r/lawn

Re-seeded / overseeded / overhauled my lawn in the fall.

Prior to that I made every mistake in the book the last few years, effectively letting crabgrass go to seed and then mowing it wantonly across my entire lawn which I rarely watered.

I think I have about a 6000 sqft yard and I heavily overseeded with PRG on the fall and was way more attentive on watering and fertilizing.

I dropped fertilizer with crabgrass PRE in the right zone in March and have just simply been grandpa’s weeder plucking dandelions the last few weeks, but I’m noticing this start to crop up and spread

Is it something i need to attack before it becomes unmanageable or is it not a big deal?

Does my RTF look healthy? I'm using a robotic mower now.

I took photos and googled it and it says POA. Here in NJ I never had this kind of seed head growth
If it is POA and it dies off in this NJ heat wave should I rake it out and re seed.
Please help. Thanks

Started with no grass a few months ago. Had top soil put down and leveled with seeds. Feel like there’s a bunch of weeds growing and bald spots. Any tips to get it better?

Please let me know what I can do to get this better. Sorry for the overgrown yard too🥲

Hey all, looking for any help or advice on how to deal with my swampy lawn. The lawn is very mushy and seems high in clay. It retains water for days and I’m not able to cut the grass in a specific section because of how bad it is. There is nowhere to drain in the back and my neighbors don’t seem to have the issue like me. Do I need to get the lawn irrigated and raised with soil? Looking for any advice please and thank you!

Edit: I appreciate the recommendations of water gardens and trees but I am trying to keep the sun exposure and improve the soil to fully utilize my yard

Normally my lawn has greened up a lot more by this time of year. Granted, it has remained cooler for longer: nights in 30s F and days in 50-60s F mostly. So is the longer cooler weather causing this issue? Or is it fungus? Another note, I have been mowing much shorter than previously, at 2” rather than 3” which it had been in the past. Following same feeding schedule as last year, so not thinking that is a factor. My neighbors have mostly greener lawns, but some minor patchiness compared to mine. I’m beginning to think more and more the low mow height is the culprit.

I put new topsoil and used Jonathan Green Black beauty seed. This is 5 weeks post spreading I applied magical and starter fertilizer at the same time.
I’m hosting a graduation party @ the end of June and hoping this will fill in decently by then.
Should I be reseeding the more bare spots with annual to get it to thicken up or is it going to fill in? I’m in ct and have mowed it twice. It’s growing well where there is grass but it seems to be patchy.

Long story short I've got 3 hyper kids and a wild dog and I have tried a lot to make my backyard decent to no avail. I want to get rid of those clumps of green grass. First does anyone know what they're called and how I can kill them? They have crazy strong root bases and suck up all the water. I have used probably a dozen types of weed killer and nothing kills them. I believe I have Bermuda grass under those and I need a type of fertilizer that isn't super expensive that will help that grow. Is there any type of grass I can plant or a fertilizer I can use on what I have to get the grass to grow with kids and a dog playing in the backyard? Any help is appreciated.

My Bermuda new growth is turning light yellow. (Phoenix, AZ)

We just bought a new home and I've slowly been removing all the weeds in the Bermuda lawn for the past 4-5 weeks, which was quite a lot.

The empty spots that were all weeds are slowly starting to fill in now which is awesome. I put down around a lb or so per 1000 sq ft of 21-0-0 ammonium nitrate fertilizer to encourage growth and it seems like after a few days my new growth is now turning light yellow.

The established grass doesn't really seem to be affected. It was mid 70's when I put the fertilizer down and I watered it in well till it was all dissolved.

I’ve been watering 3 times per week, put out Triple 13 right after first pics were taken. Didn’t get it put out evenly in some areas I think I need to check the calibration of my spreader. But the yard has greened up nicely so far. In Arkansas

I’m in southern TX, just moved to a new place, and the lawn care has been rough. I noticed there are a lot of June bugs here so I spread some June bug killer in the soil thinking their grubs were eating up the roots of the lawn. Next because of the clay I decided to core aerate and then spread a thin layer of compost into the soil to help with the soil quality.
I water twice a week, running two cycles each day; once at 3am, and again at 4am, the idea being that having two shorter watering sessions will allow time for the clay soil to better absorb the moisture. It has also been the rainy season here, so it’s getting a little extra water every now and then, and I keep the mower up on level 4 but still seems to be the same cruddy color it was in winter and seems to not really be growing in at all, just staying half alive. Pretty sure the grass is Bermuda. I’ve been working at trying to cultivate this lawn for about 2 months now (basically since the growing season began) while preemptively spraying weeds over the colder months to get a head start on getting rid of weeds. I have successfully exterminated 98% of dandelions and 100% of the thistles that way. Anyways any tips and advice appreciated.

This crap seems to be widespread in about 25% of my backyard lawn. With temperatures settling in to near or above 100° I’m not sure what to do. I would appreciate any tips. I’ve had this lawn for 25 years and I Overseed annually with rye grass. I noticed some last year but it appears to be getting worse.

How much would yall charge to plant this 15 gallon crepe myrtle labor and material included? I paid $150 for tree.
