How do I keep my lawn green in a drought?

• <div><p>First, make sure you’re watering your grass early in the morning (and keep in mind you don’t have to water every day). Doing this helps ensure the water is able to soak in before the hot temps evaporate all of the water. Also, when you mow, don’t mow your grass as short as you would in non-drought conditions. Taller grass can help slow down the rate at which soil dries out. Finally, take your leftover lawn clippings and spread them out across the lawn to give it a little extra shade and nutrients.</p></div>

Q: Can I use compost on my lawn?

• <div><p>Yes, you can use compost on your lawn alongside or even instead of standard fertilizer. Compost is rich in nutrients and organic matter and restores the balance and health of your soil. It also replenishes depleted soil, adding volume as well as nutrients. It's a great alternative to synthetic slow-release fertilizer. And if you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-make-compost.htm">compost at home</a>, you can save money by applying your own compost. </p><p> </p></div>

Q: How long do I have to wait to walk on the grass?

• <div><p>If you plan on laying new grass seed, try to wait eight weeks before stepping on it. You might need to wait an entire season to drive your car across the driveway. Sod establishes itself in the ground in about two weeks. </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: Can poor lawn conditions affect home value?

• <div><p>Yes, especially for properties focusing on curb appeal. A well-maintained landscape supports visual and environmental attractiveness, potentially increasing desirability.</p></div>

J&A did an awesome job cleaning up my yard, which was covered with several years worth of leaves in the back. I highly recommend them for your lawn care needs.
