My small lawn still makes me happy

The first picture is my lawn after some proper fert, aeration and overseeding. The second picture is from before, I almost gave up with lawn care. Thanks to this sub and LCN’s smartphone app and videos, I was able to finally get a nice looking lawn.
Sorry it looks a bit trampled, we got a bit of a storm yesterday so it was pretty wet. I also just mowed it for the first time since overseeding 2.5 weeks ago.

Looks great man. You’re doing an awesome job. It’s not about the size, but more about the care and attention you give it. Keep it up!

Thanks! I’ve struggled with watering and fertilizing properly (I only used Milo, and I found out here that was a mistake). Bought some rain gauges to make sure I water right, and wow, what a difference! I was overwatering a lot. The lawn looked terrible in the summer because I didn’t prep it well in the spring. Glad it’s bouncing back now!

Looks good! Which seed did you use?

Got it, thanks!

I want to buy some of this seed because your grass looks amazing!

What kind of tree is that? Just curious.

Yeah, is it a type of maple?

Yep, it’s a Coral Bark Japanese Maple. Really cool tree with bright red bark.

That’s awesome! Thanks for letting me know. Your grass is looking great too!

Why is there a tree in the middle of the road though?

Haha, I get it now! The perspective was throwing me off. That’s pretty neat.

Yeah, I’m always worried about tripping on it when mowing or doing yard work!

I don’t blame you. I have a big mulch bed by my front door and worry my 4-year-old will fall off the edge since he’s always climbing in there.

@Laken
I don’t have kids yet, but I’d definitely have that fear too when I do.

Maybe think about adding a nice little fence around it.
