Another great and informative video Ryan. You are the main reason a lot of my neighbors are stopping by to see how I improved my lawn so quickly. At first I take all the credit but then I point them out to your videos lol. 👍👍👍
@@hotcheesesoup9776 Nothing against Ryan, but he is an enthusiast, like Connor Ward.....guys like Allan and Pete, on top of being enthusiasts are actually professionals in this business with a lot of years of expertise. Ryan will admit to not really knowing what he was doing a few years ago, and is still learning, but he does a great job (even though I don't really care for the reel low cut).
Thank you thank you thank you! I'm coming up on week 4 after germination and these are the questions I had. I used Pete's TTTF and I'm amazed at the dark green and the germination rate. I am so thankful for the lawn care community on RUclips! This spring I am ordering a Lawn Box and I am about to order the candle to have over the winter here in KY! Thanks again for what you do!
I’m a fescue guy and I just renovated my side yard with weed pressure from neighbor about 300 sq ft with some ryegrass. Germinated in about 5 days! Now I’m taking over my neighbors yard for the sake of my own lawn lol🤟🏾.
Sharpening blades .... every time I did that, and I did try to keep the original angle, the cut quality suffered. I ended up just getting new original blades and using as is, without sharpening. What I am testing today (same mower as yours) is checking the RPMs and possibly increasing them. Learned a nice trick on you tube where after adjustment of governor spring, everyone says cut quality became awesome. Many videos on youtube on how to adjust the governor and Grass Daddy had a video on it as well.
Fescue's looking great. I just did a reno in my front yard with a monostand of 4th Millennium, and I'm loving it. Also, nice musical choice with Ben Rector. His Magic album is full of great 80s synth and 90s power ballad vibes.
Been a fan for a while now, but if there's one thing that always puts the icing on the cake with your videos is how you introduce me to some new songs! The Ben Rector song is going to be on my playlist for a while. Keep up the great work. You and Connor have definitely been an inspiration to me in getting really serious with my yard.
I think your yard is a great opportunity to collaborate with Pete at GCI. He is a master at tall turf and is getting into reel mowing which you have a great handle on ( better than the master of mustaches). Great video! As a professional lawn care provider you have taught me a lot on sissy grass maintenance! Thanks!
My dog can't wait to get back to marking the whole yard. But I'm going to fill in some gaps this weekend, so he has to wait another couple of weeks. I finally just built some portable ones out of cedar pickets and 2x4s It looks like I'm setting my yard for agility course. lol I'm glad he's on the small/medium side. 3 weeks ago, we had that hot dry week when the fires hit my town and then last week we had massive downpours. Back in the 80s this week. Rains will start again next week. That's the PNW for ya. Perfect grass growing season though.
Another great video with plenty of tips. You kept it simple and flowing, and easy to understand. I wish my mishaps on the lawn turned out as good as yours.
Renovated my lawn with tall fescue and it started germinating in some places after 3 days and now I’m on day 6 but I can’t see the green fuzzy things yet but hopefully next week I can
I have spent more money and time on my lawn this past year to improve it. Total is ~$600 so far, I was shocked to see that. Not sure what a lawn service costs, but doing it yourself gives way more satisfaction. Somedays just stare at it for a few minutes. Recent dethatch and overseed. Used Scott's Thick R Lawn. 5 weeks later pretty thick, even though i have not been able to spot a single blade of new grass. I even added more seed for front and sides, maybe just too dense? I keep it around 3.25 inches now. I bought the coated seeds, maybe go uncoated next time.
With KBG having a longer germination period does that mean you need to wait longer to mow? I over seeded with you KBG Ryegras mix. Its been 2.5 weeks but my grass is up to 3.5-4" with all the KBG not fully germinated...
Nice clear information. You’ve inspired me to improve my lawn here in the south of Sweden. Mine still needs work next spring but I’m happy with all my work for now. October starts here it’s going to get colder and the grass will rest and me too,. I am still mowing now mind you. Keep up with your excellent videos Ryan.
I don’t know what I would do without your channel. I have learned so much. Here in northwestern Illinois it is supposed to get down to 37 degrees overnight. I have some very young seedlings that I’m worried about. Do you think I should cover it? It’s a couple of 15x20 areas In front of the house and bigger in the back. I’m afraid they still die.
I should have provided some more Info. The areas I seeded some were bare ground some was overseeded and I covered all the bare areas with some weed free straw. So the seed is “covered” but I got a late start and some of this seed has just germinated and some seedlings are just barely poking out of the straw.. I’m going to just be miserable if they die. Thanks for your time Ryan.
Great content. Appreciate the explanation on bag v. mulch v. side discharge. Have been wondering about that since many of your videos you bag the clippings.
Do you have any friends with a lot of trees on their property? I have a ton and it's very difficult this time of year to overseed or just seed, because of the amount of leaves that fall. I don't know if I should try and get them up with a lawn sweeper (seems not like a good idea, because of the new sprouts) or to just side discharge them. It's just difficult all around to grow grass with so many. I'd love it if you did a segment on their property or something showing how they get their grass growing or just helping them get it going. This is my second season here at my house, but the first I'm actually seeding and fertilizing.
Trying to get a tall fescue yard now. Couple hundred dollars of top grade seed and hours of prep work all washed away with last night's storm. The struggle of growing grass on a slight slope is real
The new grass is coming in nicely. I’m doing the same in Georgia now. Got a question though, if the best time to seed is fall, how do you keep all the leaves off it? Cant rake, it’ll damage the seedlings. Can you blow?
Hi guys, i need some advice. I will mow my new lawn for the first time. I have a lots of grass free places (bald spots). What should i do first. Overseed -> Mow -> put some fertilizer -> watter. Or some different order? Thank you very much for Advice. And i must write. My soil is hard as ****. Lots of sunshine and i have cracks everywhere. Thx
I recently did a complete lawn renovation in Maryland with Tall Fescue. Unfortunately, I have Quack Grass coming up in the new grass and I'm very frustrated. I have been researching ways to try to control or eradicate the persistent weed and it looks to be a daunting task. Do you have any suggestions how to kill off or at least control it in a newly seeded lawn without killing the new grass? It is late September so I have limited time to make a dent in it this Fall. I just cut the new grass for the first time so I am thinking about putting down some more starter fertilizer and overseeding some of the thinner areas to try to thicken up the new grass as much as possible heading into the Winter. Hoping to thicken up the tall fescue to squeeze out the Quack Grass for the Spring and Summer of 2022.
I know ur upset about ur blue grass but I think this is a great opportunity for you to show ppl what havin different varieties of grass i think it’s awesome to see blue in the front and fescue in the back and maybe some Bermuda in the future so you can show everyone all varieties of grass. by the way I’m a fescue guy and I’m excited to see what the future holds for ur backyard so keep up the great content and info for all of us
Question: What are your thoughts on dormant seeding? I reseeded my lawn 3 weeks ago (in Des Moines) and it's coming in pretty well. There are definitely some thinner spots that will need to be overseeded, but I think it's getting too late in the season here to overseed now. Do you think it's better to seed just before it starts snowing and let the seed lay dormant throughout the winter months, or is it better to wait until next spring to fill in the spots that need to be overseeded? Thanks!
Great info. I only have a zero turn mower with a side discharge. I am about 1 1/2 weeks into a dethatching, aerating, and overseeding with Tractor Supply Kentucky Bluegrass 31 coated. I put down a starter fertilizer about a week after seeding. Before doing all this I cut the lawn down to 2 1/2 inches. We live in western NJ near PA. The grass is probably around 4 inches or so now. Would you consider cutting it now and cut it down to 2 1/2 again?
Lawn Care companies (mine included) cut Fescue at 3.5-4.25", for me personally, I cut my clients yards at 3.5" in the spring/fall and 3.75" in the summer.
Hey Ryan, I overseeded for the first time 2 weeks ago and my grass came in very nicely. The grass about 2.75" tall. I did a test cut at a high setting. One thing i'm noticing is the grass gets bent over where the wheels went and my foot steps. Will that baby grass perk back up ?
I dropped the SS1000 TTTF seeds on Sept 27. It's 9 days old now. 2 days ago and the week before it, air temp was averaging 50f. Soil temp was higher like 53f. I haven't seen any germinations until today. Temp yesterday was above 60s, WOOHOO! Today's temp was above 70s! I'm just not sure if the young TTTF grass will survive our winter since I was thinking it might not be able to grow deeper roots. What are your thoughts? We always experience subzero temps in January and February. Somewhere between -10F and -20F is normal in our area.
If I have Kentucky bluegrass now can I oversees with Tall Fescue? Also will it survive in eastern WA. We got snow in winters and high 90’s sometime 100* in summer. I have a in ground sprinkler system on irrigation so water isn’t a issue.
i did an overseed on my yard and i did ryegrass and bluegrass the rye has popped still waiting on the bluegrass should i keep watering the grass four times a day till the bluegrass pops?
I used penn mulch which keeps the seed moist but it also has a starter ferlizier but the mfg says you can put down starter fertilizer too...??? Odd right? Should i still put down a starter?
It came out great! I applied scotts starter fertilizer. My grass is at about 2 inches now day 12. Should I apply another application or when should I apply a regularly fertilizer? Like scotts turf builder lawn food.
I don't really have one go to at this point. Some have physical borders and some are more of a natural edge. I don't trim edge all of that every time but just as it looks like it needs it
Hello Ryan, I live in upstate NY. I have done 3 applications for weed control since spring. I need to do a few things, and wonder what order to do it in? Fall Feed/fertilizer, dethatch, overseed. ( I bought an electric dethatcher you used a while ago, haven’t used it yet) Love your videos, Thank you!
what do you guys do to keep the grass from dying in the wheel ruts made from the mower? Every time I seed a new area the wheel marks become a dead valley.
More on the lawn stryper here - ryanknorrlawncare.com/product/lawn-stryper-lawn-striping-system/
I seeded at the end of august. I’ve to reseed about 5-10%. The rest is nice and thick. Do I still need to wait to mow?
Difference between this striper performance wise with the Checkmate? Easier to remove?
@@milanjurich1526 The Checkmate is far away the best striper available. I dont remove mine ever. I have a large s-hook that clips to the striper and I hang it from the handle cross bar. Then when I need it again I just undo the hook. You can use tie-wire, I just happened to have a big enough s-hook.
@danny shannon I’ve to reseed some bare patches. I just use my push mow and went around the new areas
That first mow is always a great feeling. I can't wait to mow my newly renovated back lawn.
Dang bro, those footprint in the fresh cut are deep. You know, short up front and long in back is essentially a yard mullet.....it’s party time 🤘🏻
Chris Voit yard Mullet. The Billy Ray Cyrus 😆

Water enough to keep the seed from drying out but once the rye is there, it holds some moisture better so just watch it closely
I used penn mulch which keeps the seed moist but it also has a starter ferlizier but the mfg says you can put down starter fertilizer too...??? Odd right? Should i still put down a starter?
Now that you got the first mow in, how smooth was it? Was that leveling machine better than doing it by hand?
