Gugny Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 $50 for a bag of Scotts, then I take a 10 minute walk around my yard. I'll never get why people pay others to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountDorkula Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Do you do it yourself? Or have a service do it? I have a service do mine. I tried to do it myself it was way more work than i thought it would be. Although here it is a 12 month service. If you are very serious about it and going to do it yourself, get a soil test to see what levels you are at so you can get the right fertilizer.

dpberr Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) I do my own. I have 1.5 acres. It's mostly trees that wreck havoc on lawns. I'd say maybe we have 25,000 square feet of total lawn. My neighbor hires a service to do his similarly sized yard. They come out at least twice a year with various chemicals. His yard is superior to mine. Not a single dandelion or blade of crabgrass, dark green and full. (We have so many owls and hawks that voles are a nearly non-existent species.) I think it comes down to what you're looking to get out of it. Modest improvement, do it yourself, see what happens. You want the A+ HGTV lawn, probably a service.

PromoTheRobot Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) You know what is one of the best lawn fertilizers? Dog urine, but only when diluted. So if you have a dog, follow it around with a collection pan. Edited April 21, 2016 by PromoTheRobot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Quint Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 You know what is one of the best lawn fertilizers? Dog urine, but only when diluted. So if you have a dog, follow it around with a collection pan. I typically jar my own and put it in the sprayer. About 1000 different uses, if you really think about it.

Alaska Darin Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I pay to get mine done but I have a large lawn. I can't buy the lawn and tree fertilizer/pest control/etc for what the service charges me to buy it, bring it to my house, and apply it. Saves me tons of time and effort. Lawn is like a golf fairway and trees/shrubs/associated landscape plants are thriving. My neighbor's wife is all over him about using the same service because of how obvious the difference is. When I had a smaller lawn and way less landscaping I did it myself. Everything looked great because it's something I like to do but it required a lot of effort. My service can do everything in about a tenth the time it takes me because they have commercial gear and a team of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flutie Flakes Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I have a service do it and can PM the company as they are local for us. I have tried Scott's and their 4 step program and for close to the same price, have had much better results from a lawn service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
