How do you rejuvenate a dead lawn?

• <div><p>First, you should figure out whether you have <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/dormant-vs-dead-grass.htm">dormant or dead grass</a>. Dead grass won’t come back, so you’ll have to reseed if you’re hoping for a lush lawn. However, grass can go dormant if it hasn’t received enough water or if temperatures are too cold. If it’s still decently warm outside, you can revive dormant grass by watering it. But if it’s mid-January in New England, for example, you’ll need to wait until the weather warms up again. If you want to keep grass green in winter, consider a grass like Kentucky bluegrass, which maintains its color year-round.</p></div>

How long does natural grass last?

• <div><p>If maintained correctly, natural grass should last between five and 15 years, or up to several decades, depending on your home’s climate conditions. You can extend your grass’ lifespan by treating it well, including regular mowing, weeding, watering, and preventative pest control. Consider hiring a local lawn care service to provide everything your grass needs to live a long, healthy life.</p></div>

Q: Why is my grass dying?

• <div><p>The grass could be dying because it&rsquo;s overwatered or underwater. Additional issues include over-mowing the lawn, compacted soil, or a fungal disease in the lawn. In many instances, regular maintenance can keep grass from dying.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of buffalo grass?

• <div><p>Buffalo grass does not turn green as early in the spring as some other grasses. If you have a heavily shaded yard, buffalo grass may not receive enough sunlight to thrive. It&rsquo;s not as dense as some other grass varieties, so it may not feel as comfortable on bare feet.</p></div>

Q: What should I put down before grass seed?

• <div><p>Before you put down grass seed, you should cultivate your soil or add two inches of topsoil. You should also put down fertilizer at the same time as your seed to prompt healthy growth. Be sure to water after you put down grass seed, especially for the first two weeks.</p></div>

TruGreen came out to analyze our lawn and made valid suggestions to help with the amount of pervasive weeds that have built up over the years. It has taken a few visits to notice the difference, but our lawn is starting to look great!

He's a very laid back honest person. The service went really well. The lawn looks 100% better. He's done a really good job. He was on time and comes back once a month, if there are any problems he lets us know.
