We dig into salt-damaged coastal soil, D4 exceptional drought, the right mowing height for each grass type, masonry sand vs. play sand for repairs, and ground pearl, the underground pest with no chemical fix that's quietly destroying Southern lawns. Plus: why soil testing should be step one for every problem lawn, and what fall armyworms are doing to yards right now.
