BGOL help a brotha out. Cut the yard for the 1st time this year and my back yard is fucked up. A bunch of soft patches and holes. Some type of rodent has ruined my yard. How can I get rid of these shits.
Have to find out what they are first. I'd set up a little cheap night vision camera to record whats coming and going from that spot. Once you know what you're dealing with you'll know how to deal with it.

I went nuts with the grass and landscaping this year. Grass looks like lush green carpet though. I’ve learned that I stead of using weed killers give your grass the nutrients and nitrogen it needs.
planted too many things to list. My wife says we grow crops in our 3 gardens. We grow a lot of fruitsvegetables and herbs.
our lawn used to look so bad. I needed time to work on it. The first couple years after you buy a house you’re focused on the inside.
I personally moved 10 cubic yards of compost around the yard and gardens. Tilled. Multiple milorganite passes. Weed and feeds. Pressure washes
Built a fire pit area with the pebbles. Tomato plants fragrant flowers. 2 11-foot umbrellas. 1 cantilever.
Good workouts.

Why not get a landscaper?
I have a landscaper. It takes 5 guys more than an hour to cut my lawn. This is on top of what they do. Once again, it's a great workout.
Nothing like zenning out with a spliff in the evening.
Its a pain in the ass trying to keep my lawn green during this drought in Houston. I got St. Augustine grass. My neighbors to the right dont do shit to they grass

What are you using to green up the lawn? I got a July 4th face off with a couple of neighbors on my street. I put down some Flagship Fertilizer then added some Ironite and I’m watering every other day. So far I’m looking good. I’m looking at one more application of Ironite a week before the 4th and I should be good.
Milorganite and some scott’s products. Better safe than sorry
I am looking to level my lawn, every estimate for top soil and seeds is over 2k
If you got the time and space (to store the top soil) you can look at you tube vids on how to level and reseed.
I use lesco 15-5-10 fertilizer and Milogranite. Use those and you won't even need ironite. Just make sure you water regularly to get full results.

i use organic fertilizer and throw it down heavy
NICE!
I see where the property line is with your neighbor
You have the right height for a greener, stronger lawn.
They don't ask for tips from you?

Man I dont even talk to those bastards we got into twice when they first moved in.
We moved in May 2021, it rained most of that summet, I think I only had to water my grass once at the end of August.
Summer 2022 was the exact opposite, so I had to deep water 2 times a week minimum just to keep my grass healthy. Then it rained crazy most of August.
The catch is that they decided to get a sprinkler system installed in August after not giving a shit about their grass for 2 summers. These dumb mofos would run the sprinklers at the same time it was raining. Which ended up fucking up the grass side of the house because it was over watered and muddy. So i told their lawn msn when I saw him to tell them to stop running the sprinklers on the side too much.
So this spring I had to fix that side of the lawn with compost and sand to build it back up which worked. It should be fully thickened in a few weeks.
I have my mower set to 4 inches since St augustine likes to be cut high plus it chokes out the weeds. My neighbor across the street asks me for lawn tips and i told him fertilizer(milorganite and Lesco 15-5-10 alternating every 5 to 6 weeks during growing season) and deep watering 1 or twice a week.

I have a landscaper still but also cut my grass once a week for a workout.
If I can walk with no purpose, I can walk with purpose behind my lawnmower.
Healthy St. Augustine grass will choke out the crabgrass without you having to put stuff down. Next year to prevent crabgrass and weeds just throw some pre emergent down around late Feb to early march. I dont put any type of weed killer on my lawn. Weeds pop around April and bu mid may my grass chokes the weeds out.
Deep watering once or twice a week and mow high and often.
