My neighbor pays for their yard to look this way

Id fight somebody if they made my yard look like that. I'm the only person who is allowed to make my yard look like that.

If it’s just a cutting crew, it looks cut.

That is probably because their yard was full of weeds, when they hired the weed/fert company, their weeds got smoked and it resulted in that. Very common actually for weedy yards.

Looks like she doesn’t water it.

Yeah get out there with a can of spray paint for fricks sake.

It's been like this for 2 - 3 years now and is full of crabgrass. The scald is piss burn from dogs. Yesterday the treatment company came to treat and also put up their sign. I'd be embarrassed if I was a grass treatment company and couldn't kill of the weeds in that amount of time. Its not working!

You have to have some personal stake and some effort. Unless you pay for a high-priced boutique service it'll eventually end up like this.

I have someone spray my lawn for weeds and bugs, yet about once a week I'll spend 10-15 minutes pulling a few weeds that mostly spill over from the neighbors yard and their yard cutting guys sending stray bullets over the line.

If in Harlan County KY, then most likely it’s some cool season grass, which will not creep and fill in, at least in the way our warm season grasses do. In the heat of summer, these grasses look as bad or worse than our warm season grasses look in the winter.
If they started out using a cheap big-box store blend, it’s no surprise it looks like this.
It’s in its dormancy at this time of year, and turf diseases love heat and humidity. Even the best varieties are affected, but probably not to this extent.
If you’re committed to cool season turf, you’re gonna have to overseed most years. Certain bluegrasses will spread quicker than others, but not like our bermudagrasses or St. Augustines.
So it’s not the fault of his lawn services. He needs to overseed this month using cultivars recommended by UKY/county ag agent and be prepared to do it yearly.

I live in Hoover Alabama. Grew up in Harlan County KY.

The pics were taken here in Hoover. Their yard has looked like this for the last few years. They have a service that can't seem to kill off the weeds and keep next seasons seeds from germinating.

If it were my yard, I'd saturate the ground and pull those clumps of roots out immediatelyremoving seed producing mature weeds. Then fill the holes back in with dirt, then pre-emerge the heck out of the lawn over the next few seasons.

Ahh, the nice suburban 1990s style houses.
