Q: Why did people stop using reel mowers?

• <div><p>The American ideal of a large, perfectly-manicured lawn is tied to the post-World War II suburban housing boom. In the decades that followed, technological advances made self-propelled mowers more affordable and plentiful. Many Americans came to see reel mowers as old-fashioned, inconvenient, and time-consuming, and they eventually fell out of fashion. </p></div>

Q: How much does yard work cost?

• <div><p>The cost of yard work depends on the type of work you need done. The average cost of lawn care is $300, but you could pay as little as $100 or up to $500.</p></div>

Q: How long do I have to wait before walking on the grass?

• <div><p>Grass is fragile, so try to wait eight weeks after laying seed to step on it. You might need to wait an entire season to drive your car across the driveway. Sod establishes itself in the ground in about two weeks. </p></div>

Q: How did orchard grass get in my lawn?

• <div><p>Orchard grass seeds can spread quite easily, traveling with the wind as well as birds and animals. Common grass seed packets, especially in the popular tall fescue variety, may contain the occasional orchard grass seed by accident. Always purchase high-quality turf grass seed without &quot;other crop seeds&quot; mixed in.</p></div>

Q: Is fescue grass hard to maintain?

• <div><p>Fescue grass is a relatively low-maintenance grass type, meaning it doesn&rsquo;t require much more attention than regular watering, dethatching, and mowing. Some fescues even grow slowly enough for hard-to-reach areas, particularly those inaccessible by the mower. Following a seasonal maintenance schedule will help your fescue <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-get-green-grass-during-drought.htm">lawn stay green</a>, healthy, and durable for years to come. </p></div>
