Found someone who re-soded my front yard (only 500 sq feet)
 

you might think its easy but it wasn't. The job was too small, I guess. But finally found someone for under $700.00 but I don't think I can tell you because of the thread rules, which I understand. So maybe you could leave a note and i'll get back to you? I live in Alhambra in a patio villa and my lawn was devastated , I think by cinch bugs. So this company came over and "cut" the weeds out and then laid sod with a couple of other guys in about an hour.

Oh wait I see there's a daily email notification maybe I can return messages that way?

I’ll take the company information please.

Hope you killed the cinch bugs; otherwise you just gave them dessert! :ohdear:

PLS PM me company contact info

Please PM me with the name of your sod installer.

Thank you,

Dirigo

If you didn't get rid of the cinch bugs, they'll just move on to the new sod and infest that. You can safely use diatomaceous earth on the dead spots, it's not toxic to mammals or birds, but it's deadly to insects and parasites. You just sprinkle a little bit of it (a few tablespoons per square foot) - on a day when it isn't expected to rain for at least 4 hours. Then repeat the process a week later, and then one week after that.

Then pull out all the dead grass, and add some seed or just let the grass work its way back into place (real grass needs seed. Bermuda grass needs nothing)

What thread rule? The only one I know about is no political discussion. And has to do something with the Villages. The sod work was done in the Villages, right? Please inform me.

D/e is available at any pool store company
 

As many have said you have to really kill the cinch bugs first and I hope someone did that for you. De powder is used as a filter element for pools, and very cheap relatively speaking. It's available from Leslie pool as well as any other pool supply store just for your reference. It may not be too late to put it down on the new grass but I'm not an expert on that part

I would like the info. Thank you.

From the MODERATOR:

:ohdear::ohdear:

[QUOTE=DaleDivine;1952592]Do you mean ten posts asking about a landscaper or ten posts responding to someone discussing a landscaper?

[QUOTE=rmd2;1952595]It means that who ever posts a recommendation about a landscaper must have at least 10 posts.
:welcome:

I suggest we all check any information on this site or any other for that matter. People do not state their knowledge or their bias. Diatomaceous earth is an organic insect control.What it is, is fine shells from ??? sea creatures. It is sharp and so will kill some insects. While people to not follow directions for chemical insecticides either, wear a mask, you do not want to breathe in diatomaceous earth.

Cinch bugs assuming the OP has it right, are the same as bed bugs. In your lawn, likely in your home as well.

As I recall, chemical applications, require several applications as they kill the insects but not the eggs so you need to allow the eggs to hatch and apply again.

I find it amusing how few people read and follow instructions and how many figure if it says one gallon per 1,000 sq foot or whatever it says. My lawn deserves more than that
I will give it two gallons.

Please send me name too
Thank you
