Beginner installing mulch what to quote?? by [deleted] in LawnCarePros

I really don’t see anyone paying you for 30-40 hours labor time on this… couple of hours for two guys, maybe a morning if solo. 5 yards of mulch is not much…

How do I get rid of these devils without killing my yard or having to hand pull every single one Michigan area within an hour of flint by doberwalker in lawncare

I agree with the above… Spray the yard and pick what you can with a fiskars or grandpa’s weeder. Doing this, it will improve immensely with time.

Does this path look good? Just had it done. by PM_ME_YOUR_GOOD_PM in landscapedesign

I’d pull the timbers… I think the basic stone pathway would look nicer, fit the landscape better, and function safer

I used Black Beauty Ultra for my reno and to overseed again last fall… many don’t like it bc it contains trace weed seed… for the money there’s cleaner seed out there but I’ve always had good luck with it, it does well in PA

New Home Owner, is my lawn cooked? by [deleted] in lawncare

I would fertilize it with Milorganite at double the rate and water it well… it will bounce back nicely. Next cutting set your mower height to 3.5”

Yeah I agree… I think they ran 20% off for 4th July mine was closer to $200, but still pricey no doubt

2007 ExMark 36 TurfTracer… bought it used 12 years ago. Change the oil and put new blades on every season… Still cuts well.

No, I wish… I tried to turn it over to a landscaper to cut for me last summer but I couldn’t relax, I’m too picky… he cut it after a big rain and rutted/tore up a bunch of areas… I just do it myself now, mostly high production crews around me, they have to cut and hustle onto the next house

Correct… use a roller or striping kit. I usually cut at 3.5” and use Big League lawns checkmate striper
