The trick to not having Dandelions in the lawn is to not mow during dandelion season. It lasts about a month. It's easier for the seeds to seed themselves in a mowed lawn.
Year ago I wanted Dandelion in a certain part of my yard, so I didn't mow there thinking I would let them grow undisturbed. LOL, the joke was on me! They grew where I had mowed.

Ohhh.. good to know. We haven’t mowed that area at all. I think when the people moved out, there was still snow on the ground. The lawn behind the house and that back acre had tons of dog poop. I found out the riding lawn mower is not a vacuum š. I need a big rake to drag behind the mower.
