[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We badly neglected our lawn for about 5 years. I didn’t water it, I didn’t  fertilize it, and mostly didn’t apply weed killer. Also I stopped using one of those lawn chemical spray services about the same time.

Our financial situation has improved now and I want to invest in our lawn ([b]to be good neighbor[/b] in this community, and also just to have a nicer lawn to be on).

1. Start lawn service NOW (spraying etc.) in the spring? Or will this kill the weeds while not helping the actual grass grow more.

2. Start in the Fall with aeration and overseeding, then do the lawn services after that.

3. Roughly how many years before a visible improvement?

Please advise.[/quote]

Very few people want to hear this, but step one of being an actual good neighbor is to not use chemical fertilizers or weed killers in the first place.  If you want just grass you need to put some physical effort into it, or else it’s better to continue what you’re doing now and let the weeds keep the “lawn” green.

Seriously, we are destroying the environment and weed free green lawns all summer should absolutely go the way of the dodo.  [/quote]
