We're in an irregular and extended drought in the area, but the lawn and gardens are still doing amazingly well. I haven't irrigated the lawn since the Fourth of July (although, of course, the gardens require water regularly).
If you click on the blurry (sorry about that; PhotoBucket doesn't do a good job with thumbs) image below, you can enlarge it. Clicking on that resulting larger image will show you an even larger one!
Here's the standard lawn shot:
I found this amusing:
Here's a shot of the back garden:
And a bonus image--a new Gaillardia just sending its first bloom. There are plenty more where that came from.

Good lord your neighbor's yard makes yours look even better!
That's amazing. I haven't watered since July 3, but my lawn isn't doing nearly that well. Even the areas that are dominated by native grasses are showing at least some stress.
Your yard looks great.I am somewhat new to organics and i have read alot about organic and have tried different kind but nothing has shown results like yours.Which it maybe that i am not doing it correct. I have contact someone local to the Harrisburg NC area and they are saying that i need to apply seven applications of there liquid fertilizer etc etc. They cannot produce any pictures of results using there product so i am concerned it is a scam.If you do not mind can you provide me with some help. I want to use organics but not having alot of luck and would like to make my lawn look the best possible. Just a run down of the lawn is is fescue and i have applied Ringer Restore fertilizer about 4 times over the last 3 years and applied 4 yards of compost. The lawn is only about 4000sq.
Thank you
Seven apps of liquid fertilizer sounds ridiculous--since you have a login, post the question to the forums. There are plenty of ways to do this cheaply (and more effectively), and we can certainly find somebody in NC with your grass type to answer (and if not, the general instructions will do fine).
But as a base answer, just say no to the liquids. They tend to be useless.
