mine keep coming back no matter how many i pull out curious if spot sprays, weed pullers, or just improving lawn thickness works best long term. would love to hear what actually worked for you guys.

Anyone knows these bugs allover my lawn

Was mowing today and noticed these bugs all over one patch of my Bermuda. Never seen them before. They're just... there. All over each other.

Did a soap flush and nothing came up, so maybe not grubs? Anyone know what I'm dealing with?

How often should I fertilize my lawn?

I’m new to lawn care and trying to figure out how often I should fertilize without overdoing it. How many times a year do you usually fertilize your lawn, and does it depend on the grass type or season? Any beginner tips are appreciated.

Seriously Why isn't Dallas Lawn Guy more popular?

Why isn't anyone talking about Dallas Lawn Guy? Dude knows Bermuda grass, handles Texas heat like a pro and keeps it real, no fluff, no constant sales pitches. Best warm-season advice on YouTube right now. Am I the only one watching him?

hey everyone! im finally trying to get my grass looking like something other than a patch of weeds this year, but i'm honestly a bit lost on the schedule. how many times are you guys actually hitting your lawn with fertilizer? i've heard everything from "once in the spring" to "every six weeks," and i'm terrified of overdoing it and burning the whole thing to a crisp.

Been thinking about renting a core aerator for my lawn but not sure if it's really worth the effort. My soil feels kinda compacted and grass isn't a thick as I want. For those who've used one, did you actually see a big difference? And is it better to diy or just hire someone? Any tips before I commit. Thanks

looking for recommendations that actually work well and give even coverage. my lawns starting to need more consistent watering and there are way too many sprinkler options out there.

ive seen people recommend oscillating, impact, and traveling sprinklers, but im not sure which is actually worth it long term. what are you all using?

My zoysia is looking a little thin and patchy lately, so I’m trying to figure out what fertilizer actually works best without overdoing it. What do you guys use for healthy green growth? Any brands or schedules you recommend?

Where we started with the backyard after buying the house in December in Georgia.

All compacted clay soil yard. Garbage (pic 1) aerated it big time. Then added gypsum and fertilizer.

Added 20 yards of Topsoil with the help of 2 high school kids) (pic 2) and then added more fertilizer. Slice seeded with a turf type Fescue mix.

4 weeks later we have a 95% filled in grass back yard.

Have a couple spot treatments that I tended to and seeing growth.

I’ve been getting more into lawn care lately and wanted to try something different this season. Curious what patterns people actually like doing or what tends to look best from the street. Checkerboards, diamonds, waves, anything like that.

Would love to see what everyone’s tried and if certain grass types hold patterns better than others.

So I have quite a few patches of burweed around the side of the house as you walk out of the house and my dog HATES going out that way because of the stickers. Do you think laying mulch down over it would help? I’ve managed to kill a patch with ACV but the stickers didn’t die… just the weed itself. Help!!!

Does anyone use this same combo? I think Flexzilla uses plastic fittings, or should i just do everything Eley? Just got my first house and trying to get opinions. Also listening to other recommendations. Thanks!

I've been struggling to make this new project work. I tried the generic broadcast spreading but it doesn't give me the results I want. There are so much inconsistencies. Anyone knows why? or can you recommend a different approach?
