Lawn recovery question
The last of the snow melted off my lawn a few weeks back. I made the
last cut pretty short last year (2 1/2 inches), but there still is a lot of flattened, matted, yellow grass all over the lawn. Do I need to rake this all out or will it disappear over time? |

It all depends upon what sorts of grasses you have. Some grasses brown out
over winter dormancy, only to green up once the weather warms. If snow has *just* melted, it will take a few days of consistently warmer weather to trigger growth. If you do rake, now would be a good time to over seed in an effort to crowd out opportunistic weeds which might spring up in the raked out bear patches. -- David J.
