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: What should I keep in mind when seeding my lawn?

• <div><p>Whether you&rsquo;re putting down fresh seed or reseeding, there are a few things to keep in mind when seeding your lawn. Be sure to choose the correct seed for your climate, seed at the right time of year, and water two to three times a day for the first week. Generally, Dudley recommends <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/plant-grass-spring.htm">seeding in spring</a> and fall as it is usually cooler and rainier. </p></div>

Q: What fall lawn prep should I do for spring?

• <div><p>In the fall, you should aerate the soil, overseed the bare spots, kill weeds, mow the lawn low, and rake your leaves. By boosting your lawn&rsquo;s health in the fall, your grass will be stronger throughout the winter and come back healthier in the spring. You should also trim your perennials so that they withstand the winter and are ready for new growth in the spring. </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>
