Several neighbors have had some major lawn troubles lately, because their lawn company mistakenly applied grass killer instead of fertilizer. Whoops. Anyway, I took some pictures of one of the houses in town because it was just so incredible to see, first, how they scraped off all the existing lawn, right up to all the flower beds, and then brought in piles and piles and piles of sod. This was probably an acre lot. Just think about trying to water that lawn. Fortunately, I think they had an underground irrigation system. My other neighbor across the street does not, however, and she has been dragging sprinklers back and forth until she couldn't take it anymore, and now they are sending irrigation trucks every other day or so, and flooding the lawn. What a disaster. I have heard they fired the guy, no surprise there.
How sad for them, but maybe they will think twice about adding fertilizers, which are not good for the water table. It sounds like it's really hot in your area but your yard looks great. Have a great day with the Garden Tour...I am sure yours will get lots of ooohs and ahhhs. Biff
