ninjamyst Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 On a completely unrelated topic, I was walking home today and I notice my neighbors' lawns are green. Mine is yellow / dead. WHY????

Winter just passed. How is their lawn already so much better looking than mine.... Thanks! Could be a number of things. Seeded lawns green up sooner than sodded lawns. Properly fertilized lawns green up sooner. My lawn has already been cut 2 times this year while my next door neighbors lawn is still yellow. 6 Quote Link to comment

Any recommendation for fertilizer?I always recommend using a service if you aren't familiar with chemical applications it's usually cheaper in the long run. But if you want to do it yourself you need to start with pre emergent fertilizer. http://www.garden-counselor-lawn-care.com/preemergent.htmlThat sod will take until end of April to green up. It still has a very weak root system but it will slowly get stronger each year. Ha! so the grass IS greener on the other side. Usually if you live next door to me or Ninja 5 Quote Link to comment

Received a bunch if flyers for landscaping and lawn care today.Save yourself the headache and have a nice green weed free lawn for about 35-40 dollars a application 4 times a year. The chemicals alone would cost you 75-100. 1 Quote Link to comment

We haven't had lawn care in years (My dad and I handle it) and the only things that get fertilized are the palm trees 1 Quote Link to comment

Some states may have more nutrients in the soil than others though. Usually lawns that don't get fertilizer tend to get weak and taken over by weeds around here. I'm not familiar with all the types of grass in the south though. 2 Quote Link to comment

It pushes a lot of water but not much in terms of controllability. I guess if you pay for the Apex module, it will be better. 2 Quote Link to comment
