My new lawn looked great the first 7 years we lived in our new home. Now it is starting to look bad — Why?
BOB: The first seven years with a new lawn is called the “honeymoon period”. After that, you’ll start to see problems mostly related to thatch buildup. Then “the honeymoon is over!” Try to core-aerate your lawn once or twice a year from the time it is planted — that’s good “preventive maintenance”.
