Lawncare 2025

I’m throwing this onto the website for historical purposes and to share what my strategy for lawncare this year will be.  I may be doing things right, doing them wrong, or a combination of both.  We’ll see how the yard looks this fall!  Yard is around 4,500 sqft.  Est. cost of $275.00 minus any reuse of liquids into next year/from year prior.  Two bags of fertilizer required.  Height of cut 3″

This will be my first season of lawncare where I don’t have an inground sprinkler system so I’m excited/nervous to see how both I and the lawn will manage.  Given the water rates in our new city, I don’t believe I’ll be supplementing the lack of rain for many reasons.
