I have done 2 applications of tenacity this season, and weeds are down 50%. I'm thinking some granular or maybe a 3rd dose before the frost, and maybe by year 3 all will be well. Like you said, its a process! Great video.

Watering did not seem to help. Did all other fert and insect control. Right now all this dry and hot hot days its mostly going to sleep. I have to either hand water or sprinklers.

Hello Ryan, and nice to meet you. I've been watching a few of your videos and I think you're doing a great job. I'm not at all educated in lawn care but I want to be, and I also don't have all the tools that you use. I live in NC (I have sandy soil) and I'm a homeowner who's inspired to have a nice-looking lawn but I really don't know how to but I do the best with what I know or think I know. I try very hard but with little to no real results. I don't know anything about what kind or type of chemicals to buy or use on my lawn, don't know what I even need to help the lawn. All I do is try different things and hope for the best. I'm working on my backyard right now - I started a couple of months ago (again) by tilting the soil and throwing in fertilizer (10-10-10), seeding the lawn (laying pine straw on top of it) a few days later with tall sun/shade fescue grass, watering twice a day with very little rain (early morning and late evening w/temperatures in the 90's +) right now I have a small amount of grass but I should have more growth and I feel like giving up. Maybe I should purchase a step-by-step guidebook, and do some homework before trying again. I also installed an inground sprinkler system (3 zones) water supply from my well. Your videos do help me understand what steps are required to grow beautiful grass but I do not understand how to apply your lessons and techniques, to resolve my scenario. Do you have or recommend a step-by-step guide I can follow and what chemicals I would need to treat my lawn? Thank you and take care :) Randy Red Oak, NC

I have always been a lawn guy and one of my neighbors even calls me “The Sod Father” We recently purchased 20 acres of farmland in NW Indiana that we will be building a new home on. I realize I won’t be able to keep up my current level of lawn but still want it to be as nice as possible. My specific question is about a seed type called Black Beauty Tall Fescue. My research is showing a dark green color with a very deep root structure so it is quite drought resistant. Your opinion would be appreciated! Thanks and keep up the good work!

Ryan, can you create a video going more in depth to how you’ve successfully grown grass in your campsite area? My parents have a lower yard that is very similar to that area, surrounded my trees and not much sunlight. Over the years moss has taken over and killed off the grass. What are your suggestions on overcoming this and maintaining a healthy lawn in an environment such as that so that we can avoid moss taking over again? My dad had an accident last year and hasn’t been able to do much so I’m trying to help do this for him so that he doesn’t have to worry about it.

Or can I just seed with topsoil? Ty in advance just trying to see the easiest way to just get more consistency in my lawn.
@35057 2 жыл бұрын
My rule of thumb for the past couple years has worked well, I do my aerate and over-seed the first week of September. I do fescue in the back yard and PRG in the front. It’s been 4 years now and it’s starting to look pretty uniform but I see patches of junk I’m tempted to kill off 100% and overseed with PRG. But over the years I’ve been seeing reasons why I think my overall soil health isn’t as good as it should be. Seems to be sand heavy loam. Wondering how I can fix my soil. My grass goes dormant really fast in a couple spots.
@alexschmitt9317 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for all you do, Ryan! I attempted a late spring renovation with your 80/20 BG/PRG and I've been fighting crab grass all summer (had a very old zoysia lawn). I'm in SW Indiana. I've given it multiple applications of Drive XLR8 with MSO (thank God for the Sprayers Plus backpack sprayer), but it just keeps spreading. We had some freak heavy rains followed by a couple heat waves, so only about half of the lawn has stayed. I'm having an irrigation system installed (probably in November) but they'll have to install a second meter (likely in October), so I'd like to restart the renovation again in the fall, but don't want to have to kill everything off again if half made it through the summer. Any suggestions on targeting crab grass prior to another renovation without having to kill it all off with Glysophate? Thanks again!

Hi Ryan, I'm looking to do more of an over seeding approach on my lawn rather than a full renovation this September. I'm curious what your thoughts are on if aerating of the existing lawn is a good idea in prepping for seeding (maybe after dethatching?) or if it would be best to just wait and aerate in the spring?

Great video Ryan. We are getting a new paver patio and walkway coming from the driveway to our screened in porch. The contractors say there is going to be lawn damage. There is a roughly 3,000 square foot area behind d where the paver patio is going with a variety of different grasses. I would love to make it actually tall fescue back yard. Should I kill all the existing grass back there or just spot kill the areas with the grass types I want to get rid of. Or is there a better way to do it? Thanks. I am in Northeast PA.

Ryan, my 1.5 acre lawn is full of weeds and lawn debris/thatch. I want to overseed this fall. When should I apply tenacity and when should I use my electric dethatcher? Which should I do first? When do I apply your lawn seed? I live in Ohio.
@bigbotno1 Жыл бұрын
2:29 'Start renovation about 6-8 weeks before frost date.' Not only that, but also when shade hits your lawn cause of less daylight. By october my lawn is full in shade and it gets pretty wet, frost usually starts somewhere november/december. I have to start renovation in august to have the renovation succeed. In spring renovation starts later, usually in april in stead of march.

Love the video. Nice job. One critique, and I see this on all the grass tuner channels, just rent a sod cutter. Takes a couple hours, gets it down to dirt, take and remove material, and you’re done. If starting in the morning, you can remove the old yard, and seed the new yard in one day. Shit you can level the thing to if you’re feeling froggy lol.

Patiently waiting for Fall to dive in... I need to start the leveling process as my mower jumps around on me quite a bit now. Am I wrong to do things in the following order ~late August/early Sept (cool season Kentucky blue here in Western NY). Going to mow low (2"), dethatch (have a sunjoe 15''), core aerate, level, fertilize, and then overseed. Too much for the yard to handle? 6,000 sq feet so planning on grabbing 8-10 yards of topsoil to start and see where that takes me but I know leveling just right will take a few seasons.

Hi, I've been following you on youtube for a while and I really appreciate the stuff you give in your videos. In fact, I would like to know if the products you use can be delivered to Canada? If it is possible, I would like to have the procedure. Many thanks in advance and keep up the good work.

any tips on bird deterrents when overseeding?

Thanks for the great video Ryan. I am looking at your seed for my fall reseeding project. Is there any concern with mixing your seed into whatever my yard currently contains? Is there a risk of "really nice looking dark green patches" vs old fescue sections?

As long as you prep correctly and thin things out enough to get good even coverage of the new it shouldn't look patchy

Thanks for such an informative video Would it be a good idea to spray down the weeds then a week later dethatch and then reseed? Not sure if the new grass will be established enough to wait to dethatch in Sep. I’m in Canada so it can get cold and dry quite quickly. Thank you!
