He says it’s TTTF over seeded with Barenbrug RTF. Apparently we’re putting liquid iron on soon 😂 just wanted to show off his hard work!!

I was doing some yard work and noticed a buzzing sound. It was coming from the lawn, but I have no clue why. Did attend to scrape off an inch of the turf in that spot, but then the buzzing went away.

This year I've noticed more and more ant hills forming in my front yard. I suspect there's a giant ant hill below as there are multiple entrances. I have put down some Trizaicide down with my spreader but didn't seem to work as I saw the hills return a week later. Is there any surefire way of killing them for good? Would like to ensure my yard doesn't get damaged in the process if possible.

Laid these bad boys down yesterday morning before my my family came up for a cookout, had to make sure the yard was looking fresh for everyone who came up

I have been trying to figure out what is wrong with my Bermuda. For background, I treated with headway G thinking it was possible fungal issue. I aerated thinking it was a compact soil issue a month ago. I’ve treated with fertilizer. Sprinklers work and I’ve done the tuna test. I officially have no clue what to do. It just keeps getting worse. The first picture was when I started trying to improve. Second is recent. It’s just getting worse. Any ideas on what this issue is???

Central Illinois. I assume it’s some sort of weed. Hasn’t been there all spring.

Neighbor’s oak tree rained acorns all over our property last fall and I did a bad job keeping up with them. Mowing and string trimmer didn’t help, they just grow back. Tried pulling, but they snap without getting the whole root out.

Any advice?

Basically as title says. Went outside to let my dog out and noticed about half my backyard grass burned from the fireworks. Thoughts on how I can fix this? Live in Houston, Texas experiencing extreme drought.

This is a never ending battle with my lawn. What’s weeds are these and how do I get rid of them before fall overseed?

florida man trespassed late last night probably. idk anything about maintaining the lawn (clearly). I pay a guy to mow it every two weeks he doesn’t do anything else. normally I choose to focus on my vegetable garden and not fuss about the lawn it behaves for the most part but this is just awful. do I just fill it w soil and say a prayer ??? i’m worried the HOA is gonna get involved over this one bc it faces the lake and they’re big on monitoring that area

A buddy of mine has a landscaping and lawn business and made a drone show of his yard (and neighbors). Scalped the stars but looks great. KY

New to this area and haven’t had a lawn in 40 years. Have some patching and some spotted splurge.
Asking for type of grass I have, should I have it cut taller in the summer ( Zone 9B ) and weed advice.
TIA

Just had this installed yesterday in DFW, and the soil underneath is wet. Is this sod dead?

This broad leafed grass has settled into the bare patches during our run of hot weather in central New Jersey. It pretty soft, unlike crab grass and I assume color will darken as it matures. What’s the verdict? Should I keep it or pull it?

Edit: Survey says… Crab Grass!

It grows back pretty quickly and I can’t seem to get rid of it. East Central Indiana.

I’ve been taking care of my girlfriend’s lawn.
She’s put several restrictions on me and I’ve been doing my best to keep it in good shape.
No pest or herbicides not ferts. and keep any costs to a minimum.
Generally speaking since ive taken over it in the spring it’s improved a lot at least visually. But it does have its problems.

It’s very uneven lots of low spots.
The “Creeping Charlie” and other I guess ground covers is a crazy.
Pokeweed and milkweed keep popping up.

I’ve been really working at making it look and feel good as a lawn.

My question is what can I do to .. I guess the word is “fortify” it and Improve its over all quality on a budget and without chemicals.

My goal isn’t necessarily to have a perfect weed free lawn.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Included a picture at the end to explain the general make up of the lawn.
