Back yard is full of those dandelions but can't spray any weed killer, my dog likes to eat the grass when hes out there.

What product will kill everything? I've got grass growing on the side of house where the drainage rocks are

I've got grass growing in the mulch beds and on the side of the house where I have rocks. Pain in my ass pulling them out all summer long.. decided to pay greendrop for their clearpath vegetation control and hoping it works

This bottle? https://www.homedepot.ca/product/ort...rol/1000410741

i used that last year and it worked a gem


Ok in regards to lawn, should i topdress with compost or a topsoil? My lawn needs some love again this year, i think a lot to do with the shitty prep work done in the new neighboorhoods (watched the neighbours place get ~3" of topsoil before they sodded it). Sick of my lawn taking till september to look good. I had it power rakes/aerated/fertilized/overseeded but really not seeing results i was hoping for... help!?

Your pets should be fine as long as they aren't in the yard while the product (Killex) is wet on the grass. Killex label here: http://allturf.ca/MSDS_Labels/Miscel...llex_Label.pdf. Check the 'Re-Entry' section.

Roundup will kill everything. Just be careful that the drainage doesn't lead to your grass, or you spray when there won't be rain for a few days.

Salt. A bag of water softener salt, or even ice melt.

Nothing will grow there again.

These bastards are starting to take over my lawn. What are they and how do I get rid of them? Would trillion kill them?

I have the exact same issue and this stuff worked for me:

Zero effect to the surrounding lawn, and it's iron based so no nasty chemicals. I believe it's safe for pets and kids.


Or these work really well and don't take long to use, but if you have tons of weeds maybe not so much:

Do you know where the controller is? It should be in your mechanical room. Very simple to use and program. Find the controller and read the manual online. Other then that turn on the water.

Regency is great, but yea super simple

^ +1 I just got a DIY kit from them and they were great to deal wth

No fertilizer added yet, haven't turned sprinklers on yet as its been reasonably rainy here. Biggest pain in ass has been seasonal bluegrass (poa annua) which leaves lighter spots, have to pull by hand. I think it should die off by summer time, but I hate the patchy look this weed leaves (you can see one in bottom right corner, right by the sidewalk)

Nice looking grass.

Healthy grass usually chokes out any sort of weeds.

Yeah i found the controller and tried to tinker with it but it looks pretty intimidating. I'll have a look on YT. I was just worried id mess something up but it sounds like its pretty easy. Thanks guys!

That Lawn is very nice for no fertilizer or watering @nismodrifter . Its crazy that now i care so much about my grass lol Both my neighbors have the greenest lawns ever so im trying to fit in haha. Theres one guy 2 doors down who has that artificial grass and he makes the whole loop look bad when you pull in

Do you live in the east side of Coventry Hills? An old co-worker and his neighbor go over the top obsession with their lawns. Makes any lawns posted here look like garbage.

If they're your neighbors. Abort mission, you won't have the time and energy to dedicate to match those Hank Hills.

Its a Rainbird but not sure the model. I just checked the rainbird site and dont see it anymore so its gotta be pretty old.

Spent some time on the backyard, a few shrubs/grasses and trees to replace still:

My back yard is a disaster, I don't have a fence in the back as there is a private parking pad. And the rabbits come and dig random spots and sit there all day. No idea how to get rid of the rabbits, every time I get a good patch they decide to dig it to the dirt.

Ive had good luck using this, Rabbit Repellent. I spray it around the perimeter of my lawn. Smells pretty funky of mealworm, but keeps them off it.
