I'm a semi-new homeowner. I purchased my home in Oct. 2019, and have been following the site since then. I have read (and re-read the Triangle approach and general cool-season year-round grass schedule).
My lawn has been struggling to really green up. It seems to have a lot of dead/dormant grass underneath. I did make a mistake and applied Scott's Weed-n-Feed come late March. I have since purchased Trimec and have applied one application about 4 weeks ago, just to see how the grass would do. I plan to put down an application of Milogranite this week.
Any other thoughts on how to proceed?
- I'm not sure of the exact grass type, but guessing it's KGB
- I mow to 2-1/2" twice a week
- I water for 40 minutes once per week (~1" of water)
- The front yard gets plenty of sun, as these pictures are from around 2PM MDT. The yard faces SouthWest.
- I have not done a soil sample test yet, but plan to come early fall
- The brown patches are from my mother's dog, who we watched temporarily. (at least I think so)
