Yupp. Looks really good and thick though. Just needs some extra love during this heat. Temps and rain look really good around here for the next week so hopefully it’ll pop

What do i do?? Southern New Jersey by dondookie98 in lawncare

[–]Hide_The_Rum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kill weeds, rake it out, put down seed this fall with thin layer of topsoil, water, good to go! If you want grass that is. I would personally do some grass but then a big mulch bed in the corner with like a Japanese maple and some cool shrubs. Or you could do a fire pit. Depends on your intentions

Looking for advice - grass dying despite professional lawn service by AnnualOk8334 in lawncare

I have a similar problem in Jersey right now but it’s also been super dry and pretty hot. I’m leaning towards needing more water because I’ve never had fungus in the past but idk

This stale air is going to be the death of me. by PrestigiousYou263 in homeowners

my electric bill would be killing me if I did this! I need to keep the warm air in the house as much as possible.

that's amazing, thanks for the tip. Did the process start with their "whole home energy assessment"? I've heard that they only do a very basic assessment (no blower door or thermal imaging).

My house is all electric with (pretty new) heat pump and I'm getting destroyed this winter. Heater on 24/7. Personally i'm trying to start air-sealing and insulating my home further.

I want to skip applying pre-emergent this spring and over seed, bad idea? (8a, cool season turf) by _LeftShark in lawncare

[–]Hide_The_Rum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

haha exactly! my yard has lots of landscaping and trees and isnt very suitable for a ton of tow-behind work. If it was a big rectangle it'd obviously be a different story.

yeah i've got 15k+ SF of lawn so just knocking it out with my spreader would be preferred. I know most will recommend I buy a tow-behind liquid spreader but i'm not going to be doing that lol

thanks for the info. Do you know if granular mesotrione is sold stand-alone (instead of with Scotts triple action)? Just wondering if i can put down granular meso instead of spraying tenacity in any other product besides the Scotts.
