    GD, that's a fantastic new property you have there. It will be great for you and your family, but for a lawn care afficianado it looks a bit of a nightmare. Leaves, acorns, lack of sunlight, and sketchy soil make for a real challenge.

    Ahh, a true New England lawn. Hard mode! It will be interesting to see how you tackle the many negative variables in this lawn such as shade, acorns, pine needles/acidic soil. Many youtubers are on perfect little cookie cutter cul-de-sac lots with very little weed pressure, but for many of us this is realty. I'm looking forward to witness the ultimate transformation.

    You could remove a bunch of the trees and it wouldn't affect the wooded feel of the property. It will increase airflow and the remaining trees will grow healthier. If you are planning tree removals, now would be the time where you can get a bucket truck in there and don't care about ruts in lawn. Very nice lot, can't wait to see the progress.

      Yeah I just need to figure out where the shade will be and which trees are dead and need to come down

    i have the same blower, same amount of leaves, same amount of acorns, and it took me years to finally figure out that if i put on my crappy lawn mower blades and mulch everything, it makes it faster and easier to blow everything off the lawn and not have a giant pile of leaves. welcome back to UA-cam!

    • @GrassDaddy
      @GrassDaddy  3 роки тому

      Yeah the initial cleanup I couldn't do that as there were too many. It mulched it into dust that I had to shovel up 😂 but going forward I will be mulching those leaves up!

    You have a lot of work to do. It's going to be beautiful when it's finally done.
    My yard is as not big as yours, but I do have several oak trees and pecan trees and getting everything off the lawn is the first thing to do every spring.

    I have red max also. I purchased a echo 8010 last fall. Wow it puts the red max to shame. Now echo came out with a 9010.

    Look forward to seeing how you transform your new lawn and especially how you deal with potential tree root issues which is a frustration of mine.
    what state are you in and grass type are you going with?
