I water it, mow it, fertilize it. My neighbor doesn't do anything and his looks like a golf course. What am I doing wrong? Is there some secret? His wife probably does it. I should ask him I guess.
Get that soil tested. I spent 3 years doing everything right and my lawn still sucked until I found out my pH was way off. Fixed one thing and boom, green grass.
Could be his soil is just better naturally or maybe he's secretly been caring for it more than you think. Some yards are blessed and some are cursed. I've been thinking about getting a soil test done for mine.
Dude your neighbor probably waters more than you realize. Early morning watering is key. Also what kind of grass seed are you using? I switched to a local variety and saw huge improvement.

How often are you mowing and at what height? I was scalping mine way too short which was killing it. Keeping it at 3 inches changed everything.
