What kills weeds in the grass fast?

• <div><p>The quickest way to kill weeds is to burn them, pour boiling water on them, or pull them out by hand. Each of these methods works instantaneously. Beyond that, using <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/vinegar-grass.htm">vinegar for grass</a> works in a couple of hours, as do herbicides you can buy at the store. The slowest way to kill weeds is to starve them of nutrients and sunlight with mulch or fabric covers. </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: Can I put down grass seed and fertilizer at the same time?

• <div><p>Provided you're using an appropriate starter fertilizer for grass seed, you can put down seeds and fertilizer at the same time. However, putting them down separately, one after the other, on the same day will help to avoid over- or under-applying the lawn food. Avoid using a fertilizer with weed control elements, as these will likely keep the grass seeds from starting. </p></div>

Q: Can watering dead grass bring it back to life?

• <div><p>No, watering dead grass will not bring it back to life. If the grass on your lawn is truly dead, no amount of water will bring it back to life. However, some methods can bring dying grass back to life. Consider aerating, overseeding, or analyzing your soil to get to the root of why the grass is dying. </p></div>

Q: What if I put too much fertilizer on my lawn?

• <div><p>Overfertilizing can burn and kill the grass as well as upset the soil's nutrient balance, leaving your grass prone to disease and infestation. You'll know that you have overfertilized your burn when you have recently fertilized and begin to see brown and yellow patches of dead grass that need to be reseeded. </p></div>

Zach did a great job on our lawn. He cut, trimmed and blew the clippings so it looked very nice. He was on time and did this on one of the hottest days. I would recommend him for your lawn care.

They were going to come out and do a beginning fertilizer treatment. They just showed up one day without telling me they were coming and they put the treatment on top of newly put down grass seed which killed the grass seed that I had put down. I thought they would call ahead of time as I wanted...
