    Just wanted to let you know I took your steps and this fall, my yard looks at least 75% better than what I came in with. Tenacity is amazing - got rid of my crabgrass and ground ivy, and most of my dandelion. I spot sprayed for weeds August 1 and again August 15 to hit what I missed. I aerated (this was hard on a hilly lawn, but next year I will use a billy goat or outsource this part) September 13, and put down limestone then - I have a lot of moss and pine needles to deal with. I overseeded the next day with Pennington Contractor's Mix. Fertilized a week later. Watered twice a day for about 2 weeks after seeding. Then every 3 days or so for another couple weeks. Was ready to mow by week 3... there was over 6 inches of growth. I basically haven't stopped bagging weekly clippings since... helps me get all the leaves off my heavily wooded lawn. It's not perfect, but my husband is impressed with what I've accomplished in a single season with minimal investment. I wish I could post my before and after pics. Guys, if you live in New England.... Silver Cymbal's tips will help you get your lawn better. These steps worked for me. I am no longer embarrassed of my lawn. Thank you Silver Cymbal!

So mine has been nice and green but I have had to water it here and there to keep it from starting to Brown in between the rains. And I also have zoysia grass so it always dies and turns brown and dormant in the fall and winter, so that will be coming soon for me. But it is fun taking care of the lawn I think.

    Thank you so much, I followed these steps and achieved unbelievable results that shocked my neighbors, family members, and coworkers. I had all but given up, my lawn had turned brown and sparse - looking completely dead. I followed these simple steps, and followed them COMPLETELY, and had a perfect green lawn within 5 weeks. So many people asked about it, and all of them I just gave them your link! Cannot thank you enough. And for those of you reading this and are on the fence about doing it, stop thinking and just do it - but do it ALL, no shortcuts.

Then I water twice every day and refrain from cutting for 4 weeks

    and everything that can cause a really thin sparse lawn is using a sprinkler system too much too often it depletes the nutrients so a lack of fertilization will also cause a poor looking lawn and once the lawn is established it's best to water heavy one time per week instead of light waterings everyday this will force the roots to go deep and top growth equals root development in about 3 in of root development for seed to make it through the summer so that's why it's best not to seed during the summer. your advice is pinpoint accuracy for success

    You want a blend of different grasses. That way if it gets a disease it won't wipe out your entire lawn. Set a timer to water just before sun up. This will cut down on mold and overall disease. If you aerate it's a must to keep the clippings after you mow. This will add nitrogen and provide coverage from the sun and hold enough moisture, not too much for mold, to help with new seed. I worked at a large lawn care company all throughout college. Their methods were backed by years of science. Last tip keep your mower at top height. This will allow the grass to naturally chock out new weeds reducing the need for chemical sprays.

The first 2 tenacity applications were over the whole yard, last one was spot treatment. I’m currently waiting for my second round of overseeding to grow but i’ve seen a massive improvement. it feels like a miracle! i have gained so much confidence in how to fix and maintain a lawn when I was once was hopeless. i’m confident before the next winter my yard will be one of the best in the neighborhood. thank you so much for the clear and easy to follow instructions!

    You seem to love your perfect lawns in the US; I 've read that billions of $$$'s are spent on keeping them green and pristeen. Here in the UK there's a growing trend towards sowing meadow mixes to make our gardens into wildlife havens. I see it in my own street. It's been going either way; some people pave over their lawns to park more cars but others have dedicated parts or sometimes all of their lawn to encourage wildflowers. Done well it looks amazing! I use the fiskars staysharp plus reel mower which lifts to 4" and allows me to mow low flowering areas of grass without damaging the flowers. Sitting in my garden it literally dances with life; butterflies, bees, dragonflies and other pollinators. These in turn have brought in more insectivorous birds and even toads and hedgehogs; my former lawn now teems with biodiversity! My cats love exploring and snoozing among the long grasses and flowers too. It used to be just a lifeless monoculture of green before. When I see a pristine lawn now it looks like a desert to me.

    We have tried four or five different lawn services over the last 14 years and had no success with any of them, and we had core aeration done twice a year for three years and then switched to liquid aeration the last two years. The last lawn service asked us to give them a year to get the lawn in shape and we gave them almost two and we lost another fall of doing your method. Oddly enough, our front lawn is the oldest and it does the best. The challenging part is the largest part and it was all new Bermuda sod about 6 years ago. Our HOA at the time said we had to have the same grass everywhere but our back and side yards have a lot of shade and primarily morning sun on the back. We are now allowed to do different grasses. We are in the Atlanta GA area. We had 42 trees removed from our backyard and there are literally no trees, but a great deal of shade comes from the neighbors trees in the back and parts of the side yards and on the left side of our home, the shade from the height of our home, our neighbors home and a large tree of theirs, seems to keep grass from growing for long. The sod lasted about 4 or 5 years. We have been told that we have bedrock under where the worst part of the lawn is but our HOA would not let us jackhammer the rock because they said it could affect the integrity of neighboring foundations. We aren't really allowed to have rock showing in the front yard, but a lot of our neighbors have it showing so if it is our only option, we may have to do that. On the side yards, can we grow shade grasses or at least try it? We can't afford to sod again and keep re-sodding, so we thought we should overseed with a blend of seed meant for shade like a blend with Kentucky Bluegrass and maybe some Fescue- we have neighbors that have almost total shade and their Fescue is gorgeous but they did sod. Plus we get more sun in the very back, morning sun, except for the areas with shade from neighbor's trees. We read that you shouldn't overseed Bermuda because it is too strong but it is so unhealthy, we are hoping that is not the case. The grass did best with liquid aeration and our sprinklers were installed so close to the surface, that core aeration is dangerous for our sprinklers. So we have a ton of weeds, a ton of brown spots, and quite a lot of bald areas, including one whole side of our yard. I am so overwhelmed. Can't wait until the fall again, must do something now.
