All trees are 5 plus years old and well established.

Ok guys, you should have had your preemergent herbicides for a few weeks now. Also, you may already be seeing some winter broadleaves. Now that daytime temps are below 90°, your 2,4-D and Trimec products can once again be used to spot treat these infiltrators. Rye grass overseed applications should be showing up well since the frosts. About to go dormant, so enjoy the last of the green....although I know most of ya are ready to put away the mowers for the year. Still green here at my house, but I think one last cutting will do it...

When is too late to put out the pre-emergents? Someone forgot

You're the man, boot! BTW totally apologize I never got around to your side of town to pick up that stuff you kindly offered. The newborn has kept me busy, and anytime I get away I'm duck hunting.
Aside from that, I am beginning to see the clovers so I will just have to spot treat the shite out of them!

Should've had it down by Thanksgiving. You can still put it down now, but any poa or weed that has already germinated will show up.

House was built last May, no sod in the back yard so its mostly weeds and bare ground with a little grass mixed in... should I just hit the whole yard with a Round-Up like weed killer? Followed up by spreading some seed?
I need a plan of attack, lined out like youre talking to 12 year old

How big is your back yard? I'm battling the same thing but have 2 acres to deal with.
Posted on 2/11/16 at 2:51 pm to arn

probably something like 4000sqft

Can we get this stickied again. About that time

I just requested.
I put down my first application of weed and feed last Monday. My grass in Scott is already coming to life. Next application is set for next Monday. It already killed a few spots of weeds that I didn't even know where there.
First set of tomatoes are going in today! I like to plant them in sets a month apart from each other, so I am not inundated at one point and have none later.

We have laid 7 pallets of St. Aug over the past two weekends at our new house south of Houston. At what point should I do the first cut, and do I need to put anything on it besides lots of water?

Hey gang,
So I'm a lawn newb.
Haven't lived in a house since I was 17. Me and my girlfriend have moved into a nice 4 bedroom rent house in Houston that we love. Great neighbor's, upcoming area, and it's right down the road from where she teaches. AND the landlords love us and give us a great rate. So no plans on going anywhere til we buy closer to where I work in Woodlands/Spring. Now you may ask, "why do you give a shite about the lawn at a rent house?". Well, besides pride we have a 4 year old retired greyhound and in 7 weeks will have a Vizsla. The greyhound already can put divots in any lawn when she starts sprinting while playing. So when she has a friend, I'm concerned what they'll do if the lawn isn't healthy.
When we moved in last August the previous tenant destroyed the lawn. It's was brown/yellow and crispy. You could rake the lawn down to dirt with a swipe.
Unknowingly I put down weed and feed, started watering regularly, then put in a ton of rye grass last fall.
Now, the lawn is a beautiful thick carpet of rye grass (with some weeds in the back), but as we know that has another few weeks and it's gone.
The base lawn is St Aug, can the board help me with what I need to get my St Aug thick and healthy for the Spring and Summer? I'll take any advice I can get. TIA
Ohh.
St Augustine
~ 2800 square feet
No trees in front
Few medium sized trees around perimeter in the back.

Wait until mid-april to hit it with a fertilizer. THe roots need time to establish so they can use the fertilizer best.
quote:
A fertilizer with an analysis that has about a 3:1:2 ratio would work fine. The ratio of a fertilizer’s analysis – the three numbers on a fertilizer package that tell you the percentages of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in that order – is found by dividing each number in the analysis by the smallest number of the analysis. A good general purpose fertilizer, such as 15-5-10, also is suitable for use on trees, shrubs and flowers, as well as your lawns, which simplifies your fertilizer purchases. Fertilizers with similar analysis such as 16-4-8, 12-4-8 or 19-5-9 also would be suitable.

Can spray winter broadleaves now, until temps reach 90°. Knock down your weed problem BEFORE fertilizing. It's weed then feed, not weed and feed.
Posted on 3/1/16 at 10:01 am to bootlegger
I don't have a broadleaf problem...a couple clover patches here and there by the ditches but that is it. I have isolated crabgrass patches as well as a random kind of stalk weed that kind of looks like grass but just grows higher than normal grass
