I managed a small segment of business for over 5 years and I have been in marketing for over 2 years. I am a serial killer of weeds, bugs, and diseases.

Gonna win 'em all!

Does the hole actually go into the ground for passage? Squirrels have been tearing up my yard and garden with tiny holes like that, just a couple inches deep but no actual tunnel.....I'm assuming they think they have buried an acorn there and went to go find it?

We have drainage problems in our back yard, and water tends to just pool in the SE corner for days after a rain. I'm not 100% sure why that is, since, theoretically, it slopes a bit and should flow down to the creek at the end of the street, but whatever.

We called out a landscaper yesterday to give us a quote on a French drain, and holy crap, it's going to cost like $5000 dollars. Granted, it's going to be a big one, since it has to run the entire length of our back yard and then back in a little bit due to the drainage, but that still feels really high. He quoted it for 130 feet.

Anyone do a French drain for these sorts of things, and how much did you pay for it?

Also, that is a squirrel. I have like a hundred of those things in my front yard.

I also had a squirrel nest in one of my gutters. We got that taken care of, but man, squirrels really like to just screw with all of you crap.

Did you put your fertilizer with crabgrass preventer down between the 2nd and 3rd mowing?

im only going to use the scotts turf builder weednfeed pellet stuff in the future. its dominant, and way easier than spraying stuff (applied after first mowing

)

Mr Bread · « **Reply #497 on:** April 30, 2015, 03:37:57 PM »

I will never mow my own lawn.

star seed 7 · « **Reply #498 on:** April 30, 2015, 07:08:30 PM »

bought a lawnmower yesterday. grass doesn't need mowed for a few days tho.

also 5k for a french drain sounds like you're getting super ripped off

Tobias · « **Reply #499 on:** April 30, 2015, 07:14:54 PM »

5k for a rock ditch does seem sucky
