After 1 year of TrueGreen and right after mowing today... Very little in the way of weeds, barely any in my whole yard and nice lush bermuda.

Edit: I need to trim the bushes.

Looks great man. You might benefit from sanding your yard to prevent those low cut scalps. It would make it look perfect.

Well, my lawn guy is in the hospital, so it is time to take things into my own hands! Finally getting the crab grass under control. Another application or two of killer and it should be gone.
Mowed the front tonight, still needs wdged and weedeated, but it is coming along nicely.

Be nice to your garbage man and don't put stuff within 4ft of the can. You'll make his day.

Is there a reason? Just curious

My yard is incredibly uneven, and sorely needs help... That said it really tall and 1 spot under max height of my mower. The pics today were after mowing 6 days after the last one, and it grows FAST with all the fertilizer and rain.

Top dress it with some sand and you'll be good to go! If it is tall, top dress with sand and keep it watered, and it will be back to solid green in no time.

It helps to make something to drag it to level off the sand.

He has to use a claw to pick your trash can up and that box will be in the way. I'm assuming that's what he means.

Kind of what I was thinking as well, however, no claws out here!

Greenville doesn't have monies for claws.


Neither does Forney apparently.

The past 2 years right as it starts to warm up in spring, I drop the mower to the lowest setting and scalp the yard. It is a lot of work afterwards because you have to pick it all up if you don't have a bag but it is so much easier to keep up with the growth when it starts to get hot. When fall comes around I end up on the 3rd notch of my mower out of the 5 notches.

It is never to late to scalp the yard and drop the sand as mentioned above to make it easier to level out.

the picture makes it look like I've scalped certain areas, but in reality I didn't at all... There are just a few spots that aren't quite as lush or as full in the back yard and that makes it look worse on a camera than it is in person. Also, I had truegreen spray for some crab grass that I had in the front yard a month or so ago and when they did it sort of burned the bermuda a bit, so the color was not quite as green as the rest again making the pics look like there was some scalping.

I also cut mine really low in the spring and bagged it all, but leveling it out isn't on the list to do until after I get my patio built how I want it. It's way too small right now, so I need to get some quotes to expand it and I'm hoping for under $2k.

I hit the crab grass in my front yard before we went to the hospital on Sunday. I had forgotten about it by the time we got home yesterday and was shocked to see the leopard spots in my yard from the chemical!

What did you use for the crabgrass?

I am really shocked how well that bottle of Image worked from Lowes.

Finally started watering yesterday.. Can't believe I was able to wait so long this year. All of that rain was great!
