I actually pay someone to do my emergent/fert...and so on. When I bought my house 4 years ago it was in baaaaad shape. I mow and all that myself, but he does all other stuff. Once it is where it needs to be, probably after this growing season, I will take over the whole thing myself

I always forget to do the pre-emergent thing but I always put down weed and feed around spring break.

I enjoy spending time in my yard, it's about the only time I have to be by myself. People cant bother you when you are on the mower in the middle of an acre just mowing it down. I concur.

I've always done my own yard. I'm thinking about calling a company to do all the fertilizing and weed control this year (got a thing from TruGreen the other day). My front yard is gorgeous, no weeds, great grass. The back yard is huge and i just don't have the time to deal with it this spring.

Don't fertilize or put anything on a new sod lawn until the roots have taken a decent hold!

Quinclorac 75 DF, got this stuff from the golf course. If you have bermuda, or zoisa this stuff is the sh!t, it will kill st. augustine and any broadleaf grasses, don't use in gardens.

We use ProScape granular fertilizer with Dimension /Lockup or Dimension/Trimec. Have tried to avoid getting into the Lawn Care business. Provides pretty good control of Crabgrass if applied early

I have also used GrazonNext in my yard to empty out the Tank Problem is when sharing system takes a couple of hours to clean spray rig. To go back to Pest spraying to avoid wiping out the next clients landscape.

The Scotts Bonus S with Atrazine still works well on St Aug. Also easy to get at Lowe’s or Depot. Atrazine is still a very good Preemerge and has some Post-emerge use. Just be careful and stay outside the drip-line of Trees and Shrubs
