Where’s your lawn?
A nearby city is all we need as a climate reference — nothing is uploaded.
Task library
Every job, with its numbers.
Ordered by what today allows, so the open work reads first. Each card says when it happens, what it goes down with, and what the soil has to be doing.
Do now
In season and the soil agrees — this is the work in front of you.
Mowing
Do nowThe weekly cut everything else schedules around. Never take more than a third of the blade.
Kill existing grass / weeds
Do nowNon-selective herbicide pass before a full lawn reset. Wait for die-back before seeding.
Core aeration
Do nowPull cores to reduce compaction and open the soil for seed and water.
Overseeding
Do nowThicken an existing tall fescue lawn. Best in fall when soil temps settle into the seeding band.
Full lawn seeding (reset)
Do nowBare-ground or full renovation seeding after kill and prep.
Topsoil / leveling
Do nowAdd or spread soil to fix low spots and improve the seedbed.
Peat moss topdress
Do nowThin organic layer after seeding to hold moisture and improve contact.
Bed & tree mulch
Do nowRefresh landscape beds and tree rings — separate from lawn seeding.
Fertilization
Do nowStarter with new seed; maintenance feed in cool seasons.
Watering (establishment)
Do nowLight, frequent moisture until seedlings root; then deepen.
Fall pre-emergent
Do nowWinter-annual / Poa preventer in late summer. Conflicts with fall overseeding.
Post-emergent — broadleaf weeds
Do nowSpray dandelion, clover, henbit and other broadleaves while they are growing.
Grub control — curative
Do nowTreat when you already see damage: spongy turf, scattered brown, animals digging.
Later in the year
Out of season. Here so you know it exists and when it comes back.
Spring pre-emergent
Crabgrass preventer before seed germinates. Soil temperature — not the calendar — is the cue.
Post-emergent — grassy weeds
Crabgrass and foxtail rescue after they have already germinated.
Grub control — preventative
Season-ahead grub product, before larvae are large enough to chew roots.
