Nutsedge is a light, apple-green colored weed, and it grows faster than grass. It requires a specific herbicide to control which is applied during the summer. It is a perennial that spreads via underground nutlets. Do not pull the nutsedge out because it will encourage it to spread more rapidly.

The lawn should not be cut for 8 hours after application. Also, children and pets should be kept off for 2 hours or until the application is dry.

• The best time of year to seed is between mid-August to mid-October.

Mushrooms are usually a sign of a healthy lawn because it is indicative of organic matter being present which is good. They appear in the lawn when conditions are warm and wet.

There is no product to spray on a lawn to kill mushrooms without harming turf so we do not offer a application for this problem. You must remove them via mowing, rake or pulling with hands. This does not completely remove or kill the mushroom as the mycelium is in the soil and the part we see above the soil is the fruiting body. After removal of the fruiting body they may reappear quickly if the conditions are correct.
