Are you watering rotors for 10-15 min .?

Just dont expect much for results without a solid years worth of treatments. Pre-emergent is the key. Also, watch out with some companies they wont guarantee results unless you follow their watering schedule. I know I dont want to afford watering my acre.

I expected as much and the tech did mention the same thing. This is no Tru Green. This is Go Green Or Green Go, but it's along the same lines.

I'm already watering my acre. Not to the point that my nieghbors are, but I am watering it. The tech did say twice a week 15 minutes a zone. I'm doing 3 times a week 10 minutes a zone, but that will probably get dialed back.

My entire yard is weeds. As in all of it. It's terrible.

I was quoted $200 per treatment for 40,000 sqft.

Depends, if you have a bunch of weeds then at least the first year for sure. If it's already a clean yard then you might be able to cut that down some.

How much are you guys paying? What is your lot size? I'm on 1/3 acre. I have fought the weeds for 2.5 years. I have made drastic improvements, but damn its getting old.

read up on your specific area... True Green is definitely hit or miss

Good to know.

I priced the weed/feed, fertilizer and pre - emergent and by doing it myself I was only saving $15 per treatment. Seems like a no brainer.

The real question is do you need 7 or 8 treatments a year like they recommend.

I'm very happy with their service on my yard...

What's everyone's take on the tru green type services?

I'm considering doing this, but it's for an acre of yard.

Any holes anywhere? A mole royally fucked my yard up late winter / early spring... Same stuff you're describing, soft ground that 'falls' back into place when you step on it and fucked off grass.

I just spread some grub worm killer down at the advice of a neighbor, but from what I've read it won't work. I think there are some sonar devices you can buy but I know nothing about them..yet.

There are poison worms and the good old fashion impaling devices. I figure I'll try the worms

Well, see if anyone has ideas on this one. I laid sod in this area last year and its all dead this year and the yard has become very bumpy. My dad was thinking moles are tunneling. The high spots can be knocked back down with stepping on them. The ground is very soft. The sod was beautiful last year

I'm irritated that my lawn won't just be beautiful on its own.

Anyone try that scotts bald spot remover?

I use 2-4D and it gets the job done. Works great for Sandburs too and doesn't harm Bermuda

This is some good shit!! I've been using it this past year or so to kill off the poison ivy, and I tell you everywhere I've sprayed it, has nice plush grass coming through!! I plan to spray the whole lot once I get a bit more grass. Also I'm having a hard time finding it in a bulk jug that doesn't require a license to buy. I have about 2.5 acres so I figure a good amount will be used to give t a good treatment.
