D Dr. Jimbo I put that in there because I know you'd be the first one over dropping your drawers and leaving $2 worth on my yard.No, no one needs to go take a dump in their yards.

That seems like a lot of money when u add the extra $25 per application. I get creeping Charlie and I spray them drown twice a year and that takes care of them each bottle is under $10.
What I get
Spring fertilizer
Crabgrass preventer
Weed control
Lawn food
Winter
I don’t think I spend more than $100 and I buy from rural king or menards when on sale unless u have an acre then u need the big bags then the cost will go up
Still makes me want to try and do the water pump that I posted in this thread before. Free grass water = nice!
My grass just needs to get better. I’m on the fence about people doing it, but on the other hand if someone jump starts it, maintaining is easier.
I use Weiss and they're okay. They've missed areas of my lawn before and seem to put a light application of product. Also if you have issues with your yard, they don't seem to be the most knowledgeable.
Yes, a company called Eternally Green. They seemed more knowledgeable about turf management.
I know we have had these discussions before in this thread, but as said, my experience is a complete 180*.
- I get the breakdown of what they put down. The products, percent mix, etc.
- The results above speak for themselves. Is it absolute utter perfection? No. But from the dead yard and weed farm it was, this is like a perfect award winning yard.
- When I have had issues with them, I.E. them putting something down, then we get a downpour or 80 MPH winds blowing the granules away, I call them up and they're here the next day re-doing it. Never had issues with the customer service.
- I will say that they have grown exponentially, which might contribute to issues you had. I started with them when they did basically the Wheaton/Carol Stream/WeGo area and wouldn't venture out of that. But the flip side of that is, they've grown because of their good rep.
- I have had the others and while I don't think they were bad, the yard didn't turn around the way it had/has under Weiss.

I was literally going to say the same thing. 2 years ago it was about $350 for the year. Last year it was $425. I just got the pre pay invoice for 2023 and it’s just shy of $500. That does include 6 applications, weed control, core aeration, and grub control.
Dug up my quote yesterday, it was just over $800 for 7 visits and aeration for the year. I’m just going to have them do it again. I’ll save myself a couple hundred bucks DIY, it’s not something I really want to make time for right now though. Too many other irons in the fire
I feel like I’m in the same boat. Don’t have the time or want to do it myself but the price is a hard pill to swallow
So, when I was over at the house this morning, another benefit is that I am already seeing the green come back in the grass. I look at other yards next to be and they still have the dormant light brown.
So it also recovers quickly.
So it also recovers quickly.
I’ve got half a million home projects already going. Some day when things are calmed down, I’ll definitely take more pride in doing the lawn myself.
It was already jacked up before the Russia War. Prices have gone up mostly due to farm crop prices, although they will claim shortages are the reason for the increase. Except there weren't actually any shortages.
I saw that the other day walking the dog my yard is not as brown or dormant as my neighbors but I figured it was because of the different types of grass.
Skip to 2:28, I built and have been using these poison traps and they work.
I also gas them out (Gopher gas)
