get a hold of penn state university agricultural. They r all master gardeners. I send soul samples to them every other year. They r awesome. My grandfather owned a landscaping company his whole life. I know a fair amount about lawn care. I never had a weed. Lol
things I learned from him over the years were, butcthis applies to my area maybe.
No fescus. Only bluegrass with perennial and annual rye.
Water only at 2-3 am. Never in the heat.
Start fertilizng once soil soil temp is 52 degrees. And bomb it ever 6 weeks not 8. If u have no weeds only feed it. If u have weeds pull em and feed. If u have a lot of weeds u messed up and start weed and feeds. Only use weed and feed when grass is wet so it sticks. With a feed only water it in always! Make sure ur feed had 10 percent iron to get that nuclear green look. lol. Ya most places say use iron only once a year. I have used it 8 treatments per year for 12 years. I take no responsibility if ur dog walks on ur grass and falls over. Lol. No seriously. Iron iron iron. It’s amazing what it does. I feed out to first frost. I only bag. I never ever ever ever not bag. Clippings breed trouble. Ya clippInga keep in moisture but it builds thatch. That’s why u are watering. I have zero thatch. Never had to even thatch. Air the yard every other year. Or every year if u can. Biggest thing I learned as a kid was lots of topsoil. Pure topsoil with mushroom mulch. Drudged swamp soil is the best around here. U got to have at least 6 plus inches to get proper growth. It shows. My yard is 12 plus inches of top soil. My neighbors is like 3. We have the same seed. We follow the same program. That I gave him. My grass always looks healthier. It holds moisture better cause I have more topsoil. The mushroom mulch helps hold moisture.
Thats all all I got for u.
