Juggler - I have the same railing (leading down your steps) on our front porch. It’s Trex and has been “weathering” for the past 13 years aka looking like shit. I painted it last week. Looks stellar, if I do say so myself.

We had the deck revamped when we got the pool last year and replaced the trex with fiberon. The trex was probably close to 20 years old (there when we moved in) and it was showing it's age. The fiberon is great but it gets so damn hot. I didn't realize you could paint that stuff? How about a picture, you jackass?
And fme, no it's not a AS. It's a local company. Only issue with that net is there's a hill behind it so we're always getting out to chase my wife's air balls lol

Yes, I have the 9 year old to get out and get the ones we miss. When he says no I just want until he wants to play again and goes to get them

McGruff, has it been like this for a while now? My first thought was voles, but I don’t see tunnels, but if it’s been a while, the tunnels would’ve filled in and you’d be left with something like you have.
It would probably be worth it to consult with a fertilizing/landscaping company who specializes in this, if you haven’t already. They can do a soil test and the cost would be minimal.
I use my sprinklers all the time , fertilized but every year I continue to get these white patches. Any ideas what they are?
Actually, the more I look at it, it does like you can see old tunnels. You may have had voles at some point prior and they dug up the root system underneath your lawn. Sometimes it happens late fall and you may not notice it before growing season ends.
I used to have voles but haven't seen the raised dirt that indicates their presence in a few years. So there's tunnels under my grass and the grass dies because the roots don't have anywhere to go? How do you fix this? Thanks for the feedback.

You typically only have raised dirt with moles, with voles the damage is underneath. I had them really bad at my old house. Just have someone assess the exact chemicals you need and you should be able to get up and running in no time. It honestly will be worth the money. A couple hundred maybe. The white patches are because there is no grass growing underneath (I think). In the fall, septemberish. Have them do an over seeding and that will help replenish root system even more.
Once your lawn gets re-established, peppermint spray is a safe and easy way to keep them away.

I don't have sprinklers. Only guy on my block not to. Sometimes it looks ok. Other times, not.
With voles, they will go away when you remove their feeding source (usually grubs). You can also try to trap them, but it’s expensive and that isn’t an option if you have pets. Peppermint spray is a good deterrent to use on the perimeter of your yard.
Time to rake the leaves! It’s kind of Zen but I also kind of hate it.

I like blowing them all underneath the tree like so. Gonna have to dispose of them soon but I like this look. (The grass, that's another story. I think there's a fungus or something happening down there)
