Q: When should you cut grass for the first time in spring?

• <div><p>When spring arrives, it&rsquo;s best to hold off on mowing until temperatures have consistently reached a temperature of at least <b>40 degrees Fahrenheit</b>. Attempting to mow grass that hasn't fully thawed from its winter dormancy can harm the delicate blades. Ensure your grass is dry before mowing and aim to mow when the grass is about three to four inches tall, trimming no more than one-third of the grass blade's height at a time. This timing encourages healthy growth and prevents shock to the grass, preparing your lawn for a happy, healthy growing season.</p></div>

Q: What is the best grass for striping?

• <div><p>In general, cool-season grasses such as <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-fescue-grass.htm">fescue grass</a>, ryegrass, and Kentucky bluegrass are best for creating a striped lawn. Warm-season grasses like bermuda and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-zoysia-grass.htm">zoysia grass </a>don't curl as much, so grass stripes aren't as easy to see. If you live in a climate that&rsquo;s better suited for warm-season grass, zoysia grass will typically be your best option.</p></div>

Q: Is Bermuda grass drought-resistant?

• <div><p>Bermuda grass may be drought-resistant, but it still needs to be watered once or twice a week. The suggested amount of water Bermuda grass needs varies from season to season. Bermuda grass needs about 1 inch of water a week in summer, fall, and winter; it needs up to &frac34; inch in spring.</p></div>

Q: Can pulling nutgrass make it worse?

• <div><p>Sometimes, pulling nutgrass can cause it to spread. If you do not discard the plant and rhizomes, the nutlets attached to the roots may each sprout. However, if you pull nutgrass repeatedly over the course of several weeks and discard the plant each time, it will weaken the plant significantly, eventually leading to its disappearance.</p></div>

Q: How do you thicken new grass?

• <div><p>You can thicken new grass by <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-fertilizer.htm">using fertilizer</a>, watering it 1 to 1&frac12; inches per week, mowing when it is at an optimal height, and preventing weeds. You should fertilize your grass while you plant the grass seed, or soon afterward. Use an herbicide to prevent weeds or spot spray with herbicide to kill existing weeds.</p></div>

"Missed several corner spots for some reason and did not just mow over a few scattered leaves? I suspect the REASON WHY we did not get "Star Treatment" it's all good though. 👍 I ain't scared. 1 star like you gave us. We don't rake bud. We just mow over them. Those leaves were barely there you could have just mowed over them instead of leaving our yard looking like we didn't just pay somebody."
