My lawn had crab, bahia, and dallis, but all were able to be pulled up, root and all. Some weeds snap off when you pull, despite your best efforts so you can't pull the root out. But these pull great. Over time, this stuff is all but gone because my St Augustine filled in the gaps they left. These are very satisfying to pull!

I know this video is now considered super old but the knowledge and explanation is priceless. This was bare bones to the point with no BS on what you need to know about Crab Grass. I've been looking for the simplified version and you hit every point. Thank you for making this video.

this is the second video i watched so far and i'm already hooked (i'm new to lawn maintenance). these videos are broken down to where even i can understand and they're also entertaining.

Awesome video. You really made an effort to show us a wide variety of lawn samples. And thanks for the illustrations! Those were a great help!

Dude, your lawn looks so amazing, I thought it was photoshopped for sure. Crazy color!

911 whats your emergency? "There's a guy laying on the sidewalk talking to his phone...keeps pointing at the grass"

By far the best video on a normally pretty dry topic. Loved the simplicity of your explanations on the whiteboard! I'm not a grass fanatic, but might become one if I keep watching your videos. Just bought a ride on mower and aerator, so I'll be watching your videos a little closer. Just trying to work out what I currently have and what to seed over the next 4 weeks! Currently in the process of trying to get rid of Crabgrass as it seems to have taken over this year!

I have been following your tutorials and my lawn has improved very much. There is a Crab Grass invasion though and I am glad you made this video. I will follow instructions for next season. As always, thanks for the guidance.

You have no idea how long I have been wondering what the hell that purple crabgrass was. Thanks for the info!

Thanks, nice video. Great explanation for life cycle of crab grass. I try to use organic lawncare methods and I don't worry too much about weeds. One organic alternative for prevention is to have a thick, healthy lawn that crowds out the crab grass as much as possible. Your lawn is so thick that I do not think you need to put the preemergent.

Why can't I stop watching these videos? 😄 Love it! Keep em coming! Great information! Thank you!

Ahhhhhhhhh I thought I have crab grass but I have clumping fescue grass. You are the first one who has said anything about it! Thank you!

I wish I took as much pride in anything as you take in your lawn…

That was an awesome video! Very informative, thanks!!

Great video Lawn Care Nut. I've been dealing with crab grass and really hate it, your video was both entertaining and helpful. Thank you!

Thanks for the video! Learned a lot. Time to get rid of my crab grass. Love the scenic route you took in Chicago. My hometown. I live in ks now.

Congrats! on selling your home. Look forward to your next journey of "dominating" your new neighbor.

You got me with the music! KZfaq was on autoplay in the background so I didn't consciously click on this video (I was busy doing other chores) but the music brought me back in focus. It was worth it, and I've been educated. The theme music served its purpose! Thanks!

Ohhh my lawn has tons of it...moved in last year and neighboors say previous owners have done nothing with lawn since house was there, since 1974.....it looks somewhat better now since I've been working on it, but now along with dandelions, I've got crabgrass lol.....gotta get me that pre-emergent for next spring, thanks!

This was great. Concise, informative, and not too much fluff. Thanks!

Just found your channel, thanks for the info. Newly interested in lawn care because I can't afford a lawn care guy!

Great Video!

Picking up Sunnyland crabgrass pre emergent at Lowes. I hope it's not too late .Love all your videos. Thank you again.

I just did a lawn renovation. My lawn was 26 yrs old and needed redone. I killed the lawn first with round up. And left it almost a month to make sure it was dead. I then rented a sod cutter and removed the existing sod base and hauled it away. The bare ground was as clean as whistle and no further weeds or grass appeared over the next week. I had a tiller rented as well and tilled up the base so the new seed would have a good base to attach to. I added one tandem load of top soil from the same company that I rented the sod cutter, tiller, and roller from. We spread out the soil and noticed some dead grass pieces in the top soil of which my experienced landscaping help had never seen. We pulled out most of what we could out of this new top soil. The lawn was spread out and rolled a starter fertilizer was laid down and mixed in along with Scott’s turf builder sunny mix/ bluegrass with water tech coating as we are going through a drought. The seed performed as expended and appeared evenly in about 10 days. Everything seemed to be going great. Then all these bladed like weeds stared appearing. I looked it up and it was crab grass. Apparently I purchased contaminated soil. As I now have more weeds than I did with the old lawn. I will have to have this bad soil removed and start over as my goal was to be starting with nice clean slate of grass and not a mess of weeds. My neighbour purchased the same top soil from the same company and he now also has to redo his lawn as he has the exact same crab grass weeds.

Your editing skills are great. I wish workout videos had your skills.

Great video. As a heads up, the Lesco Pre-M isn't available everywhere and I believe Home Depot only sells it in the southern markets. I tried ordering that this past year but they can't deliver it and it isn't in any stores around here. Instead I was able to get a Lesco Pre-M through John Deere landscaping.

Super thanks. I am dealing with this since last year. Never had it in my lawn before.

Thanks for the tips! My crabgrass is rampant right now...just like you said it would be in July. I'll be sure to lay down the pre-emergent this coming spring.

It takes 2:09 before he says anything remotely interesting about crab grass, just jump to that point. Great info after that, however. You're welcome, visitors.

For someone like me who just wants the facts - I have to say this video was entertaining

Nice work. Very informative. Usually don't like videos like this but was sort of entertaining. The music was tolerable too! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Loved the whiteboard explanation. This is the best produced self help lawn video I've scene.

"Oh wait, this is what your grass probably looks like." Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaa. I can't. That was awesome!

Hi Lawn Care Nut Any chance you could elaborate a little more or make a short video on the clumping fescue? I would love to rid my lawn of this. Thanks Steve

Great vid as always. U should sell some of your TTTF to your fans. I would love to use it as a border for my bedroom. My wife would love that idea. Keep those sick vids coming!!

lcn, I'm your neighbor in WI & I think your tips are helpful. thanx

It is a good idea to buy the pre-emergent early in the spring. Once they run out of it at the store, they do not restock it until the following spring. I have had very good luck with Scott's Weed n Feed with HALTS. I buy the 15,000 square feet bag, and only use 1/3 of it at a time, wait two weeks and use another 1/3, wait two weeks and use the final 1/3.

He has permanent stripes! If he did it double wide and towards the street you'd be jealous..

Your video was so fun to watch and I learned about the pesky ass crabgrass. I just bought a home with the worse grass on the block. I'm taking the time to nurture it and can use all the help I can get. It has every weed in the book growing. I wish I could afford to dig it up and start from scratch but I'm going to try my hand at green thumb methods first. Thanks for the videos!

Just got my first home and I want to have the best lawn in the neighborhood which let me to your vids. keep up the good work your super informative and fun to watch. who know lawn care could be so much fun! Thanks

Great videos!! Very fun! I sense you watch Casey Neistat??

Congratulations on the sale of your home LCN. I hope you do not move in next door to me though.

just moved to Knoxville, TN onto .6 acres of weeds!! This was very helpful and entertaining!

🙏 Thanks LCN, you helped me get rid of the crabgrass in my lawn

clumping fescue, man i always thought that was crabgrass

Dude ... U are smokin! Not grass, of course but highly informative.

IN Antigo Wisconsin this year i got crap grass the 2 week in April lol SO I HIT UP KZfaq TO FIND HELP U R My new go to lawn guid/help ty so much

Perfect description from the beguining! How is desiguined, how grow and how can we get rid it, keep it in that way!

Good demonstration ....... thanks for returning to the most basic and best , yet least used ( on KZfaq anyway ) instruction aid - chalkboard

I don't understand why people like to mow their yard so low ,especially tall fescue ,that was the problem in the last yard ,mowing too low ,and not fertilizing well.. Here in California we like to do pre-emergent herbicide in February, because in March is already 70 degrees. I like to do fertilizing 1 mont before the Dimention 270. Is only a opinion.

Obviously this is a 3 year old video, but YT brought me here... I saw the earlier clips of Chicago and heard NWI and got all excited, as a fellow NWIndianan, just to find out your home sold. Lol. Love your videos!

Good explanation of the life cycle. If you see some pull it out at the root by hand, keep a thicker lawn.

Thanks. Very informative.....but that music HAS to go!

this dude takes his lawn way 2 serious. lol

Fellow Hoosier here. Love the channel thanks so much

I got a real laugh out of the bonus footage. I have crab grass galore! Thanks for letting me know it was an annual..

Learn to get to the point dude

don't put chemicals on your lawn.

Love your videos, informative and easy to listen to. Subscribed!

Amazing video man, very uplifting fresh and educational, thanks.

Too much useless dialog. Get to the point

just found your channel! I am learning so much! thank you!!!

Crabgrass always seem to effect my dad's lawn and not our neighbors. I friggin' hate crab grass with a passion. You mow your lawn and by that SAME NIGHT, you can see that the crabgrass is already taller than the surrounding area. Thank you very much for this video.

Hey Allyn, thanks for all your useful lawn tips!!! I'm gonna get that crabgrass post emergent, just wondering what's a good sprayer to use. What would you recommend? I'm new to this but you inspire me too get out there tackle it man!! Thanks again!!

Very informative video, the classroom portion and editing were very amusing and kept my interest.Well done video thank you...

Always with the quality content sir👏🏽👏🏽

The Perrier reference was cool. I reward myself the same way after mowing the lawn on a hot day.

OMG I was literally just in Chicago visiting family and I recognized all the places you showed in the downtown clip!!

You explain things so well! Thank you.

This video,was so helpful,Sir. Thx you so much.

This was a great video - learned a lot of useful information. Thanks!

Great video ! Make sure you post video of your new lawn. Can`t wait to see that. Keep it up !

Ok Allyn, I've lived in Highland Park for a year, grew up in Vegas and now am in South Texas. South Texas near the coast is by far the most uncomfortable HEAT I have ever felt. No complaining sir.. hehe

You my friend need your own tv show.... great video clear and entertaining!

Love these vids. Trying to learn the lawn care, and I would like to see the name of the weeds pop up. Nice to see the name written out when trying to digest all this new data. I thought you were saying 'pe-skyoo', took me a couple of tries and got the proper Fescue.

this was great!!!!! informative and fun like the best teacher you can remember...

You are the grass doctor! very informative video.....thanks!

Good stuff! Didn't know much at all about that type of grass. And congrats bro, on selling your home!!!!

Great video. Thank you. Your lawn is absolutely beautiful. Trying to get that on Long Island.

Great video and very detail with your presentation which was very helpful. I just subscribed your channel.

Loved the editing and music, great info! Any tips to keep a 50/50 mix lawn of bluegrass / tall fescue green during 100 degree dry west desert heat? I have sandy soil, it is better to water every day at 50% or every other day at 100%? Just curious

I live in Houston and moved into my house about 2 years ago. Every year I manually get rid of these things, and every year they come back. The previous owner foreclosed on it and let the yard go, so I've been doing my best to repair it but it's always a battle. It goes from 20-30 degrees in Jan-Feb straight to 70-80 degrees in Feb-Mar. Hadn't heard of using a pre-emergent until this year when it was too late - had just been doing Scott's Weed 'n Feed bi-annually. Hopefully next year I can get it done right and have some semblance of a lawn.

You are a lawn care genious we cut it and you tell us how to grow it and to.......wait for it........DOMINATE WITH GREEN LUSCIOUSNESS! as always you make learning about turf management fun AS HELL!

I have almost 2 acres of lawn and I just keep my eyes open for crab grass while I mow with my walk behind mower. Once I determine where I have issues I take my heavy claw garden digging tool and dig it out roots and everything and toss them in my wheelbarrow. When I get a full load I dump them in the woods behind my home. I like to sprinkle some grass seed into the bare spots left by the weeds to help fill in those areas afterwards. It’s a lot of work but it keeps the amount of weeds low from year to year and I’m not dumping chemicals on my lawn.

LCN, did I screw up or what? I had an acre of trees, stumps and brush cleared, leveled the soil out as much as possible, started a new lawn seed growth going and I think the mold from last winter killed the lawn. So I started over, but now the killer crab grass and weeds has dominated the lawn. Didn't know I was mowing the seed back into the lawn. Lesson learned. I'll give it a go this time as to controlling the crab grass and get this lawn going again. Much appreciated on the experience you share with us. Next time I'll bag the seed / grass cut and dump it somewhere. MAN, I hate crab grass. Didn't know about the seed till now.

A wealth of information. Nice job!

Thanks for the great information!

Love your video editing and humor/attitude great vid

I'm glad I came across this video. I always wondered where the f crabgrass came from and why my yard is full of it lol.

Awesome content! subbed. Keep dominating your neighbors.

I know this is a 5 year old video, but I came for Crab grass info and saw downtown Chicago.. Then heard NW IN and then saw an area that looks very familiar! Morse Place! lol I had a buddy that lived down the street. I live in Hammond. Weird Take care!

Thanks for the advice as far how Drive XLR8 works. It make sense now, the crabgrass is turning like an orange color. I thought for a minute that Drive herbicide was not doing it's job.

I gotta tell ya Mr.Lawn Care Nut you should create a classic section for this crab grass info; Near perfect delivery (language and board work.) Is there more to crabgrass that you could and probably have talked about? But of course. Trust me this is a gem.Warren at the start of the Boston Marathon in Hopkinton.

Crabgrass is the bane of my existence. Great informative video. I have a thick lawn & the lawn care company came out March 31 in central Ohio. Why am I still seeing crabgrass in my yard? It's exasperating!

Yo grass man, you got the best background music it is Jammin.. Great grass knolage, verry helpful👍

Congrats! Hopefully you move to Arizona. You're able to keep grass all year around.

Very helpful video thanks a lot oh, by the way the beats are awesome

Great video!!

Good information, unless you live in a warm climate like Florida where we don't get winter or temp below 60 degrees

Great video bud. Lots of good info!!
