass seeds.
Amend soil that is compacted or in the wrong pH range.
Choose the right grass seed for your area’s climate and soil conditions.
Avoid planting on windy days or during periods of extreme rain or drought.
