Q: Is carpetgrass hard to maintain?

• <div><p>Carpetgrass is a low-maintenance grass requiring little fertilization that thrives in subprime growing conditions. However, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/when-to-mow-new-grass.htm">regular mowing</a> is necessary to avoid the growth of unsightly seed stalks, and you may have to water it frequently to prevent drying out the soil. That includes watering the grass over dry winters to help keep it healthy, and it may start dying out in particularly cold climates where it grows poorly. Carpetgrass can also be vulnerable to some types of turf fungus, so it&rsquo;s important not to overthatch. </p></div>

Q: Can you permanently get rid of nutgrass?

• <div><p>The first step is killing any current nutgrass plants, either through application of herbicides or sugar, by digging up the plants and rhizomes, or by using soil solarization. To discourage new nutgrass plants from forming, ensure <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-landscape-drainage.htm">proper landscape drainage</a> and bring shade into areas of the lawn that are consistently damp.</p></div>

Q: How effective are reel mowers?

• <div><p>If you have a manageably-sized lawn and the ground is relatively even and free of debris, a reel mower can be very effective. That&rsquo;s because reel mowers provide a cleaner, more precise cut compared to power rotary mowers. Just keep in mind that you&rsquo;ll need to stay on top of your lawn maintenance: Reel mowers can&rsquo;t handle grass that&rsquo;s grown too tall or dense.</p></div>

Q: Which hardiness zones are best for St. Augustine grass?

• <div><p>The best hardiness zones for St. Augustine grass are USDA growing zones 8, 9, and 10. However, with a bit of extra attention, it'll also grow well in zones 7, 11, and 12.</p></div>

Q: How many miles per hour can you mow?

• <div><p>Depending on your lawn mower type, you can mow anywhere from 2.5 to 13 miles per hour (mph). A simple push lawn mower will take the longest to mow at 2.5 mph, which is just under the average walking pace. Riding mowers can go significantly faster. Rear engines come in at around 5 mph, tractors come in at just shy of 8 mph, and zero-turn mowers come in at the fastest speed of 13 mph.</p></div>
