Hey guys just upgraded from a 20 year old Honda to Hrx , the problem I’m having is I’m not getting a clean cut , after I cut the lawn it looks shorter but doesn’t have the clean flat top look like my older one would give. I have contacted some local lawn mower shops and they recommend removing the top blade and run it as a single blade and increase the Rpm does this sound right? Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Does anyone know what this white seed looking stuff could be? Found this in my yard today, the closest thing that I could find was that it was the seeds of some sort of stubborn weed (poa annua) but I don’t think so. My dog was investigating so I just want to make sure it’s not poisonous .

I need to upgrade my watering system for my backyard lawn.

Dunno if you need the details, but I'm in Australia, and my lawn is Sapphire Buffalo.

Here is (terrible) screenshot of my backyard from google maps. There is also a 50cm wide garden bed surrounding the yard that I forgot to add to the screenshot. I would like a watering system to water the plants I have in the garden bed too.

I currently have impact sprinklers that cover most of the yard/garden bed, but they get hit out of whack by my kids accidentally kitting them with balls. I do fix them, then they get hit again. Its a never-ending battle.

The impact sprinklers were never a permanent solution though and I want to swap them for something better. I am not opposed to underground dripper system or something like that, but it is an already established lawn (almost 4 years since we laid it) so I don't know if that's even possible.

Budget wise, I am not opposed to spending a bit of money to make sure it's a decent system. Obviously, the less I have to spend, the better though.

So yeah. Any help or recommendations will be much appreciated.

What’s some good options to recover this grass? I’m going to keep the dogs off it as long as possible to recover the grass. But I have no idea where to start. Any help please

At what temperatures do perennial ryegrass go dormant. I'm in a Triad area of NC. Our day time temp is around low to mid 60s and night time in the low 40s. Just wondering if it will ever slow down or stop growing around these temps? My grass is about 3 weeks old. PFA

Spotted this today after a week of steady rain. Buffalo/St Augustine. I first thought it might be fertiliser burn but now thinking it's Grey Leaf Spot.

I've recently purchased a house and this is the front-yard. It is a mix of wood chips, leaves, shrub offcuts, roots, and soil. I live in Melbourne, Australia.

I am looking to plant grass (TiffTuff) amongst other plants. I want to set myself up for success.

Keeping it simple, what are the core activities I need to do to prepare this soil - I assume some form of clearing, treating, and re-soiling. Thank you in advance!

As you can probably tell by looking at the pics I’ve got some drainage issues with the current lawn at my rental property this is after a weeks straight of rain, but even after it drys can’t get anything to grow. Any ideas appreciated

I own the Toro 60v Power Head, and own a few attachments for it (trimmer, edger, and pole saw). But I really wish Toro made a power sweeper brush attachment for it (like Ego does).

Does anyone know if any other brands’ attachments will fit on the Toro 60v Power Head?

My husband is going back n forth about mulching these leaves, he's worried about it killing the grass we spent growing this summer. Is that a thing?

Hello I just purchased my first home and the backyard is great but I’m having some trouble with my grass. It looks fine, but the soil is “soggy” and and when you step on it you sink in a little. Does anybody have good solutions for this? It has drainage and good sun

Souther Bermuda Grass area. For past two years, grass in this area has been slowly receding and dying off. Current plan once all leaves are off the tree is to get an arc of mulch around the base of the tree to help, but not really sure about the grass. Soil (sand?) seems fairly compacted and can't really get runners to go into this area.

Got a new home in northern Texas. A variation of Bermunda sod was laid down on my home 3 months ago.

I play on applying fertilizer and putting down grass seeds in the spring time. Is there any preparation for the grass for this? Or is it as simple as throwing down the seed/fertilizer?

Should I also purchase Bermunda grass seeds, and try to get as close as to the variation my grass is?

Is there a guide or advice on the best way to restart my lawn? The prior owners had a ton of trees and bushes that were all dead so I removed them all (about 20 total). I had stumps ground out, and threw some seed down in heavy traffic areas so it wasn’t all mud. The seed took well, but I’m now at the point where I want to plan the final stage of reclaiming my yard - scalping, leveling, adding soil/compost, then reseeding.

I’ve seen a ton of inspiring posts here that give me hope, but I would really like to do it right from the start. I can’t locate a guide that lists all the steps to take, timing between steps, how to determine how much soil is needed, etc. any advice or insight would be great!

I can post pictures of that helps!

I followed the advice of many posts here and I feel like I had very good results this fall. I'm in Northern IL (5b). Here was my process:

1. Mowed short and bagged.
2. Hand raked (this sucked, but worth it)
3. Applied Tenacity.
4. Spread United Seeds Super Turf II
5. Applied compost with compost spreader (my handle broke in 20 minutes, spend the extra money for a quality spreader)
6. Watered 3x per day for 15 minutes for 4 weeks, then once daily for 25 minutes)
7. Applied Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action Built For Seeding

First pic was September 21, second pic was on November 5.

I'm wondering what the next steps are for spring. I need to reseed some of the edges/ corners of the lawn because I feel like the sprinkler didn't get those areas consistently as they should have to ensure successful germination. What fertilizer recommendations should I consider and timeline for application? Apply Tenacity again or use granulated pre-emergent? What other things can I do to keep improving my lawn?
