Fricken rain needs to chill for a bit. Getting tired of spending mornings and evenings after work all fucking wet and muddy working in the yard.
Good news is the tree guy is coming next week to grind 6 stumps. $450 cash. Will be sooo nice not to have these 40” diameter trunks all over the yard. Also he knows a guy that will take the giant logs in the yard. One less thing for me to have to spend time cutting up. Someday I’ll have a decent yard.

Just ordered these to have two sets. These have the tines angled forward toward the end of the blade. The ones on there now are turned forward towards the center of the blade. Wondering if that will help mulch even better.
They do, I liked them.
How’s my lawn?
Hoping a couple years of fertilizer can fix it.
Welp, great day for yardwork today. I did a cut and whipped out the dethatcher. Unbelievable how much undergrowth I had. 4 huge piles, probably 100 lbs of thatch!
Lawn is gonna look sad for a little but it’ll perk up great

They bring to the surface all kinds of crap from the yard.
A year or two of simple yard care can really turn a property around.
The YT channels are good for tips n tricks but they both over complicate and quickly drag you down into a rabbit hole (financially and mentally). Granted, they are looking to sell their products and increase subscribers / likes.
Mowed at the Elgin house today, and certain areas look primo, but I have a lot of dead spots that I'm not sure how that happened. So after mowing, I turned the soil up, seeded and then raked the seed in, then watered. Amazingly with all the rain we've had, the soil was very dry. Which got me to thinking, these dead spots are around our trees. So I am wondering if it's the trees root system, sucking up all the water, killing the grass. It isn't a shade issue as these trees don't cast a big shadow.
Dethatched and aerated in the fall and put down some Menards tall fescue seed. Nothing germinated. So I put down some Jonathan Green black beauty ultra seed on Easter with some Scotts seed-safe pre-emergent. Starting to come around. Got some thin and bare spots I wanted to re-seed again but worried about the incoming heat wave
I’ve barely done anything to it. Last year All I did was cut grass.
Threw down weed and feed in the fall, signed a contract with spring green this year though. We’re a week away from being in the house for a full year. I have too many other projects going on, especially with pregnant fiancé, to give it much attention.
