How to [FIX an UGLY LAWN] | Golf Course Lawn RENOVATION [WEED CONTROL]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июн 2020
- How to fix an ugly lawn is a question a lot of home owners face. In this video series, we'll document a process that YOU can follow to transform your ugly lawn to a golf course lawn. It starts with getting weeds under control. Depending on how bad the weeds are we can accomplish this from manually pulling the weeds or by using a combination herbicide and per-emergent product. I prefer go the granular route for this step since it's very effective while minimizing damage to the grass.
In this video we walk through my next door neighbor Alex's lawn to survey the situation. Next we apply my weed control and pre-emergent of choice to start the process of getting the weeds under control. Our goal is to improve his lawn over this season by implementing a serious lawn care program. We'll transform his ugly lawn to a golf course lawn. My hope is that this series will be help to any home owners wanting to do the same thing with their lawn.
You'll get lawn tips on how to get rid of weeds, top dress your lawn, and apply fertilizers to transform what you currently have to the lawn of your dreams. A huge part of having a golf course lawn is using the right mower. So expect to learn all about reel mowers and why you should consider one for your project. Stay tuned!

I watched your How to Fix an ugly lawn series… does this process also work for centipede grass? If so, what time of year do you start? Also, I know you talked about preemergent and postemergent, what do you recommend and when do you apply?
And… I ordered the products you suggested for weeds. Can I apply that when I get it or should I wait?
Awesome! Everyone talks about dominating your neighbors, but why not come together and dominate your neighborhood!
I love it! That's the goal right? His lawn is already looking a lot better since switching to the Tru-Cut. After a good top-dress, it'll be perfect. Well.... perfect until we do whatever's next right? 👍😎
Yeah Jack. Spreading love of lawn care to everyone right?
Just managing that much lawn is giving me nightmares
@Doug Carter thanks a lot! It's great that you're helping your neighbors out. Have a great weekend.
@@nozislam Don't buy such a big house nest time! ha ha

That's Ridgewood Gardens. You can see the first 6 episodes here: ruclips.net/video/49OXqXGNe28/видео.html They've already been released. Part 7 comes out later this week. 👍😎
So impressed with the law it is just beautiful and healthy. I wrote to you some time ago as I am a renter and no control over mowing, but I was able to reseed and compost then put tarp over the damaged area from there tractor mower. And it is so amazing and I am at about three inches. My brother bought a battery-operated weed trimmer since I am not allowed to now.
Thank you for inspiration and support...God bless 🙏🙏🙏.....I have a pet frog in the garden 🐸
That's awesome am sav. It's very cool that you're making the best of what you have to work with. Once you have a lawn of your own, you'll be that much better with it. It's cool that you have a pet frog. Little buddy to check up on when you're out work in the yard. 😀
🌞 Great starting point; look forward to seeing the transformation! 🌞
Thanks so much Sunny!. Alex is pretty excited too. His lawn is already looking much better since switching to the Tru-Cut reel mower. Consistent moving is like 80% of getting and maintaining a great lawn and he's committed to doing that. Should be pretty awesome in few months. 😎
Thank you sir! Very professional videos and I look forward to the next episode. Good work.
Thank you very much Aaron. I've been getting a bit better at editing as I've been doing it more. Take a lot of work, but I'm happy to be able to produce fun and informative content for you guys.
Nice video! Keep them coming!
Thanks! Will do DS. Much appreciated! 😎

Looking forward to the transformation. Round of applause for Alex 👏🏾🤙🏾🌱
Us too! It should make for a great series that will be helpful for people looking to transform their lawns. I'm really excited. 😎
Ron Henry , It seems that Milorganite is very slow, close to leaving all stores do to shortage, I’m very carious to see what product you will be using since it will not be around for much if any longer. Thanks for the content.
@@onelifetolive4 I'll just use the fertilizers from Lebanon turf. Proscape is a great fertilizer that also contains a bit of iron. If I i need more, I can always use Brandt Supreme Green which has 5% iron.
@@RonHenry how can I watch this series?
ron-henry.com/gcl will take you to the playlist.
Just found your channel. Great content man. Thank you.
You're very welcome Nick! Thanks so much for watching the content. Hope that you stay around and let me know how I can help out. 👍😎

That’s the goal! Thanks for watching!
Thank you God for this man taking the time to show how to care for my lawn .I will be watching all your videos

It should be pretty awesome. He's committed to creating an awesome lawn. I have no doubt it's going to happen. 😎
Thanks needed this video!
Glad it as helpful Think Money. Let me know if you have any questions once you get through the series.
@@RonHenry I do have a question, I dropped Scott’s triple action about 4 weeks ago, & I’m not so happy with the weed control results, how soon can I drop the spectracide down on my bermuda (live in georgia) i plan on dethatching this weekend & a little aeration to reach the soil much better before I drop down the flagship fertilizer. Could you help me out with giving me the best sequence of how to do these tasks, and time separation in between, if any. I appreciate your feedback.
Well Ron, you answered my question of how to rid your lawn of perennial Cab grass/Dallas Grass etc . . . after you kill it with post emergent, you have to had dig it out, then make sure you use enough pre-emergent in the Fall and Spring to prevent it to germinate. . Great series.
Yessir. That's the way to deal with crab and dallisgrass. Crabgrass is much easier than dallisgrass though. Appreciate you watching.
Looks almost exactly like mine. I’ll be following this closely 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Joshua! 3 episodes have been released already. Episode 4 will go live this upcoming Tuesday. 😎👍
Great video and information! That lawn is going to be rocking!
Thanks Lawn Shark! We are putting a lot of work into getting it in much better shape. Stay tuned for more as the series develops! 😎👍

I look forward to the progression of this project ......
Happy that you're deciding to follow the series Ron. It should turn out great. Alex is putting in the work! 😎
I'm excited to get my lawn together, good to see I've been doing some of the right steps, now to adjust some things and mini golf course lawn here I come!!! Glad I found you. #NewHomeOwner #FromDirtToGolfCourse lol

Love your videos.
Glad you like them! Much appreciated. Let me know if I can help with anything. 👍😎
So good I subscribed
Thanks for subbing!
Just got 5 lbs of Arden 15 on order yesterday, have some coarse sand ready and a friend is loaning me his large spreader. Punched holes yesterday and put down some fungicide late yesterday along with some natural 20-0-8 fert with 2% iron. Already did after some milo and liquid iron 2 weeks ago. Going to level the yard probably late July early August to allow for the Arden time to establish. Still deciding on what reel mower to get. Thanks again for the videos, looking forward to see how good your neighbor can get his yard looking in the next 12 months. Stay safe up there and best to you and yours.
It sounds like you're doing it all Moon! 😎 Your method for applying the seed and the prep work all sound really good. now is a great time to get the seed down because soil temps are consistently where you want them for good germination. Just be sure to keep the turf moist to give the Arden 15 the best chance to come in nicely. Be sure to let me know how your project is going. Thanks for the kind words. 😎
Great video !!!!!! I too also look forward to seeing you work your magic. A few shots of Green Lawnger for the win...….LOL
You and me both Tim. It should make for a fun series that hopefully helps other out. Alex is up for the challenge!😎
I really liked how detailed the explanations are. That’s very helpful for me. Also, this guy is super likable. I kinda wanna grab a beer w him. Haha
I appreciate that Dennis! Alex is a great guy to have a beer with. Overall just great person. I'm really fortunate to have him as a neighbor. 😎
Great tips!! Don't know if anyone else noticed but, great soundtrack for getting the weeds "out the way" 🤣🤣
Thanks Mr. Sully! That's a good catch. I probably use that music too much, but I like it. People haven't complained so I'll keep using. 😎👍
Wow! So happy to get in on the ground up of a project like this. Just so you know, so many people start out like this, showing how to fix a lawn, talk all about their sponsored products and they say there you go. Thanks for watching. I still can’t find videoed on their channel on how things turned out. I hope you’re different. I’ve liked and subscribed. You look very enthusiastic and confident! If adjustments need to be made, I don’t call them mistakes, I hope you showcase them as well. It’s the way we as viewers grow to respect you because we all know throwing down this one sponsored product doesn’t fix everything. I wish your neighbor the best on this journey!
Hi Nick. I'm going to show you the entire process. Beginning to end regardless of results. I can assure you that I'm never going to recommend something that I don't believe in. If you look at the majority of the products I use on my lawn, they're not affiliate links. I don't make any money off them. I just want to share what I've found to work well and the results I've gotten with them. Just want to engage with the community and help people create their own golf course lawns. Thanks for trusting me with your subscription. Much appreciated. 😎👍
Ron Henry you guyz are having too much fun. I lve in east Texas and have the sandy soil, everything grows! Thanks for sharing the series. My lawn is on it’s way thanks to your help. My personal lawn care trainer!....Fore.
Thanks Edward! This comment made my morning. We are having a ton of fun. Happy that you’re getting lots of value and a bit of entertainment out of the content. 😎 If there’s anything I can do to help, let me know. 👍
Ron Henry Awesome, thanks.⛳️
Most welcome. 😎👍
Awesome! Just subscribed
Thanks so much Coral. I really appreciate it. If there's anything I can help out with, don't hesitate to reach out. I try to be very responsive in the comments. Thanks again for subscribing. 😎👍
Ron Henry just keep that good content coming thanks!
Will do my best. Thanks!
Ron I had to come back and look at this series. My husband put this down after mowing and the weeds haven’t come back as strong. I’m super impressed. And we did this 2 days before it was supposed to rain. The backyard is still looking terrible, but the front looks so different. Thanks for these videos.
Question for you though: can we put down a post emergent now that we’ve had this down for a week or so?
Umm... You can an Amy, but keep in mind that Spectracide is a combination pre and post emergent product. If you want a post emergent that can be applied using a hose end sprayer, get the Spectracide ready to spray with the orange top. amzn.to/3eRE0p1 Once you apply that, the weeds should be hating life so all that's left to do is a lot of mowing. Growing a thick, healthy lawn is one of the best weed controls. We only want to use herbicides to get ahead of weeds if at all possible. Let me know if I can help with anything else. Thanks for watching the content. Appreciate the support. 👍😎
Great video. I will be working with my brother to bring his lawn back to life. I’m in Texas and he will be going with zoysia.
Thanks phillips4Energy. Zoysia lawns can look awesome when cared for. Granted that's true for any grass but Zoysia can easily look like thick carpet. Glad that content is useful. Thanks for watching.
Hey cobba, scotty from the gold coast Australia here. Mate love the channel! Your lawn looks beautiful.
Ive got tiftuf Bermuda at home. Will certainly be taking tips of you 😊. Cheers mate.
Appreciate you watching Scott. Thanks for the support. 🙏😎
I’m getting that weed popper.
Thank you.
Great idea Manuel. It's a great little tool for getting rid of weeds while not damaging your lawn too much. Glad that you decided to pick one up! 👍
I love transformation video series! Looking forward to seeing the progress.
More to come! It should be really good. Hopefully it's helpful for other lawn care geeks looking to transform their lawns.😎👍
this is gonna be a fun series to watch. that burrweed burns off easy...i use the organic method (i hand pull hahahaha) . u gonna get a soil sample done? good idea to show folks a before and after of soil health too.
Doing a soil test is a great idea Frankie. Haven't done one as yet but it's something we need to get done. To your point, it would be good to show the before and after.
Great another lawn mowing channel I have to watch now. My wife already thinks I'm crazy!
There are worse things Travis! Thanks for watching. 🙏😎
Great comment phillup bucket. If lawn domination is your goal, this series should help get you there.
Lol wish I could post some pictures on here. I took my lawn to the brink of death to get a golf course lawn. Follow videos from Ron and Ryan I've almost got it.
Thanks for the kind words Travis.
Hard work in the lawn. PITTL
Always sir! Always. 😎👍
Hello Ron. I have reached out to you twice since subscribing to your channel and I appreciate the speed by which you have replied. Even better, within the past 30-40 days my lawn has moved from being just ok to the envy of the whole neighborhood using your advice and videos so be encouraged. I have a few spots that have not grown all the way in but otherwise it looks awesome. I plan to top dress this weekend and I have some significant divots in the lawn. I would like to know should I focus on top dressing exclusively or can I do both dressing and divot/uneven surface repair at the same time. If so what material should I use i.e. sand or a finely screened compost or some mix in between. Do I use one material for topdressing only and another method for repairing holes? I hope this makes sense. Also my lines do not look as pronounced as yours do after I mow. I wonder if I am still cutting too high. I can see the pattern in my lawn when I look closely but not as clear as your lines come through in your videos. I have the same rotary mower as you do and I have it set to 1 inch. Lastly how frequently do you get your Tru-Cut serviced i.e. blades sharpened, bed knife aligned, chain oiled, spark plugs etc. Thank you........Q
Heya Queron. Congrats on making the decision to top dress your lawn. It's a lot of work, but you'll love the results you get. As far as repairing divots while top dressing, that's totally possible. It just depends on how big of a divot we're talking. Ideally you don't want to completely cover up the underlying grass since that will seriously increase how long it takes for the turf to recover. For the divot areas, you can use a more screen sand and then top it with your top dress mix. I use a 70/30 split on my lawn. It won't hurt to fill the divots with the same top dress material but because the organic content will eventually break down, you'll find that you'll get a bit of sinking in a year or 2.
Depending on how deep the divots/ruts are, it will probably take a few top dress sessions to get it where you want it. I've fully top dressed my lawn twice and I still have a few areas that I touch up now and then due to wear. In regards to my mower, I don't have a rotary. My Tru-Cut is a reel mower with a front roller which helps it produce the stripes. Once your lawn is top dressed, you should get better stripes because the roller will stay in contact better with the turf. For Bermuda, you get the best stripes at mowing heights of .75 - 1 inch. If that's the height you're cutting at, you should see decent stripes. I typically service my mower once per season. Reel sharpening, oil and filter change, etc. I oil the chains once per month on my own using a chain lubricant. Hope this helps. 😎👍
I love your intro music 👍
Thanks Time Print. I've gotten a few comments from people saying they don't like it, but most seem to appreciate it. I figure it breaks up the intro and main content. I keep it as short as possible. Thanks for watching the content! 😎👍
@@RonHenry yeah I know what you mean, there are some viewers that don't like some of the songs that I add to my videos and others love it, is hard to please everybody but we do our best, keep it up with the great content looking forward to see more of your videos
You’re absolutely right Time Print. Thanks so much for letting me know you like the content. If you have any ideas for things you’d like to see or if there are areas I can improve, please let me know. 😎👍
Your house is beautiful brother
Thanks so much Cole. Much appreciated! The lawn is my favorite part.
Do you have a video that gives us a step to step plan to fertilize the lawn starting with pre-emergent to winterizer? Thanks
I have a detailed calendar in my course at golfcourselawn.com Don. If you'd like to see a more basic version of what's in it, check the bottom of this page. golfcourselawn.store/blogs/news/step-by-step-guide-for-getting-a-golf-course-lawn Let me know if I can help with anything else.
Good job! Got one question. What type of grass you have? I use centipede, bahalia mixed. Can I get the golf course look?
Hi Charlene. My grass is Tifway 419 Bermuda overseeded with Princess 77 and Arden 15. You absolutely can get a golf course lawn look with centipede and bahia grass. You'll have to mow them a bit higher than bermuda 1.5 - 2" but can still achieve a great look. Kind of like what I outlined in my "how to get a golf course lawn" video, you'll want to top dress the lawn so that you can mow it at those lower heights with less chance of scalping the turf. Let me know if I can help with anything else. 👍😎
Hello from Ireland
Hi Premier Lawns. Thanks for stopping by! Always nice to have viewers from across the pond. :-)
Hey man just bought a house and started my lawn care journey! Loving the content, beautiful home btw. What's your day job if you don't mind me asking? Keep putting out great content !;
Heya Desmund. Thanks for watching the content. I work in the information security field as my day job. I enjoy it. Will do my best to keep putting out helpful content. Let me know if I can help with anything. 😎👍
Initially started cutting our bermudagrass that we got sodded last fall from 3" most of this year, to recently 2" to now 1.5". The grass is sparse obviously given the height of the cut initially, but how long do you expect it to start thickening up.. is this a rest of the year process or should it start thickening up quickly? I can already tell a big difference in terms of the feel of stepping on it. The grass recently got a nice feeding of milo so what's there is really greening up nicely. I'm in North Texas. Thanks for your channel, I'm learning a lot!
Hi Tom! It can take 4 - 6 weeks to start seeing a difference. The more often you mow, the faster you'll see an improvement in density. Adding plant growth regulator will also help the lawn become more dense. I have a few videos on the topic. Here's the most recent one I've done. ruclips.net/video/-DtiIYS4mv4/видео.html Appreciate you watching. 👍😎
Hey there was wondering what the best way to spread Specticide? I hope I spelled that right..
Using a broadcast spreader like the Earthway 2050P: ron-henry.com/earthway
I knew tiger woods slow down his golf game and wasn't really doing so well I didn't know now he was renovating golf course turf
Hahahah Andy. Thanks for the compliment. That's not the first time I've heard that one. Would be nice if I could play like Tiger. 😎
@@RonHenry I'd be happy just playing with women like tiger forget the game of golf
Hahahaha. That would be too much work andy. Too much to keep track of. Would probably end up being a headache.
Great video, this is the easy way. I just did a video on laying sod. Just subscribed to you.
Thanks for the sub A-Veteran lawn care. Will do my best to provide content that you'll hopefully find useful. 😎👍
Ok! I feel like I can finally transform my lawn bc of your extensive series of videos. My lawn looks like Alex’s. What kind of golf course mower does Alex have, assuming you recommended it to him? Excited to start this journey.
Hi Shae. He has a TruCut C27. They're tough to come by these days. You might want to look into a California Trimmer. @Reel Rollers has them in stock.
@@RonHenry I’ll do that, thank you!
Should the spectracide weed product for weeds not be applied when it’s too hot?
Hi Jerry. Ideally you want to apply it early in the morning when the turf is wet so that it can stick to the leaves of the weeds. Apply when lawn is wet but when you also don't expect rain in the forecast for 16 - 24 hours. It has a pre-emergent in it as well so Spectracide will help prevent new weeds from growing in. Don't apply it when the lawn is dry because it won't be as effective. I recently made a video covering it's use as well as other weed control options. Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/dDN7bApxnFk/видео.html Let me know if I can help with anything else. 👍😎
Hi Ron, The ONLY weed I have noticed in my lawn of late are seed heads. How do I manage this? use the spectracide?
Heya Queron. If the seed heads are coming from your Bermuda, I'd consider putting down a PGR like T-NEX. It really helps with seed head suppression and has the side benefit that you'll have to mow less frequently too. If you're interested in learning more about T-Nex, feel free to check out my not yet released video on how to apply it and what you can expect. ruclips.net/video/cbFqXziTcVo/видео.html Let me know if I can help with anything else. 👍😎
Ok it's official... Ron Henry is a badass!!
I really appreciate it Obadiah!
I have a yard full of tall weeds do I mow first then apply the weed killer
Apply weed killer and mow 2 days later.
What do you think of tenacity or quinclorac? Would you recommend those products?
They're good but if money is little object, I'd go with Tribute Total from Bayer. Great product that has less chance of harming the turf and kill most common weeds other than dallisgrass.
Hello, we just bought the Arden 15 Bermuda, we are gettin some dirt in, would you recommend to add compost soil or top soil? And add sand to soul? Or doesn’t matter?
Thank you
Hi Yaneth. Either top soil or compost will work. I've used a blend of sand and soil and gotten great results with it. The nice thing with adding a bit of sand is it does a better job of leveling low spots in your lawn. Any of the 3 will work well though (top soil, compost, or a sand blend). Let me know if I can help with anything else.
Great video series, Ron! I have a rotary mower and a small Bermuda lawn in North Carolina. Do I really need to get a reel mower? My lawn is nowhere near as nice as Alex's, ha ha. Work in progress. I'm on my second year of Milorganite, though. Better.
Hi Jamison. I’d you have Bermuda grass, a reel mower is the best tool for the job. As good as a rotary mower can be, the cut from a reel mower is next level. It all takes time though. Remember to enjoy the process.
Thanks, Ron! That is good to know. You probably have a video that covers this, but how do you sharpen the blades on a reel mower? Or do you replace them?
What kind of mower do you suggest for centipede grass? I'm in the panhandle of Florida, if that matters.
How much time do you have to mow? The best option for centipede or any other shorter grass is a reel mower. That said, they’re only worth getting if you have the time to mow twice per week. At least twice per week for best results.
Hi Ron. My husband has been watching your videos and has appreciated the great advice on how to have a golf course lawn. He and I have been in our new home for about 9 months now and he decided on sodding our backyard with zoysia grass before we moved in. It looks ok, doesn't have weeds, but he wants that golf course look. We live in Texas, more specifically, San Antonio. Would he apply the same principles for zoysia and you use for Bermuda grass? Our backyard slopes away from our home and he is planning on mowing it low and top dressing it around the first week in July. Is it too late in the season to do this? We have not had any significant rain since April. Any advice and recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Lucinda. Yep! Same principles apply. Soil testing, fertilization program and top dressing. It's not too late in the season to top dress. Now is a great time if he can tolerate being out in the heat.
You're good to top dress between April and early August. As long as the grass is actively growing, you're ok. It would be good if you the ability to water the lawn after top dressing; even if that means dragging hoses out to do it. You can get a soil test here: golfcourselawn.store/products/mysoil-starter-pack It will let you know exactly what kind of fertilizer you should be using on your lawn. There's also tons of free info on my blog on the topic of getting a golf course lawn. golfcourselawn.store/blogs/diy-lawn-care
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need anything else. Appreciate the support.
@@RonHenry Thanks for the quick response. I will definitely let him know. His goal is to have that same look you have next spring/summer season or the one following that. Then invest in a reel mower. We love how your lawn has a well manicured look. Thanks again. God Bless.
I have a question about zoysia. I just plugged a section of my backyard 2 weeks ago when it was in the 70's. Now it has dropped down in the 30's at night and the plugs are turning brown. Will they come back out again or did the cold snap kill them? I thought winter was over when I decided to plug them. Too anxious I guess.
They should come back Mike. Worst case you can plug again, but they'll likely bounce back once we get higher temperatures.
Can’t get spectracide delivered to California. How often do you need to use pre emergent? I used Scott’s halt pre emergent in early May. Now I need something for the weeds.
Dubios, You can't get any Spectracide products at all in Cali? There's a product from Scotts (WeedEX) but it looks like there are restrictions on that one too. How many weeds are we talking? Can you pull them?
Can you put grub killer down the same day ??
Yes.
I pulled up the weeds and started over seeding my lawn but I also put down fertilizer at the same that had weed killer in it. I see a few buds coming in but it's been a few weeks already. I'm not sure if I should put more seed or fertilizer. What do you think? Any suggestions? I'm in Los Angeles.
Hi Erica. If the product you put down has pre-emergent in it, then it would hurt the ability for the grass seeds to germinate. I would give it till mid July and then put seeds down again and see if you get a better result. Soil temperatures are higher now so you should have much better success with germination. Let me know if I can help with anything else.
Great job! Have you been giving JB pointers on his new yard? Its starting to look great. (I'm next to his new home)
Hi John. Yep! I’ve been over there a few times. His lawn is coming along really nicely. One more top dress and it’ll be perfect. 😎
@@RonHenry I might need some secrets, mine was nice but has been going down hill for the last month. I think part of it is my reel mower needs to be tuned up.
Hey again, Ron. Just found this video about Spectracide after watching your Celcius/Certainty video. Do you recommend these two applications be done together, or one or the other? Thanks!
I would use Celsius / Certainty instead of Spectracide.
Lawn looks great, what do you do to control seed heads in your lawn?
Hi Robert. Primarily I rely on PGRs to really knock back the seed heads. Frequent mowing helps as well but PGR significantly reduces seed head production in Bermuda. I recommend either T-Nex or Tide Paclo 2SC.You can more learn about it here: ruclips.net/video/cbFqXziTcVo/видео.html
Ron Henry thanks I will give it a try.
Awesome. Let me know it works Robert. Thanks again.
Ron I back lapped my tru-cut and this made a world of difference. I kept getting a white haze a day after mowing thought it was primarily the seed heads but it turns out it was a dull reel mower. I been mowing every 2 day and you can’t tell I have any seed heads and the lawn looks amazing now!
Wow, great lawn, getting ready to seed after a storm passes by.
Burmada Arden 15.
Looking at the Allett mowers.
Where are you and what tyoe of grass do you 2 have ?
I will be watching...
We're in northeast Georgia in the Gainesville area. As far as grass, both lawns are Tifway 419 as the base. I've overseeded mine with Princess 77 and Arden 15. Allett makes a nice mower. 😎
@@RonHenry ok, didnt know you could overseed with arden 15, i heard they do it with blackjack.
I was in Braselton last year for the IMSA, race at road Atlanta.
Im right outside of new orleans.
Thanks, i just got the lawn/ grass bug..... im a golfer too
Lawn renovation, damn hard work ! Take care
Heya Walt. Yep. You can definitely overseed with it. It blends very well with Tifway 419 because the color and textures are somewhat similar. Lawn renovation is definitely a labor of love. Have to like being out in the yard if you're going to take it on. I used to play quite a bit of golf. I just can bring myself to hit a wedge off my turf! 😎👍
Which state is this ? Looks like you have some nice mountains there ? By the way awesome information on each second of this video. Thank you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🇨🇦
It’s Georgia Dave. No mountains that I’m aware of nearby but the area I live in is fairly hilly. Maybe that’s what gives the impression of mountains. I appreciate you watching. 🙏😎
Is there a granular out there that’s the equivalent to Spectracide? Unfortunately, Spectracide can not be shipped to TX. 😕
Hi Frankie385: If all you're looking for the pre-emergent properties, then this can work: golfcourselawn.store/products/yard-mastery-0-0-7-prodiamine-38-45lb If you're looking for a post emergent herbicide, then the liquid version of spectracide shown in this video should do the trick: ruclips.net/video/nzkpNlsKIro/видео.html Thanks for watching.
When is a good time to apply the weed stop? Does it matter? I assume once in the late winter and once in the late summer similar to pre emergent? Thanks for your time sir.
Hi Lucas. Whenever the weeds are actively growing. If you're using it as pre-emergent you'd want to apply in the fall and early spring before soil temps cross 50 - 55 degrees. If you're using it as post emergent (to kill active weeds) you'll want to ensure the weeds are damp so the product can stick to them. Let me know if I can help with anything else. 👍😎
@@RonHenry Thank you sir!
@@lucasjackson3410 no problem at all Lucas! Happy to help out. Let me know if there's anything else.
Hi Ron,
I'm working on renovating our lawn. Major leveling and putting down a nice fine blade Bermuda seed.
In areas that I have uncontrollable shade what type of grass would you suggest that would blend well? (color, blade thickness, ability to be cut at an inch?)
Hi Alex. Depending on how much shade you have, Zoysia could work. It won't blend well with Bermuda though. The grass blades are noticeably thicker and the color is different. It tolerates mowing at 1 inch just fine.
@@RonHenry thanks for the response Ron! I will look into zoysia and see if I can find one that will be close enough.
Hi Ron. My husband is planning on beginning his top dressing project this week. One question that he wants to ask is that is fertilized with Milogranite the first Saturday in June. Is it safe to use Milogranite again even if it has been about 6 weeks from the last time he laid that down? Or.what other options would you recommend? Thank you.
Yes he can use Milorganite again. A fertilizer that releases faster is better for top dressing though. This is a good option: golfcourselawn.store/products/24-0-6-flagship-3-iron-bio-nite-granular-lawn-fertilizer
What time of year should this be done? Yes please keep posting my lawn is worst then that lawn. I live in Chicago. How short should the lawn be cut? I have it on the third notch on my mower
Nims ter whenever the lawn is actively growing you're good to top dress. For warm season lawns, late spring until early August is fine. Really you want 3 - 4 weeks of growing following the top dressing for the lawn to recover well. In late spring is ideal because it gives you the most time for recovery and the weather is also a bit cooler. I would cut the lawn anywhere between .5" - 1" for warm season grasses. You don't want to scalp it too low because then there's really no grass to hold he same in place should there be heavy rainfall. Mowing a touch higher is especially a good idea when top dressing a slope. 😎👍
Any recommendations on reel mowers Ron?
Heya Nalaonagar. Are you looking for powered reel mowers or push reel mowers? For powered, the Tru Cut is a great option. You can pick them up pre-owned for between 650 - 1000 in good shape. For push reel mowers, the scotts 20 inch is my personal favorite.amzn.to/3fDytQc I've heard and seen great things from a Fiskar, but I've never personally used one. Let me know if I can help with anything else. 😎
Ron Henry thanks Ron. Probably powered!
Powered is the way to go! You'll really like the quality of cut that you get with it.
I was following a program and I wound up putting pre-emergent down first, then a week later put down fertilizer but I'm seeing weeds in my lawn already. I probably put the pre-emergent down too late. Soil temp is around 60 now. Am I in the clear to put the weed control down to kill the weeds that already grew in?
Yep you are Lawrence. If you have warm season grass, I highly recommend the Celsius and Certainty kit. Does a great job cleaning up weeds in warm season turf. golfcourselawn.store/products/celsius-and-certainty-herbicide-kit-with-surfactant-and-dye
@@RonHenry I have cool season grass. I live in the north east.
Hi Ron, I just bought a house near Macon Ga. Lawn is terrible. I got my soil test back from UGA and it looks like centipede or Bermuda will be my best options based on my soil. If I go with Bermuda, do you have a recommendation on which Bermuda seed I should buy? I was thinking of Royal Txd just because it was easier to find for me. Thanks
Depends on which type of Bermuda looks best to you Coleman. If I were starting a lawn from scratch with seed, my seed of choice would be Arden 15. It produces a gorgeous color, is more drought and cold tolerant. Just a great seed overall. You'll have to order it online though. Highly unlikely that anyone local is going to carry it. Amazon carries it here amzn.to/37auho1 If you want to see my method for applying the seed, check out my video on overseeding here: ruclips.net/video/ty4lc178cCI/видео.html Let me know which option you decide to go with. 😎👍
Ron, great video. You're lawn looks awesome. First video of yours I've seen. What grass type is your lawn?
Thanks glavotsky23. I'm excited about seeing the results with Alex's lawn. The grass started out as Tifway 419 Bermuda but has since been overseeded with a hybrid Bermuda seed called Princess 77. This year I've overseeded with the version of Princess 77 called Arden 15. What type of grass are you dealing with?
@@RonHenry beautiful grass. I thought it might be a version of Bermuda..looks great mowed so short. I've got a blend of midnight, bewitched and bluebank kbg. Currently keeping it at about 5/8 inch
Very nice glavotsky23. I bet it looks pretty good at 5/8. That's a good height for your grass type. How often do you have to fertilize your grass combination to keep it happy? I'm putting down some kind of fertilization monthly. Curious what others are doing.
@@RonHenry I've been doing monthly as well so far this year. It was a renovation i did last fall and I had a bunch of bare spots from deer damage. I'm probably going to back off the nitrogen going into the warmer weather just because kbg doesn't like the heat. I'll monitor and see how it goes. I have irrigation so hopefully that helps with the heat
Irrigation should help glavotsky. Have you tried any of the carbon soil amendments to improve the overall health of the soil? That should help produce stronger roots which will reduce stress in the turf as temps rise.
First Ginja!
Ginja?
Tell him to power wash the sidewalk, too. Which plant growth regulator do you use? Subscribed. Want to see the outcome.
Hi Methodical2. I use 2 different PGRs. Tide Paclo 2SC and T-Nex. I talk all about PGRs here: ruclips.net/video/ZXREwurnqKs/видео.html If you in only care about T-Nex, I made a separate video covering just it here: ruclips.net/video/cbFqXziTcVo/видео.html Are you considering PGR this year? I can't tell him to power wash his side man. I need to get mine in order first! 😂Thanks a ton for subscribing. Really appreciate it. Let me know if I can help out.😎
@@RonHenry Thanks for the PGR info. I am contemplating using a growth regulator, but not sure if it's worth it in the summer on cool season grass. I irrigate the lawn so the grass continues to grow in the summer, but not like the fall or early spring. I know you guys are down in the south with warm season grasses and the summer time is golden for your grasses. I just have to decide if it will be worth it for cool season grass in the summer; still thinking.
Mr ron lawn
You should pressure wash the side walk
Thanks for the tip MonkeyChopper. I'm getting increased comments about pressure washing the sidewalk. Will work on it. 😎👍
What’s a good mower to get for a small lawn?
Reel mower or rotary Nims ter?
Ron Henry rotary. My lawn is small I have a push reel but I have a hard time with it maybe I need to get it sharpened
How about an in ground sprinkler system?
We do that in part 6 of the series Blue-Eyed Beast. ruclips.net/video/1nPPziB0s7c/видео.html Check it out. 😎👍
Ron Henry my towns water supply runs from the town reservoir. However if I install the irrigation I am not allowed to use the towns water anymore and when I lose power I don’t have access to water. I own about 1.21 acres of land. Do you think it’s worth it?
Ehhh. I wouldn't do it personally. Losing access to water during power outages in order to have irrigation doesn't seem like an equal trade to me.
Do you need certain type of grass to get this finish? Here in the UK it's rare you see lawns like this or we're just not putting the effort in
Hi Yasin. You need either a warm season grass like Bermuda or Zoysia. Alternatively you can also get this look with Rye or Kentucky Bluegrass. In the UK, I imagine Rye is what you would use there. Outside of that, it’s simply putting in the work. This series shows you the process. If you’d like to see what goes into leveling a lawn, check this out: ruclips.net/video/AdB2HEUOEJg/видео.html Thanks for watching. 🙏😎
What grasses are you growing?
Arden 15 Bermuda and Princess 77 seed.
Question: It is forecast to rain everyday for the next 10 days, is this a good time to seed Bermuda? I’m in Florida so temperature is not an issue, just don’t want to drown the seeds.
More than than flooding the seeds, I'd be more concerned about them being washed away if your turf isn't level. If your lawn is relatively flat with good drainage, you should be fine. I think you guys are about to get rain from Cristobal right? If you can perhaps put a light layer of topsoil on top of the seeds to further give them something to hold on to, that might be helpful. It's hard to pass up on 10 days of free rain. 😎👍
Ron Henry Yes, rain from Cristobal. I did plan to top the seed with a sand lawn soil mix so they’re not exposed. So I’ll prep the soil and lay the seed and top it then cross my fingers. Like you said, free water - and a lot of it - is hard to pass up. Thanks for your input!
Best of luck man. Let me know how the project turns out! 😎👍
