He showed his problems in the past. I give him a lot of credit for that. Good show. You got me.
Thanks. I strive to be as transparent as possible. We all have issues and my lawn is far from perfect. Hopefully my struggles may help someone else. Thanks for watching!
If you was my neighbor, you might see me sleeping on your lawn😁 Nice video.!

Thanks man! Its far from perfect and has its flaws. Its a constant work in progress but it continues to improve year over year.
I’m doing a 1000 sf bare dirt reno with Resilience TTTF, which contains some MVS cultivars. Looking at your lawn gets me jazzed for the fall. Great stuff!
Nice!!! I hope you are satisfied with your results next spring.
Looks great Cam!! Thanks for the video!
You bet! Thanks for watching 🙏🏾!
Bro lawn looking clean man, strips on point !! Keep putting in that work !!
Thanks man! Gotta keep putting in the work.
young man this is one of the best yards i have ever seen bro Congrats
I appreciate that 🙏🏾! Its taken some work to get it here but it's doing pretty good right now.
My goodness that lawn is gorgeous!
Thanks!
This is probably one of the best looking lawns I’ve ever seen! What grass is this?
Thanks 👍🏾! This is TTTF and 365SS KBG from MVS.
That nice fence compliments your beautiful lawn.
What a gorgeous back yard.
Thanks I appreciate that. I am consistently working to make this our little backyard oasis.
Who supplies this Mountain Dew cultivars in The great state of North Carolina?
@@vinceatkinson7016 im not sure, I would check with you local turf/landscape supplier and ask. Or you can order online from Heritage PPG or United Seeds.
Looking good bro, keep up the great work...💯🔥👍🏾
Appreciate it!
Beautiful home, landscape and lawn. Great video and love the seed, gonna check if it’s available in Canada. Can’t believe the strips and no striping kit, amazing work:)
Thanks! I hope that you are able to get or find the seed in Canada. Thanks for watching 🙏🏾!
The grass is looking beautiful.
Thanks 👍🏾!
Subscribed. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. I have been dealing with brown patch on my fescue and finally using fungicide.
This time of year if you don't want fungus in your cool season lawn you almost have to use a fungicide or deal with the damage and repair/recover in the fall.
Your lawn looks awesome thanks again brother
No problem 💪🏾🌱!
Great video. Beautiful lawn. Well done Sir!
Thanks and thanks for watching 🙏🏾!
Lawn is looking excellent sir! I would agree that the newer cultivars do look quite good at lower mowing heights.
Thanks man! I like the look of the newer cultivars at lower HOC.
Love this. Great channel. Watching from Calgary.
Thanks 👍🏾!
Just subscribed. Thanks for your videos. Im new and learning about my lawn
Awesome! Thank you!

Beautiful yard. Great job!
Thank you 🙏🏾!
First video I saw and smashed that subscribe button. Great video and beautiful backyard.
Thanks man, I appreciate that 🙏🏾! Glad you enjoyed the video.
The best time to water a lawn is usually very early in the morning, around 4-6 am. This is the time when the relative humidity (% moisture air mass can hold) is at its highest (meaning it can't hold much if any additional moisture) and the air temperature is at the lowest point (near the dew point temperature). This means that the air can't hold much more in additional moisture. When this occurs, you'll have very little evaporation happening so this is the ideal item to water the lawn. This window is fairly tight and even in the 7-9 am timeframe you'll be losing water to evaporation since the relative humidity and air temperature can swing quite a bit in a matter of an hour.
Thats good information to know. My irrigation starts at 3am and is done by 7. What I stated in the video is the time you want to have your irrigation completed not starting. So we are in agreement that the start time is going to be very early to be completed by the timeframe stated. Thanks for watching.
Great video. Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Lawn looks great brother. I get melting out and leaf spot every year in my TTTF
Same here. I had it creap in early in the season when it was cloudy and still kinda mild/cool temps.
Damn. That is one NICE lawn!!!
I appreciate that 🙏🏾!
I'm new here man, love your vids. Damn that lawn is killer!!! Going to be watching everything you put out.
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
It looks great 👍.
Thanks 👍
Dude not trying to hog comments but had to say something. I noticed exactly what you're saying. In April it was very windy and cool and I was getting stress in the lawn. I was so worried about summer because I knew with the hot temps the lawn would stress BUT like you said with the humidity I noticed it did not start to turn as fast. You confirmed my suspicion, thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Low humidity and windy conditions can dry out the soil and plant quickly.
That was a very informative and interesting video. Thank you for sharing it. It made me subscribe to your channel. Thank you.
Im glad the video was informative. Thanks for subscribing 🙏🏾!
Gorgeous lawn dude! 😎👍

Thanks man! Hopefully it was helpful.
Great job....
Very informative....
Glad it was informative for you! Thanks for watching.
Looking great my lawn is looking its best it has ever looked in tbe sumer. Im hoping to keep doing what i been doing and mabey skip the overseed and go straight nitrogen blitz and pre e in the fall
Sounds Ike a plan. Im glad to hear that you are having your best season. Thanks for always watching 🙏🏾!
Beautiful lawn man!

Thank you and thanks for watching and subscribing!
If the measure of how seriously you should take lawn tips is the beauty of the person's lawn giving the tips, then... everyone with a lawn should listen to you because your lawn is immaculate.
After my reno last fall, I have GCI seed on my front lawn and it's looking really good as well. Haven't done my back yard yet, but you are seriously getting me to consider a switch to Mountain View
I appreciate that 🙏🏾! Its not perfect by any means but its looking pretty good right now. I love Mountain View Seed cultivars from the time that I discovered them. I haven't planted anything else since.
Great video! I am a new subscriber to the channel!🎉 You have great content!🔥🔥
Thanks for subbing and thanks for watching 🙏🏾!
Lawn looks good bro 👋🏾
Appreciate it man 🙏🏾🌱!
Great content 💪🏾💪🏾
Thanks!
Fantastic lawn bro. Keep it going. I’m trying to get there.
Peace.
Much appreciated! Just keep working on it and be consistent.
I hear you. It’s rough. I got all the tools (system, seed, etc) but its difficult to keep it all in order.
Sweet Lawn!
Thanks!
🤟... looks awesome bro!
Thanks 👍🏾!
What a great video
Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏾! Thanks for watching!
As always your lawn looks fantastic and better than your neighbors. I will be performing some leveling with sand and top soil in the next few weeks. In efforts for a last August/early fall overseed project. Stay safe my brother.
Sounds like a plan, I hope it goes well. Leveling projects are some work.
Dude you lawn liks awesome !!
Thanks 👍🏾!
Beautiful
Thank you!
Great video
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
I think I need to bite the bullet and pay for an irrigation system to be installed. Your lawn is on point, sir. Love your landscaping for the beds as well. Def will be picking up the Mountainview cultivars.
Thanks I appreciate that 🙏🏾. Irrigation is very important. Even if you do not install an in-ground system, you need some way of watering.
Well it helps when the lawn is mostly shaded and this is especially true for cool season lawns.
Of course shade provides relief to the lawn but that also comes with a different set of challenges also with moisture management and disease pressure. I actually have a video that shows the downside of growing grass in the shade.
@@ElevatedLawnscapesIndeed. However, disease pressure and water management are constant issues even when fescue is located in the sun. Fescue grown in mostly shaded conditions reduces or eliminates one of the main variables, heat. Fescue is labeled a cool season grass for a reason.
@@dalewiley9208 Growing in sun you have more control of moisture management due to the grass being able to dry out after rainfall or irrigation. Whereas in shady areas moisture is held for longer which is a double edge sword when we cannot control rainfall. It can be debated and opinions can be spoken but there is supporting evidence of why sod farms are in full sun and the performance of their turf. Speaking with 2 of those farmers in my area their best turf comes out of areas in full sun and not the shady areas. Fescue will do just fine in heat with proper cultural practices. There are times in the season where its going thrive and then there times when it is going to just survive...its the natural cycle. Right now fescue is just surviving which is why I call this time the 4th qtr, its just trying to make it to cooler temps of the fall.
@@ElevatedLawnscapesYou are correct when you say it can be debated. In my personal experience the portion of my fescue lawn that is shaded always performs better than the sections in direct sunlight when temperatures are consistently in the high 80s and 90s for extended periods. Your mileage may vary. However, the climate in Maryland is generally cooler than that in south side Virginia. Your advice should take geographical differences into consideration.
Dang man. You got the best lawn on RUclips. Making Knorr's yard look like a dumpster fire.
🤣🤣🤣 I appreciate that man, I really do! But I will say Knorr just planted his lawn 2 months or so ago, the maturity of grass is a huge factor. He will have that lawn whipped into shape come this fall and especially next spring. It is great to even be in conversation Knorr's lawn 🙏🏾💪🏾🌱!
Yep, MVS themselves recommend 2-3 inch cut and down to 1 inch with extra care involved.
Yep, which is different from the "normal" recommendation for fescue.
@@ElevatedLawnscapes Definitely.
Nicest lawn I’ve seen. We’ll done
Thanks 🙏🏾!
Very nice yard Bro
Thanks 👍🏾!
Hard truth…I didn’t follow up with subsequent applications of my fungicides and now fighting an ongoing problem.
During this time of year with a cool season lawn you cannot get too comfortable. Just stay consistent with your cultural practices and your applications. The fall is a couple months away.
Me too man.
Would be curious to hear your thoughts on Zoysia lawns. Great video, thanks for sharing.
I like Zoysia lawns when installed in the right conditions. It is a warm season grass type so you will have to deal with the brown winter dormancy depending on where you are located. In the transition zone it performs well during the summer months. It has a slower grow rate compared to most warm season grass types and seems to get by with lower inputs. Most warm season grass types perform much better in full sun or mostly sun locations, if there is a lot of shade it may not perform as well. So, I think it is a good option when installed under the right conditions. BTW MVP Genetics apart of Mountain View Seeds has developed a newer Zoysia cultivar that they are working to get into production. Thanks for watching.
watching this makes me depressed about my lawn haha but i know patience is key and i have a new build lawn.
Thats right. You are building good top soil over there with a new build. It will continue to get better just stay consistent with it.
Cutting cutting my Mountain View at ~2" in my back and side yard that gets a lot of shade this time of year... Back yard actually has one part that gets more sun than the rest and it's still going strong... Side yard has a few struggle spots, but area of the yard I'm working on amending because it has a lot of gravel washed out from our old driveway (have fixed that issue with a small retaining wall) that's built up over the years... Not doing too bad so far, mostly just areas I had already identified as still needing some work.
Nice!!! Im planning to get down to 2" this fall. We will see how it goes.
@@ElevatedLawnscapes It's definitely been hot and the humidity is ramping up now so we'll have to see how it holds up. With the shade, like you said, hopefully it's the right combo... I've only watered the back and side yard I think twice with the sprinklers so far... Every time I've mowed it so far, the clippings still seem like the grass is getting the water still, like the clippings are saturated, but definitely dry, same with the soil.
Thanks for the tips !!! What kind of mountain view seed would you use for the north east region, what would you recommend, keep up the excellent videos!
You could go with any of the cool season grass types...Ryegrass, KBG or fescue. Im in Maryland and have a KBG and TTTF mixture. I do recommend making sure you have some amount of KBG in your seed mixture for its spreading/repairing properties.
We Workin People! Even in the fourth Quarter 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Yessir...We Workin 💪🏾🌱!!!
Hi Cam, last year I seeded my lawn with Top Choice - Valkyrie - 42.10 %, Screamer - 42.05 % and Titanium - 14.34 %. I would like to know what varieties make up your lawn? You have a beautiful lawn. We still working!!
I have all of the varieties that you have listed and some of their other new varieties. I purchase my seed locally and the blend changes almost every year. I have Supersonic, Firecracker, and Spyder from the fescue varieties. I also have Bluebank and 365SS KBG mixed into my lawn. Thanks for watching and We Workin!
Man, that looks so green and fresh! I'm in East TN and have tall fescue. Do you have natural lawn care tips that don't require wearing rubber gloves?
My tip for natural lawn care is water, cut, fertilize it and dont use any other products on it. Repair damaged areas in the fall with overseeding. Its not that different.
Giving GCI Pete serious competition...
Very impressive
Man thats a huge compliment but Im still working to get to Pete's level. His lawn is amazing and so consistent.
E L your yard is Amazing. Can you share what grass seed is in your video or where I can get Mountain View grass seed. I AM IN THE NC AREA. Thanks for sharing tips.
Thanks 🙏🏾! I am working on a potential online option for everyone. As far as locally in NC, I'm not sure you will have to check out your local seed distributors and see if they have it.
My lawn. Alberta. Hot and dry. 95F during the day. Dog pissing on it all day. An arms race. Too much nutrients due to dog piss. Some burned out spots that I try and fix. Need to water the hell out of it. Need the nutrient levels to stabilize. Mowing higher. Bagging the clippings to stabilize nutrients. Grass grows an inch a day. It is hell. Haha.
Nutrient management is very important and I started talking about that at the beginning of this season. Pushing too much growth can come back to bite you this time of the year. Hope you can get things worked out. Thanks for watching!
@@ElevatedLawnscapes Not trying to push growth. Trying to stabilize nutrient levels. Provide enough water for heat and dog piss. Wish the growing (when not dying due to heat and nutrients would calm the eff down. Haha. Need all this to balance. Mowing higher and bagging the clippings helps.
Jedi Lawn Master
HaHa...Im just working to be consistent, continuing to learn and keep it green.
Love the advice. Would you prefer to mow earlier in the morning 9am or later in the evening?
Later in the evening typically when the sun setting or has set. That early in the morning the grass is typically still wet with dew.
Evaptransporation?!?! I'm a find a way to use this in a conversation 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Yes
🤣🤣🤣 It is a fun word to say and even better when you know what it does.
I would bug the heck out of you for tips...lol
And I would ask you if you wanted a cold beverage so we could talk about grass 🤣
That lawn looks awesome, just wondering if you are northern or more in transition zone. Just curious if you get cold winters like mine and how the grass looks after cold and lots of snow.
I'm in Maryland. So we can get some dips in temps during winter. Coming out of winter ny lawn is typically completely brown and yellow with no color. I have a few videos where I show that and I think I have posted some pictures on my community page during the winter months:

What rotor sprinklers are you using, and how long does it take for you to hit 1/2"? Thanks!
Hunter PGPs. Its kinda of irrelevant for me to tell you how long it takes for me to get a .5" down because of the many different variables in irrigation. Like zone overlap, head to head coverage, water flow rate, nozzle size, etc. As stated in the video, individual evaluation will need to be done to assess how long the irrigation needs to run.
Man how you getting those stripes with no strip kit your lawn is immaculate@!!!
Thanks man I appreciate it 🙏🏾. The lawn is really healthy and thick right now...too thick for the density I want it to have. Thats what is contributing to the stripes.
Great video Sir!! I know you said on videos before you have sandy soil, what your schedule for that in normal summer not humidity or dewpoint time. I have sandy loam in NJ.
Typically its spoon feeding fert and fungicides monthly. Water and mowing 2-3x per week.
@@ElevatedLawnscapes 🙏
How about some links to the products you use? Great looking lawn!!
Thanks! My products come from Simple Lawn Solutions (liquid fert and bio-stims), Lawn Supply Company (granular fert and soluble fert), Ecologel (Cytogro and liquid fert), and Lawn and Pest Supply Company (fungicides and herbicides). What I use are things on their websites depending on what I need.
I need your help. My plan for the month of August is to do a over seed of my KBG with a TTTF Blend with 80% KBG. So I started cutting my lawn lower until I get it down to 2- 2 1/2 inches then give it a deep Dethatching and core aerating. I asked my lawn service not to fertilize and not to put a weed killer on the lawn at this time because of my over seeding plans. They said that the fertilizer that they would use would have no effect on the seeding. However when they left their report in the mailbox, it mentioned the presents of a weed called Wild Violets and that they treated for it. I live in Connecticut. I’ve taken samples of soil from different parts of the front lawn and sent them off the the Lab and it came back with very good results. So do you think I should go forward with my Over Seeding plans at this time or hold off a fight with the weeds in the early spring. I am SO pump to get started, but I don’t want to waste applying the seed if there’re not going to germinate. Any advise?
I would call them and ask exactly what herbicide they sprayed. You can Google that herbicide and find out how long you need to wait before seeding on the label.
A brother id like to live next to!
What you see on camera is how I am in the lawn and neighborhood. And I love talking grass too bad none of my neighbors really care 🤣
@@ElevatedLawnscapes bro let me tell you im sure the white folk are happy thats the only grass your happy about 💀💀💀
Love the videos man i only joke
Careful with fungicide application temps too. They can burn a lawn and just evaporate and be weakened.
Always follow the label restrictions.
Where can a south central (NC border) Virginia resident obtain Mountain View seeds?
Pete from GCI Turf is now selling MVS.
What's your blend that you chose from mountain view ?
I have almost all of their current production TTTF in my lawn over the past couple seasons of overseeding. I also have Bluebank and 365SS KBG mixed in. Thanks for watching 🙏🏾!
Hi. Im up in Long Island NY. Does the Fescue turn yellow in the winter like Zosyia does ? And which type of Fescue will you recommend up in NY ? Thanks.
It can depending on your temps. It may not go completely dormant or brown like Zoysia though. Zoysia is a warm season grass type to it goes completely dormant during winter. If you are looking for a fescue I would recommend any of the cultivars from Mountain View Seed.
great lawn work..... whats the monthly budget for such beauty
I make a plan at the beginning of the season and make all my purchases then. Like every thing there are different levels. You can consistently do the basic cultural practices and have nice lawn that most people will be happy with. The choice is yours on what you are comfortable with. Thanks for watching.
