If a neighbor's lawn looked like this you would call Community Standards and they would issue daily fines until things were corrected. But what if the 'neighbor' was a Country Club owned by the developer and they refuse to do anything about it?

Looks like a golf starter shack, so go to the shack, and ask for the manager of that golf course and discuss with them.

I did that. I said they refuse to help.

He said they would tell the superintendent. Then they spread something that looked like grass clippings. This photo is one month after that treatment.

It's amazing what a few weeks of rain might do to that area. We have a mowed area behind our home that is full of weeds that they won't take care of and they are spreading into my lawn so I asked if I could do it the answer was no. I did it anyway and it looks so much better now.

That could easily be my lawn! I say my job is to make my neighbor's lawn look good!

When will these few weeks of rain be coming? Cannot believe how dry it has been.

A golfer would know what things are like May & June.

I'd be embarrassed if that was my yard. Does yours look like this during those two months?

What does my yard have to do with it?

Not sure “golfers” should accept crappy conditions, based on the month(s) of the year. My point was that I wouldn’t let my yard get to that state. But hey, if you’re happy with it, it’s all good, right!

Hats off to you sir! If you want it done right just do it yourself!
