  1. Hey Mike, thanks for the advice. For this killex, do you spot spray or your spraying the whole entire lawn?

     

    Can anyone recommend a good company to aerate for next year, and how much does this cost normally? when do you guys normally aerate? and I assume that I can topdress right after aerating?

     

    also for seeds that you guys mix in with top dress, what kind do you use? I was looking at the scotts turf builder (expensive but I hear nothing but great review of this product)

     

    how many often do you guys reseed? I heard that I would need to do this a couple times during the summer to get a nice thick lawn.

     

    as for fertilizing. is there a particular mixture and brand that works better (is stronger) than others?

     

    Ricinus: I was planning to take a core this week and what I got for materials below the grass. i think ripping everything up and starting new is out of the question and the budget. I thought top dressing adds thickness to the topsoil?

     

    thank you guys all th ehelp,

     

    next year we should have a FFC lawn off. everyone post pics and see whos got the best lawn.

  2. Hi guys

     

    With this bow closure it's given me some time to think about/plan to get my lawn up to par. I want it to be the nicest lawn in the neighbourhood!

     

    I just moved into 20 year old home a month ago and now that the interior renos are coming to a close the lawn needs a lot of work. The previous owner was old so didn't really take care of it. It gets sun all day so it has the potential to really look nice.

     

    I understand that getting a lawn thicker, greener and without weeds will be a couple year long project.

     

    Any advice on a schedule for fertilizing/aeration/topping/overseeding?

     

    What should I use for weed control? There is a tonne of them. I saw some at cad tire but seems like it's spot treatment. If I went that route it would take me two days to finish my front yard. There has gotta be an easier way.

     

    What kinda fertilizer should I use? I heard that more nitrogen will get my grass that deep green?

     

    Also in my back yard I'm getting sprouts from the neighbours tree. I don't know if it's from the roots sprouting or from seed but it's terrible. Is there any way to prevent this?

     

    I'm sure there must be someone who's a pro at tending to their lawn. This is the first time I even thought of doing anything more than mowing and edging it so any help would be appreciated.

     

    Thanks guys
