Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

No, you shouldn’t water your lawn every day in hot weather—or ever. For most lawns, one to three water sessions per week is sufficient. When it’s above 95 degrees Fahrenheit, watering your grass can be wasteful since the heat from the sun often evaporates the water before your lawn fully absorbs it. That’s why the best time to water grass in summer is at dawn or in the early evening (between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m.).

Chiggers thrive in overgrown lawns, so regular mowing will deter these annoying mites. It may not remove every single chigger, however, so follow that up with weeding and trimming any nearby trees and bushes. Pay special attention to moist, shady spots, as these are a chigger’s preferred habitat. When all else fails, sprinkle your yard with diatomaceous earth. It kills chiggers by dehydrating their exoskeletons. Diatomaceous earth is basically ground-up shells, so there’s no risk of injury to animals.

Professional lawn care can increase your home’s value, as it beautifies your exterior and improves curb appeal. Potential buyers who pull up to a house that looks neat and clean will get a great first impression, and savvy buyers will know that a well-maintained exterior is probably indicative of proper care for other things, like electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems. Ultimately, a lawn that’s professionally cared for can boost your home’s appearance and lead buyers to offer more for your house.

There are a few ways to fix your lawn on a budget, including:

Identify the lawn care problem and learn how to seed, fertilize, and aerate your lawn.
Reseed old, damaged lawn with new grass that fares better in your environment.
Remove grass from your yard so you no longer need to worry about lawn care costs.

If you notice your grass is growing quickly and it’s hard to keep up, cut down on how much you water and fertilize it. Another helpful method is to mow the grass at the highest setting your mower will allow. Mowing at a higher setting slows grass growth since the blades won’t need to repair themselves as quickly if they’re kept at a longer length.
