:( Help, we have been trying to have a nice lawn, but it just keeps dying year after year. Last year we raked it and layed lime down, it came in great, but this year it's dead and sooo many bare ugly spots. Over the winter we did take a… More
When I moved here the lawn was over run with weeds. With a couple of applications of weed and feed, it looks much better, but now I've discovered that it has about 5 types of grass. There are large patches of each type, with one type (thin needle blades) poking… More

I have a real mess in my back yard (zone 7). Poor soil, large old grown trees that surround the property, and a beautiful garden surrounding an area that should be grass but is instead a combination of sick looking grass, weeds and mud. I'm seriously considering covering the whole… More
All my snow has not gone yet but, as a patch of grass dries, I rake up the dog doos and grass, odd leaf etc. I was just outside raking up a 4 X 10 ft section and when picking it, up to put it in the biodegradeable brown paper… More
My backyard is very clumpy- getting more so since I bought the house 5 years ago (I have dogs that tend to 'scratch'). I am considering how to even it out - can I just rake soil (or compost that I get from the nearby water treatment plant) over the… More
I have a dark green grass outline of a circle on my lawn. The rest of the lawn is not as dark. There are no pipes under the lawn, so I do not know what this is. Can anyone help me to figure this out?:confused: More
Don't know the real name, but around here we call it cheat grass, and I have patches of it appearing in my lawn area. (Not that my lawn is great anyway!) But we are trying to make it nice. How do I get rid of cheat grass? Help anybody? More
Despite my best efforts, most of the lawn died in the heat wave. We'll have to reseed the front, but I'm thinking of an alternative to grass in the back. What is a clover lawn like? Is it practical for an entire backyard (a small one)? Does it look awful… More
Just for clarification, Lime shouldn't be added to your lawn unless a soil test indicates the need for raising your soil's Ph. If your professional lawn service is applying lime randomly without testing the soil first, I would find another service. More
I had my lawn hydroseeded in early April (eastern Washington). The "professional" who did the work did not instruct me properly on watering and after hydroseeding it twice and hand seeding it once, I finally have grass, but not what I thought I would have. He handseeded with what I… More
Our grass turned completely brown as soon as the temps reached 100, despite following all the recommended lawn care. I know what the problem is--compacted soil. I want to avoid throwing water on it every summer just to lose it by July, so I think I have two choices in… More
Hi, I live in IL zone 5. My lawn is basically made of Kentucky bluegrass and fescue here in the Midwest. I've noticed that it is producing these blades of grass which appear to have these little seeds growing off of them. Will these seeds eventually fall off and "Naturally… More
So, yeah, I've got a LOT of moss out in the back yard. And it's taking it's toll on my grass. I bought the moss-out stuff finally, and the directions say to remove (by hand) as much moss as you can with a thatcher. Hmm, okay... So I'm doing that… More
We moved to this house a little over 2 years ago and the yard was in horrible shape.... 98% weeds, only 2 badly neglected flowerbeds and almost no grass at all! Starting with our very first summer here in '04, we've been working hard at getting rid of the weeds… More
Hi, I'm a newbie here. I'm not much into lawn care and I don't really know all the "do's and don'ts". Here is my deal. We built a new home in 2000 and I have replanted the lawn 3 times. The last time was last fall. I planted fescue which… More
I need to know if there is a good type of grass that will hold up to high traffic. My dog has walked a path strait to dirt, Which has made the back lawn look horrable. I wasnt sure if a thick form or another type would be best. Thanks… More
