Yard Care

Fertilizer question. So I used Scott's 4 step system from Ace this year, instead of going with my original Grass Pad plan. Ace had a deal that was cheaper than Grass Pad, so I jumped. Maybe it's the sprinkler install in June, and my issue with the vole right now, but boy the yard as a whole just doesn't look as good as last year. But it could just be my brain thinking it's the fertilizer instead of the mole and new sprinklers.


Anyone know if Grass Pad stuff is better than regular Scott's or if I'm being paranoid?

You might consider throwing down some Milorganite (or Menard's generic version of it). It will help it to green up and thicken up quick.
 
Noticed some webbing that I'm pretty sure is dollar spot in the back yard. I've already got some Thiomyl fungicide, guess it's time for a spray.

I like Grass Pad but I can't imagine the fertilizer is that significant of a difference.
I was told a year ago that the main difference is grass pads stuff is “private” and that they’re very proud of it, so it costs more

Right. That might be the summer step 3 that I was planning to put down at the end of the month, but might need to do it now
 
Fuck that. We went with a local family owned company and we will see if they take the dirt piles away with them, but overall they did a real good job and only hit sprinkler lines where heads weren't flagged because the idiot instal company put them 2.5 feet past our property line
Similar to my fence, my neighbor is pretty anal about the property line, rightfully so. Not only did the guy hit the gas line, he put one of the corner posts about 6” into my neighbor’s property line. I got home for lunch when I got the gas line call and she was outside and waved at me to come talk to her immediately and made a scene about it. I just told the install guy “fuck it dude, I know you dug the hole already but fill it in and auger another one I gotta go deal with the gas line”. It was a very chaotic 90 minute lunch hour. Had to walk the dogs down the block, my buddy was mowing the other neighbors yard for his lawn business, got back to work just dripping in sweat

We bought last summer so I've got like 2 more in me of pretending I can DIY it before I go that route.
Don't kid yourself, a man's entire life is a constant cycle between "I'm sick of weeds, I'm gonna pay someone to take care of them for me," and "I've seen what the services do, I can put down a few applications myself for less money."

My life is "I wish I lived in a geography where I can do the natural landscape look" and "man fuck those prices"
