SJonesWX Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 initial lawn cleanup completed today. picked up approximately 1,000 sticks and branches, then towed the lawn sweeper around to pick up the pine cones and smaller sticks. Will likely need to repeat the sweeping in a couple weeks. first mow still won’t be needed for another few weeks 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 This weekend had me cleaning out all mulch beds and access leaves/crap on lawn. So far ahead of the game. This early start has at least shown me where the weeds are that I need to terminate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good deal. The crabgrass went crazy last season but I missed the early season prevention so I’m putting JG down to hopefully control it this season.

The JG synthetic crabgrass control worked wonders for me last year.
