When it comes to getting to work, Empire State
residents spend more time getting from
home to the offi ce than any other people in
the United States. The most recent data from the United
States Census Bureau indicates that the average
New York worker spends 33.5 minutes getting to work
each day. Among those workers, 28 percent take public
transit while roughly 53 percent drive solo. On the
opposite end of the commuting spectrum sits South
Dakota. The average worker in the Mount Rushmore
State, where 81 percent of people drive solo to work,
spends just 17.3 minutes getting to the offi ce each
day. Perhaps surprisingly given the state’s reputation
as a haven for traffi c jams, California does not even
crack the top fi ve longest average commutes. But the
Golden State is sixth
on the list of longest
commutes in
2025, with residents
spending an average
of 29.8 minutes getting
to work in sunny
California.
HOW TO EFFECTIVELY SEED YOUR
LAWN FOR FALL
DFAMILY FEATURES ue to cooler temperatures and increased
moisture levels, fall provides ideal conditions
to help your lawn establish strong
roots before winter sets in. While the soil retains
warmth from the summer months, the cooler weather
minimizes the risk of weeds, allowing the new
grass to thrive without as much competition or intense
summer sun.
Transform your lawn this autumn with these seeding
tips for a lush, green yard next spring.
Choose the Right Seed for Your Region
Consider the climate of your region when choosing
grass seed. Cool-season grasses, such as Kentucky
bluegrass and fescue, thrive in northern regions,
while warm-season grasses like Bermuda and Zoysia
are better suited for southern climates. Choosing
the right seed blend can also help address issues
such as shade, drought and wear.
Prepare Soil for Optimal Growth
Start by testing your soil's pH (a measure of how
acidic or basic a substance is) and nutrient levels.
Most grasses thrive in soil with a pH level between
6-7 (on a scale to 14). Next, aerate the soil to alleviate
compaction and improve seed-to-soil contact,
which allows for better water infi ltration and root
growth, and remove debris, rocks and weeds from
the area to create an optimal environment for new
grass to grow.
Apply Seed for a Dense, Healthy Lawn
For even distribution of seeds, use a broadcast
spreader to apply half the seed in one direction and
the remaining seed perpendicular to the fi rst pass to
ensure thorough coverage. Lightly rake the soil to
incorporate seeds then use a roller to press them into
the ground. Light, frequent watering is best until the
seeds germinate and grass begins to grow.
