Budget lawn is dominating all the lawns on RUclips just saying thanks buddy.
You’re way too kind. Appreciate ya very much. 🍻👊
Hiya Travis!…on to the big dance for our boys …Go Hogs and Hoosiers!👏👏🏀…thanks for all brother!👍…”play the rains”…☮️💪👑
Yeah buddy. Time to dance. Thanks for all to you as well brother. Appreciate ya.
This basic information is often confusing to customers and this video is spot on. I've given this information to new customers many times. The only thing I'd add to this is the importance of a fall pre-emergent to stop those winter weeds from showing up in the spring. The timing of these applications is also crucial for success. Soil temperatures should be your deciding factor.
Thank you. Appreciate that. For sure. That fall app is very important as well. Thanks again! 👊👊
You are hands down my favorite channel, new house first lawn of my own but its established. Just looking to cover basics my first year and will go from there. Your videos are great thanks. Starting with weedstop orange hose guy tomorrow then fertilize in a month
Thank you. Really appreciate that. Congrats on the home. That’s exciting! Good luck in the lawn this season. Happy to help if I can. 👊
I actually started my spring stuff in the 2nd week of Feb. Its been a very very mild winter here , TTTF never seen below 32* more than 1 day at a time with mostly 60,s 70,s and even a few 80 degree days mixed in ...so my Lebanon 19/0/6 with .37 prodiamine went down early and 2nd application soon...good luck folks and remember mother nature will change any schedule lol...just adapt and do what you feel is correct. Its grass , not the end of the world😉
💯💯👊👊👍👍
I watched the radar like a hawk and laid my PreM while it was sprinkling just before .5" of rain landed..... best I could do.
Sounds like you nailed it. 👍👍 thanks so much for watching.
Great info. Thank you! 🙏👍
Thank you. Glad it helps.
Got a little over a half inch of rain this last week so my prodiamine got watered in! 👍
Round up got three days in the 70's to soak in! 👍
My Bradford pear tree is already blooming which last year it was on the 28th so ground Temps are up. I see green tips in my grass but still holding off on that scalp.
Thanks Travis 👊👊👊👊
Boom. Nice timing. Bradford pears in full bloom here and the forsythia (I finally found one.) Definitely a warm finish to winter. Crazy warm. Appreciate you very much. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thanks Travis. Like the Triple Crown shirt.
👊👊 had it since high school. Over 20 years lol. Thanks so much for watching.
My neighbors lawns have already greened up, but they’re all weeds though. Poa and henbit galore.
I’m still jealous though, bermuda has already started filling in and my st aug is just now waking up. I want something to mow so bad, but I definitely appreciate having actual grass so I’ll just have to be patient a few more weeks. 🙃
Seeing that around here too. What a warm late winter. Hang in there bud. Almost there. Thanks so much for watching.
Very well said 👍🏻. Your explanation is such that even a 6th / 7th graders will understand. Keep up the good work kind Sir!
😆😆 Thanks buddy. Appreciate your support! 👊👊
Make sure you tune in this week for the live stream.
Elbow deep in biosolids ❤️
Sure nothing wrong with synthetic chemistry ⚗️ 👍🏼💯🌻🌪️🇺🇸
Great help video 👍🏼
👍👍👊👊
Good advice on the synthetic fert water tip - I learned a hard lesson about that 5 years ago also was 89 degrees when I applied it . well we live and learn .
Happens to the best of us. Thanks buddy!
Love that you aren’t trying to sell me anything like other lawn RUclipsrs.
I have a question on what you do specifically.
Do you use 1 whole bag of pro care natural and 1 whole bag of 10-10-10 every time you fertilize?
I have about 4,000sq ft of Bermuda and was thinking of doing that once a month for about four months, but was not sure if that would be too much.
👊👊 that’s how we do things around here.
My old lawn was 4K sqft and I used one bag of each spread evenly across the lawn. I’ve cut the pro care out because of rising prices but may do it one or two times this year.
Appreciate ya watching and commenting.
Literally wondered this today… nice timing. I just dethatched my yard today. Oklahoma
Awesome. Appreciate ya watching and commenting. 👊👊
Awesome video! Perfect timing!
Right on. Thanks so much for watching.
Here in Canada in my province pretty much any lawn product is banned. For the last four years I've pulled thousands of dandelions, and that purple crap. Much or what worked is just keeping at it literally every day. De-thatch, scarify (electric Sun Joe) had a major effect. Consistent watering too can be tricky. Fertilizer is an art unto itself when or what type and then there's nitrogen, nitrate, nitrite, and the organisms you need to help you.
Great insight. Appreciate ya watching and sharing.
I know a bit ahead of your season, just scalped today! Let's get it rolling.
💪💪👊👊 nice. Thanks for watchin!
Always top notch informational videos!
Thanks buddy. Always appreciate you!
Yes! Good reminder, people often forget about that step!
Thanks buddy. It's the easiest tips that are often missed.
@@BudgetLawns Tell me about it...I may have forgot to put that step in my video..........
Been there done that 😆😆
You explained it well - Thank U
🙏🙏 thank you. Appreciate you watching and your feedback!
Ahhh , Mr. Hankee.
😆😆👊👊
Hey @budgetlawns when applying oversees to a dying lawn when can you apply post emergent for thr souther lawn types.
I don't use a post emergent on a new lawn in the first season. Just my preference, but I'd for sure wait until its established enough and strong enough to handle it. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
Thank you as always 💚
🙏🙏 thank you.
hey man, i just started a lawn care business, i have 4 monthly customers so far, so i look at your videos a lot
that being said, i have a couple suggestions to better your videos,
the video was really slow paced and i was constantly skipping ahead
second, there were no video chapters, which made it inconvenient watching
hope these help you as you have helped me!
Ok. Thanks…I guess. Seems to be working 🤷♂️. How’s it working out for you? Appreciate ya watching.
@@BudgetLawns pretty good, thanks! Just trying to help ya out!
Great tips! I have been guilty in my learning process of not watering in the pre emergent as well as the synthetic fertilizers. I sprayed some fert on my cold season grass today but am getting some rain tomorrow, so it should hopefully get washed into the soil.
🤞🤜🤛
Rain is the best way to water it in 💪💪 hope you get what you need. Thanks so much brother. 👊👊
OMG this video is so helpful. THANK YOU!! I'm currently dealing with not being able to grow grass in my backyard. We bought a new construction home last year and since then I have bought 3 or 4 30.00 bags of grass and the ground is not taking it....all that seems to be coming up are weeds!! So frustrating 😔
Awesome. Glad to hear you found it helpful. See if this one helps too. ruclips.net/video/lBgRG5oy95Y/видео.html Thanks for watching and commenting. Good luck.
@@BudgetLawns thank you bro
👍👍👊👊
THATS MY TEACHER!!!😁😁
😀😀
Another great video! I live in north Georgia with about 4000 sq feet Bermuda that has years of no maintenance and is infested with weeds. I began to utilize your recommendations in September 2022 with applying 2 (10lb) bags of Spectracide Weedstop For Lawns W/Crabgrass Preventer granules (watered in with hose). I repeated the process in early January and early March. Bermuda is dormant (obviously)now, but there’s already a great improvement in the amount of weeds from last year! I will be beginning the 10-10-10 synthetic fertilizer and organic fertilizer simultaneously beginning in May with plans to repeat in June, July and then again in September when I again will apply the Spectracide Weedstop granules. If needed, I plan to use the hose end sprayer post emergent Spectracide Weedstop in May. Thanks again for your no nonsense approach! Looking forward to watching your live show! Go Dawgs in 2023!
Right on man. Thank you for sharing that. You’re killing it. Got it down 💪💪👊👊 appreciate ya watching and commenting. Look forward to seeing ya Tuesday nights for the show.
@@BudgetLawns Looking forward to it!
👍👍
@@ZCAR355 Sounds like a solid and very detailed plan. Lawn should look great!
Great video as usual Travis!! I am glad I found your channel!! Keep up the great work!!
Thanks man. Glad to have you here. Always appreciative of your support. 👊👊
Good 101
Thanks dude 👊👊
Travis, this year I wanted to give liquid apps a try with a spoon feeding approach. Couldn't find a liquid biosolid so bought a sea weed/fish liquid. Would that be just as effective as a biosolid or not?
Hey Rich. Honestly I don’t know anything about the product you bought so I wouldn’t even be able to answer. Fun thing about lawn care is experimenting. Give it a shot and see what happens. Keep me posted! Thanks for watching.
love your videos. A quick question though. I have a good sized dead/bare area in my lawn but I am not sure what type of grass I have. How can I determine my grass type?
Thank you. Here's a vid I did last year that should help you narrow it down.
ruclips.net/video/F4Lc_7d3Z2Q/видео.html Hope that helps. Appreciate your support.
So - can you use spectracide weed stop granules as a broadleaf preventer in the spring by spreading then watering in? I have had good luck doing spot treatment with spectracide liquid. New (to me) house yard needs SOME work my former house I planted the sod and never let weeds even form so I have not had occasion to do much weed prevention.
Yes. You can. That’s exactly what I do. Spectracide granular in fall, just after new years and then march/April and it keeps me covered. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and the question.
Hey Sir. Quick question. I live in Central Oklahoma, around Oklahoma City. I have a Bermuda lawn and was wondering if dethatching or scarifying was safe to do. I have seen some videos saying it is safe and others saying not to do it. What are your thoughts?
I’m in northwest Arkansas and never do either to my Bermuda lawn. I’m in the don’t do it camp. Appreciate ya watching!
Great videos! Reading the label for the spectrcide, it seems pretty toxic and I got kids and a dog in the yard. At what point is the yard safe for use? Is there another product that you recommend that is kid and pet safe?
Thank you. Appreciate that. I keep my kids and dog off for at least 24 hours but usually do so for 48 hours. I don't use the products often at all. Hope this helps. Thanks again.
Knew it!! Wooder it in!! Joe put you up to this??!!
Lol that's right. Wooder it is. Thanks man. Appreciate you.
Wooder it!
Brand new home owner here. And im here to say my lawn is an absolute hot dumpster fire. Im getting a real late start now that its june. Can i just go a head and fertile with organic and take care of the pre-existing weeds with the pre emergent?
Second question. With post emergent, if i spread it over the entirety of my lawn will it kill my lawn?
You’d use a post emergent to take care of existing weeds. Use a weed killer that is safe on your grass but kills weeds. Check the label. I’d take care of that first and mow and water a lot. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
Great video and nice job breaking everything down! Hankey can keep that organic crap, you would think it was made out of gold looking at the prices this year😂
😆😆 no kiddin man. Appreciate ya brother!
Good information
Would it be an overkill if you used granular and liquid of the WeedStop at the same time since it has to watered in?
Thank you. I use the granular only as a pre-emergent which needs watered in. I use the liquid as the post emergent which doesn't need watered in. So I wouldn't use them at the same time. Overkill indeed I think. Appreciate ya watching.
@@BudgetLawns Thank you 😊
im in the north east, i just applied my pre emergent, should i have applied my fertilizer first or is it safe to put the fertilizer down after the pre emergent
You can do it after. No problem at all. Thanks for watching.
I have weeds over about 20% of my lawn. I've plucked a few out by hand but I also tried the spectracide post emergent. It works ok. Is cutting the grass enough to stop the spread of weeds?
After first scalping, can I just cut twice a week and leave the clippings on the lawn as sufficient fertilizer?
I was a first time home buyer last summer. I paid a lawn mowing company last summer as I was adjusting to a new job and new state. Now I've settled in, I want to care for my lawn myself!
Cutting frequently and promoting a dense lawn will certainly help suppress the weeds. Leaving clippings will result in extra fertilization. Hope this helps. Appreciate you watching.
I have Bermuda grass
👍👍
@@BudgetLawns thanks for the insight! Love your channel
what do you suggest for preemergent in landscaped (mulch/rock beds, non grass areas)
I've only ever used the Preen shaker. Check it out and just follow the label directions. Appreciate ya watching.
So if I spray a pre -emergent down do i still have to water it in ??
Yes. You need a half inch or so ideally. Thanks for watching.
@@BudgetLawns thanks
👍👍
Seeing as I'm up North, can i apply my pre-emergent at the same time as my DIY fertilizers?? I also wonder will i "waste" my product if i get a late snowfall? We had snow falling last April.
Thank you
From my understanding most northern folks will time their pre emergent around the soil temp of 50-55 degree mark. Around that same temp many will also apply a fertilizer. So first you need to see if your soil temp is around that at this point. Thanks for watching.
I was discussing Pre Emergent with my neighbor. He was not understanding what I was saying. I then said it’s like Birth Control for the grass my boy.
I seen a light bulb 💡……. Ahhhhh he understands now 😂❤
😂😂that’s hilarious. Love it. Thanks as always brother! 👊👊
How bout mole problems?
Sorry, never had to deal with them. Check out The Lawn Shark channel. He actually just did a video about that topic. Appreciate ya watching.
Weed stop for lawn granules for post emergent just spread it on no watering?
Yes...For post emergent, you want it to be spread on dewy grass so the granules stick to the leaves but don't water it in. For pre-emergent you would water it in asap to get it into the soil. Hope this helps. Thanks again for joining us the other night.
@@BudgetLawns yes sir see you Tuesday and thanks 🙏
👍👍
What would 24d be categorized pre/post
That would be a post emergent weed killer. Thanks for watching.
@@BudgetLawns thanks for confirming 💯🌻🌪️🦗

Thank you Steve. Appreciate that. Happy to have ya here.
Should grass be cut all the way low when applying this ?
Which one in particular? I went over 4 products in the video. If it’s fert or pre emergent, mow before to get it down into the soil and canopy better. If it’s post emergent don’t mow or wait a couple days after mowing. Hope this helps. Appreciate ya!
Can I do a pre emergent and a post emergent treatment for weeds at the same time? Or is only one treatment necessary?
All that's discussed in the video. Pre emergent needs watered in and a post doesn't. The timing is usually off to need to do them at the same time anyway. I wouldn't do them together. Thanks for watching.
So……..my lawn should be green. Ok good. I was worried 😂😂👊
😆😆 thanks for watching man!

Biosolids, thats the good shitt!

Dang bro. Sorry to hear that. Glad you’re on the mend. Enjoy your time back in the shop. You the man! 👊👊
Good vid about Watering. ? WHY don't some Lawn bloggers Never say Anything about getting a SOIL TEST, that a #1factor in determining what Ratio of Fertilizer(NPK) needed for your Lawn AND stop the guessing game of what's Fertilizer to Buy, just sayin..⛳️
Thank you. A soil test is certainly a great idea for those looking to dive deeper into it. Or someone who wants to be more precise. However, that's just not realistically how a vast majority of homeowners are. So for me, I'm speaking to that audience. It's not saying a soil test is a bad idea. It's just saying that if you're not interested in that, you can still get lawn tips here for the average homeowner. As lawn bloggers, we can't be everything to everybody. Trying to do that would drive anyone crazy. Appreciate you watching.
@Budget Lawns i watch you alot, even like your Content, i thought i would mention SOIL Testing. It really makes a difference for ones lawn. Im a average lawn guy too, thks for your info⛳️.
Appreciate you. Thanks so much for watching and your input! 👍

When- where is your Tuesday night show? RUclips,?
We had to stop doing it back in the fall. Joe and I got very busy with family commitments and something had to be eliminated. It was the show. We hope we’ll be able to get it going when kids’ activities slow down for summer. Thanks for watching.
