Get matched with top lawn care pros in Salem, NM

Q: How should I water my lawn during hot weather?

• <div><p>You should not water your lawn every day, even in hot weather. For most lawns, watering one to three times per week is sufficient. It is best to water during a drought or when temperatures are high, but avoid watering in the middle of the day or if the temperature exceeds 95 degrees Fahrenheit. The extreme heat will cause the water to evaporate before the soil can fully absorb it. The best time to water is in the early morning at dawn or in the early evening (between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m.) when the temperature is cooler.</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 can I save money on lawn care?

• <div><p>One of the best ways to save money on lawn care is to sign up for an annual contract for ongoing service rather than paying for one-off or as-needed services. If you guarantee a landscaping company ongoing work, they&rsquo;re more likely to give you a break on the cost. Plus, ongoing services will keep your property in tip-top shape and help avoid the high cost of playing catch up on an overgrown lawn. You can also save money by sticking to the basics and foregoing add-on services like weeding and pest treatments.</p></div>

Q: Does Bermuda grass spread?

• <div><p>Bermuda grass is one of the fastest-growing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/warm-or-cool-season-grass-right-choice-your-lawn.htm">warm-season grasses</a> because of its system of aboveground stems (stolons) and below-ground stems (rhizomes). Adequate water and sunlight in a warmer climate will nurture the spread of Bermuda grass. This rapid growth rate makes Bermuda grass resilient and effective at choking weeds. However, this aggressive advancement can also make the grass difficult to contain and control.</p></div>

Q: Will a professional leave grass clippings on the lawn, and why might this be beneficial?

• <div><p>Yes, many pros leave clippings, as they break down quickly, enhancing your lawn&rsquo;s nutrient profile without extra effort from you.</p></div>
