By the side of my house, there is this like i dont know what to call it, like a stream of water, everything that you can see with tall grass its because there is water there. I tried trimming it with a weed trimmer but when you cut some of those plant, they give like a rash and immediately starts to itch desperately.
Is there any chemical that I can use to kill those plants!?
Need help identifying this weed. Thorny stem and small green leaves. Has a crazy long root system that is 2-3x the size of the weed. Its super hard to dig up so I tried a broad weed killer and it did nothing. The smaller ones are new. Larger one is a more mature one that I can only control by trimming it.
Went on vacation for a week and came home to this. The grass does not pull up easily and these spots appear only in one part of the yard. Any idea what I am dealing with?
In Glasgow, Scotland. I have been gardening for this property for a few months. Scarified in spring and have been feeding since. Grass was looking good, but I took two weeks off and when I came back there were odd burnt patches sporadically over the lawn. Anyone have any idea what happened? The back lawn does not have these burn marks, and I've been treating them both the exact same.
please I need help on what to do to these weeds. some grow under the mulch which granted we did not lay a barrier but still. they’re also growing under the rocks, which we did lay a barrier. any spray that could kill these weeds. they’re different types of weeds I know but willing to grab as many Home Depot spray as necessary. help pls this is frustrating. everything we have done did not work.
We had the yard sodded and sprinklers installed last summer. This year we are struggling. We have Morgan’s come out each month and treat. They say it’s too dry. The city is limiting how much we can water. What the heck can we do to not have all our grass die. It honestly bums me out looking at my own beautiful sea o’ green. Anyone got any advice?
I live in northern co and my grass is TTTF. I think my irrigation was not dialed in correctly and these areas were not getting watered properly. Is there anything besides trying to hand water deeply to bring these back before fall or do I just have to wait?
Been fighting Poa and crab grass most of the season… I think it’s getting too hot for the poa but need some thoughts on keeping the ceab grass in check. The stuff I used burned the Bermuda but it’s starting to grow through finally! I think some of the brown spots may also be the poa that is dying out.
So was out country for some months, asked some guy to mow the lawn. Now that I am back, how do I handle the weeds? So I just use weed and feed or use weed stop first and then fertilizer??
Trying to figure out what kind of grass we have laid on our yard. Also tried to ChatGPT it and it said it could possibly be Bermuda but it could also be mixed….. not sure. Any idea? How do you tell?
Editing post: I see some people are saying it’s mixed with Bermuda and crabgrass, how would you go about handling a yard like this? Would you dispose of and replant new seed or would you just replant new seed over what is there? We do plan on core aerating and detaching the yard here soon. So would it be wise to get rid of the crab grass first?
Hi! I’m new to this game. Any idea what is causing these weird dry spots? I swear they are getting enough water. The soil is more compact where it is dry. Also, is this tall fescue?
TY!! (Draper Utah)
We had our lawn put in 2 years ago and each year it’s gotten worse. Last year I thought grubs were the culprit and the dying seemed to slow down after adding a treatment, but this year it’s started happening again. We did another bug treatment with BugBGon in mid April which hasn’t helped. We’ve hired a lawn company to help us because we’re so lost now. I’ve done so much research on lawns and it’s just not doing what I expected it to do lol. The lawn company has said they’re very sure it’s not grubs, and it just seems like the ground is too dry, we need to water more. BUT I did a tuna can test today and one run of the sprinklers for 30 minutes gives about an inch of water. We run the sprinklers 2x a week for 40 minutes (I just upped it to 3 times a week per the lawn companies recommendation but it feels excessive, especially with the current drought). I don’t see any evidence of fungal issues, and all of our neighbours lawns seem to be doing ok so I don’t know where we’re going wrong? I know rehabbing it will take a while and it won’t look nice right away, but at this point I just want to stop it from dying more so we can get it stable.
Additional info:
-The front half of the lawn doesn’t get any shade whatsoever. The back half gets shade for about half of the day. Our backyard lawn is similar in that only half gets any shade but it’s not struggling nearly as bad.
-We’ve recently signed up to get some additional water retention treatments from the lawn company
-We water at 3:30am on Wednesday and Saturday
-the super dead area at the very front is what died and never came back last year, the yellow grass is what has died this year
-it’s Kentucky blue grass
I sprayed week killer nothing happened it fills up my grass but I don’t want it to take over my grass please help idk what weeds these are
This was sod put in last year September in Missouri. I believe it is a fescue mix. Would seeding this area help fix the issue? It’s pretty thin and not healthy looking. It looks like some dead grass underneath and I’m wondering if dethatching this fall would be a good idea
Most importantly need to get to the backyard to a broken AC unit. Perfect job not needed but enough so we can get it done ourselves easily in the future.
Starting to l get hotter here in the northeast. Beginning to see sporadic brown spots in my lawn. Can’t tell if it’s dead grass or I’m not watering enough. Seems like the grass still has roots because when I pull at it it’s intact to the soil. Any suggestions for help ?
