Q: Why is my buffalo grass turning brown?

• <div><p>Buffalo grass starts to turn brown when encountering drought during the normal growing season. You can water the grass when you begin to notice some browning to prevent it from going dormant. Additionally, buffalo grass turns brown after the first freeze of late autumn or early winter, and this is a natural time for the grass to go dormant.</p></div>

Q: Is mulching leaves better than picking them up?

• <div><p>Mulching leaves has many more lawn benefits than picking them up and removing them entirely. Leaf mulch supports healthy soil and grass growth, plus it fertilizes your lawn as the leaves decompose. That way, you can save time (and your back) from picking up every leaf in your yard, too.</p></div>

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: Is it better to pull weeds or spray them?

• <div><p>Ultimately, pulling weeds vs. spraying them depends on what&rsquo;s happening in your yard and your personal preferences. Manual weed removal doesn&rsquo;t introduce any chemicals into your landscape, targets specific problematic plants, produces immediate results, can be free if you go the DIY route, and is inexpensive with a weed service if you only have a handful of weeds. On the other hand, spraying is often preferable for severe weed infestations and situations involving difficult-to-pull weeds because it treats multiple weeds at once, is usually more effective long-term, is less time-consuming, and costs less when done by a pro.</p></div>

Q: How much does professional lawn care cost?

• <div><p>Routine <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-landscaping-cost.htm#">lawn care costs</a> between <b>$50 and $250</b> per service, with an average of around <b>$100</b>. Most homeowners need one service per week through the spring and summer, and many switch to snow removal services in the winter. The price you&rsquo;ll pay will depend on a few different factors:</p><ul><li><p>Size of your lawn</p></li><li><p>Complexity of your lawn layout and obstructions</p></li><li><p>Requested services </p></li><li><p>Home&rsquo;s location</p></li><li><p>How quickly your grass grows</p></li></ul><p></p></div>
