Grass seed buying dilemma? Was browsing the shelf- when purchasing grass seed - don't buy a package that does not indicate what types of grass seed it contains. For home lawns. buy only seed that contains these three: Kentucky bluegrass, perennial rye. Fescue. Some packages contain less than 10% seed by weight. The additives are there to increase spreadability, provide nutrients, enhance germination and profits. But we recommend buying name brand name quality seed. The extra cost is worth it.

Lawn violets - hard to control with Fiesta iron products- some edge browning of leaves shown here about one week after treatment. Slows growth down but not likely enough to kill of the plant entirely

Maple seedlings

People often worry about seedlings from maples and other trees growing in the lawn. And right now they are popping up like acne on a teenager. Basically. These seedlings won't last in the lawn. Since they are trying to become trees, they need to grow up and tall. Once you start mowing them regularly, they will disappear. One reason dandelions persist in our lawns is because they don't mind the mowing.

Beware of garbage bag drought, a garbage bag left on the corner of the lawn can cause damage to the lawn especially on a warm sunny day

Help! I'm dying of thirst- this sod has been sitting out in the warm sun without enough water. It doesn't look like it got any. If it doesn't get some soon, it will be difficult to revive. Will someone come back to re-repair it again?
