New guy just saying "Hello!".
I'm new to the forum and I just wanted to say hello to everyone. A bit about me for inquiring minds... I've got three animals err... I mean kids (4yo, 2yo and 11months). Originally from Long Beach, CA but now living in Noblesville, Indiana (just north of Indianapolis. I work at home doing project managment and digital marketing for a company that serves e-commerce clients... I've always been into landscape design, lawn care, gardening, etc. but I've never owned a place where I could get outside and really do anything. We bought our first home in December and I've been reading and watching everything I can find to learn about lawn care ever since. This site has been great, I've been lurking in the background reading a lot of posts on here.
I might post about my lawn (it's horrendous) in the cool season grass section (would that be the right place?). There are a lot of problems so it would be nice just to give everyone a synopsis of what I'm dealing with, what my plan is and to also get some general thoughts. But for now I just wanted to introduce myself.
Take care!

Welcome, Mike! Don't fret over where to put a thread - if it isn't attracting attention/responses, a Mod or Admin will offer to move it for you. And you wouldn't be the first to post a "horrendous" lawn here.

Welcome Mike.
There are a few of us from the Indy area. Yes in our region we have cool season grass, so use that forum. There is a lot great info on the site and good folks to help and guide. Getting your soil tested is one of the first key steps to good lawn. The soil forum has the instructions to follow.

Re: New guy just saying "Hello!".
I thought I noticed a handful of people from the area, that's great. We moved out from CA December of 2015. We were renting in Noblesville and fell in love with the location, the house we bought was only a couple miles away from the rental. I got a soil test done at the Soil and Water Conservation District before I read anything on the soil forum. I just got the results back last week.g-man wrote: ↑March 13th, 2017, 10:28 pmWelcome Mike.
