2021 Yard Thread

[black2002ls]

Everything I planted a few weeks before the cold hit is either dead or stressed. My indian hawthornes are all burned on top. Good healthy green on the bottom, except for one that looked like shit when I planted it compared to the other 3. My decorative "grass" died as well.

My holly hedge had all of the leaves turn brown except for the ones in a more protected area. I'm not mad, my wife hates those bushes and wants to replace them anyway.

Yeah, my front bushes which never lose their leaves got hit pretty hard... hopefully they will be ok.

Anybody have bushes turn brown after the freeze? I’ve got a handful that have turned and dropped leaves. I’ve got my fingers crossed they’ll be alright

Yes, including plants that are supposed to withstand the cold. The bad part is most of the local nurseries sustained losses as well, Replacements might be hard to come by,

The rainy season will make my yard look good for a month, maybe 2. Then it will go back to looking like the wasteland for 6-8 months. Strange creatures live in the cracks

I put a bunch of zoysia sod down this fall and its handled the weather marvelously. can I just seed over my existing grass(and weeds) and let it take over?

I haven't even picked up any leaves this season. Glad I waited longer. Usually rake/mow in January.

This hard freeze should definitely help with annual weeds this spring

I'm jealous of those tiny, manicured lawns. I bet it cost you guys like 10 bucks to get mowed.

I cut my own... I only pay for fertilizer/weed prevention.

I don’t think anyone shows up/stops for less than 25 these days.. he’ll 20-25 was the price of lawn work in the 90’s!

Since mine is fresh sod, I don’t have much hope for a completely baller ass lawn this season. Like Craizie mentioned (he saw it first hand) the sod is just laying on clay and needs to be grown in and leveled. It’ll take a couple years I bet. I want a reel mower. I’m a glutton for punishment.

It will likely take better than you think..

I’m kind of in the same boat this season.
I removed my flower beds, had borders installed with new sod. It’ll need leveling for sure.

Pre emergent with the active ingredient “dithiopyr” is great for spring. It can kill freshly germinated crabgrass if you’re a little late getting it down

Bad idea for new sod. But yes, great ingredient. Wait for that 55 degree soil temp average though.
