Re: my lawn has seen better days..

Yeah my lawn is green with weeds. It looks horrible and my landscaper is getting fired at the end of this season.

I asked him what is the deal with all these weeds and he said he "can't control them due to the heat".

Then how come all my neighbors have weed-free lawns? Was the temperature 15 degrees cooler across the street?

Some landscapers don't use a lot of chemicals which is a good thing

With this heat its hard to keep crab grass away

Re: my lawn has seen better days..

who knew this was how to control weeds for us. We haven't been watering much and our entire side yard used to be clover - they are al gone now!


the grass is barely green, not lush, but I love that the weeds have gone too!

My front lawn with direct sun is covered in crab grass!Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Our backyard has patches of yellow and areas of lush green - the green is by the trees and shaded area.

We have the crab grass killer and I can't wait to get it on the lawn.

Re: my lawn has seen better days..

My dh has been really good with our lawn this year and it still has tons of weeds and burnt in spots.
I ran the water for almost 5 hours yesterday so that helped a little.

It's not a good thing if I am paying for it. If I am paying for it and it still looks this bad... why bother doing any chemicals at all?

I must have the worst lawn on the block... literally. All my neighbors have landscapers and their lawns look great.

I cannot even tell you what we spent on the gardener and chemicals this year.....for lovely crabgrass. It seems like it's just coming back from the dead now and I'm sure my water bill will reflect that Chat Icon

Re: my lawn has seen better days..

I like to say that we have hay this year. We decided to just give up and start over next year. Oh well! At least my flower beds look pretty.
