Sky Cloud Plant Tree Land lot

After a long winter it’s time to get back after it. My turf came out of winter really well. Had a little time last night so cut the side yard with the Hudson Star. Will get the rest of the yard done this weekend. Also planning on planting a putting green with 007 here in a few weeks.

Thanks....This winter we had a lot of snow, so we had snow cover up until about 2 weeks ago. Temperatures were colder than usual for the most part.

Got everything cleaned up and mowed for the first time this year. Really happy coming out of winter with where things are at.

Is this heaven? No...it’s Rod Hartman’s yard

If you think your yard looks good, you haven't met Rod Hartman

It was a pretty good time…we live out in an area outside of town a few miles…now all kinds of people are driving by and stopping to check things out.

Hahaha! How does it feel to be the Conner Ward of your area getting a bunch of lookie-loos?

There have been quite a few people that have stopped by in the last few days. It's kind of fun talking to them all about what I do and why it looks the way it does.

Started on the green last weekend. 30’x30’ dug it all out, drain tile, and a lot of rootzone mix. Will continue grading and compacting this week and hopefully seed with 007 on Sunday.

I'm always amazed at how much your stipes pop. Do you burn them in with several passes or are you just fortunate with your cultivar and it just likes to show off?

I usually mow every other day and just alternate which way I go. On the weekends I usually do a double cut. After a month or so I’ll try to change up the patterns.
