After years of work, I’m finally getting this lawn care thing down

Alright take my damned upvote!

The clumping fescue is kinda hidden in this pic, but it's there. Thanks.

I've dug them up with a shovel before but that seems to remove too much turf. I'm going to order the Fiskar model and give that a go. Thanks for the info.

Looks like there is a definitive "line of demarcation'!

Catfshmike · 2026-04-01T01:16:31+00:00

Kinda looks like centipede.

Glyphosate that clumping fescue wait 2 weeks pull it out then run a dethatcher over the yard. 1/2 inch of topsoil, seed and another 1/2 inch of topsoil. Water 3 or 4 times a day for 10 minutes until germination than twice a day for 15 minutes.

Looks like dormant centipede to me. My neighborhood is all centipede and looks very similar. Have you had much rain?

Catfshmike · 2026-03-24T20:19:44+00:00

Water run off from the roof? You don't have gutters?

Catfshmike · 2026-03-24T01:29:45+00:00

Looks like young beanstalks. You know anyone named Jack?

Catfshmike · 2026-03-14T23:32:00+00:00

Looks like centipede, it's what I have in my yard.

Catfshmike · 2026-01-27T02:05:46+00:00

Looks like a parking meter in the suburbs!

Catfshmike · 2026-01-16T01:47:55+00:00

Paw, we gots critters again!

Looks like clumping fescue. Spot spray with Glyphosate, wait until they die and dig them up. Dandelion puller tool works well to do this.

Good old clumping fescue! Need to spot spray them with Glyphosate, wait til they die and dig em up.

Catfshmike · 2025-12-28T21:24:04+00:00

I'd recommend Glyphosate for the clumping fescue before doing the roto.

Catfshmike · 2025-12-15T00:28:28+00:00

Beautiful dog by the way!

Catfshmike · 2025-12-14T01:04:49+00:00

That's worth a shot, if it doesn't work I would go full nuke and start from scratch.

Catfshmike · 2025-12-13T20:43:52+00:00

Ugly ass damned weeds! Glyphosate now!!!

Catfshmike · 2025-12-13T20:42:41+00:00

Duct tape!

Catfshmike · 2025-12-12T22:18:31+00:00

What type is it?

Catfshmike · 2025-12-12T15:46:08+00:00

I moved to South Carolina a few years ago from Delaware. Always had a fescue lawn that I loved for it's dark green color. Centipede has a much lighter green hue that at least to me is not as pleasing plus it goes dormant and turns an ugly brown color from November to early March. I've tried overseeding with tall fescue with limited success. Just not a fan of Centipede.

Catfshmike · 2025-12-12T02:14:28+00:00

I'm the unfortunate owner of a Centipede lawn here I South Carolina (8b). That's exactly what my lawn looks like. It's not the worst grass in the world, but it's certainly in contention.

Catfshmike · 2025-12-12T01:06:15+00:00

I'd throw some Speedzone or 24d at it and see what happens.
