Greetings,

New member but long time lawn tinkerer.

I have gone through a multi-year renovation project in the hope of establishing a fine bladed lawn made up of Fine Fescue and Colonial Bentgrass. I am not doing anything this year except watching it grow so I may not be around much but I always like to see what others are working on.

Regards

I recognize this property. Welcome to TLF.

Are those the same maples in pots?

Yes, they are the same, original maples.

Not the best time to attempt pictures in harsh, midday sun but I felt compelled to get a picture of my stripes in honor of our fallen stars.

Thank you.

Haven't measured but would guess about 1/2 inch.

Thanks

@PNW_George welcome to TLF! Glad you found us!

Looking beautiful as always @PNW_George! Glad you found TLF as well! Your lawn was always an inspiration for me, and something I hope to eventually achieve. I look forward to seeing you here and even more pictures of that beautiful yard!

One of the first lawns that I've seen that has made me say "Ohhhh, woooow!" in an introductory post. :thumbup: Welcome to TLF!

Hey, you made it here!

Nice pics of a nice looking lawn! It's basically a golf course, only better.

How's the photography going? I just ordered a 16/2.8 fisheye, as well as a battery backpack sprayer, and am looking forward to both!

A hearty welcome @PNW_George. Magnificent looking lawn. Both you and your mower's reputation came before you. I'm interested how you came about a Dennis in the PNW.

Thank you,

I had a 16+ year old Locke CL 125 that started having issues with no local service options so I started looking for a replacement.

I'm a big soccer fan and came to learn the Dennis G860 was used on many of the Premier League pitches and had been selected to maintain the 2014 World Cup fields.

I found a US distributor and came to find they had a demo G860 available so I bought it and had it shipped to me. It came with a scarifier cartridge that is a big help when maintaining a fine fescue stand.

With a 34 inch reel it is a bit larger than I would have purchased without a demo deal but it has worked flawlessly. Deal is relative; this is a spendy beast.

Dennis has seemed to grow their presence a little since I purchased mine in 2014.

Hi, been taking a bit of a sabbatical from my sports photography. It started to become a bit of a grind and I had reached all but one of my goals. I need to start it up again but likely on more normal subjects, not on the sidelines anymore unless my kids get on the stick and give me some grandkids.

I still have all the toys though.

Regards,

incredible landscape George!

I will try and post some images from my progression as I transitioned from a typical northern mix to a fine bladed stand.

This is a couple years old. Just like ball parks, the lighting needs to be right to capture the stripes.

Seattle Weather has been awesome; a few iPhone snaps from my back patio.

Wow, that ain't fair. Here I'm dealing with 96F.

Here is a picture of one of my heavy top dressing, overseeding seasons (2015). The lower lawn was a bit boggy, not bad but the sand has helped a lot. The garden has filled in a lot since then.
