Paradox: Fertilize to make grass grow, then have to mow like crazy!
But, the pre-emergent stuff in the fertilizer helps keep down the dandelions, makes the grass thicker growing, etc.
Neighbors to the west of us don't do anything to keep the weeds down and the seeds keep blowing into our yard.
One neighbor has Vitagreen only spray his front yard to make it look good, his backyard next to ours is a sea of yellow blooms. Hope all the seedpods blow into his pool!!! Haha
I know, don't get too @nal about dandelions. But we're trying to get our yard back in shape since we'll probably try to sell in a coupla years. And we live in a subdivision where the general consensus is to keep your yard looking good.
At least now I'm more flexible time wise about when I can mow!

This type of sod also requires an enormous amount of water...
No $$$ spent at our place on fertilizer or weed killer. Farm fields full of all sorts of weeds all around us. Big waste of money to try to beat it.

The only kind of fertilizer that goes in my yard is what falls from the sky or an occasional stray dog.
Not really.... Zoysia is heat resistance, And Drought tolerant....This type of sod also requires an enormous amount of water...

Our lawn is green with little effort. Apply fertilizer in early spring and shoot occasional weeds with weed killer. Get compliments all summer.

Must have a boat load of conifer trees, Nothing but moss grows around them...Our woods are reverting back to Conifer...The original members bought the camp from a lumber company around 1900 , Most of the property was clear cut, And back then there wasn't many deer, So the hard wood was able to grow... Since the Fifty's the hard wood is slowly dyeing out and the Conifer is taking over. i.e.; Going back to its natural state..Up in the housekeepers place , moss rules. It's like walking on memory foam.

The neighbor on one side of me studied horticulture. Must have a hundred different kinds of plants and landscape. She befriended the neighbor on the other side of me and she started it, too.
I'm tempted to put a sign in my yard that says "NO, We're NOT the ADDAMS family !"

Rocks, when the weeds sprout up, spray them before they are 1/2 inch tall, easy and no water. Jim

Well the way I do it is easy. One night when they are gone you get the weed be gone out and you help him with his problem and spray his yard for him or round up the thing.But, the pre-emergent stuff in the fertilizer helps keep down the dandelions, makes the grass thicker growing, etc.

I like a well maintained yard for the young grandchildren to pay on. My yard looks like a rose between two thorns who happen to be my neighbors.
