With all the rain I've been getting plenty of therapy. Better known as cutting the grass. It's very therapeutic. I get most of my serious thinking done riding the mower, weed eating, edging, and then blowing the yard. I just wish I was better at figuring out what the yard needs. I tried everything at our other house and the yard was okay. I though hey new yard new chance to make it right. I hate to admit it, but I even bought a Scotts Turf book. But it's still just okay. I've put out the fertilizer and treated the yard for weeds, but it still is just okay. I may eventually break down and pay turfbuilder or someone to come in and do it for me. But I'm cheap and I want to get it right myself. I want to be the "Hank Hill" of Moody (King of the Hill). And of course my neighbor spent a ton of money to have zoysia put in his front yard so I'm envious.
The back yard though is in serious need of help. They only sodded a small portion and the rest is rock and dirt. Well, they put out hay and said they seeded it, but I only see hay and mud. I'd love to have about 3 tandem loads of topsoil dumped and sod it, but that would cost way too much. So they boys can help me rake it by hand for the time being.
Just realized my finger was in the way...

Have patience grasshoppah....
This is a relatively new lawn, giver her some time. Looks pretty dang good though in my opinion.
I have zoysia and it is a job keeping it up. It is so thick in some places it interrupts my thinking or therapy as you call it.
(If I cut enough grass, I can resolve most any problem)
I have bermuda that keeps getting in somehow....bird poop...wind,??
Anyway, Josh and I will give you an update on TruGreen soon. So far, I am not very impressed, but I will give them this summer to wow me. See you tonight?
You and Brian need to talk. He hates our lawn. But I think we have the worst yards in Moody. Seriously, the people who landscaped this neighborhood did a crappy job. We have been using Trugreen because with Brian working so much he didn't have the time to devote to the yard like he would have wanted. But Brian isn't even satisfied with them so go figure. We do have less weeds, but there are still weeds out there, and that does not fly with Mr. Mohr.
We are "less than satisfied" with Trugreen! Our yard isn't looking so great either. I am hoping that it will get better this summer. Josh is getting discouraged about it!
