r/lawncare

Fine, I’ll admit. I took my slides off and walked on it barefoot. Felt the softness on my feet. That’ll show him!!!!

Did a lawn reno and added irrigation. This patch is thicker than anything I've ever come across. I mow twice a week. 4 days after my last cut I dropped the mower 1 notch. It damn near killed my 7.25 ft lb mower. Had to move at a snail pace to cut this. Went through the rest of the lawn with no issues

Mind the edges. Had to get to hockey

Centipede grass/ coastal SC. Does this look like glyphosate damage? I suspect my neighbor did this to me. I was out of town, and at the time only had one ring camera set up and not towards the gate. I now have the gate locked and an updated camera facing that area. This pic is ~2 weeks after brown spot appeared. It’s been 4 weeks and still the same. Live in SC, been real dry summer although we have had a fair amount of rain in the last 4 weeks. Coincidently Tr-green treated my yard while I was gone (iron) and I initially thought they did something. I don’t think extra iron would do this.

I can’t for the love of god get the seed in my back yard to come in. It was put down about three weeks ago but has become infested with weeds.

I have noticed birds eating the seed(under the straw) but can’t keep them off it l. Especially while at work.

What products should I buy to get the grass growing?

I have begun ripping up the netting as well to pull the weeds. Should I rip up all the netting?

I have a huge patch of crab grass in my lawn, and I’m hoping for tips on how to handle this while overseeding. In my mind I have 3 options:

1. Nuke the patches with weed killer (glyphosate)
2. Try pulling it all by hand or with a tool
3. Leave it be and hope the seeds get under the crab grass and onto the soil

Location is Kansas City. If this is a stupid question feel free to call me out

Z8B Virginia how should I attack this patch of dallisgrass? It's about 20ft long by 2.5 wide

It separates properties. I was thinking of a cosmetic wooden wall and boxed mulch for the divided. I can't bring up the bushes because it creates a traffic blind spot

I try to mow twice a week, once a week at the very least. My deck is clean, but my blade needs sharpening. Other than that, I can’t figure out what to do with all these clippings. The piles aren’t going anywhere and they’re just getting worse. I’ve tried mowing back over in a different direction and it just lays a new line down

This is a new build lawn with some fescue and Bermuda, but a ton of weeds. Do I need to physically remove these?

What is this and how do I eradicate it

It’s been 100 and higher now for a few weeks and isn’t letting up. Had new Bermuda out in about 3 months or so ago. Came in fine, not sure if I’m now watering it too little or too much?

Sprinklers are Hunter pro spray with mo rotators that’s state they dump 0.4 per hour. Grass is on a slight slope. I’ve had the sprinklers set to water every other day starting at 4am for one hour per zone, so it that should get enough down over the week. Should I change to every day during this heat and how much if so?

I’ve included a few photos if any of your wonderful people could tell me if I need to water more or less?

Also getting some kind of crab grass starting to come in?

Thanks in advance for your help 😃💦 ☀️

I’m located in NW Iowa and first time renovating my lawn, leveling and planting with GCI tall turf type fescue. Two Saturdays ago I bought Roundup Weed and Grass killer you can buy at any box store. Double the dosage per instructions and the next day yard was killed. Two days later on Tuesday, noticed some green here and there which I knew could be normal, so the next day I used the same RoundUp and doubled the dosage again.

Days went by and noticed that the green was more visible throughout the yard. So three days ago on a Sunday I bought 41% Glyphosate weed and grass killer, followed the instructions, sprayed and as of today, there’s still green grass throughout my yard.

Do I just say f it and throw down screening top soil & grass seed over this weekend? Any help would be greatly appreciated

This driveway and lawn were put in last year. The driveway is not 90 degrees on the edge. It slopes at the bottom towards the lawn.

Do I just fill it with top soil and seed? Can I chip away the asphalt to make it 90degrees?

Any idea what’s happening and why? And how to address it? In the Chicago suburbs

Hello, I am looking to establish a new lawn here in west Texas. After some research it seems my most viable options are to plant either bermuda or zoysia. From here I've learned that using seeds for both of the types is unlikely to work due to their difficulty. So pods/sod are my more viable options. Time is not a big issue but i know that some of the best times for planting are soon

So starting there my first question is for a yard this size would i have to buy sod for the entire lawn? If that's the case, so be it, but is there the potential that I could grow a whole lawn from pods or some patches of sod.

Water pools heavily and the dirt is clay heavy and clumpy when wet. Many neighbors just lay their sod on top and they seem to get mixed results. Is tilling necessary in order to aerate and mix in better soil? I feel more inclined to try a soil softener and lay a couple inches of top soil if that's even needed.
