I have a few questions so i'll stick to one thread about them.

1) I'm looking to install brick pavers in my back patio area, and extend out my existing patio. I've looked into doing it myself, but would also like to price it out, for someone else to do it. Would this typically be a landscape architect?
2) Right now i'm having problems with clovers in my backyard. I bought the house in November. I've already used scott's winterguard when i moved in. And i have some Bonus S i will be putting down in March. Then in the summer i was going to put down some Ironite. After a few years this should take care of the problem, just wondering if anyone else has any tips.

Spray the clovers with a weed killer before your grass comes up. Home Depot should have something safe for your lawn that you can attach directly to the end of your hose, no mixing, etc.

Only way to get the clover now is spray 24d. The winter guard you put down in November was too late.

Find a crew working somewhere and ask them if they do side work on the weekends.

2-4D the clover

Not sure what to tell you about the bricks. I'd do it myself. Good excuse to drink beer.

What should I use to get rid of my clover patches?

And should I be worried about my brown patches yet?
