Looks great. I feel late June and early July is when centipede really comes into its own.

Thanks I appreciate it. I would agree with that statement about the timeframe. Centipede is always a little lighter (unless spraying iron weekly) than I would like in order for it to stand out even more from the rest of the neighborhood. But I'm the only one, probably in the county, that is reel mowing and sometimes I feel like the only one that takes pride in their property at that, so it's definitely standing out. Zoom in and look at the yard beside mine. No it's not a foreclosure!!

Got it looking about as good as it'll get for the moment. I raised the HOC from the 4th notch to the 3rd on the CT.

Also the owner of the property to the right of mine has just contacted me wanting me to take on his lawn!! I agreed and will def start a new thread on that lawn!! Pretty anxious to get it going even though my work is definitely cut out for me.

My lawn is looking great and this year I've done less than usual to it! Either that's the key or I've finally got it in maintenance mode rather than renovation mode. I've only spot sprayed MSM maybe three times but have continued to spray Bifen 7.9% once a month. The once daily Ga rain has also definitely helped!

Looks great dude. I feel you on the maintenance part of it. Other than scheduled mowing and irrigation, once you've got the foundation going, maintenance needs of centipede are superior compared to other warm turf grass types. As much as I love Bermuda, I can't commit the time that it needs vs centipede

Thanks, and I agree 100%.

So…. I was going to try to go for the fairway look and I cut a small circle at .43. The circle looked great, like 100% astroturf (or like a lot of the reel guys on the site). With that being said I decided to put the grass catcher on and take it all off! In one pass I would fill the catcher up so it ended up being quite the task. Scalped in a few spots but on the next mow when I raise it up to the next notch I'm expecting great results.

Finally feeling better as my house took its turn battling Covid. Still mowed but it was more like a maintenance hurry up and get back to laying in the floor covered up. Anyway, thankfully everyone is back to normal and lawn didn't take a hit. Just received some Greene Effect in the mail, took a "spill" getting here but Yard Mastery has already apologized and they are going to make it right. Will def take some before and after photos as this is the first time applying it.

Sprayed 7-0-0 Greene Effect for the first time the other day. The two pictures are 4 days apart, overall happy with the product and price.

It's from a different angle but this is that small strip I'm always fighting with. Huge difference one year can make. I also edged where the grass meets the street. It was hard to do because the street wasn't poured in an exact straight line. So I either had to keep moving back into the grass to keep it straight or just run the edger blade down into the asphalt to make it straight without going 6 inches or more into my yard. I need a new blade to say the least but it looks good.

Mission accomplished!! I would say it was a successful season.

Following. Centipede grass with a newly purchased used reel mower here.

Installed some permanent Christmas lights and controller.

Starting to green up! So far this year I have only put down my pre-e, Humic, and scalped.

Looking at this journal is so inspiring. I recently purchased a house that has centipede. My old house had zoysia so I was a little disappointed…..until now. Thanks for sharing!!!

Glad I can help. PM me with any questions. I've learned a lot throughout my journey.

Lawn is looking pretty good, but with the heat and rain it'll look even better soon. Installed two Giraffe hose reels, so far I'm happy with them.
