Does fescue grass come back every year?

• <div><p>Yes! Fescue grass is a perennial that naturally regrows every spring.

Keep in mind that fescue grasses thrive in cooler and transitional areas, so some species do best in moderate climates below 90 and above 50 degrees Fahrenheit. </p></div>

What does over-watered grass look like?

• <div><p>The American ideal of a large, perfectly-manicured lawn is tied to the post-World War II suburban housing boom.

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

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.

Here are some questions you should ask lawn mowing companies before hiring one to service your lawn:

How long have you been in business?
Are you licensed and fully insured?
Do you collect and haul away cut grass or mulch it and leave it behind?
Do you provide add-on services other than lawn mowing?
Do you plan to use herbicides and pesticides?
If I run into an issue with service, what does the resolution process look like?

Yes! Fescue grass is a perennial that naturally regrows every spring. That’s why we recommend planting this grass variety in the spring to jump into the ideal growing and regrowing schedule. Keep in mind that fescue grasses thrive in cooler and transitional areas, so some species do best in moderate climates below 90 and above 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

Water the lawn thoroughly, apply fertilizer, and overseed if necessary to promote healthy growth.

The look of an overwatered lawn is likely the first thing to tip you off. Overwatered lawns don’t look green and lush. They’ll often be yellowed and mushy or appear patchy and thinning.

Most signs of an overwatered lawn are visual; if your grass looks off, the lawn is likely over or underwatered.
