Could you please advise me how to care for pampas grass?Pampas grass grows best in full sunshine, in average, well-draining soil. Most folks like to leave the browned grass intact throughout the winter months to provide interest to the winter landscape. If you'd like to go that route, simply leave the grass alone until the spring when you see new growth appearing and then cut out all the browned grass. Otherwise, you can cut the foliage back in the autumn. |

DethatchingThatch is a problem only when it becomes too thick. A layer of thatch 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick is beneficial to the lawn. It buffers soil temperatures and adds to the resilience of the lawn, thereby reducing the compaction of soil that can result from heavy use. |

Dormant SeedingOne more thing... You probably treasure the lawn care "off season" as a time of rest and relaxation. Now, you get to gaze out the window and reflect on all you did this season to grow a more beautiful lawn and garden. |

But in reality, that thick, lush carpet of grass does much more than just increase the value of our property. Few people recognize the important role that healthy turf plays in our environment. |
