Thank you! Not many people even talk to their neighbors let alone tend their yard for them.

I applaud your compassion and sense of duty. I hope you're teaching the youngins in the neighborhood this valuable lesson.

That's a lot of thatch by the way. The lawn thanks you too.

Thank you.

I do it because I would hope if the roles were reversed, someone would do the same for my wife.

 

I applaud your compassion as well.

There are some states where it is illegal to put fertilizer or anything else on any lawn other than your own without an applicator's license. I couldn't buy the fertilizer and put it on a relative's lawn (all for free). This is insane, but you need to be aware. I wonder what lobbyist bought this law?

 

The Golden Rule and the Greatest Commandment. Well done.

Yikes! I'll make sure I wear camo pants and shirt so no one sees me working on her lawn.

We keep hearing/reading about love thy neighbor. It's nice to be able to actually do it.

 

That's very kind of you for stepping up and taking care of the larger projects for her, that's a kindness that's not seen often.

I can't help but ask why you would dethatch it when it's beginning it's dormancy. When the lawn is preparing to go to sleep and shutdown you've put an unnecessary large amount of stress on it. I'm not attacking you or anything and her lawn will recover (next spring) but, I'm just bringing it up for discussion and education.

From everything i've seen, it's IDEAL to dethatch/scarify/aerate when the lawn is actively and aggresively growing.

Hi Kicker. No worries - I don't take that as an attack.

Not saying it was the best time but I had a couple of reasons why: 1) I actually had a bit of spare time with work; 2) going to overseed her lawn (don't tell anyone) and there was so much thatch I felt it would never reach soil. Same with any fertilizers laid.

Not saying those are good reasons, but that was my reasoning.

Sounds like good reasoning to me.

 

PGR?

Edit: Doh! I mean PRG.

 

Good for you! Nicely done.

Thank you. Much appreciated.

 

Good guy. The opposite of a lawn snob. Those same people you give a hand to also know when strange people drive up the street or else walk onto your property. As for applying things, if the neighbor does not pay you and you are not doing this as a business, the state is not very interested.

 

Excellent job DFW! You're a great neighbor. I'm liking the Sun Joe results. If I can't find a good used overseeder for cheap this winter, I'm going to buy a Sun Joe.

Thanks Greendoc. Appreciate that.
