Thanks for the update.....looking good. I've already replaced a few yards around here involving new wells, pumps, irrigation systems, plants, sod, etc.

We don't really use seed too much - just sod.

Tell us more about the ACL surgery on your furkid? Billabong is still in rehab with hers (left rear).

Here's a yard I did not long ago....

Nice looking yard Bazz.
The little girl's knee would pop out, nothing to do with the ACL. So they tightened a couple ligaments & inserted two pins or screws into the knee to keep it stable. The same leg she dislocated her ip a year & 1/2 ago. Man is she a trooper. Just wish she wasn't such a banchy!!

OK Markus....that's cool. My rescue has the bad knees....2 surgeries so far - one on each leg. The older one Winkipop just goes and goes and goes.....never a problem, thankfully. They're such a good breed - give yours a scritch or 5 from my girls! :)

You got is Baz and back at em'. Hydro-seeded yesterday. We'll see. Would have loved to use turf but at 18,000 sq. feet not feasible, at least with my wallet.

good luck, and hire a DIFFERENT lawn chemical company

or avoid that all together

Baz 05-11-2012 05:18 PM

Looking good Mark......and yes indeed - good luck and please keep us posted! :)

I guess I'm some kind of eco nut, but I can't imagine wanting or trying to have that much grass. Why not plant a wildflower field? Much more colorful, no chemicals, no maintenance.

Another update, 2 years & a ton of money later and this is what I have now. It's filled in pretty good. We've had a wet & cold spring so far which is helping the lawn look like Ireland!! Almost back to where it was in 2012. (crappy cell phone pic)

Your lawn has made a beautiful recovery, Mark! Do you make house calls? :D

porsche4life 05-03-2014 09:26 AM

I'll stick to rocks and cactus. Harder to kill rocks. ;)

Buckterrier 06-16-2014 03:33 PM

Thanks guys. I just like grass!

Shaun doing well thanks. Hope all is well with you.
Sydney I love cacti I have maybe 8 or so. If I lived where they lived outside I'd certainly have a rock, sand, & cactus yard.

What did you end up finding? I mean, did you determine what killed the lawn?

It looks beautiful btw.
