Why did my grass suddenly turn yellow?

• <div><p>A lawn that suddenly and quickly turns yellow is typically the result of a dramatic change in the grass's environment. Heavy rainfall can dilute soil nutrients, rapidly yellowing the grass, and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-sharpening-lawn-mower-blades.htm">dull lawn mower blades</a> can dry out and damage the grass in a short time. Over-fertilizing can yellow a lawn within a matter of days. </p></div>

Q: How can I speed up the growth of grass?

• <div><p>Choosing the right grass seed and planting it at the right time are the most important factors in establishing fast-growing grass. You also need adequate water, sunshine, and nutrients. To speed up the growth process, you can implement some tips and tricks, including watering it deeply and frequently, and using an iron-rich fertilizer to boost its appearance.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to aerate or scarify a lawn?

• <div><p>Both aerating and scarifying your lawn can offer serious benefits. Aerating pokes holes in the soil to better allow air, moisture, and nutrients to permeate while scarifying removes the buildup of dead plant matter at the soil&rsquo;s surface. Most lawns require both of these maintenance items to thrive.</p></div>

Q: Why consider a pro for winter lawn preparation?

• <div><p>The pros are the precise treatments, such as aeration and fertilization, which protect and prepare your lawn for thriving warmer months.</p></div>

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>
