| What type of grass do you have now? Where do you live? Do you want the new grass to match what you have now? |

| West Michigan, KBG/fescue contractor mix planted 10yrs ago, it's way too nice to renovate... zero weeds, just want it to look nicer and get even thicker, so figured continue watering and overseed sept 1 |

| Wait! If you have nice grass now, and it is the mix you say, something is wrong. Any lawn with KBG should not be thin. What is your watering schedule? How often and for how long? Hopefully something will stick out as obvious from your answers to those questions. If not then your first/next step would be the $20 soil test from Logan Labs in Ohio. It could be something is preventing your grass from getting the uptake it should get from the soil. |

| I couldn't water it properly until I had sprinkling installed due to the drought and size. Now it gets .5" 2-3x a week of water, 2.75-3" cut when it reaches 4-5", a local company fertilizes it 6x a year, no insecticides but have had to get clover killed... not much shade. Also need to get grass back where the pipe puller split the sod etc |
