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: How do I revive my lawn during a drought?

• <div><p>Water your yard a little more deeply after a drought for about two weeks (while still avoiding overwatering). Continue to water in the early morning hours before 10 a.m. You'll also want to invest in some high-quality fertilizer to get more nutrients to your roots and help them grow back stronger and quicker. Look up your grass and soil type, or do a soil test, to see what type of fertilizer you need.</p></div>

Q: Is it profitable to start a mowing business?

• <div><p>Starting a mowing business can be profitable if you manage your business wisely, calculate costs accurately, and invest in time-efficient, high-quality equipment. With good customer service, you can lock in loyal customers who invest in weekly lawn care services that turn your business into a successful one. </p><p>Lawn care businesses can earn anywhere from $40,000 to over $100,000 per year depending on how you operate, but you&rsquo;ll need to factor in the cost of equipment to determine your actual profit margins.</p></div>

Q: Can you put grass seed on top of dead grass?

• <div><p>No, it's not a good idea to put grass seed directly on top of dead grass. For successful germination and growth, grass seed needs good soil contact. To prepare the area, start by removing the dead grass using a shovel or a sod cutter. Then, loosen the soil, add soil amendments if necessary, and spread the grass seed evenly. This allows the seed to come into direct contact with the soil, promoting better germination and establishing a healthier lawn.</p></div>

Q: When should you not aerate your lawn?

• <div><p>There are a few time periods or conditions during which you should avoid aerating your lawn. For example, do not aerate when the ground is frozen or waterlogged, as it can damage the soil structure and grass roots. Aerating during the peak of summer heat or drought is also not recommended since it can stress your grass further. It's best to wait for cooler, more favorable conditions. Finally, newly seeded lawns should not be aerated until the grass is well-established, usually at least one year after seeding.</p></div>

We used this company for pest control a few years ago. We had an ant problem and they were never able to take care of it. There were ants in the yard, where they said they put insecticide pellets, and there were ants in the house even after they came multiple times to take care of the problem....

My old mower bit the dust last year and I hadn't had time to select a new one. The grass was getting very high, and I knew it needed to be cut and soon. Barrett's had left magnets on mailboxes in my area and I thought it looked promising. A co-worker recognized the name and said she'd used...
