How do I maintain my sodded yard?

• <div><p>When your sod is new, you should keep an eye on it to prevent dehydration. As new sod plants its roots into the soil beneath it, it can easily get dehydrated and start to turn brown. Keeping a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-water-lawn.htm">consistent watering schedule</a> for your new sod will help prevent this issue and will help it thrive as it roots into your yard.</p><p>Once your sod is about six weeks old, you can start to establish a regular lawn maintenance routine, complete with mowing, edging, and fertilizing. </p></div>

What should I do if I cut my grass too short?

• <div><p>If your grass is stressed from being over-trimmed, try watering it heavily and then allowing it to recover for at least two weeks before mowing again. If you notice <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-brown-patches-my-grass.htm">brown patches</a> where the grass has died off because it’s too short, you should remove the dead grass and overseed the area. Leaving dead patches can invite weeds and other problems, so if you want a totally green lawn, getting rid of dead patches should include removing the dead sections before reseeding the area.</p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of professional lawn maintenance?

• <div><p>Professionals bring industry knowledge, can spot potential problems early, and tailor maintenance like fertilizing and weeding to your lawn's specific needs.</p></div>

Q: Is spike aeration better than nothing?

• <div><p>Although core aeration is overall a better method of aerating a lawn, spike aeration can still be helpful, especially if you have a smaller yard or are only trying to work on a specific problem area. Because spike aeration is so accessible thanks to its lower cost and easy DIY tools like aerator shoes, it can still be worthwhile for some gardeners.</p></div>

Q: What is the cheapest way to aerate a lawn?

• <div><p>A manual spike aerator or aerator shoe is a very affordable way to aerate a lawn. Such devices can often be purchased for between $30 and $50. Liquid aerator is another affordable option, but this enzymatic spray may not work as well as actual, physical aeration for helping ease compacted soil and may take several applications.</p></div>

The mowing and trimming has our yard looking great all the time. We are kept informed of the schedule and when to expect service. My husband has always been very particular about the lawn and is VERY happy with Lima Lawn Service.

Me or my neighbor were not impressed by the appearance of my lawn. They always said I was the one scalping my lawn. I have a riding mower and always keep it 3 or 4 inches. They would always try to put the blame back on me and would not accept any responsibility.

They charged too much for a job that was crappy. I contacted them to get my yard ready for a graduation party. They told me they would get the lawn done before the party. They came on the 27th and told me not to let anyone walk on the grass. I had to rush to have tents put up for the party. I...
