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 you redo a bad lawn?

• <div><p>The first step in re-doing a bad lawn is correctly diagnosing the problem. That&rsquo;s why we recommend calling a licensed and trustworthy lawn care company that can help turn your damaged lawn around. Once the problem is diagnosed and fixed, you&rsquo;ll want to keep up with lawn maintenance by watering, mowing, and feeding your lawn the proper nutrients.</p></div>

Q: Should I use fungicide on grass with powdery mildew?

• <div><p>You can use a fungicide to help control powdery mildew, but you should apply it judiciously as it can damage soil health and persist in the soil. Most of the time, proper watering, surface drying, and limiting shade can control powdery mildew without needing harsher interventions. If you have a repeated problem with powdery mildew, you can also try planting a shade-resistant <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-type-grass-will-grow-best-my-yard.htm">type of grass</a> that will be less susceptible to the fungus.</p></div>

Q: When in spring should I fertilize my lawn?

• <div><p>You should fertilize your lawn after it has grown at least two inches or after your second mow (usually in March or April). Applying fertilizer too early can feed your weeds and cause them to grow stronger, too. You should water your lawn two to three days before you apply fertilizer to ensure the soil absorbs it.</p></div>

Q: How do I make my ryegrass thicker?

• <div><p>Make your ryegrass thicker by boosting soil health. Add organic matter, aerate the lawn if the soil is compacted, fertilize appropriately, and see if your lawn needs dethatching. Your local lawn care service can come and look at your lawn and provide specific advice and remedies for your lawn issues.</p></div>

The owner, Tony Barrera, is very knowledgeable and explained exactly what they were going to do. My back yard was a complete blank canvas, but that meant they had to level the entire area (which was not level) and remove a lot of rocks and weeds. The sod they put in my back yard grows really...
