Yes, grass will definitely grow in the mulch. The cedar mulch does not chemically retard the growth. I believe this misconception stems from mulching without reseeding in thick cedar areas where no grass remained under the trees. If there are seeds there they will grow, but if there is nothing, the results are predictable. This is why we recommend seeding many of our clearing jobs.

We will come out every week on your regularly scheduled mowing day. If you grass simply hasn't grown that week, we don't feel right charging you, so we will skip your lawn. There is no need to call us if you think your grass hasn't grown - chances are we will be in your neighborhood anyway, and can determine if your grass should be cut. See similar questions...

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: See similar questions...

Yes- in fact grass tends to grow greener and faster under the trampoline as the mat still allows some sunlight through. When mowing your lawn, simply drag your trampoline out of the way. See similar questions...

Grass clippings can be used fresh in light layers. Thicker layers may mat down and impede moisture from reaching the soil surface; a thick layer may also be "hot" enough to burn nearby plants. Often, gardeners will mix clippings with another non-matting mulch material such as chopped leaves and use that. Using the clippings will not cause grass or weeds to grow in a given area unless the clippings are full of grass seed (or possibly weed seeds). See similar questions...

Out of the six lawngrasses that will grow in Florida, only two are considered low maintenance for this area. The most widely used grass is St. Augustine, the other is Bahiagrass. St. Augustine varieties, such as Floratam, make a good carpet-like lawn. Bahia is more open-growing but will also make an acceptable lawn. Both grasses come as sod, but only Bahiagrass can be planted from seed. St. Augustine varieties have to be plugged or sprigged. See similar questions...

The District's Infrastructure Division is responsible for the establishment and maintenance of all vegetation. Once the construction project is complete and the vegetation has been re-established, the property will once again be added to our inventory of property, and regular maintenance will be scheduled. The District focuses the mowing efforts in three annual mowing cycles. See similar questions...

Yes. Healthy grass will grow faster and thicker. If you hate to mow lush, green grass...aeration, fertilizing, and watering are counterproductive. See similar questions...

It is more difficult to grow "full sun quality grass" under the shade of a tree. The recommendation is to make the tree bed larger, proportionate to the tree size, following current arboricultural standards. Decaying organic matter (mulch) covering the root system of trees is excellent for tree health and can be far less frustrating than trying to grow grass in the shade. See similar questions...

Grass over 6 inches tall is a violation of the Housing Code and is classified as a minor misdemeanor. See similar questions...

Dormant seeding is fine; however, seed should be planted so there is good seed to soil contact. In the event we get early snow, do not plant the seed over the snow. In warmer regions seeding is better done in the spring. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

There's a significant amount of seed in each pillow. The grain at or above the water line in the pillow usually germinates and grows. However, if the pond water is toxic enough, it could prevent any plant growth. When the pillow is placed into the pond during very cool or freezing weather, the grass may be destroyed, or the seed germination damaged. The presence of the grass has no impact on what the pillow does for water quality. The grass growth is an added aesthetic value. See similar questions...

Vinton City Code defines tall grass as a nuisance when it is 8 inches tall in a developed residential or commercial area, 12 inches in a developed industrial area and 18 inches in an undeveloped area. See similar questions...

We tested 27 mulches in the field, and found that some supported more artillery fungus than others. In this study, resistant mulch was the large pine bark nuggets. The large bark nuggets stay hard and dry, conditions that the artillery fungus does not like. Cypress mulch also performed well, as it probably contains some anti-fungal, anti-decay chemical(s). See similar questions...

Interestingly, homeowners that put down new mulch each year generally have less of the artillery fungus problem. But, we have not confirmed this practice. But it does seem to work. Don't miss a year! See similar questions...

You really need to ask this question to a compost expert, but most good mulch today is composted to some degree. However, I would insist on a thoroughly composted mulch. See similar questions...

Granular fertilizers are more persistent in the soil; they are absorbed more slowly and last longer. They can be incorporated into the soil at planting or they can also be broadcast onto the surface of the soil of existing plants. Super phosphate, frequently lacking in western soils, is essential for plentiful flowers and strong root growth. Grow Power is an excellent all-purpose fertilizer especially for lawns. It should be worked into the soil when planting turf and ornamental grasses. See similar questions...

In most cases, no, you should not cover your plants for the wintertime. A protective mulch (salt marsh hay, pine boughs, straw, etc.) can be applied after the ground is frozen, and removed with the first thaw. Here in the Midwest that is very hard to do - since we typically have a December thaw, a January thaw, and Feb. and March thaws. The biggest killer of perennials is having the crown of the plant smother (or rot) in the late winter/ early spring. See similar questions...
