Should I fertilize my lawn after dethatching it?

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: 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: Can I combine liquid aeration with other lawn treatments?

• <div><p>Yes, you can typically combine liquid aeration with other lawn treatments. However, follow the specific product's instructions and consider the compatibility of treatments. In most cases, liquid aeration can complement fertilization, overseeding, or weed control programs. Combining treatments strategically can address multiple aspects of your lawn's health and appearance simultaneously. Always read and adhere to the guidelines provided by the product manufacturers to ensure safe and effective application.</p></div>

Q: Can I put down grass seed and fertilizer at the same time?

• <div><p>Provided you're using an appropriate starter fertilizer for grass seed, you can put down seeds and fertilizer at the same time. However, putting them down separately, one after the other, on the same day will help to avoid over- or under-applying the lawn food. Avoid using a fertilizer with weed control elements, as these will likely keep the grass seeds from starting. </p></div>

I am a senior who needed help with an overgrown lawn. Thankfully Ladybug Lawn Care generously offered to mow and trim my yard as well as take away an old set of stairs. They are both friendly and giving with their smile and handshakes. I would recommend them to anyone looking for lawn care.

They did a great job, and they were very professional and courtesy. I am even using them on a monthly plan to mow, weed eat, blow, clean out my flowerbeds, and lawn treatments. They even work around my German Shepherd in the backyard when I can't be here.
