What are the first signs that your lawn is being damaged due to scalping?

April 9th, 2009

rascoe627 asked:


My looked healthier when I was cutting it every 7 to 10 days compared to every two weeks. I’ve noticed the grass isn’t looking as healthy in some areas. I never used a mulcher and never water my lawn.

If I go back to cutting my lawn every 7 to 10 days, will it start looking healthy again without adding freuent watering or mulching?

I am pretty sure you need to water your grass to make sure it lives beter…

if u cut your grass less it will become more healthy.

Anything that you do to your grass ie.. cutting, fertilization, pest control applications will stress your grass. Mow your grass every 5 days at three inches especially if you use a lawn application service or fertilize yourself. you can fertilize every 4 weekswith 12/12/12 starter fertilizer and need to water your grass in the morning regularly.
It should come back if you take special care.

You have to be willing to water the grass in the summer or it will go into dormancy until the fall when it rains. 2 weeks is probably too long to wait to mow a lawn, the grass is probably too tall and each time you cut it you are taking off too much of the grass blade and the lawn is going into shock. Each time you mow you should be taking off no more than 1/3 of the grass blade. You should mow at least once per week.
