 o
New/Old yard help!

Posted by kevininga GA (My Page) on

Hello, I am new to this site and I am seeking help with my new house/yard! I should clarify, this is a new home to us, but is 16 years old, so the yard is well established. I really want a nice green yard with a broad leaf grass, but right now I have a mix of Weeds, Fescue, bermuda, and more weeds. I have a lot of clover and crab grass, along with various other weeds. I an new to taking care of a large yard, (3/4 acre of grass) and would like some help on how I can get started so that next spring I will have more grass and less weeds. My yard has a mix of sun and shade, but is mostly open. Also one other thing. I have had conflicting answers as to if I should bag the grass clippings, or use the mulching setting on the mower. Thank you for any input.

Have you tried posting this on the lawns forum?
Your yard sounds like ours. LOL
We have horse pastures on each side of us and can not get rid of the weeds especially the common bermuda. It has choked out the fescue we have been trying to establish for 4 years.
