Sometimes residents place rocks along the roadway in front of their homes to keep vehicles off their lawns. This is done primarily on residential streets that don't have curbs. These rocks can be real safety hazards. If a vehicle leaves the roadway, rocks won't stop these out-of-control vehicles, just damage them and possibly injure the occupants. A rock could be hit by a vehicle sending it flying and possibly injuring residents.

Mole activity in your lawn, golf course or fields can mangle water lines, which can lead to expensive flood damage. Mole activity may break cables, which can affect phones or any other utility you receive through underground lines. Moles destroy sprinkler systems by uprooting sprinkler heads and warping underground water lines. Mole tree damage is a huge concern. Their burrowing can expose tree roots, girdle and clip trees—all great ways to kill a tree in your yard or golf course.

There could be several reasons, such as an iron deficiency, too high a pH or a lack of iron in the soil. I would suggest a soil test to determine the pH. We offer this service here at the Volusia County Extension Service, 3100 East New York Avenue (Route 44), Deland. The cost is $1 for three samples. We test each Thursday morning, so bring it to the center before then. If the pH is okay, try applying iron chelate in the area. Sedge is an indicator of over-irrigation.

In St. Louis, we are in the transition zone between ideals for northern and southern grasses. Tall Fescues are best adapted for our area where there are extremes of cold winters and hot summers.

Maybe you shouldn’t. If grass can’t compete with moss, it may not be the best location for it. We sell many good shade ground covers. If you’re determined to grow grass, remember:

Guess I can't give an absolute answer to that question. I'm sure that without water the grass would eventually die, but so would all the other plants. It is normal for our lawns to go dormant during hot dry periods of weather.

Kentucky Blue Grass, which is 1/8 of an inch wide, has a V shaped blade, darker green than any other grass and the growth is aggressive through rhizomes (roots underground). Kentucky Blue Grass goes dormant during a drought. Perennial Rye Grass, which is 1/8 inch wide with a pointed tip, dark green but lighter than Kentucky Blue Grass and it is shiny on one side, this will not fill in naturally like Kentucky Blue Grass.

Answer: We follow City Code on this issue. The Parks and Recreation Department takes calls from concerned individuals about grass that is over 1' tall or weeds that are on a property that has not been properly maintained. A certified letter is sent to both the property owner and the occupant. A timeline is given for the situation to be remedied. If it is not, the Parks staff or a private contractor mows the area and the property owner is billed accordingly. Refer to City Code link http://city.

Here in Newfoundland you should bag your clippings and start a compost pile. This prevents any build up of thatch in your lawn and the composted grass clippings cam be later applied to your lawn as an organic fertilizer.

Grass clippings left on the lawn only become a problem if they are too thick. If you mow the lawn before the grass gets overly tall, most of the clippings will not be sufficient to warrant raking.

Real grass lawns are not only expensive, but they require irrigation and weekly maintenance, such as: mowing, watering, fertilizing, thatching, weeding, edging, chemical pesticides, and winter over-seeding. Waterless Grass™ lawns save you these expenses and hassles!

Most lawns in our area are a mixture of Blue Grass and Creeping Red Fescue. These grass will do their best when cut at between 2" and 3" high. At this height, the plants shade the soil and helps keep weed seeds from germinating. Cut the grass when it reaches 3" to 4" in height. From the latest research I've seen leaving the clippings on the lawn is the way to go. The clippings are high in moisture and nitrogen and break down quickly.

No, quackgrass is very competitive and actually withstands stress better than Bluegrass. A good fertilizer program along with adequate watering helps the lawn grass compete. Mowing your lawn every 5 days will also help keep the undesirable grasses under control.

We give rocks to the Rockhopper penguins during the breeding season to use for nest building. Rockhopper penguins are surface nesters and do not nest in burrows like our other species.

Grasses are plants that require a certain amount of light to survive. Plants use light to process and create food. Some grasses do better than others in shady areas because of the way they grow. Deep shade grasses grow flatter and can take in more light than a plant that grows straight up and down. Even shady grasses require sunlight for at least 1/3 of the day. If this requirement is not met the plant will begin to suffer and die back.

Carpet grass, as it is commonly referred to, is actually Blanket Crabgrass. This annual weed can be a real problem in many home and commercial lawns. Crabgrass usually invades areas of the lawn that have become weak or died out from disease, insect or other forces. Since crabgrass is a grass just like St. Augustine it is difficult to control selectively in a lawn. Crabgrass, however, is an annual plant that dies in the winter but re-grows from seed in the spring.

Mowing is only one step to a healthy lawn. Like any plant, grass needs water and oxygen in addition to regular maintenance. Are you over- or under-watering your lawn? Is your lawn getting adequate air flow? If there is a thick layer of thatch on your lawn, your grass is probably suffocating. A healthy way to deal with this problem is to aerate your lawn. A more drastic way to deal with thatch is to dethatch your lawn, but that is harsher on the grass.

Your lawn may have a disease called Spring Dead Spot. This disease is very difficult to control. Rake the dead areas to encourage fill in from healthy grass plants growing adjacent to the spot.

Warning labels on chemical pesticides give a good indication of the toxicity of the product. However, "safe" is a very subjective term. Unfortunately, due to both environmental and human variables, there is no certainty that toxic substances will react according to label specifications.

The grass beneath a leaf pile may turn yellow, but it will survive. Our collection schedule aims to limit the problem by allowing leaves to remain on a tree lawn no longer than 14 days before collection.

Positively and without a doubt you can grow it from seed. Be my guest. Astoria, Highland, Penn-cross, or Seaside bents all can be grown from sown seed. Before tackling a bent lawn, though, make sure you understand that they take a ton of work and a special mower. What do you mean all? There’s perennial or annual. If you’re talking about brand names; they’re improved varieties of the same two.

It is not possible to prevent grass or lawn damage under the pool. Keep this in mind when selecting your site for set up. Fungus may develop in shaded areas around the pool. Try to keep these shaded areas free from excess water.

There are several things which can be done. Set your mower up so that you cut the grass higher than normal. The taller grass will shade the grass roots and reduce the heat at soil level. Don't fertilize unless you can and do water. Mow your grass less often. Wounds caused by mowing are a source of lost moisture. If you don't have a layer of thatch allow the grass clipping to fall and provide a mulch which will reduce the water loss from the soil.

City Ordinance regarding un-mowed lawns (FREMONT ORDINANCE 4-602) states that it is the duty of every owner of real estate in the City to cut and clear such real estate of all weeds and worthless vegetation. If your neighbor is in violation of this ordinance, you may call Keep Fremont Beautiful at 727-2808 to report the un-mowed lawn. It is important that you note the exact address of the offending lawn. KFB will send the complaint to the Fremont Police Department for enforcement procedures.

of patch 1.3+ you can. However it doesnt work the same as X2, no auto-pickup and you must check to see if its 'collectable' by pressing "I" when targeted. I think in 1.4 is an auto-pickup.
