Default know what ya all mean

I cut my own yard because I like and need the exercise. Some of my neigbors were really getting poor service from their lawn service. They would cut short and would not raise their machines. They also go veryfast and sometimes the cutting bed would dig in and scalp the yard.
I offered to do some of my neighbors yards and now I cut a few. I use a selfpropelled walk behing Lawn Boy just like back up North and I cut at about 2.75" which my neighbors like much better. This spring has been dry and the grass is doing better than when it was cut short.
I also think you can not beat Scotts. I spread 4 times a year and use the soyzia turf builder. Some times I use the weed and feed if weeds are coming through the grass. Usually about once a year.
