Acid stained concrete. Going to talk to the installers to see if we can get it darker. I'm satisfied with the look now but the Mrs. always has something else in mind. [Reply]

I thought that's what it was. I agree with your mrs. darker would look better, especially with the color of the house. [Reply]

Called him up yesterday. Coolest guy ever. He's going to put some solution to take up the sealer and was going to go over it with that color darker. I told him to use that color as a base and go over it with a completely darker color to give it a marble effect. He said he'll do it soon as it stops raining.

Man, it looks pretty right to me... But hey, if they can make it more to her liking, that's cool too. [Reply]

I'm going to buy one soon, 5-6' to put behind a 45h tractor.
I have a 2 bottom plow and am going to add the tiller for personal use and probably till gardens and food plots for some $.
I'm interested in preferred makes/models...to offset or not to offset and shear pins or the slip clutch.
I don't have one but have run a mountain of PTO driven stuff and 3 point mounted stuff.

I put down pre emergent yesterday. Feldman's had it on sale, 18 lb bag of Hummert's DYNA GREEN for $12.99, bought 3 bags, each bag treats 5,400 sq ft. I guess this stuff is recommended by Toby Tobin, 15-0-5, never heard of it. [Reply]

Got a few of those myself, and that purple flower crap, and some clover. I have gone with weed and feed after pre emergent but with all that fertilzer, I don't want to mow twice a week. Going to spot spray for another month or so, then hit it with weed and feed. [Reply]

My plan too.. The fight for a beautiful lawn never ends. And not having a sprinkler system is a regret I've had for a long time.. [Reply]

I went the cheap route a couple of years ago and have pretty good results. Water timer and adjustable contouring sprinkler. Over time the sprinkler hose will get buried by the grass so all you see is the sprinkler which isn't THAT noticeable. I've had pretty satisfying results.
Just invested in 2 water timers with 2 outlets so until I get that in ground system, this will have to work. Will post pics of yard later. [Reply]
