I am in a new house and in the spring I had sod put down on my from lawn part of it turned out good and the other part didn't do so good. There is crabgrass and weeds in it. I have asked the expert a couple of times through this web but never heard anything back both times. Can you suggest what I can do help my grass come back and look good either now or for next year?
Answer:
The fouled strips of sod should be replaced because the stuff that shouldn't be there will just keep spreading to foul the rest of the lawn.
