Show off your Lawn! (1 Viewer)

[Copper44]

Didn’t see any type of thread for this, maybe chippers aren’t crazy about lawns like me lol. With Covid-19 I have had a lot more time looking at my lawn this year. Have been able to get certain spots looking good, got a ways to go though!

So let’s see those lawns!

 

[MegaTon44]

Your lawn looks amazing. Mine has to contend heavily with dog and deer shit. Working on it though. First year we started with treatments to make it look better. Baby steps...

Went outside to take some pics, realized the lawn still looks pretty patchy...opted to come back inside and sit down...lol

I put fertilizer with iron on mine today. I’ll post something in a week.

Caring about my lawn was a personal milestone where I realized I’m getting older.

Also today I wanted to go to Lowe’s and buy a rain gauge.

 

[SiouxperStack]

Nice. I like this thread idea. Any crabgrass tips?

 

[cgpilot]

Yes. I’ve had good luck with Image. It’s slow working (3 weeks) and may take more than one application with crab grass.

Also won’t kill your grass. Read the label though and make sure your grass is listed as safe.

We are forecasted for 4.5 inches of rain by Monday night here, not good..

Putting a pre-emergent down when your soil hit 50-55 will help from getting it at all as well.

Club 711 could use a mow, but it’s green and I don’t see any beer cans?

The last time I had lawn areas like that, in south Jersey, I threw in the towel and covered the "lawn"area with six inch deep stones.

Now that we're retired in Florida, our neighborhood is supposedly "maintenance free". All zoysia grass, and it's not my problem. As far as I'm concerned, my lawn is blue:

 

[HeWhoWouldPun]

Here's a picture to make everyone feel better about the state of their lawns. My front "lawn" is really just a strip of grass between driveways. This is the back of the house. North facing and heavy tree cover = no sun for growing grass. My neighbor keeps trying though (his is the patch of green behind the rock line).

What you can't appreciate is the 4 feet drop down a few feet from the deck 4x4s. I'm not sure where exactly the property line is but the rest of what is visible is designated game land as well as a flood plane with a creek running through it. Very happy to be in the middle of a city and have green space that won't be developed.

[horseshoez]

Looking at all these beautiful massive lawns make me wanna GTFOH California.

Yeah i have a C-27 Trucut, same one they use on the putting greens here in hawaii, my backyard overlooks a hole 3 , which is a par 3, ill find a photo soon. We are only allowed to use Zoysia grass due to being next to the course. I currently have El Toro Zoysia

Witchcraft.

 

[horseshoez]

Tru-Cut the only way to go to get that awesome groomed look. Nicely done.

Here’s my beauty of a lawn lol. It’s barely spring here, but my “lawn” also has gotten worse every year in the 4 I’ve lived here lol. We have also had near drought conditions in that time.

Im guessing the really cold weather there practically “burns” it even when healthy correct?

 

[davin]

i alternate fertilizer, i found that BEST 24-4-9 is the my go to fertilizer, but i alternate it so the lawn stays fed. its like humans we don't want to eat the same thing every day.

Nutsedge can be a major pain, usually will take 2-3 sprayings. Use a surfactant in your mix, you can find this at Tractor Supply or use a bit of baby shampoo.

One can grow nice lawns here, by the end of June it could look pretty good with enough water, but I'm too cheap to water it much. Our soil is also quite sandy, and it was never landscaped correctly prior to us buying.

I'll try to remember to post more pictures further into the summer, though if the trend holds we won't be getting much for rain and it will look only a little better.

thats a lot what you need that much for ?

 

[davin]

This stuff is awesome, it’s expensive but worth it. I can go 3 mo before I need another application. The cheap stuff like ScottsTurf last for only a month. This stuff has slow release capsules
