Q: Can you hydroseed over an existing lawn or old grass?

• <div><p>While hydroseeding is typically meant for bare soil, it is possible to hydroseed over an existing lawn with some adjustments. For the new seed to germinate and thrive, it needs good seed-to-soil contact. Without it, most of the seed may not take root and will die. To improve your chances of success when repairing a patchy area, mow any existing grass as low as possible and loosen any exposed soil before application. It is also recommended to use a finer mulch mixture when spraying, as this will help the seeds reach the soil and root without suffocating the existing grass.</p></div>

Q: Will grass grow after forestry mulching?

• <div><p>Yes, grass will regrow after forestry mulching, but the timeline depends on soil conditions, mulch thickness, and existing seed banks. The nutrient-rich mulch left behind helps retain moisture and improve soil health, encouraging regrowth. However, if the mulch layer is too thick, it may block sunlight and slow grass germination. For faster results, you can rake excess mulch, aerate the soil, and plant the new grass seeds.</p></div>

Q: Can dry St. Augustine grass come back?

• <div><p>If the grass is dead, you cannot bring it back to life. However, you can grow new grass in its place or try the methods mentioned above to revive the grass if it isn&rsquo;t entirely dead. You can expect St. Augustine grass to come back after moderate droughts, but it will suffer significant nutrient loss after an extended period of drought.</p></div>

Q: Should you fertilize new grass seed?

• <div><p>Yes, but the best approach is to apply fertilizer well before you actually sprinkle the seeds. Apply fertilizer with an NPK ratio somewhere around 10-10-20, or 10-10-10, depending on soil test results and the type of grass you're planting, about six to eight weeks before planting grass seed. This mix added to loosened soil will give the grass seed its best chance of getting off to a solid start. </p></div>

Q: Can you speed up grass seed germination?

• <div><p>Speeding up grass seed germination is possible, but it requires quite a bit of extra work and commitment. Keeping the soil moist is key, but here are a few other tried-and-true methods for growing your new grass as quickly as possible:</p><ul><li><p>Mist grass up to eight times per day to keep the soil moist.</p></li><li><p>Purchase a moisture-retaining seed coating for your grass seeds.</p></li><li><p>Amend soil that is compacted or in the wrong pH range.</p></li><li><p>Choose the right grass seed for your area&rsquo;s climate and soil conditions.</p></li><li><p>Avoid planting on windy days or during periods of extreme rain or drought.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

they always call prior to their visit and leave detailed findings as to the condition of your lawn. Having been told that lawn needs may change over time, I wish they would analyze the status of my lawn each year and then apply what it needs. Makes sense, doesn't it?!
