I shouldn't laugh,, but I couldn't help it. The poor b*gger. Who hasn't done something similar, I know I have, but on a much smaller scale.

Funny as. I wonder if he 'cured' his broadleaf problem.

I had a stupid old fool for a mowing contractor. He said you get one free weed spraying a year. So I showed him what I wanted sprayed and left him to it. Couple of weeks later I had this huge brown patch in the middle of my lawn. So I pointed it out he said the trigger on the sprayer must have jammed open, next time I call I will put some grass seed down. Well that told me how much he knew about lawns, cos this was in June. I now have a different guy.

Even if he had used the right weedkiller it is such a hit and miss job that there would be enough weeds remaining to take it over again.

Poor sod. Looks like it was such a nice lawn. Now what, start again. Hope it gets sorted for him easily and soon. A perfect lawn is so very nice to have and it appears his lawn was really nice beforehand.

He clearly did a horrible job of spraying, didn't get very good coverage at all.

probably one of those bottles you plug the hose into, theres plenty of them out there, supposedly selective, just walk around the lawn targeting the weeds you see very effective result as we can see, lol

While out walking the dog the other day had too laugh. someone has herbicided an overgrown road side area so the word LAZY really stands out! Hardcase.

Those hose end sprays are usually a broadleaf killer like 2,4D and fertiliser that leaves fine grass alone. He probably used glyphosate or amitrole instead.

theres a few handy with a bottle of roundup down this way most of the messages would get me a banning if I repeated them here though - one that won't cause such was one guys front lawn had 'kiddie fiddler' written in with diesel, could still be seen 3 years later - he sold and moved then, the new owner had to dig the entire lawn out to get rid of it
