    The yellowing below is directly caused by the overgrown grass. The tall grass shades out the lower sections stopping photosynthesis. Cutting back restarts the process. This yellow grass now has access to light it didn't have before. By next cut it will be as green as the tall grass. Maybe give this grass some pot ash and nitrogen to accelerate the process however it is not necessary. With regular watering and access to light it will just take time. Good work!

    Honest question here, why did he mow in three different phases? First cut with no bag, followed by two separate cuts with a bag. The grass did not really seem that long and it seems like you could have just done it in one shot moving slower. I'm assuming there is a real reason for that process but wondering what the pros would say?

    Let’s talk about grass. A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in places such as lawns and parks. Grass is usually the color green. That is because they are wind-pollinated rather than insect-pollinated, so they do not have to attract insects. Green is the best colour for photosynthesis.
    Grasslands such as savannah and prairie where grasses are dominant cover 40.5% of the land area of the Earth, except Greenland and Antarctica.[4]
    Grasses are monocotyledon herbaceous plants. They include the "grass" of the family Poaceae, which are called grass by ordinary people. This family is also called the Gramineae, and includes some of the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae).[5] These three families are not very closely related, though all of them belong to clades in the order Poales. They are similar adaptations to a similar life-style.
    With about 780 genera and about 12,000 species,[3] the Poaceae is the fifth-largest plant family. Only the Asteraceae, Orchidaceae, Fabaceae and Rubiaceae have more species.[6]
    The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Uses for graminoids include food (as grain, shoots or rhizomes), drink (beer, whisky), pasture for livestock, thatch, paper, fuel, clothing, insulation, construction, sports turf[broken anchor], basket weaving and many others.
    Many grasses are short, but some grasses can grow tall, such as bamboo. Plants from the grass family can grow in many places and make grasslands, including areas which are very dry or cold. There are several other plants that look similar to grass and are referred to as such, but are not members of the grass family. These plants include rushes, reeds, papyrus and water chestnut. Seagrass is a monocot in the order Alismatales.
    Grasses are an important food for many animals, such as deer, buffalo, cattle, mice, grasshoppers, caterpillars and many other grazers. Unlike other plants, grasses grow from the bottom, so when animals eat grass they usually do not destroy the part that grows.[7] This is part of the reason why the plants are so successful.
    Without grass, more soil might wash away into rivers (erosion).

    I hired TruGreen to service my lawn because it was looking like this lawn (the after-mowing)I was told that it was mowed too low and when the lawn is mowed very low, the actual crowns of the grass plants themselves can be injured by the lawnmower blade, and this opens up a host of cascading problems. As the plant puts all its energy into recovering from the crown damage, it opens up a weakness in the lawn, increasing the pressure from weeds, insects, and diseases. I actually had been paying someone to mow my yard, so when I was finally able to afford a riding mower, I set the blades higher, and my lawn is now looking so green and lush.

      What?? Sun doesn’t need to reach the bottom of the blades, ie, the. stem. Where new blades will emerge from. The yellow is the color of either stressed grass, or the stem. Photosynthesis is only part of the grass. Chemistry, also carbon fixation. Which is why it can recover so well. Either way, if its a turf grass and or seasonal cut back, it’s never a good idea to debate a topic on TH-cam chat.

There are several other plants that look similar to grass and are referred to as such, but are not members of the grass family. These plants include rushes, reeds, papyrus and water chestnut. Seagrass is a monocot in the order Alismatales.
    Grasses are an important food for many animals, such as deer, buffalo, cattle, mice, grasshoppers, caterpillars and many other grazers. Unlike other plants, grasses grow from the bottom, so when animals eat grass they usually do not destroy the part that grows.[7] This is part of the reason why the plants are so successful.
    Without grass, more soil might wash away into rivers (erosion).
    Evolution of grass
    Grasses include some of the most versatile plant life-forms. They became widespread toward the end of the Cretaceous. Fossilized dinosaur dung (coprolites) have been found containing grass phytoliths (silica stones inside grass leaves).[8] Grasses have adapted to conditions in lush rain forests, dry deserts, cold mountains and even intertidal habitats, and are now the most widespread plant type. Grass is a valuable source of food and energy for many animals.[9]
    Grass and people
    Lawn grass is often planted on sports fields and in the area around a building. Sometimes chemicals and water is used to help lawns to grow.
    People have used grasses for a long time. People eat parts of grasses. Corn, wheat, barley, oats, rice and millet are cereals, common grains whose seeds are used for food and to make alcohol such as beer.
    Sugar comes from sugar cane, which is also a plant in the grass family. People have grown grasses as food for farm animals for about 4,000 years. People use bamboo to build houses, fences, furniture and other things. Grass plants can also be used as fuel, to cover rooves, and to weave baskets.
    Language
    In English, the word "grass" appears in several phrases. For example:
    "The grass is always greener on the other side" means "people are never happy with what they have and want something else".
    "Don't let the grass grow under your feet" means "Do something".
    "A snake in the grass" is about a person that will not be honest and will trick others.
    All flesh is grass: Old Testament book of Isaiah, chapter 40, verses 6-8. A very true observation of the present-day ecology. See the Miocene for the ecological relevance.
    Grass is a slang term for cannabis (pot, weed, or marijuana). Cannabis looks like a grass, but it is actually a rosid.

    Grass is a plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in a lawn and other places. Grass gets water from the roots in the ground. Grass is usually pigmented with the colour ‘green’. Grasses are monocotyledon, herbaceous plants.
    The grasses include the "grass", of the family Poaceae (also called Gramineae). Also sometimes it is used to include the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae). These three families are not closely related but belong to different clades in the order Poales. They are similar adaptations to a common life-style.
    The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Uses for graminoids include food (as grain, sprouted grain, shoots or rhizomes), drink (beer, whisky), pasture for livestock, thatching thatch, paper, fuel, clothing, insulation, construction, sports turf, basket weaving and many others.
    Many grasses are short, but some grasses, like bamboo can grow very tall. Plants from the grass family can grow in many places, even if they are very cold or very dry. Several other plants that look similar but are not members of the grass family are also sometimes called grass; these include rushes, reeds, papyrus, and water chestnut.
    Grasses are an important food for many animals, like deer, buffalo, cattle, mice, grasshoppers, caterpillars, and many other grazers. Unlike other plants, grasses grow from the bottom, so when animals eat grass they usually do not destroy the part that grows. Without grass, dirt can wash away into rivers (erosion).

Fossilized dinosaur dung (coprolites) have been found containing grass phytoliths (silica stones inside grass leaves).

Sometimes chemicals and water is used to help lawns to grow.
    People have used grasses for a long time. People eat parts of grasses. Corn, wheat, barley, oats, rice and millet are cereals, common grains whose seeds are used for food and to make alcohol such as beer.
    Sugar comes from sugar cane, which is also a plant in the grass family. People have grown grasses as food for farm animals for about 4,000 years. People use bamboo to build houses, fences, furniture and other things. Grass plants can also be used as fuel, to cover roofs, and to weave baskets. n English, the word "grass" appears in several phrases. For example: "The grass is always greener on the other side" means "people are never happy with what they have and want something else." "Don't let the grass grow under your feet" means "Do something". "A snake in the grass" is about a person that will not be honest and will trick others.
    Grass is sometimes used as a slang term for cannabis (also called pot, weed, or marijuana) The Grass type (Japanese: くさタイプ Grass type) is one of the eighteen types. Prior to changes in Generation IV, all damaging Grass-type moves were special, but they may now also be physical depending on the attack. Grass-type Pokémon are immune to Leech Seed. Grass-type Pokémon are immune to Leech Seed Starting in Generation VI, Grass-type Pokémon are immune to powder and spore moves and Effect Spore.Grass types are tied with Rock in having the most weaknesses out of all types with five. Since Generation I, a particular asset of Grass types is being the only type that is immune to Leech Seed. As of Generation VI, Grass-type Pokémon are also immune to powder and spore moves, such as Sleep Powder and Stun Spore. Additionally, Grass Pokémon are the only ones affected by Rototiller and Flower Shield. Those moves raise both attack stats or the physical Defense stat, respectively, when used. Forest's Curse adds the Grass type to the target's types. Grass-type attacks are resisted by seven types, so they're tied with Bug as the most resisted type. Those resistant types are best covered by Rock and Ground. As of Generation VI, Dark and Ghost have neutral matchups against every type that resists Grass. When Grassy Terrain is in the effect, the power of Grass-type moves is increased by 30% (50% prior to Generation VIII) if the user is on the ground.
    Contest properties In contests, Grass-type moves are typically Clever moves, but can also be any of the other four contest conditions. As of Generation VIII, there are 112 Grass-type Pokémon or 12.27% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Grass-type in at least one of their forms), making it the third most common type after Normal and before Flying.
    A Pokémon with Protean or Libero will become a Grass-type Pokémon if it uses a Grass-type move. A Pokémon with Color Change, Imposter, Mimicry, RKS System, or Multitype will become a Grass-type Pokémon if (respectively) it is hit with a Grass-type move, is sent out against a Grass-type opponent, if the terrain is grassy, if it is holding a Grass Memory, or if it is holding a Meadow Plate or Grassium Z. Since Generation VI, Grass-type Pokémon are also immune to Effect Spore; Only Grass-type Pokémon can have these Abilities. This does not include signature Abilities.Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG, Grass generally adopts all Bug-type Pokémon under its typing. It also adopted Poison-type Pokémon prior to the Diamond & Pearl set, after which they were moved to Psychic. Similar to the games, Grass-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to Fire and resist Water.
    Grass-type Pokémon are strong against Fighting and Water Pokémon, whilst Metal Pokémon resisted it until the EX Power Keepers expansion set. Generation V introduced the most Grass-type Pokémon of any generation, with 21 (including Rotom's Mow form), and Generation VI introduced the fewest Grass-type Pokémon, with nine. Generation I introduced the most Grass-type moves of any generation, with 10, and Generation II introduced the fewest Grass-type moves, with three.
    The Grass type and/or Pokémon of the type have been referred to using the term "plant" instead on some occasions: In the English Generation I games, the Gym guide in Cerulean Gym refers to Pokémon of the Grass type as "plant Pokémon". In the English versions of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, he instead mentions "Grass-type Pokémon". In the Japanese versions of the Generation I games and FireRed and LeafGreen, he mentions the Grass type itself, calling it the "Plant type" (Japanese: しょくぶつタイプ). Another reference to "plant Pokémon" (Japanese: しょくぶつポケモン) is made by Professor Oak in the Japanese Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue, and international Pokémon Red and Blue, classifying Bulbasaur as such when the player is about to choose it as their starter. This is also the case in the Japanese versions of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen; in contrast, he calls it the "grass Pokémon" in the English versions. This same reference is also used in the first episode of Pokémon Origins.
    In multiple languages, such as French and German, the Grass type is translated as the Plant type. The Turkish dub of the anime occasionally refers to "Grass type" as "Plant type". The Grass type has the most Pokémon that evolve by Evolution stones, with a total of 11. It is also the type that can utilize the most stones, having at least one Pokémon that can evolve via the Leaf Stone, Sun Stone, Water Stone, and Shiny Stone.The Grass type is the only type to have more than one HP-draining move, having five of them. Grass-type attacks deal doubly super-effective damage to the most Pokémon of all types. Grass-type attacks are super effective against the three types that Fire types are weak to. Fire is the only type that hasn't been paired with Grass. In Tree's a Crowd, Brock states that Grass-type Pokémon resist Electric-type moves due to being able to diffuse the electricity into trees and the ground. He also explains that if Grass types are in the air, they cannot diffuse the electricity from Electric attacks, thereby dealing normally effective damage.

    Cutting it short allows light to hit the roots causing the roots to grow deeper for water & making for a more healthier lawn.
    This is why cutting frequently 2-3 times a week is good for grass. At first it will look ugly, but after you’ll have a nice 1inch thick green lawn

    When you're on a quest for the perfect lawn, you're bound to encounter challenges. But you can breeze over hurdles with helping hands from those who have gone before you. With the following insider tips from two pros in the grass business, you can grow a lush, healthy lawn to its very best, making all the effort and care you expend in your yard worth it.
    SCOTT WOODWARD, WOODWARD TURF FARMS, REMINGTON, VA
    As a leader in Virginia's sod industry for more than 50 years, Woodward Turf Farms is known for excellence. When it comes to bringing premium grass seed to maturity, owner Scott Woodward understands what it takes. While he operates on a larger scale than the average homeowner, this pro knows how to nurture lush, healthy grass in thousands of acres or a single lawn.
    Woodward offers homeowners the following top four lawn tips:
    1. Choose top-performing grass varieties.
    In Woodward's eyes, seed choice is one of the most important aspects in growing exceptional grass and determining lawn performance. “The varieties that you have in your lawn are going to dictate what your lawn is," he explains. Drought-tolerant grass varieties, for example, produce drought-tolerant lawns, and proven performers deliver outstanding results.
    Water conservation is a primary concern for Woodward's broad customer base and for himself in his growing fields, where nature provides most of the irrigation. Woodward looks to Water Star grass varieties qualified by the Turfgrass Water Conservation Alliance (TWCA) services, such as Pennington Smart Seed grasses.
    “We only grow the TWCA water conservation grasses," says Woodward. “They are the most drought-tolerant, and they're tested for that." Water Star grass varieties must demonstrate statistically significant water savings over conventional, same-species varieties to earn the TWCA qualification.
    2. Always test your soil first.
    For homeowners serious about lawn care, Woodward starts with soil testing. “Soil testing is the most important thing." he emphasizes. At Woodward Turf Farms, every field is soil tested annually, and anyone seeking lawn care advice from the business won't get recommendations unless their soil is first tested.
    Woodward explains that soils vary, and knowing your soil pH through testing is critical to growing healthy grass. Without proper pH for nutrient transport and uptake, you can't get optimal results from your soil. “It can be worked with, but you have to know what you have," says Woodward. Soil testing provides that necessary starting point.
    3. Know the exact measurements of the area you maintain.
    Woodward stresses that you must have accurate measurements of your maintained grass areas in order to treat them effectively. “Knowing the size of the area that they're doing - the exact dimensions - is huge," he says. He finds that homeowners often look at their total lot size when calculating amounts of fertilizers or other treatments, and don't deduct for buildings, driveways and non-grass areas. He points out that when your home sits on an acre lot, the grass area you maintain is much less than an acre.
    Whether tending home lawns or his own fields, where every square foot is managed by GPS, Woodward underscores that over-estimating your maintained area causes problems. Over-applying fertilizer or other lawn treatments can be detrimental to lawns, and expensive.
    4. Consider working with a trained professional at first.
    Woodward acknowledges his strategy differs from homeowners, in that he starts sod from scratch every year, but the same important principles he and other pros follow to grow healthy turf apply. “Water, fertilization, weed control and mowing. Those are the things that we do here, and we pick good varieties," he explains.
    Woodward recommends learning from educational material available from reputable companies, but that's just the beginning. “If you don't know what you're doing ... I would definitely suggest a professional's help to at least get started," he advises. A trained lawn care professional may be the initial boost you need for long-term success.
    BEN RATSACHAK, 1ST GREEN LAWN, BENTONVILLE, AR
    In Northwest Arkansas, many homeowners turn to Ben Ratsachak of 1st Green Lawn for solutions to their lawn care problems. A specialist in lawn treatments, including fertilizer, weed control, overseeding and renovations, this pro is known for his focus on grass health and his willingness to share his expertise - even with competitors. “I like the open communication," he says.
    Ratsachak offers homeowners the following four tips:
    1. Understand your soil and water requirements.
    Ratsachak compares a healthy lawn to a healthy body, stressing the importance of what you put in it. “If you want to be healthy, you've got eat good food," he explains. But not all homeowners understand the important roles soil and water play in growing healthy lawns, so he puts those two factors at the top when assessing their lawns. “The first thing I look at is the soil, and if they have sprinkler systems," he says.
    Ratsachak also points out that soil conditions and soil depths can vary considerably between neighbors, because builders may use different soils when grading. So, he cautions that homeowners shouldn't try to compare their lawns or lawn needs with their neighbors. Every lawn and its soil is different, and water and treatment needs vary accordingly.
    2. Read and follow product instructions closely.
    In Ratsachak's experience, a lack of knowledge and a misunderstanding of product labels cause many preventable home lawn problems. Some homeowners overuse products, such as fertilizers or weed controls, and over treat lawns; others fail to understand that timing is critical for herbicide and fertilizer applications. So, he suggests reading labels carefully and seeking help when necessary. “If you're not sure, learn from someone that knows."
    Ratsachak also emphasizes that a healthy lawn takes time. While you may want to speed things up, over-applications won't help. “It's a process, not a one-time thing," he says. Patience pays off.
    3. Adjust mowing height and frequency according to weather.
    For simple steps to improve your lawn, especially if you don't use a sprinkler system, Ratsachak recommends changing mowing habits during warm weather. Mow higher, he advises, so the grass height helps protect the root system, and increase your mowing frequency when needed. “Make sure you mow your lawn high, at least 3 to 4 inches. Four inches is ideal," says Ratsachak.
    He also cautions against mowing grass short in a single cutting in an effort to mow less often. “That will injure the lawn," he warns. Instead, reduce your mowing height by gradually lowering your blades over several mowings until you reach the desired mowing height.
    4. Be willing to invest time and effort.
    Ratsachak's final advice for serious lawn enthusiasts is to understand that lush, healthy lawns take effort. New clients often ask him to make their lawns golf course quality. He can do it, "but you have to do your part, too," he says. Golf course care is intensive and includes several mowings per week, something most homeowners won't realistically do. “Are they willing to spend the time on it? It's not going to happen overnight," says Ratsachak. Only those willing to sacrifice their time and alter their habits will yield rewards.
    By drawing on the advice of these pros, you can put their knowledge to action and enjoy the benefits of their expertise in your lawn. Pennington Seed is dedicated to producing the finest grasses available and helping you grow the lush, healthy lawn you deserve.

    This appears to be Saint Augustine…which is actually a vine. Believe or not Saint Augustine should be cut with the deck/blade set at 4” to 4.5”. The only time it should be cut below 3.5” is at the beginning of spring. This will allow sunlight to penetrate the leaves on top and warm the dormant roots signaling its spring time to grow.
    In this case it appears they have allowed to much time in between cuttings. Cutting often and maintaining a good sharp mower blade cannot be stressed enough. This grass will be fine, if watered and cut correctly. Any damaged caused by the overgrowth will repair itself…there is really no need to put anything other than good old H20. I promise

    I landscaped for 13 years and we would scalp grass all the time but I was always taught that you do not do it all in one go. You'll want to cut the grass at the highest point of the push mowers setting while bagging it then drop it down one then next time you cut it (usually every week), you then cut it mid way down the mowers notch the next week. Then you scalp the grass and water well and let it grow to about ankle height before cutting it again. (Also never scalp grass in a drought or hottest season)

      Grass should actually be cut different heights, according to the type. Cool season grasses, such as tall fescue, does best about 3 to 4 inches. Warm season turf, such as Bermuda and Zoysia, 1.5 to 2 is better. At the U of TN agricultural farm I saw some dwarf St. Augustine that was only about 1/4 inch tall. They had to plant it on sand, and use a roller to smooth it out before mowing. They also had to use a reel mower, as the center bolt on a rotary mower would dig up the turf. This wasn't for lawns, but putting greens. Now I'm rambling, so...

      I have a neighbor like this. He constantly asks why mine looks so green and healthy. It's because I cut it at 4 inches, that's the max height on my mower. (And that's about how deep the roots are.) He scalps his, saying he doesn't like to mow, and thinks he won't have to mow as often. I asked "How often do you mow?"
      He replied "Every Thursday." (He drinks and parties on Fri and Sat, hungover on Sunday.)
      I said "Raise your mower as high as it will go, and then mow every Thursday. The first week, you may only hit the high clumps. The 2nd week, you'll be cutting about half the grass, and by the 3rd week you'll be cutting it all. It will green up beautifully."
      After 2 weeks he went back to scalping and subsoiling, saying "Hell, it doesn't look like I was doing anything!".
      I warned him it was going to kill his lawn, but he didn't care, wouldn't have to mow at all then. It did, yard turned to a mud hole, their 2 kids and all their friends ruined the carpet. She made him replace it all. They now have cardboard and plywood on the front yard. Gorgeous, lawn of the year.

      Same as mine, cuts it almost down to the dirt. It's thinned over the years and now bare in the centre. Throws his clippings over the back fence into an unutilised weedy area where they have formed a nice big compost pile against his timber fence, presumably rotting it. I've started using his clippings pile to mulch over the weeds and around the trees I've planted over there, and hopefully save their fence. Waste not, want not.

      You do not cut grass that low during summer months. You want to keep the grass at the highest length so that the roots stay moisturize. Cutting grass that low puts a strain on your yard during extreme heat. I’m sure of this because it’s the rule I go by and my yard has never went dormant. And I live in the Midwest where summers are very hot.

      Sorry mate, the owner got the grass too long. If you don’t cut it back to the height you want, it’ll learnt to be that height and it’ll keep being long. In aus during summer we have to mow every week to keep it under control because it grows like weeds. With a bit of water and fertiliser this lawn will be back to being green a lush in a week.

      You are correct for a bit. If it's during the hot and dry period of our weather you should cut it to about 3 inches high because then you have a roots system that is 3 inches deep. But knocking down a yard this bad always gets the yellow dying grass look. With a little water it comes right back.

  • @rexanderson5024

  • @Joeypoo_President

    rass is a plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in a lawn and other places. Grass gets water from the roots in the ground. Grasses are monocotyledon, herbaceous plants.
    The grasses include the "grass", of the family Poaceae (also called Gramineae). Also sometimes it is used to include the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae). These three families are not closely related but belong to different clades in the order Poales. They are similar adaptations to a common life-style.
    The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Uses for graminoids include food (as grain, sprouted grain, shoots or rhizomes), drink (beer, whisky), pasture for livestock, thatching thatch, paper, fuel, clothing, insulation, construction, sports turf, basket weaving and many others.
    Many grasses are short, but some grasses, like bamboo can grow very tall. Plants from the grass family can grow in many places, even if they are very cold or very dry. Several other plants that look similar but are not members of the grass family are also sometimes called grass; these include rushes, reeds, papyrus, and water chestnut.
    Grasses are an important food for many animals, like deer, buffalo, cattle, mice, grasshoppers, caterpillars, and many other grazers. Unlike other plants, grasses grow from the bottom, so when animals eat grass they usually do not destroy the part that grows. Without grass, dirt can wash away into rivers (erosion).
    Graminoids include some of the most versatile plant life-forms. They became widespread toward the end of the Cretaceous. Fossilized dinosaur dung (coprolites) have been found containing grass phytoliths (silica stones inside grass leaves). Grasses have adapted to conditions in lush rain forests, dry deserts, cold mountains and even intertidal habitats, and are now the most widespread plant type. Grass is a valuable source of food and energy for many animals.
    Lawn grass is often planted on sports fields and in the area around a building. Sometimes chemicals and water is used to help lawns to grow.
    People have used grasses for a long time. People eat parts of grasses. Corn, wheat, barley, oats, rice and millet are cereals, common grains whose seeds are used for food and to make alcohol such as beer.
    Sugar comes from sugar cane, which is also a plant in the grass family. People have grown grasses as food for farm animals for about 4,000 years. People use bamboo to build houses, fences, furniture and other things. Grass plants can also be used as fuel, to cover roofs, and to weave baskets.
    In English, the word "grass" appears in several phrases. For example:
    "The grass is always greener on the other side" means "people are never happy with what they have and want something else."
    "Don't let the grass grow under your feet" means "Do something".
    "A snake in the grass" is about a person that will not be honest and will trick others.
    Grass is sometimes used as a slang term for cannabis (also called pot, weed, or marijuana)

    He didn’t kill it. It just wasn’t maintained. It looks like fescue (could be wrong), and it looks like he cut it to the correct height (3 inches). If watered properly and soil conditions are good, it will grow back green. The yellowing is because it too much had to be cut in one mow

    He hasnt killed the grass as such hes just cut too much from the length before. With regular watering and sunlight it should grow back no bother but he did cut it uncorrectly.
    Grass generally speaking should never be cut more than half the length that its currenlty at in one attempt. Take half the grass off max then wait 4-5days before taking the same off again. That is the safest way to maintain life in grass... afterall it is just another plant!😊

I took him the neighbor a treat with my kids and apologized to him and said don’t worry about it sir, sweetheart I usually take care of our grass. The point is he had a beautiful yard.
