I bailed on Tru-Green a couple of years ago because I felt they came out way too much, almost weekly. My yard has looked nasty since then, so I will probably opt back in. I do wonder if all that pesticide and fertilizer is healthy to be around, though.

No. Your theory isn’t wrong. When we first bought this house earlier this year the lawn had little to no broad leaf weeds in it. I threw my back out shortly after and relied on a lawn service for about a month. A month after that I’m spraying Celsius to keep them at bay.

Pretty much the same here. I may run my mower once every 3 weeks in the winter months just to neaten things up.
Living in N.O. will find the grass still growing, although much slower, in the colder months.

Crabgrass, dallisgrass and bahia are non native, so....

Same here: Mid/late Oct has it all: Cooler weather, College football and finally getting relief from worrying about a stupid lawn.

Don’t worry about a few weeds. They’re part of the natural environment and good for bees. Lawns are not native to North America and are difficult to keep perfect. Go for the more natural look. I never use weed killer and my lawn looks fine.
Obsession over lawns is a result of marking. Kind of like diamonds or any of the other shite we've been convinced to buy.

Get natural st Aug and be done with all the cosmetic boutique bullshite. Trim and cut regularly and occasionally maybe a weed n feed or other product to knock down sporadic weeds.
