Never gonna let you down.
This is why I won’t hire anyone to do anything. So many corner cutters out there.

Anyways is now a good time to start seeding for next spring? When?

Labor day weekend is perfect. Use a dethatcher to prepare the ground.
How bad is your lawn, mine is terrible this year. Partially due to my neglect, weather and a crazy crab grass strain.
I seem to have that too in the back yard...

That's what's been keeping my yard greener than the neighbors.

What are you guys doing with your grass clippings? Last time I went dropping several bags of dead branches, leaves and grass clippings I was informed that I will be fined if I try to dispose of grass clippings so I had to bring them back home where are still sitting right now.

Exactly, forsythia marks step 1. We're still a few weeks away being at a slightly higher elevation. Putting down too early is pretty much flushing it away with a big rain.

it looks to be a warm and rainy week. Why shouldn't I seed and put hay down this weekend?
patio contractor did a piss poor job about fixing the grass and divots. You could literally break and ankle.

Been raking and blowing this week. With the new job and baby, I missed the leaf cleanup and overseeding too.
this weekend will be more raking/thatching and spreading soil to level out some areas (It’s free so why not?)
Was reading that if seed is put down in spring it needs more TLC and watering vs overseeding in fall. Either way I need to do both.

Truth, new grass will die easily if not watered regularly in the summer. If you have large areas, consider sod.

Tomorrow a perfect day to fill and tamp down those ruts. I'm going to regrade a front section which has a depression from a clogged gutter last year. Just had them cleaned and rescreened.

on 3/22 I raked, thatched, tine rolled the front and back, then raked again. dropped seed and starter fert. I saw no new growth this past weekend with all the rain and cooler temps, the ground must of been too cold. I checked yesterday and I've got new grass everywhere, crazy what a really nice two days can do. In two weeks, I'll drop some scotts with Haltz & every 4 weeks from there.
