Anyone on here unlucky enough to have dealt with a Norway Maple before? Moved into a home with a full grown Norway Maple (helicopter seed pods) and I’m having a heck of a time killing the sprouts.

I have a mature one in my tree line and every year I have to cut dozens of saplings. I bitch every time I have to cut and Tordon them. Bastards always seem to grow in my cedar wind break.
This year has been fucking awful. They were all over earlier this spring and I tried to get most of them. But still dealing with the sprouts. It’s been brutal this year

We have a landscaper but he doesn’t pick weeds. I somehow enjoy it. I can’t get rid of our nut grass. Stuff is impossible to permanently kill. It regrows instantly. Anyone have any tips?

Thanks. At this point, I don’t mind reseeding if I can get rid of this stuff!

My yard is absolute shit, soil is HARD, built the house 3 years ago in August, I aerate it and overseed in the fall, water frequently, still sucks.
Wondering if I need to start adding topsoil and aerate more often to get it going? Doesn't help i have an 11 year old that lives in the backyard with sports.

There's also liquid aerator - I haven't used it a bunch, but seemed to help a little bit when I did. It's basically dish soap, so have heard you can spray some diluted regular dish soap over the affected areas periodically to help it out. Might be worth adding some of that to some of your waterings.

Add organic material to your lawn; especially at the time of aeration.

I grabbed some stuff from Grass Pad a few weeks back. Like a ground up solid mixture type consistency, little pellets basically. Just dump them over the nut grass spots. I have a few spots that I need to dump some on, but it's actually killed most of it surprisingly.

Not a yard, but the front patio courtyard....Flowers blooming in AZ.
Dog not happy to stop and pose with them.

you could maybe aerate in both the spring and fall and see if that helps. i used to have to aerate twice a year cuz it was so hard. one year i used a soil softener too
topsoil definitely would help but would just make sure its all level otherwise itll get bumpy (which im sure you already know but just pointing it out)

It's already bumpy as shit. Not sure it could be worse 😂

Spray round up on hand (with glove) put it on the nut grass. Definitely dont want to pull.
@David Webb probably has a better solution though. I think he had a suggestion somewhere itt already.
