Spring Fertilizer and pre-emergent

The more I look at the lawn, the better I like the results. Today, I mowed again just to freshen things up and put down a Lesco product that's a combination pre-emergent and fertilizer. I also started up the irrigation system and set it to run early AM every other day. This should be enough given that we've had a pretty wet winter so far.

Spring Cleanup

We just got back from a nice winter trip in warmer climates. Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and New Mexico are nice places to visit during our winter months but they sure don't have any grass. I guess that's good in one sense, no mowing etc.

I can hardly believe the mess our lawn is in after the winter. It looks like we've had some winter storms while we were gone and the squirrels have been working overtime. Sticks, twigs and limbs are everywhere. I spent the whole day getting them up. I also got the yard mowed. What a difference! All the work in the fall is paying dividends. The grass is abundant and thick for the most part.
