      Thank you very much mate 🙌🏽. Yes it takes some going at it, really quite lucky it is only a small lawn in some regard, as you know it can take a lot of time and a lot of money for them larger areas!🌱

      Thank you Scott, yeah I think they would, quite honestly once I get ontop of the weed grasses the lawn looks great, but at least to my eye it sticks out like a sore thumb ! Will be nice to see how lush I can get it 😄🌱

    Great video. Looking forward to see the whole process. One thing I did was got a small bit of plywood and used it as a shield, for when I was spraying close to the flower borders.

      Thanks Scott ! Hopefully it all goes to plan and I start to see some yellowing next week! Yeah the board idea is spot on! I definitely should have with the amount of foliage I have around the area, hopefully it hasn’t been affected 😂. I tested the knapsack before the video and it was spraying true, so if it does hit the plants it can only be my fault 🌱

    Very interesting video, looking forward to watching the full story. It is 18.20 pm and we have had 4 seasons today 30th March. It is actually snowing very heavy in my part of Scotland as I am writing this. I'm afraid to start renovations just yet. Thanks Sam. 👍

      I feel you Ray! I was out in it today and it has been exactly the same, this kill off takes around 3 weeks at least really, renos won’t begin till 2nd week of April earliest.. just hope even that isn’t too early !😩

    Killing off your lawn killed the grass at the start. One year on did the seed originally in your garden prior to kill off come back as weed grasses?
    Thanks

    Just come across your channel Jay and watched a few vids so far which are great. I have the same manual reel mower as you ( the webb ) and my only gripe is i wish it was a bit heavier to make more defined stripes like you get from a petrol one. Any ideas/thoughts on how to add weight to it? Keep up the great vids!

    • @JayRockGroundsMaintenance
      @JayRockGroundsMaintenance  2 года назад

      Thank you very much for tuning in Robert! I don’t sorry, because of this I rarely bring the Webb out, maybe once per season. The only thing they will possibly help is multiple passes, double/ triple cut, that should define them so much more 😄

    Wait… did you just spray weed killer ON YOUR ENTIRE LAWN?!?! Just to get rid of a few fog grass?!?! Oh gosh I couldn’t. Just too much work. I’m brand new to lawn care. I live in New Jersey, USA. I have a corner lot. I have a front lawn and back lawn. That would be too much work for me. I think I’ll start killing off patches first.
    Do you have another video for fixing patches?

      Definitely ! Part of showing a full renovation for the channel more than anything 😄 I agree though, on those bigger lawns, it takes a whole lot more, time, money & patience !😂. I don’t currently but it would be much of the same process, place a bottomless box around the are or something similar, spray off the area, rake it out after a few weeks, seed and top dress 😄 that should bring it through well💪🏽🌱
