These expansion joints aren’t just cracks and gaps… They’re invitations for weeds, water, and shifting slabs. I packed this one with play sand and a backer rod to get the depth right, then sealed it up with Sika self-leveling polyurethane and topped it off with a light layer of sand for a subtle finish. It’s a simple fix now that can save frustration later. Everything I used is linked in the bio if you’re ready to knock out a few cracks of your own. #DIYProjects #SidewalkRepair #fixedit

Busted out the reel mower today but had to give it a little tune up before mowing. This thing works great but you gotta put a little muscle behind it when the grass is this thick! #ReelMower #CuttingGrass #Lawncare

At least this @Landzie tool actually works. I swear these dandelions are popping up everywhere overnight. #lawncare #dandelions #landzie #ryobi

The Devilstrip is thicc right now you guys #mowing #grass #DIYlawncare #Ryobi #KujoYardwear

Not a fan of dandelions in my lawn but this @Landzie tool works great! Link in bio to check it out. #dandelions #lawncare

Clover is finally on the ropes… I asked what actually works, got a ton of replies, and SpeedZone was the overwhelming consensus. This stuff is a four-way herbicide that hits clover, dandelions, and a bunch of other broadleaf weeds! It starts working fast with full results in a couple weeks. Check the link in my bio if you want to check it out! #lawncare #Speedzone #weedcontrol #clover #dandelions #staygreen

Been a long time coming but I’m finally laying my first stripes of the 2025 lawn season! @RYOBI Tools USA #stripes #lawncare #ryobi #lawnstryper #lawnmower #greengrass

Replying to @mirahati Sorry for the confusion but I do keep the streets clean after mowing. Just don’t always show the whole process. #LawnDad #DIY #Lawncare

Lawn mowing and lawn striping are two different things. Tire tracks or mower lines are not the same as throwing down some lawn stripes. @RYOBI Tools USA makes it easy with their lawn roller! #lawnstripes #mowing

Soon as I get my new lawnmower, the weather turns on me… At least the grass is getting a free drink! #ryobi #lawnmower @RYOBI Tools USA

Zero emission reel mowing on a random Tuesday night! Got my mow in before the massive rain siren storms rolling thru Missouri… #ReelMower #LawnDad #CuttingGrass #Lawncare

Try this first before it starts getting really hot… The @Landzie fork aerator makes it easy. My bio has all the details and don’t forget about sprinklers if you’re not getting enough rain. #lawncare #landzie #aerator

Hopefully it doesn’t rain TOO MUCH tomorrow. Throwing down another round of my new Iron Drip from @Andersons Lawn that will be coming out later this spring! #IRONdrip #greengrass #DIYlawncare

Who says you canno can’t lawn after dark?! Neighbors proble probably think I’m crazy but when rain is on the way you got gotta take advantage! #diylawncare #fertilizer #greengrass @RYOBI Tools USA

Grass is growing so fast I decided to add a growth regulator to my fertilizer app today. Trying to direct that energy down to the roots. Maybe be better prepared to tolerate summer heat stress. Check out @Andersons Lawn and their new CORE fertilizers. You have a chance to win $$ with each bag!! #lawncare

Was expecting more spring showers by now. Thought I could make till June before turning my @Irrigreen sprinklers on for the season. Don’t want to fall behind watering the grass so I’ll start with once a week for now. #lawncare #irrigation #sprinklers #DIY #staygreen

Scraped it, stuffed it, sealed it. Finally got around to taking care of my crack. The sidewalk has been bothering me for years, and I finally tackled (some of) it today. The expansion joints are separating in some areas, and it was only going to get worse. One spot is already going through tectonic shifts, creating a plateau in the sidewalk! So I cleaned them out, filled the gaps with sand, and sealed everything up with a self-leveling polyurethane sealant. Hopefully I didn’t mess this up and this keeps water from grime under the concrete and weeds from growing in my cracks!! #DIYProjects #SidewalkRepair #HomeMaintenance #LawnDad #DIYProjects

Time to prepare for the summer heat stress that’s coming!! When that summer heat fully kicks in, even a healthy lawn can go downhill fast if you’re not adjusting your approach. But you don’t need to overthink it or throw money at it. Don’t wait until it’s too late!! I’m breaking down three simple things you can do right now to help your lawn stay green and resilient through the summer stress. Raise that mower deck, water smart, and sharpen those blades. Stick to the basics, no fancy products, just smart lawn care. #LawnTips #DIYlawncare #Summer #education #MowTall #WaterSmart #LawnDad #StayGreen

Replying to @Brody Leo Ramos A little evening walkabout to see how the Speedzone herbicide did with the clover and other broadleafs taking up residence in my lawn. #DIY #lawncare
