My neighbors all put down fertilizer and have the chemlawn trucks come around and spray for weeds and shit and my lawn looks about the same as theirs. I have a few more weeds than they do but nothing major.

ya, i guess turf builder with weed and feed in it is just me being crazy, they dont sell that at all…:ugh2:

Scotts® Turf Builder® with Plus 2® Weed Control kills dandelions and other major lawn weeds completely while helping to build a thick, green turf from the roots up.

All this talk about lawn care makes me think…

Mower is pretty cheap, but gas and time spent cutting over the years will add up.

Landscapers are a litte more, but you don’t spend your own time doing it.

Artificial turf/concrete…expensive up front…near zero maintenance!

Jackedup can run the #s on it, I’ve seen him post that algorithm for what size engine motorcycle a person should buy based on age, gender, height, weight, riding experience and household income, he’s good at that sort of thing.

Whitey - if you’re going to go the fertilizer route, I’d look into a lawn service. I used to cringe at the thought of not doing it myself (like every other project), until I priced it and realized that the cost of the product was about the same as having a service do it.

And it’s not like building a deck or something where having someone else do it may not give you the quality that you’re after.
