What would be best to use on white clover right now. In Lafayette area. Bermuda is in green up currently. Have about 8 acres to do, so trying to keep it economical.

I have Zenith. In the shade, it'll live, but not really spread out that much. So unless you sod, you'll be waiting for a long time.

Keep cut at 2".

Trying to get a bunch of bermuda out of my zenith zoysia. From what I've ready, Fusilade II is the herbicide to use. However, I've ready some opinions that suggest adding other things in to aid (Triclopyr 4 or Methylated Seed Oil).

Anyone have any experience with this?

The pea gravel will be everywhere. Use limestone 610. It has a powder to it and will get hard. Almost like cement. I'd keep the rock about 1/4" lower than the top of the paver. Wet it down good after you spread it.

I think you are underestimating. There will have to be removal of the existing grass and surface prep (sand / level / pack).

Also, artificial turf gets very hot in the summer. Like you won't walk on it barefoot in summer time.

Looking to see if anyone has any suggestions or experience recording full sided games. In the past we've used a traditional video camera on a tripod. Quality is a little low and takes someone to operate the tripod. Wanting to possibly spend the money on something better. Something I can set up and forget it. I looked at the Veo system, but looks like that requires some type of membership??? Something that would track the ball would be nice. Don't want the device where a player has to where the chip.

Appreciate any help ya'll got!

Unless its a tremendous amount, dig them up.

In my experience with dallisgrass, you can't kill it. What you see dead now, will always be dead, but more will be back next summer. Dallisgrass has a rhizome. If you don't get that up, next year it will push up new growth. A big rhizome is about half the length of your pinky.

Also, if seeds have been dumped in that area, put a pre-emerg down.

I did something similar, but I used the stones in the pic that you said you didn't want. I dug a trench, and then used dry bagged cement instead of sand. Used that to level and as a base. Ran my first row of stones and then wet it all down and let it sit 24 hrs. When adding the stones on top, i used gorilla glue that comes in a caulk tube. In some spots, I'm 4 stones high. It's level, and has been up for a year and a half. Still looks good.

When I first built I put rye in a few sections around the house. Bought a Great States 18" reel. It did well. If you're only doing the court area it won't be bad at all. Not sure what type of grass you have though. I would imagine if you have St. Augustine and only cut once a week it would be a chore to push.

I did all mine with PVC. I would use the sewer pipe if I ever build again. My down spouts are 3x4. Gutter guy told me to use 4" pipe for single down spout. And go up to 6" if I ran two together. Been working good so far.

don't cut it low. If you can't find someone to cut it for you after 5 days, just pick deck up high when you get back. Wait 2 days and drop to normal height.

I have 2 drake elms in my front yard. Haven't noticed any roots running on top the ground. (not far from the tree anyway). They grow fast and offer a pretty good canopy.

Anyone have any experience with this? Looking for a ground cover that will grow in between pavers. Is it a pain to deal with?

I have zenith zoysia. Went back and forth when deciding on a new mower. Reel vs rotary. Ended up going with a 42" zero turn rotary. Yard is just a little to big to push all the time. Been cutting at 2" with no issues. No scalping issues. Want to try dropping to 1.5" eventually. Anyone have experience going that low with a rotary?

I got my E license back before they came up with the grass roots course. It was a 3 day course. Not going to say I didn't learn anything, but I felt like it was a bit of a joke. Was def a participation license and everyone gets it just for showing up. I honestly learned more from youtube / internet. Although 10 years ago, there weren't nearly as many youtube videos. Trial and error with my players was another big thing.

I was never a player. Only got into it because my son started playing and they asked for coaching help. I joke all the time that my oldest son was my learning curve and my next son will get much better coaching. LOL. But it's true, you can't beat experience.

I think the entire "competitive" program struggles because of coaches / clubs that want to win NOW. I undertand U11 and U12 players may not come back if you're not successful, but I've seen coaches rely on 1 or 2 studs on the U12 field. Move to U13 on the big field and now it's a team sport. Problem is players haven't learned to play.... only support the wanna be Messi.
