-water in late eveningj(8 to 10) and early morning (6 to 8)
-use a product called momentum for all weeds growing in lawn like dandi's
-never scalp your lawn cut at 3.5 to 4 inches
-I would suggest slit seeding after aeration
-For a good stump grinder you are looking at 75 for 4 hour rental. You could take about ten stumps out in that time. Try pro tool rental for all rental needs.
-I would also suggest Columbus Turf on polaris for all fertilizers. Dan used to run Lesco and made it what it was, now that he is gone Lesco( now John Deere Landscapes) just isnt what it used to be.
*** normal pollen count is 1 to 2 million, do to the hard winter pollen counts are over 4 million. So basically even lawns with winterizer and pre-emergent still have some weeds.
