I find it impossible to control weeds. My lawn was sodded as St. Augustine, but all of the neighbors have out-of-control weeds, and no matter how many I go out and pull, the lawn is eventually 50% weeds over the course of a year or two. HOA is telling me to re-sod again, but this isnt going to be financially viable with this cadence, I've re-sodded twice already. Are there products out there specific to South Florida lawns that can get this under control, or should I accept my lawn being 100% weeds, and mow my weeds every week or two instead of mowing grass?

This weed has taken over my side yard this fall and is starting to pop up in my front yard at an alarming rate.

I am in zone 7b with TTTF.

Please help!

We had some building for three weeks and they destroyed our lawn. It's very muddy. Is there anything I can do to save it? If I just leave, will it come back? I'm in the UK so it's cold now. Any advice appreciated.

This might sound like a stupid question but I live in an apartment and have never had to mow a lawn before. I'm wanting to upsize to a 3-4 bedroom place (which is extremely uncommon in an apartment hence moving into a house) but it seems like most rental houses have lawn care as the tenant's responsibility which is making me nervous.

I'm a 4'11" 90 lbs female but I also have some physical disabilities in my arms that make it so that I cannot lift more than 20 lbs using both of my arms. Unsure if lifting ability would affect me being able to care for a lawn adequately.

I’ve recently seen these red and yellow blades of grass all over my lawn and a lot of the red also on my green emerald blanket plants does anybody have any ideas? What this may be? I live in Florida and have Saint Augustine grass that gets watered three times a week.

I had a tree removed in December. I got this blank space and we need to have grass grow in this area or it will just erode. Should go with laying sod? Or is there a better option? I appreciate any feedback.

Anyone ever follow the Menards program and used their fertilizer? I’m going to try and keep my yards looking better this year. I’ve improved it over the last couple years but going to try and do better this year. I’m in Kentucky

I am about 5 years into taking care of my own lawn, which includes my fertilizing, pesticide applications, and soil management. I have not experimented with any adjuvants when applying my pesticides. Curious what y'all's experience and opinions are of the effectiveness of these products.

Hey guys. I am having the city run a gas line from the street to our kitchen as part of a renovation. The city said they will need to dig two 3ftx4ft holes to accommodate the running of the new gas line. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions on how to mitigate the damage they are going to cause? I was hoping to be able to gently dig the grass up myself in one big piece and place it back down when they are finished but I’m not sure I will know their exact locations before they get here. Also since it’s winter and the grass is dormant (Maryland) will that help or hurt the grasses survival? If it were actively growing I could nurse it back to health but maybe since it’s dormant it won’t die and will spruce back up in the spring?

Any thoughts would be appreciated

My dog runs fast, skids to a stop, and loves to dig at anything strange. Shortly after moving in, I started to notice tufts of black fluff in the yard. Turns out the dog discovered the weed fabric under the gravel and started pulling at it. He also dug a few small holes in the grass and pulled at the weed fabric there. I can see there is only about two inches of topsoil over the barrier, which makes the grass extremely delicate. It slides right off when the dog runs around.

I don’t really want rip out the lawn and start over. That sounds messy and complicated and the dog would go nuts without a yard to run in. Is there any way I can perforate the barrier the way I would aerate compacted ground? If I perforate different spots all over twice a year and gradually add topsoil for the sprinkler to wash down, would it allow the grass to root deeper over time? If yes, would a professional aerator do the job? I’m not sure how deep the plugs go, but this barrier is ridiculously shallow. I can’t believe anyone ever agreed this was a good idea. It’s such a cheap excuse for landscaping.

Rant over. Advice welcome. Thanks!

I have about 190 applications for one item (Simazin) and similar outrageous amounts of glysophate

Any suggestions other than bottling and giving away or selling on FB or eBay? I don't sell things and don't want to bother. I'd rather I take a quart and give the rest. But who to contact? Random farmers? Lol. A Co-Op? One is not even open, but I'd like some of it to stay with me. Thanks.

Hi yall,

We've had unseasonably warm temps here so we've been cleaning up yard debris and overgrowth to get a head start on spring yard stuff. I constantly have to clean this curb after a heavy rain and we have neighbors who contribute to the headache as they park there and allow the leaves and debris to build up.

Is there a solution to make this less unsightly and less of a headache? That's a storm drain underneath all the leaves.

Just had new lawn laid on Wednesday and here’s the watering schedule. It’s currently averaging around 34 degrees (95f) for the next week.

Problem is, I’m going away to work for a couple weeks so I have two options;

1. Set the watering schedule down to two times a day 4 - 5 days early

2. Leave it at 3 times per day until I return from work so it’ll be a total of approx. 20 days at 3x per day.

I’m new to this so I’m not sure which option is best for the healthy growth of my new lawn. Don’t want to stunt its growth but also don’t want to drown it.

I don’t care if it’s a weed or what. As long as it grows quickly and can tolerate my dogs running on it. Our part sun yard was filled with Bermuda grass that died during the frost. Whatever roots were left of it were destroyed by the dogs running, and I’m tired of having a yard that’s essentially just dirt. Any recommendations?

Hello, and thanks in advance for your help. I’m trying to identify this type of hedge in my backyard so that I can get more of them. They provide very nice privacy growing up to 15 feet tall or so.

Lawn is both st Augustine and Bermuda I think. Currently watering every other day for 20 minutes.

Primarily crabgrass, doveweed, and pusley

So we just bought our home a couple weeks ago and moved in but the yards starting to look like a rain forest so I need to mow. Not a huge lot. Regular older subdivision lot. My father gave me an older gas mower but it of course needs the carb cleaned etc. I don't really wanna do all that every time I mow so has anybody had an experience with the electrical mowers? I was looking at a hart pushie from Walmart and the price is pretty good.

I'll take any recommendations! Thanks!

My neighbor has a TON of Torpedograss. I had some of it pop up along the edge of my lawn last growing season, but I did a pretty good job of keeping it under control by using Quinclorac.

With that being said, would doing a spring scalp cause the torpedograss to take over the lawn? I first heard this idea on a video by Lawn Care Nut, but I want to get y’all’s opinion

Hi folks,

Zone: 7b - Transition zone

Grass: TTTF (feat. patchy areas and some moss)

I have heard recommendations regarding pre-emergent application that state to do it in split applications. Half application when soils temps reach 50-55F and another half when soil temps reach 65-70F. I would like to follow this approach.

I will be using Lesco Stonewall, and the label states that for 6months protection to use 118lbs/acre (2.7lbs/1000sqft). So I figured i would apply half of that rate (1.35lbs/1ksqft) on March 1st and then the other half on July 1st so that I can get protection right up to September, when I plan to overseed. However, based on soil temp maps website, those soils temps for my area will be on March 1st and April 15, so about 1.5 months apart.

My question is, do I need to adjust the initial application ratio to give me only 1.5 months protection and then apply the rest to get coverage to September? Any suggestions? Am I overthinking this?

Thank you in advance!
