We use corn gluten in the spring as a pre-emergent (prevents weeds from growing and also feeds grass). Then we overseed in the fall. Keep it mowed and trimmed neatly. That's really all you have to do and looks perfectly nice.
Anyone who doesn't like it can kiss my ass. I don't like them spraying toxic pesticides all over the damned place but I keep my mouth shut. Their house, their rules. My house, my rules. That's how it goes, folks.

If you were my neighbor, you'd get an earful about that. My kids and my dog play there, and it's MY legal property. You have no right to do that.

I am one of the people who gets headaches and mild nausea from even limited exposure to any real concentration (like walking through a recently sprayed subdivision, for example). A bright green monoculture doesn't really say anything to me about good upkeep; it reminds me of my lawn fanatic neighbor when i was a kid. He mowed three or four nights a week - just a little bit off the top! And ALWAYS at supper time - weed whipper, out there with his bottle of roundup in addition to getting sprayed by a service. A pristine lawn does not a good homeowner make.
