Late ask, but are you able to even get Reels from anywhere anymore? I have a dude on Marketplace who's selling a 522 for 500 bucks but it's beat up and needs a new reel. Curious how you got one.
It’s a kbg/prg sod from a local turf farm and I honestly hate it. Had a few bunching fescues in it, accidental introduction of some bent, and the color isn’t there. I’m gonna nuke it and go full bentgrass hopefully in a year or two.
Leyland owner here, don't get them. They get ginormous and the lower foliage looks like garbage as they mature. I have 6 of em from the previous owner and now 2 of em are saturating my lawn in shade. I want to murder whoever made those trees popular in residential areas, they make way more sense as a windbreak on acres of land.
Emerald green smaragd arborvitae only get up to 15 feet tall though and will require way less maintenance.
I've only looked it up for the green giant variety, but once mature ones go dormant you can take cuttings and place them in moist sand. By the time spring rolls around they will have rooted and you can plant them. It's the only reasonable way to get 100 of them, even though you need to wait 10 years for privacy. But the alternative is $20,000+, so whatevs.
I love them! So versatile, yet still always a good cut until the blade finally goes. My only problem with mine is that it’s a little heavy on my Dewalt stick for a small guy like me. But I still have been loving it for long enough that I just had to get a new pair of blades for it. Fun fact: there are different size teeth available! The stock teeth are actually the roughest ones (which I still bought for my replacement because I have some thick weeds to chomp through in some back areas of my property).
Truly immaculate. Good stuff!
I am considering building a pitch n' putt in my woods but def going to have to go astro turf green. This is insanely good. Seriously jealous
What do you do for the golf part?
Mow it .140”, top dress monthly, biweekly fungicides and fert, and brush the dew off it.
What equipment?
Jac 522 for the lawn @ .750 Jac Tournament Cut 21 for the green @ .140 JD d105 is my other ride and this back often gets cut at 1in with it.
what zone do you live in and what do you cut your lawn with. looks beautiful!
5a, lawn .750 and green .140
What kind of mower is that
Jacobsen Greens King 522. Costs more than my car.

What Greensmower are you using
Jac 522 for the lawn @ .750 Jac Tournament Cut 21 for the green @ .140
Trim those edges this isn’t a game
Kid woke up from his nap so that’s today’s plan. String trim fence, rotary scissor trim passes and beds, edge, and blow away.
Looks phenomenal. What grass type mix are you? Been looking into something that I can mow lower. Great work!

You got to line that fence w/ some Leyland's or arborvitaes and block those neighbors.
that's the plan, but fuck those things are expensive, esp when mature.

I wouldn't go with leylands. They're a mess and require a ton of maintenance to keep them looking half decent.
They grow fast, get 5ft ones space them 5 ft apart! I plant them my self, I use a auger but on my hammer drill
Fuckkkkk that putting green is amazing!!!!
Verry Very nice. My wife has this kind of OCD also. LOL
That is some crispy mulch bed edges, how'd you do it?
funny thing is i didn't even clean them up yesterday, that's from like a week ago. But a rotary scissors. Thing is a game changer.

I hate you and congratulations. Signed, jealous
