Q: What are the disadvantages of buffalo grass?

• <div><p>Buffalo grass does not turn green as early in the spring as some other grasses. If you have a heavily shaded yard, buffalo grass may not receive enough sunlight to thrive. It&rsquo;s not as dense as some other grass varieties, so it may not feel as comfortable on bare feet.</p></div>

Q: What kills clover but not the grass?

• <div><p>Purchase a selective herbicide that targets clover and similar weeds but doesn't take out your grass. You can also keep it from growing with corn meal gluten or remove clover from your lawn manually at the start of the season as part of your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/lawn-maintenance-checklist.htm">lawn maintenance checklist</a>.</p></div>

Q: Are herbicides for weed control safe?

• <div><p>All herbicides come with risks, but you can control and mitigate risks by discussing your options with your weed service company before application. Some companies use milder or sustainable herbicides more times per season to control weeds rather than one to two herbicide sprayings annually. You can also ask your professional about pet-friendly and kid-friendly services. In most cases, though, you can wait a few days after the application for the herbicides to soak into the ground, at that point they shouldn&rsquo;t pose a risk to you or your family.</p></div>

Q: Can I use herbicide to kill the roots of a neighbor’s tree?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not legal to intentionally damage a neighbor&rsquo;s tree. Even if the roots of a tree encroach into your yard, if you damage or kill a tree that belongs to your neighbor, you can be held liable for the damage in most cases. Since herbicides can spread through the tree, causing damage to the whole tree and not just the roots that are on your side of the property line, you shouldn&rsquo;t poison your neighbor&rsquo;s tree. The other downside to this method is that if the tree dies, it can fall onto your property and cause more damage, so herbicides are best avoided in this circumstance.</p></div>

Q: How do you kill Johnsongrass without killing your lawn?

• <div><p>The safest method to avoid killing your turf grass is hand pulling Johnsongrass. You can also apply vinegar for a safer herbicide, but it will still burn your lawn if it gets on it.</p></div>
