2021 Yard Thread

[Stephen]

Since mine is fresh sod, I don’t have much hope for a completely baller ass lawn this season. Like Craizie mentioned (he saw it first hand) the sod is just laying on clay and needs to be grown in and leveled. It’ll take a couple years I bet. I want a reel mower. I’m a glutton for punishment.

It will likely take better than you think..

I'm jealous of those tiny, manicured lawns. I bet it cost you guys like 10 bucks to get mowed.

I don’t think anyone shows up/stops for less than 25 these days.. he’ll 20-25 was the price of lawn work in the 90’s!

I cut my own... I only pay for fertilizer/weed prevention.

This hard freeze should definitely help with annual weeds this spring

I haven't even picked up any leaves this season. Glad I waited longer. Usually rake/mow in January.

Anybody have bushes turn brown after the freeze? I’ve got a handful that have turned and dropped leaves. I’ve got my fingers crossed they’ll be alright

I put a bunch of zoysia sod down this fall and its handled the weather marvelously. can I just seed over my existing grass(and weeds) and let it take over?

The rainy season will make my yard look good for a month, maybe 2. Then it will go back to looking like the wasteland for 6-8 months. Strange creatures live in the cracks

Yes, including plants that are supposed to withstand the cold. The bad part is most of the local nurseries sustained losses as well, Replacements might be hard to come by,

[bird_dog0347]

Yeah, my front bushes which never lose their leaves got hit pretty hard... hopefully they will be ok.

My holly hedge had all of the leaves turn brown except for the ones in a more protected area. I'm not mad, my wife hates those bushes and wants to replace them anyway.

Everything I planted a few weeks before the cold hit is either dead or stressed. My indian hawthornes are all burned on top. Good healthy green on the bottom, except for one that looked like shit when I planted it compared to the other 3. My decorative "grass" died as well.

every single one of my plants is stressed or dead as well. The ones i brought into my garage and covered them to insulate them didnt look to make it either. I have an semi-insulated garage and it got to 18 degrees on the worst day.

Fingers crossed some of mine come back because my favorite time of year is late march to mid may when everything is blooming beautifully.

Already seen my first mosquito. Time to load up on some granules and see how that works. Treating three yards and part of the alley. Good grief

Cutter backyard spray does a pretty good job of keeping them at bay. I keep 2-3 bottles on hand. I re-spray every 4-6 weeks as necessary
