- I decided to start my lawn all over again from scratch. This video shows you the progress of how I seeded and took care of my new baby grass.

That cuts deep my friend
@@MrZuph same dude, i dont know why but its relaxing.

Ravioli Ravioli 12:52 on my clock right now
"Dad can we play in the backyard?"
"Yes son, but first wipe your feet."
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

Hi there, I am from Adelaide and currently I am going through a rough time having to watch as my dad slips away from the family. One thing he loved and cared for (besides his kids) was his lawn. Loved watching this video man. I really want to try hard to get my dad's old front and back lawns back up to par as a sort of memento. Thanks for the great videos :)
I’m sure that would make your dad proud
Dude yard is beautiful.
If my yard looked like that i would definitely not mind sleeping outside every time my wife pisses me off
Sounds like your wife wears the pants in your relationship.
That lawn was so nice she might make you sleep inside while she takes the lawn.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Well that was emotional... Like watching a child grow up. Haha... But seriously man, fantastic job! It looks amazing 😉
Thanks Seth!! Haha it is a bit hey.
@@LawnTips what kind of grass seed did you use
@@isaacrichardson1619 Watch some of his other videos. He lays out all the deets.
@@LawnTips did you put sand between Rotary Hoe and Soil, it looks like gray and some small rocks ?
Thanks
@@LawnTips very nice Lawn I want to Get a lawn like yours one day
Meanwhile, Day 13 of my adventure with similar prep. I see like 5 germinated seeds. Yay me!
This is still a great video after 4 years watching it again...
i have never felt so happy watching grass
This lawn is absolutely beautiful in the end I'm hoping to totally redo my lawn like this !
Nice job, mate! Just goes to show that, once again, if you do the small, required steps, in order, and persistently, you get success in the end. SUPER job!
There was something really satisfying about watching that video.
why did that feel so emotional? excellent lawn
I know this is a old vid but I am a licensed irrigator in Texas and can’t help but notice your mp rotors :) My favorite nozzle out right now cheers!
Yea I've got 5 free minutes. Why not watch this guy grow a lawn and see his passion flourish
I am 2 weeks into my new lawn and I am seeing alot of the same growth with bare spots you are having, I keep seeding, manure/compost over bare spots and water; seem to be working for me. Your yard looks awesome, keep up the great work.
I know I’m 4 years late but watching this video at 4 am inspired me to kill my Lawn and start over. I always thought I’d never renovate my lawn but you definitely changed my mind. Now I’m just waiting for germination. Thanks for sharing this awesome video.
Small piece of lawn is nice but to have the whole yard completely unimaginative
good cinematography ;-) , soothing music and of course incredible greens. Feels so nice to watch
Doing this at the moment Ben
Absolutely incredible. Watched all your tips and finally got my motivation back to get the best lawn in the street. I Have Kikuyu infested with clover and other broadleaf. Gonna be a long track but your videos made it worth it and gave me the push I needed. Well done your lawn hope one day mine is half as good :)
Thank you sir!!
You’ll have to send me some pictures and videos mate!! Love watching other people’s results
I've been going through the same thing up here in Maine, USA mate. I started a year ago. I had a ton of moss and most of the rest was weeds. Ben's been a super help along the way. I've made tremendous progress in the first year of a three year plan. Stick with it and you'll be dominating in no time!
What a transformation. Excited to see how your turf is looking come Spring.
So am I man!!
Yeah we do! Just not a lot. We only get light dustings and it’s pretty rare.
Most of Australia doesn’t though. I live in a bit of a cooler climate
That was super satisfying to watch
You are a Lawn God
Thank you sir, I am inspired here in South Africa. We are approaching winter, can't wait for it to be over so that I can re-read my lawn..
*reseed
I know you’ve since moved. But this was satisfying.
I held back tears, beautiful
these videos are so perfect for when im dying inside
Very nice my Friend! I just laid fresh sod about 2 months ago. Learning as I go. I have learned a few things from watching your videos
Thanks mate!!
Nice! Should be powering along if it’s two months old!
The metric system is so much better. Nice relaxing video.
Lovely video! Great work all the way around. I also liked the music so much that I plugged in my old Strat, watched it again and played along (Its in the key of B by the way :)
Thank you!
That was beautiful. I almost cried.
Amazing job! I’ve done the same thing, used a perennial rye/couch mixture, been watering consistently, middle of spring. Day 8 and still no germination 😏
Everything but the roundup looked ok. I personally "turf cut" the top inch and remove, blow off surface, turf cut again an inch and a half if I got a weak power rake or weak tiller and/or depending on the ground, then do grade-work and slight compaction, then seed drill or equivalent down a 1/4 to a 1/2 inch max. Keep Moist, no straw unless I know there's absolutely no weeds in it.
no idea how i got here but i wont say im disappointed
I really like this video dedication and know how in spades I freaked out when I saw you spraying round-up week killer with shorts..😫 I have rubber boots and wet proof pance spraying the net result was super🤠👍👍
Frosty! Nice recap of lawn
Thanks! Yep very frosty. Even worse today
Huge effort - and it's been well rewarded. Well done.
Thanks mate! Definitely a big job, but defs worth it!!
So much lawn envy.
Nice lawn! Mines is like the surface of the moon with grass! A guess a won't be throwing large handfuls of miracle grow in random spots in my garden again! The best part was when a thought a was doing a grand job until it started growing longer in different areas then realising miracle grow and grass seed are completely different! 😆
Tears, so beautiful. Like thousands of tiny highschool graduates. 😂
😆 hahaha
Thank you for sharing such an amazing video. It's beautiful.
I wanted to cry. I dunno why. But this was beautiful😅
Haha
This is fkd!! I wish I could get our grass growing like this!! Solid efforts bud :)
Great work friend and cheers! From one lawn care nut to another I’m truly impressed!
Thanks mate!! Appreciate the kind words
Wow!! This video is so inspiring...great job!!!
Wow. I had no idea you could go from dirt to full healthy lawn in a month. I hate my lawn, it's full of rocks, holes, and uneven as can be and I've been seriously thinking about gutting it and starting over. I bought this house and didn't realize just how bad the lawn is until I cut it for the first time. After seeing this I might just go for it.
holy crap didn't know grew it from seed 👍👍
That’s one mighty fine lawn
Just curious what type of seed/seed mix you used here? When you reseeded on day 11 did you continue watering 4x daily? Great video by the way, super jealous of the beautiful lawn!
Very good
im so jealous of this yard.
great video mate! really nice to see it from that perspective.
Thanks mate!
This grass is cleaner than my carpet 🔥
Besides you contributing to poisoning the earth your grass looks good 👍
The soil is so important for a good lawn
Absolutely amazing outcome mate 👌🏼
Hey man! Not sure how I just came across this one!!! Great vid dude! 🍆
Love it!!...
it looks fluffy
Who else in here is Lawnly?
i'm just started getting into lawn care as i like mowing and whipper snipping so much( its relaxing for me besides my back get really sore after). my back lawn is looking so much better after just mowing it every 5 days or so, the lawn has come to life and soft under foot and i haven't done much to it at all. but the font needs to be worked on a lot as its full on bindis and other weeds. so i think i might over seed the back plus a huge patch where the last people here had a huge shed and now its just a dirt patch thats got weeds growing out. then get some bindi killer and take out all the other weeds then over seed it and sort out a dirt patch too. But i'm just a noobie but am willing to learn and loving the results i am getting from just mowing too.
I need that turf cutting machine. It's either use that or kill off the entire lawn with weed killer and wait 2 weeks, then use a rake and shove to remove all debris.
That's a nice freaking lawn mate.... Be a "shame" if someone stole it 😜
Great video, I'll be seeding my yard soon! So excited!
That's just crazy awesome! I'm getting ready to seed centipede in my back yard about 10k sqft...I'll be happy to get it half as nice as yours.
Thanks mate!!!
Look everyone someone that knows how to actually grow turf 👍 Amazing job, I have clients that have started their homes by seeding and it doesn't even look like that the first or second month or year. Companies tell them to water all day causing half the damn seed to drown before germination.
Great vid. I really hope you are able to sit on your porch as an old man after using the round up as you did
Yes that was silly of me. I agree
0:19 when ur taking a small dump lol
Vadim Andriychuk ahahaha
Nothing like hard work paying off. Amaxing stuff sir.
Thanks mate!!
Class...
nice job bro
Amazing work!!!
Thanks mate!
4:29 Your neighbors: The grass is always greener on the other side.
First of all great job. I used to have a lawn like that then the weeds started. Now I have a perfect lawn all year around it is called artificial. The neighbors are jealous.
Boo
Much better than synthetic turf.
Damn fine work sir!
Thanks mate!!
"yow may wa-up"
You have my attention.
What a fantastic job!
Love the lawn, but your second pic on the website is you wearing a Liverpool shirt!! That will turn the grass brown!! ..... only joking best lawn I’ve seen outside of scotland. Great work!
Crazy grass
so beautiful to see, greetings from Ecuador.
I’m in awe.
Is it best to spray glysophate and kill existing grass first and then use turf cutter to remove? Or remove using turf cutter first and spray what ever is left?
Awesome video my lawn care brother from down under! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks my friend 👌🏽
You are a turf Genius!
Haha thank you sir
Thanks for another enjoyable vid! Take care 👍
No worries mate! Thanks for watching 👌🏽
incredible. absolutely incredible
Wow amazing
I live in Decatur Georgia and I have sooo many customers but not enough workers. I hired and been through like 30 guys because they would quit because of all the hard work.
Wowwwww!!!!!! Awesome vid!!!!
Nice lawn ,
That is some nice grass though
Superb lawn
Roundup... Ohh Man it is one way ticket
@@alonzokincaid1362 exactly...
Fabulous
I know this is an old vid but How did you keep the birds from eating all the seed? Also what seed did you use? Thanks
Did they just spray the entire area with Round up? (1min10sec) pass
yes, and? It kills any dormant weeds/seedlings that might be lurking in the under-soil, glyphosate-ready grass is probably used so it doesn't get harmed. Most weeds have a longer root structure than grass, so any weed that would grow into the glyphosate layer would hypothetically die, but since it drains over time, this is only valid for the first month or so depending on weather.
You may have your reasons to not like it, but weeds starve the surrounding grass of nutrients over time, eventually leaving dead spots and compacted soil.....so to each their own I guess.
Robert Caldwell given RoundUp’s cancerous reputation something else needs to replace it.
@@SteveBueche1027 ....do you plan on turning the soil and licking the underside? Even then, you'd need to lick the entire yard before you get about 10% chance of cancer......fear is strong with you I assume. Are you scared to leave your home because you read a statistic about car accidents? Or bee stings?
Ridiculous.....just use a proper sprayer and not upwind, all chemicals in this world are bad when you take it to the head.
@@SteveBueche1027 I do not approve this use of glyfosate but even coffee causes more cancer than glyfosate. And to the guy in the video, just plough the soil and the weeds are burried to deep to grow.
Glyphosate isn't going to give you cancer unless you decide to drink it from the tub, get over yourself
Excellent work..
my question would be - what will it look like after, or even during summer? Amenity Rye is notorious for disliking heat and sun. I have never seen an Amenity Rye in full sun that does well - you might be watering 3 times a day during Dec, Jan and Feb and you had better get a heap of Taratek 5F and Calvary - along with a good sized bucket of Diazanon - you'll be busy.
what grass seed did you use for this and where did you buy from? thanks mate!
