Too Late to Scalp Bermuda?
Comments (27)As long as you are happy with the service you are getting and not physically able to do the work yourself. Stick with them. I can do most of the work, but it will take somewhat of a toll over time. Not that I can't, but let me tell you why I opted for Trugreen in the first place. I have a neighbor down the street with a fabulous lush Bermuda lawn. I went down and asked him (we'd never met before) how he did it. He is older than me, and said he's only used Trugreen for years and a mowing service. I was surprised. That's why I opted for Trugreen with my new lawn. I can't say at this point if I'm happy or not as only pre-emergents have been used to this point, but they seem to be mostly effective. In the mean time is there a kid or someone in the neighbor hood that might be able to spread some 20-5-10 now? Even thinking down the road can the same person do subsequent applications for you this year? I don't anticipate great issues with the applications of fertilizer if I do it, but if I have to also do the annual pre and post emergents, season after season, it will take it's toll. That was my primary reason for asking how Trugreen compared to your recommendations. So, would there be major issues if I did the fertilizer myself, and let trugreen do the pre and post emergents? I am temporarily mowing the lawn myself now, but I plan on hiring the same company that my neighbor I spoke of uses, once the lawn is fully established. I will also ask them if they are willing to do the lawn applications as needed. If they can, I can cancel Trugreen. Once again, I can't thank you enough for your assistance....See MoreLawn Tractor Is Scalping My Lawn
Comments (5)This is a common problem for mid-mount mowers. They normally ride suspended from the belly of your tractor. If your tractor wheels dip down, then so will the mower. It has anti-scalp wheels to stop this, although you don't want them to be normally riding on the ground. My lawn has one spot with a sharp rise. At the very crest, I would always scalp it, even with the anti-scalp wheels set reasonably. The simplest solution, if you cannot solve it by dropping the anti-scalp wheels, is to fill in the deepest holes. John...See MoreScalp-a-thon 2017 COMPLETE
Comments (15)Howdy Phil, I do remember your project. The choice to scalp really depends on your preferences--If you don't mind some Brown stems in your Bermuda or plan to keep a high cut, probably don't bother. It's not a small job, even with a small lawn, but last year's lawn will not go away on its own. Luckily you have another month or so before your scalping window will close so there's no rush to decide. With celebration that window may be even longer, I can't believe how early it's greening up compared to the 419. Randy, I believe in spot spraying about monthly thru the whole growing season, so go for it. I agree with turf life on the 3-way herbicide for these apps, but not for blanket apps--The 2,4D will weaken the bermuda a bit. For nutsedge & crabgrass I use sulfentrazone exclusively. The product I like is called sedge ender & has a preM mixed with it already....See MoreIs it possible to tell difference between Francee and F Albomarginata?
Comments (26)I love the curves of the new bed..it will be beautiful filled with plants..it's great that you're finished and ready for winter..I'm not :-( we had very strong winds Saturday and now my yard is a big mess..we started 2 piles of limbs..there's green leaves that were ripped off of the trees all over the ground..but nothing hit the house..one shrub was ruined..it could've been worse..a small branch hit me in the head but I'm fine..you can see some hosta in the pic with the bigger limbs..they're still green but are covered with sticks and leaves and look smashed..I love trees but they can be so messy.....See Moreruthann
