Best Lawn in the Neighborhood
Nothing is better than a beer in one hand, and a sprayer in the other…the only problem is I need one for the front lawn and one for the back lawn!

Lawn Improvement
My lawn looks good so far this year. Just some bad patches in the back (which only I see!). There is improvement from last year. Not too many weeds this year. Any time I have asked for help, I've gotten a rapid response (within a day). Even identification of some weeds. Please keep up the good work!
