Just wanted to say I have a killer backyard now and I've got you and these videos to thank, bud. This might sound hyperbolic, but it's nuts to me that I watched all this stuff for free, from home and then just...followed it. There's a lot of bad crap going on in the world but if I'm being a glass-half full kinda guy, I'm still in awe of what is available at my fingertips. Thanks, Ryan!
Great video. I have a tough time being patient with something I’m not sure is going to work or not so hearing someone else say just trust the process and if you do everything I’m telling you it will work out is really important to me. I’ve watched my neighbors till or cover their lawn with top soil and try to re plant grass with awful results. I’m being patient to learn what to do before I start but if I wasn’t watching these videos and hearing “be patient” over and over I’d have a hard time after doing all the work and spending all the money believing that it’s going to turn out well.
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.
Late spring this year we had a sewer line break in our backyard. Got a good patch of dirt that is now weeds. Waiting for then Temps to drop here in Iowa!
Purchased a bag of your Elite rye seed. Planning a full renovation of my front yard. Seeing how great yours looks, if mine is half as good I'll be ecstatic!
I will be doing some over seeding. Probably go all fescue. I have an area really thin out after so much of it just laid down. I always have issues on this side. Its a small strip south side. 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. This race never ends !!
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
So cool Ryan. This morning I tried to daisy chain 2 rotary pulse sprinklers and found my water pressure won’t support this. Two gear driven sprinkler heads do work however so going to give that a go. Got a tuna can measuring the output. Cheers!
I sprayed Roundup over two weeks ago, scalped it down and started topdressing some spots. This week I will finish leveling and then fallowing. Dropping SS1100 KBG blend (ordered it back in the spring). I will be reel mowing the backyard and I’m super excited.
Recently sprayed the lawn with weed control for the second time (stubborn crabgrass and wild violet). Excited cause seems like perfect timing based on your video! Going to do some overseeding on what we seeded this spring. Thanks for the info!
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.
Has to be one of your best videos yet. Nicely timed so people can actually prepare in time. Too bad seed seems scarce this year. I wanted some bluegrass midnight to overseed my 1 year old lawn but they've been out of stock
My man thank you for imparting your knowledge! This is so helpful. Thanks to you my yard already looks great. I have a few spots I have already sprayed out due to crabgrass. I am looking forward to my overseeding this late summer. Keep up your good work and again thank you!
Tip for people is Peat moss is helpful not only in its capabilities of holding great moisture but telling you when it needs water.. It will be reddish when thirsty and dark brown when good and wet.. I use peat moss over straw for many reasons better moisture an no weed seeds no clean up mess..
Great video! I’m looking forward to getting to work to make my lawn look great this fall! That lawn leveling tool would be a great help, if you’re thinking about doing a giveaway, choose me! Lol
Thanks for the help and awesome content Ryann...really appreciate it and please keep the videos coming...any other tips or thoughts are greatly appreciated
I have GCI cool blue tttf in my backyard and it has really struggled this summer. If I have to water it regularly then I my has well match it with my Kentucky bluegrass front yard.
I'm noticing you kept your hair long this season. I told you when you had the mullet comp with Connor that it looked good longer!🤪 Love your videos. A long time subscriber. Learned a lot from you.
I wish I could pull out cords that long. My soil in Jersey is mostly clay and rocks. I put the soil prob in and I am lucky to get 2 inches before hitting a dead stop. Even if the soil is wet.
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.
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.
I'm hoping that the Landzie orders don't overdue it for them. I ordered my compost & peat moss spreader back in May and it was back ordered then. I still don't have a confirmed delivery date, and am hoping to be able to get it in time for my overseeding in August.
Hey Ryan..I am thankful for the longer description of lawn care that you provide. I’m a beginner working on my lawn in central Texas along with the high heat this summer working with the tall fescue under the tree. Thinking about applying more overseas to the whole lawn what do suggest?
Wow, this video wants me to do a complete lawn renovation, which, after the last time, I said I would never do it again, so I have been over-seeding. Unfortunately over-seeding results are less than desirable because the existing lawn has so many undesirable grasses, especially bentgrasss. My last renovation about 25 years ago. was so labor-intensive it turned me off to ever wanting to do that again...so I just lived with the lawn the way it was. My previous renovation involved using a sod-cutter to remove the previous lawn, hauling the sod away, bringing in topsoil, leveling, seeding...etc. All of which I did myself. The method that you show seems so easy (comparatively) that I might just do it. I only question if a lawn rake will cut the sod enough to give the seed the airy soil that it needs?
Great video, Ryan! 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!
Awesome presentation and thanks. I had put new sod in April which has kind of settled but the grass is not healthy. The soil is clayey so not sure how the sod will pick up and establish roots. Should I overseed with fertilizer then put topsoil ?
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.
QUESTION: With the aggressive Fall program of 0.5 pound, every week, can you do that AFTER OVERSEEDING?! I had bare spots and not so thick of a lawn, so over-seeded/fertilized late September... shall I now apply 0.5lbs Nitrogen a week (our weather is still warm)?!
Great vid! I have a situation where I’d like to overseed, but have a lot of weeds. Do I get rid of weeds now, in the fall, and plant grass in spring, or do both now? Thx😣
A couple questions .. How long do you keep your dogs off the lawn after applying Tenacity? Does morning dew or rain a couple days require pets to stay off lawn until the grass is dry?
Hello Ty for content, im new to laen care just bought my home one yar ago its half weeds half grass cool season here, want to overseed to get the patchy look gone KBG 😊 does aeration have to be done its kinda compact in high traffic areas. 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.
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.
Sir, I don’t have words to say how helpful this video was. So, can you please tell me how to deal with hard rain when I just put seed out. I have a big lawn that is almost 100% crabgrass and clover. I normally would kill or pull out all the gloriously healthy crabgrass and replant seeds. We’re still 3 months from first frost. Should I actually just leave them in and overseed my weed lawn with your seeds so that my seeds don’t get washed away? when the new grass is a little older and the crabgrass and clovers and wild violets starts to go dormant, just rake them out? Then use pre emergent in early spring. I’m worried that if I kill it all now and put out seeds they all will sprout up together and the crabgrass with choke the new grass seeds. I can’t spray with a pre emergent can I?
If your 'lawn' is almost all weeds i would spray it all down with glyphosate about two weeks before seeding. Then follow the new lawn renovation portion of the video
Hi. I have some crab grass on my lawn. Would i be able to use Tenacity to kill the crab grass, and then manual aerate + overseed/fertilize myself? There are some heavy green patches of grass (looks very health) and then brown spots.
I just tried to top dress my yard with soil. I however live on a slope. We just got a downpour of rain and I’m wondering how to go about fixing all the ruts that I now have. Please help!
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.
May be too late to put in a question --but when overseeding with a KBG/Perennial Rye mix, how long, if at all, do we need to stay off the lawn? We have flower gardens we hand water every day, so need to walk on the grass to do that.
How much to have you come to Long Island and save my lawn? I dont know if I should renovate or overseed...The main section I want to redo completely, the smaller sections are OK...It was SO great at the beginning of the year and has gone to complete sh!t! I may have to admit I have no idea what I am doing... I throw myself at your mercy... ;-) Love the vids...
What if I hate my soil because it’s mostly clay? Should I still do the same process but bring in topsoil or compost in a solid layer, level, seed, and peat to cover seed?
Phenomenally timed! I have a whole lot of construction in my backyard finishing up soon and I'll be laying down 4500 sq ft worth of lawn! Trying to figure out the earliest date I can do it without totally screwing myself over with heat. Any suggestions?
Hey Ryan love your videos help me improve immensely my lawn. I live in Canada and was wondering if you had a Canadian distributor that i could use to import your product. Thanks
So I did a soil test and it came back with my phosphorus really high and a deficiency in potassium, moving forward to a overseed in my yard soon should I still put down starter fertilizer on the entire lawn..since that's high in phosphorus?
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!
So what is the exact sequence when aerating and overseeding and top dressing.?? Is this correct? 1-aerate 2-seed 3- top dressing with Loam 4- apply starter fertilizer 5-water in I always leave the soil pieces that come out when aerating. Please advise thanks
Hi Ryan (or anyone else), I followed you in the last 2 years or so and this autumn I plan to have a overseeding in my lawn, problem is that I live in EU (Romania to be more precise) so if you have any suggestion of where I can get seeds, fertilizers and any other products for the lawn it would help e a lot. Thank you!

I personally love these longer-format videos on Sundays.
Took me a good 20 hours to make this
@@ryanknorrlawncare I'm sure! It's very appreciated.
Very much appreciated@
Just wanted to say I have a killer backyard now and I've got you and these videos to thank, bud.

Thanks, Ryan!
Hey Ryan.......I followed your steps and Renovated my front lawn last year and it turned out AMAZING
I’m excited and anxious about my first lawn reno. Been planning everything since spring. Sprayed glyphosate 3 days ago. There’s no turning back now.
Helps to have a guy that knows his stuff, especially since I'm also from central Iowa. Great content and very clear. Much appreciated!
Perfect timing on the video! Just when I needed it 😀 New home, lots of planting. Cortez Colorado
👋
Good luck from Colorado Springs 👍
First Aussie 😁. Ryan, an encyclopaedia of lawncare knowledge dealt out today mate. 🤠
Finally! Been waiting for this.
Great video. I have a tough time being patient with something I’m not sure is going to work or not so hearing someone else say just trust the process and if you do everything I’m telling you it will work out is really important to me.

Great job on this video Ryan. Very informative, right to the point, and covering nearly all scenarios us average homeowners would be facing.
One of your best segments. Very informative. Thanks.

You might consider pre-germinating your seed to help get it established quicker.
Late spring this year we had a sewer line break in our backyard. Got a good patch of dirt that is now weeds. Waiting for then Temps to drop here in Iowa!
It is good practice.
havent even started watching the video but thank god this is out i need to start planning!
Purchased a bag of your Elite rye seed. Planning a full renovation of my front yard. Seeing how great yours looks, if mine is half as good I'll be ecstatic!
Perfect timing just had a concrete pad put in side of my house was destroyed so I think I will just reseed this thanks
I just bought the lawn leveler. Thanks for the sale price. Can’t wait to start putting it to work.
I appreciate the support!
Thanks!
Thanks for the support!
I will be doing some over seeding. Probably go all fescue. I have an area really thin out after so much of it just laid down. I always have issues on this side. Its a small strip south side. 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.

So cool Ryan. This morning I tried to daisy chain 2 rotary pulse sprinklers and found my water pressure won’t support this. Two gear driven sprinkler heads do work however so going to give that a go. Got a tuna can measuring the output. Cheers!
awesome video! so helpful! loving your channel!
Great detailed video as always. Looking forward too seeing how these helpful tips improve my yard. Thanks!
Killer video. Look forward to following you in the future
Im going to renovate mines. I killed the grass and weeds by mistakes so my lawn this summer was horrible. I decided to renovate maybe in Feb 2023....
Thanks for the coupon on the peat moss spreader. Have several yards this year to overseed and this will be very helpful
Thanks Ryan...nice work on the videos! I have about a 450 sq ft to renovate this year...my first real test.
Great overview video! Purchased a Lawn Level last year, and was very happy using it this spring.
I sprayed Roundup over two weeks ago, scalped it down and started topdressing some spots. This week I will finish leveling and then fallowing. Dropping SS1100 KBG blend (ordered it back in the spring). I will be reel mowing the backyard and I’m super excited.
I also did a test post of the seed and 10 days in, it is 1/4”.
Awesome
Recently sprayed the lawn with weed control for the second time (stubborn crabgrass and wild violet). Excited cause seems like perfect timing based on your video! Going to do some overseeding on what we seeded this spring. Thanks for the info!
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.
Plenty of weed seeds in that soil too that I would prefer to do this method
True. Just spray those two weeks down the line. Your method works. Also, it’s the correct way to do it that way. Takes forever though lol.
Getting ready for a fall overseeding in Pennsylvania using perennial ryegrass. Love this grass and by the way great video! 👍
That was a great video Ryan!
This is fantastic. Perfect timing for my backyard reno that I've been wanting to do. This quick rundown was perfect. Thank you Ryan!
How did you know I needed to see this. Thanks bro!
Hello Ryan.......good point to start something that i havent done in my lawn yet....👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great tips Ryan. I swear one day I will actually do a full reno🤣
Has to be one of your best videos yet. Nicely timed so people can actually prepare in time. Too bad seed seems scarce this year. I wanted some bluegrass midnight to overseed my 1 year old lawn but they've been out of stock
I've got plenty of blue but not specific cultivars. I'm really happy with the stuff we carry that is in my test plot
Great video! Was planning on doing an overseed this fall so this is great. Thanks!
My man thank you for imparting your knowledge! This is so helpful. Thanks to you my yard already looks great. I have a few spots I have already sprayed out due to crabgrass. I am looking forward to my overseeding this late summer. Keep up your good work and again thank you!

Propicanozole after overseeing helps speed up germination as well as limit fungal problems from multiple waterings per day.
Good video. . . I’m ready for fall season
Great video! I’m looking forward to getting to work to make my lawn look great this fall! That lawn leveling tool would be a great help, if you’re thinking about doing a giveaway, choose me! Lol
How about a short cut on the existing lawn before over seeding? I'm planning to take my TTTF down to 2" before overseedig to reduce competition
If you can cut it lower, go for it.
I am doing the same. Might even go 1.5” on mine.
As low as you can get it
Great recap on everything.
Thanks for the help and awesome content Ryann...really appreciate it and please keep the videos coming...any other tips or thoughts are greatly appreciated
Have you ever used an overseeder instead of a broadcast spreader? Do you prefer the spreader more?
I have GCI cool blue tttf in my backyard and it has really struggled this summer. If I have to water it regularly then I my has well match it with my Kentucky bluegrass front yard.
Great tutorial!
Excellent video Ryan, what's the background song?
Ryan, do you have any videos on how to deal with dogs and heavy foot traffic
any tips on bird deterrents when overseeding?
Great video Ryan
Upping the odds for giveaways
I'm noticing you kept your hair long this season. I told you when you had the mullet comp with Connor that it looked good longer!🤪 Love your videos. A long time subscriber. Learned a lot from you.
It's way too hot but I'll suffer through
Great video. Any tips on how to control earthworm mounds during a reno?
hi do you have any videos on bermuda grass?
I wish I could pull out cords that long. My soil in Jersey is mostly clay and rocks. I put the soil prob in and I am lucky to get 2 inches before hitting a dead stop. Even if the soil is wet.

In for answer 🇨🇦
I'm hoping that the Landzie orders don't overdue it for them. I ordered my compost & peat moss spreader back in May and it was back ordered then. I still don't have a confirmed delivery date, and am hoping to be able to get it in time for my overseeding in August.
I believe that shipment of spreaders was coming in very soon

I’d use something mechanical. A dethatcher for light stuff, or a power rake set low for tough stuff.
Great video, Ryan!
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!
Awesome presentation and thanks.
I had put new sod in April which has kind of settled but the grass is not healthy. The soil is clayey so not sure how the sod will pick up and establish roots.
Should I overseed with fertilizer then put topsoil ?
great video
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.
Have you tried out the groomer cartridge for the Swardman yet. Wonder if that would be a good step for opening up the canopy for applications.
QUESTION: With the aggressive Fall program of 0.5 pound, every week, can you do that AFTER OVERSEEDING?! I had bare spots and not so thick of a lawn, so over-seeded/fertilized late September... shall I now apply 0.5lbs Nitrogen a week (our weather is still warm)?!
Hi Ryan, can you aerate then slice seed an existing lawn?
Great vid! I have a situation where I’d like to overseed, but have a lot of weeds. Do I get rid of weeds now, in the fall, and plant grass in spring, or do both now?
Thx😣
Can you just use a slit seeder and place the new seed through the existing (non sprayed) grass? Any pros or cons to that method?
A couple questions ..
How long do you keep your dogs off the lawn after applying Tenacity? Does morning dew or rain a couple days require pets to stay off lawn until the grass is dry?
Hello Ty for content, im new to laen care just bought my home one yar ago its half weeds half grass cool season here, want to overseed to get the patchy look gone KBG 😊 does aeration have to be done its kinda compact in high traffic areas. 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.
Hi Ryan , was wondering what you thought of Zoysia grass ?
Thanks again brother
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.
If we’re overseeding with a KBG/Fescue mix what would a generic lb per 1000sq/ft be?
That will depend on the percentages of kbg to fescue...
Great info!
Sir, I don’t have words to say how helpful this video was. So, can you please tell me how to deal with hard rain when I just put seed out. I have a big lawn that is almost 100% crabgrass and clover. I normally would kill or pull out all the gloriously healthy crabgrass and replant seeds. We’re still 3 months from first frost. Should I actually just leave them in and overseed my weed lawn with your seeds so that my seeds don’t get washed away? when the new grass is a little older and the crabgrass and clovers and wild violets starts to go dormant, just rake them out? Then use pre emergent in early spring. I’m worried that if I kill it all now and put out seeds they all will sprout up together and the crabgrass with choke the new grass seeds. I can’t spray with a pre emergent can I?
If your 'lawn' is almost all weeds i would spray it all down with glyphosate about two weeks before seeding. Then follow the new lawn renovation portion of the video
Hi. I have some crab grass on my lawn. Would i be able to use Tenacity to kill the crab grass, and then manual aerate + overseed/fertilize myself?
There are some heavy green patches of grass (looks very health) and then brown spots.
I just tried to top dress my yard with soil. I however live on a slope. We just got a downpour of rain and I’m wondering how to go about fixing all the ruts that I now have. Please help!
Man I hope you see this...when you sand level can you overseed as well...and if so, sand first, then seed and cover with peat moss?

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.
May be too late to put in a question --but when overseeding with a KBG/Perennial Rye mix, how long, if at all, do we need to stay off the lawn? We have flower gardens we hand water every day, so need to walk on the grass to do that.
Great video
How much to have you come to Long Island and save my lawn? I dont know if I should renovate or overseed...The main section I want to redo completely, the smaller sections are OK...It was SO great at the beginning of the year and has gone to complete sh!t! I may have to admit I have no idea what I am doing... I throw myself at your mercy... ;-) Love the vids...
What if I don't know my main grass type and it's overgrown with weeds and there's another grass type mixed in? I'm in a warm season area.
What if I hate my soil because it’s mostly clay? Should I still do the same process but bring in topsoil or compost in a solid layer, level, seed, and peat to cover seed?
Would you recommend using Hydretain at time of overseeding if you're not using peat moss to cover?
A physical covering of the seed is best
Phenomenally timed! I have a whole lot of construction in my backyard finishing up soon and I'll be laying down 4500 sq ft worth of lawn! Trying to figure out the earliest date I can do it without totally screwing myself over with heat. Any suggestions?
September when the temperature breaks down into the 70's during the day and 50's at night
Hey Ryan love your videos help me improve immensely my lawn. I live in Canada and was wondering if you had a Canadian distributor that i could use to import your product. Thanks
We don't have any availability to do that at this point. Sorry
So I did a soil test and it came back with my phosphorus really high and a deficiency in potassium, moving forward to a overseed in my yard soon should I still put down starter fertilizer on the entire lawn..since that's high in phosphorus?
You won't really need it in that case
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!
So what is the exact sequence when aerating and overseeding and top dressing.?? Is this correct?
1-aerate
2-seed
3- top dressing with Loam
4- apply starter fertilizer
5-water in
I always leave the soil pieces that come out when aerating.
Please advise thanks
Hi Ryan (or anyone else), I followed you in the last 2 years or so and this autumn I plan to have a overseeding in my lawn, problem is that I live in EU (Romania to be more precise) so if you have any suggestion of where I can get seeds, fertilizers and any other products for the lawn it would help e a lot.
Thank you!
I’m new to the lawn care recently bought jog house. What do you do for your dogs when you treat the grass?
