We have a squirrel and rabbit problem where I live, and I’m looking for a pesticide strong enough to kill them on sight, also one that has a built in herbicide to take care of the maple saplings because they keep popping up faster than I can pull them out.

any help would be appreciated.

I am moving out-of-town and will be leasing my house for at least a year. I would like a lawn care service to take care of my grass while I am away. I received an add from Scotts, but they only mention things like fertilization, weed control, and overseeding. So I am assuming I would be responsible to water the lawn regularly myself. I am definitely not leaving that in the hands of my leasees.

Do I have to find and pay a separate service to take care of the watering or should a lawn care service like Scotts have that included? Does such a watering service even exist?
Keep in mind that the leasees would be responsible for the water bill, so using water from my house would cost them money. So this would have to be some kind of water service similar to a pool water service. Separated water from a truck, not the house.

We spread it out, sprinkled it with sand & cement topping mix, sprayed it down well with a garden hose and it just didn’t work at all. We are trying to do that patio that looks like rocks but is held together by concrete. HELP!!!!!!! Thanks
Wow my poor husband. He unloaded all these rocks and I helped spread them. They are all out there and I am hoping there is something to pour over them. I hate to tell him they have to be dug back up. YIKES Thanks for all the help so far

OK, I’m new to lawn care. Our new lawn was seeded Oct 2007. We are in S. DE and have very sandy soil. This spring we fertilized (after 4 3.5” cuttings) using a fertilizer with broad leaf weed killer. Now it is time to put on a Summer fertilizer. We also want to add lime because the pH is 6.0 and a lawn bug killer. Can we add all 3 things at the same time?

If you could let me know how long you have had it. If you have one you don’t like let me know that too.

I want to work for a lawn care company but my friend said you have to be 18 to operate a commercial grade zero turn mower as a job. Is this true. By the way I am 16 and have a drivers license.

I received a letter from the water company alerting me that my water consumption has gone up 300% since the last reading and my bill is 0.00. My water bill is usually under .00. I checked all the toilets for leaks and that is not a problem. I have no water draining in my house and the faucets outside are all off. My neighbor put in a shed last fall and drove over the sprinkle system. In the spring, I had a sprinkle company come out and check the system when I turned it on this spring and he said it was all OK. So, the large bill came when the sprinkle system went on. It usually is a bit higher but not 0.00. (lived here 15 years). No neighbor hood pools that were filled with my garden hose. I have turned off the sprinkle system and am afraid to turn it back on. Help, what should I do and where could this leak be? I do have a water softener…..any suggestions?
I have really nice neighbors and live in a good neighborhood. I don’t think anyone is stealing. I do have an area in the lawn that is soggy and not drying up like the rest of the lawn.
I did the dye test in the toilets: instilled a few gtts of food color in the tanks and non of it seeped into the toilets after 1 or 2 hours. So, toilets are all OK. I will call a plumber out! thanks for all these suggestions! I was clue-less as to the next steps to take.

Hi, I’m Stephen with Cutters Lawn Care. I just thought I would post this to ask you if I could give you a bid on your lawn maintanence.

To make a long story short, our well pump went bad. To get running water until it could be replaced, my landlord ran a garden hose from my neighbor’s house into our house, and hooked it up behind the washer where the water supply is (I’m not sure which nozzle he used, but I think it was the one for hot water.) Everything is fixed now, but when I do laundry the cold water won’t shut off…the machine starts to agitate and the cold water keeps running. I have to turn it off at the wall. The hot water is fine though. Does anyone know why this could be happening?

I have an American Plum (Prunus americanus) that was about six feet tall this summer, a volunteer that I fell in love with and was culturing. Then the idiot lawn service whacked it off about four inches from the ground while trimming broken branches after a storm–it wasn’t broken, he apparently just felt like cutting it down (SO fired). I have kept watering the stump, and today finally noticed brilliant red leaves sprouting from the stump. Now how do I train this tree so it will regain a tree-like shape and not end up with umpteen messy bush-like stems?
