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
This may be ragebait for a few...
We built a new house May 2025, Milwaukee WI. Builder’s landscaper did finish grade and seeded our lot. 12 months now and we have big bare spots, small to medium rocks, and many scattered small bare spots. Is this acceptable? How do we fix this?
Edit: Yes, we took care of the lawn with professional services over the initial summer and fall. Was told by builder it should look much better by spring 2026 and this is what we got.
Top seed or wait?
I have been doing lawn maintenance after not doing much for a few years. Size 60 Sqm. Had lots of weeds on the lawn, thatch build up and uneven ground.
So I rented a scarifier and did two passes over the whole lawn. Then I rented an aerator and went over it.
To level and prepare for over-seeding, I have put in 16 bags of Westland Lawn and Turf Dressing and leveled with leveling rack. This has helped to level but still have low spots.
I am now wondering if I should proceed with putting the seeds in - I have 2 boxes of Rolawn medallion 1Kg lawn seed since the original lawn was Rolawn medallion and I want to match the grass. Given the temperatures are forecast to reach low 30s in the next few days, would this be a good time to over seed? Or I should wait for them to drop. I understand I will need to keep the ground wet for a week or so for the seeds to germinate. But would they in this weather? Any advice is appreciated.
I am also considering renting a garden roller and going over the lawn for flatten it more. What do you guys think?
I would like to get it perfectly leveled, but I was told I cannot do it in one go and will have to fill in the low spots over time. But I am wondering if inside bite the bullet and do it all now.
Central Indiana. I am moving to a new construction home and trying to decide if I want to plant a PRG/KBG mix or some type of fescue blend. Either way I like a deep green color and want a good cultivar of grass.
Open to suggestions please.
Bought this house last year in eastern PA. The inside and outside has been neglected. I’ve managed to concur a ton and it’s starting to look nice except for the lawn is pretty bad. The front yard is grass with some cover mixed in and it looks fine but this back yard I’m not loving the creeping Charlie and would prefer grass. How do I get rid of the Charlie and have grass by next year?
Hey guys - I’m assuming this is the right place to put this. Moved into a new house and garden was a mess. Have trimmed and mowed but it’s like 90% weeds. How do I fix this???
There is a pack of 4in1 evergreen left in the shed but not sure if that will even do it or if it’s the way to go about it. Thanks in advance (I hope)!
Just moved into this house and the backyard is a mess. What steps should I take to prep and get this yard looking good again? I have 2 dogs so anything that is more pet friendly is welcome but not required
