At Flymo we have many different lawnmowers that come with central height adjustment that allow you to easily change the cutting height by adjusting just one lever. This is where the soil particles have become too close to allow oxygen and water to circulate, which is essential for healthy grass growth.
To relieve compaction you need to aerate your lawn. This can be done using an aerator or by plunging a garden fork into the ground in regular intervals.

There are two ways to fix this and help your grass grow greener again. First, sharpen your mower blades. You really want to get a clean cut that appears as though you just snip on the grass blades.

You may even want to consider using a reel mower that does a cleaner cut compared to gas-powered mowers. Hi, Alex Kuritz. Growing up I remember that my family had one of the best lawns in the neighborhood. Richly green and lush. I can say I have years of experience, and I am here to share it with you. Please leave your comments below as I try to respond to everyone that has questions.
Yes everything you said are things to start doing now. Good to test the soil so you can balance that if out of whack. Sharp blades are a must and cut high as you can until it starts to come back green and lush. Then you can start playing with the height.
I just put in new sod seeds and dirt. The grass has been cut almost every week after I put in the new grass. The grass is turning yellow and turning all burnt. We have two dogs and of course there are pee stains on the grass. We all know that happens. Is it because the grass has been cut so many times after putting in new sod, seeds and dirt?
Please need you help! Hey Nadine, thanks for writing in. It could be a combination of things. It may be due to cutting it before it gets established and a strong root base.
It could be overwatering and it could be due to poor soil. But for getting the lawn established I would not cut it for a few weeks and cut back on the watering if you think you are watering too much. What type of grass do you have BTW? I really saturate the yellow spots with water but nothing seems to help.
Any thought or recommendations? HI Sara, it actually may be overwatered at this point. I would let it rest a few days as the fertilizer should already be soaked in enough but now it sounds like it needs to dry out to normalize. This year I still have the bare spot and in other areas the grass looks yellow. What is your thought on this please? Hi Dee, thanks for writing in. Seeding typically takes a few rounds for it to fill it thick.
