We moved in in April and decided to do our own lawn. Since the lawn was new we did fertilize 4 times this year. We used Lesco 15-0-15. Our lawn looks beautiful. We cut the lawn every 5-7 days during the growing season and we cut it high, 2 to 2 1/2 inches. We applied grub control in May and we applied a fungicide two times during the growing season. As far as the plants and trees, we sprayed twice with a liquid fungicide and every 4 weeks we use miracle grow. We also spray our home outside with home defense. We have not had a bug in the house. We go through this process the first of each month in the early morning. Fertilizing, pest control, and fungicide is completed within 2 days. We have the rest of the day and month for our enjoyment. We do this ourselves as we feel it Is good exercise and we enjoy the satisfaction of a job well done as well as the compliments we receive from the neighbors.
