Problem with my lawn?

Question

Need some advice, i had turf laid on my new property last year but this year it hasnt taken too well and there is dark green patches with white flowers. how do i get rid of them and bring my lawn back.

Answer 1

You have a weed problem.  Right now you can use Ortho Weed B Gone Max to spray on the weeds. Next spring put down Scotts with Halts to stop a lot of the weeds from coming up and then kill any existing weeds with Ortho Weed B Gone Max.

Answer 2

The little white flowers are most likely Dutch clover. The reason the grass is greener were they grow is because they fixate nitrogen that fertilizes your lawn in those areas. You don't need to kill them, just fertilize with a high nitrogen fertilizer and they will simply fade away. Or you could use whatever it is you use on your hair. This questions answers read like a commercial for Scott's.  RScott.

Answer 3

keep it watered , as for the leaves which are on broadleaf weeds of some sort, spray with a broadleaf herbicide such as 2-4d and reseed in the fall along with aeration (aeration allows the ground to breathe better and absorb the nutrients form fertilizer)  also topdressing (meaning spreading a thin layer of compost soil best to buy in bulk from a local mulch company, maybe necessary as well, if the soil is too clayish, etc.

important to overseed along with aeration in the fall. and in the early spring spread a high nitrogen fertilizer and preemergent  (very important before last frost)for weeds, and fertilize again in late Spring and treat broadleaf weeds again with a broadleaf weed spray in late Spring (important for this time, because optimum time due to the sap level inside the weeds)

takes time , many times to get  a new lawn established, so wait a few years following this procedure.

Answer 4

lawn feed,and phosphate,or bone meal

Answer 5

water in weed and feed now and in September rake the lawn with a lawn rake to get any moss and dead bits out, aerate the lawn all over with a garden fork and brush grass seed mixed with coarse sand into the lawn filling the holes made with the fork, it won't look pretty in September but who cares, next year your lawn will be the best around!

Answer 6

keep the lawn watered and give it some feed & weed

Answer 7

nice dude that is a week...right now what you would use is Scotts Turf Builder with Summer Guard, and make sure it says that it prevents weeds too...if you use this is will aslo feed your grass, kill little microscopic insects in the grass and preven the grass from burning
