I love watching your videos!
Can I spray the tenacity mix on a mulch bed ? I have some weeds growing out from under the mulch
@@tranelunger7758 I really appreciate that. You can use it on grass or bare dirt or beds. Just avoid overspray on plants. If you get too close, use a piece of cardboard as a shield and then it takes the stress away if you are close. Hope this helps and thanks for watching.
@@SilverCymbal thanks 👍 I'm thinking of doing my lawn myself for the upcoming year. You have great videos and makes it seem so easy! You're a great resource for any lawn related questions I have...
Excellent Video. Thanks for taking the time to share.
Would you be able to provide a timeline from start to finish?
My lawn looks exactly as yours when you started. Want to have perspective as to how long it will take me to make it look like yours now, if I follow everything to a T.
Thanks again!
MA - nyc
What did you do or did not do such that you started out with a lawn looking like at the beginning of the video? And assuming that you started out in early September, then is the look at the end of the video is at the end of the lawn season at the end of following year?
Why am i watching this its 230 am and i live in apartments
Cuz your going to become a homeowner in the future you are doing what I was doing when I didn’t have a house i was dreaming and is good to have a dream
Because your high and thought this video was about weed!
Because you want a perfect lawn.
@@philrico3925 lmao
@@SuperReallyNice Tim Allen approves your message
1. Start in the fall 2. Kill the weeds - use tenacity 3. Aerate lawn 4. drop in grass seed 5. Apply starter fertilizer 6. Water 2-3 times a day 7. Stay off the lawn 8. Mow in a month and bag clippings. 9. After 2 months, mow weekly and cut 2.5 to 3.5 inches high. 10. Every 6 weeks fertilizer
I have a question, the video says to start the process in fall. But once I add the seeds and fertilizer and wait for 3-4 weeks it is already October and cold considering I am in Canada. So should I mow the grass in October or can I continue the following steps in spring?
Naveen N that’s what I’m wondering..
@@NaveenNT I did it in spring in ohio where it snowed week 3 a little and it still grew but not that thick
Appreciate that!
After the weeds are dead from Tenacity, do you pull them or just leave them there?
This video actually makes it feel possible for me to renovate my own terrible lawn that was neglected by previous owners for years. Looking forward to trying this out.
Any updates ??
This is exactly what I needed. My lawn here in Houston is just dead, burnt, crunchy and bare spots. We've had zero rain almost all summer. My lawn needs help and I had no idea what to do. Definitely trying this.
Same here down in McAllen. We have some work to do if it ever cools down lol
I’m in Richmond on the side of Sugarland. My lawn is the same. How did your lawns turn out? Did it work for you all?
About to start renovating, hopefully this summer in Houston isn’t like last summer lol
Day 200 of quarantine:
Watching grass videos 🤦🏻♂️
Day 201 smoking grass
Same Haha!!!!
Day 202, eating grass
Hahaha 😂 same!
grassy ass
16 year old wanting to give my moms a nice lawn 😅wish me luck guys
Edit: oh wow I'm just noticing all these replies, thanks so much guys. And good luck to you all :)
You can definitely do it. Follow my method, so many others show you 20 steps, 17 of which are not needed. You can do it with minimal work. Good luck
What a good son. Good luck!
Same here! I’m gonna try to do the lawn tomorrow. Good luck 👍🏾
Awesome!!! Acá igual dandole cariño a la grama. Poco a poco, brother!
Me too boss
Great start up video, I can't wait to start using this method this fall, this is the perfect example of what needs to be done step by step to get a great turf. I'm very delighted to learn. Thank you so much!!
I’ve watched sooo many videos the last 2 weeks as I am planning a lawn reno and this is by far the best one I’ve seen. Thank you!
1:23 AM ... Learning how to be the Envy of the neighborhood 😂 Great information cant wait to see the results thank you
Thank you
Same here. 😂 I’m ready to have a great looking yard, we are on a Main Street too so I want it to catch people attention lol
I started watching this at exactly 1:23 am too 😳
Its now 1:43 @m i just put my thing in a hole in the yard .i paid big money for that arieater,the massage parlors are still closed.... help
1:03am for me 😂, I used to have the best lawn in the neighborhood but neglected it for 10 years. I want to start breaking necks again with my lawn
as a kid i remember my friends with the best lawns were the ones whose dads would yell at us for playing on them. it always rubbed me the wrong way but now i understand how much effort they were putting into it
the whole fing point in having an amazingly healthy lawn is to enjoy it
Great for a selling point curb appeal too!
@@zombiemaster123456 you don’t have to play in a lawn to enjoy it. It’s kinda like art you don’t play with it you admire it you know?
I was going to like your comment, but I'd hate to ruin the current number
😂
Simple, straight forward, easy to follow instructions! Gives me hope and a clear path to success, thank you, for the information.
Only this man can make mowing a garden seem fun and interesting
I don’t even own a house.. I’m 20 years old. But for some reason I watched this whole video.. nice lawn sir lol 😂
Thank you very much for the nice words and the compliment
Lol 😂
@@SilverCymbal what state do you live in? I need help with mine. How much will it cost for the overall maintenance?
Will Couch well shit me nether and to top it all of i live in a country where’s the summer is very very hot like really hot 47 Celsius 😂🤦🏻♂️
Thank you. I followed most of your steps (didn’t use the Tenacity), used the Jonathan Green and a starter fertilizer after aerating. My lawn now looks awesome. Such an improvement.
Tom Lyman - 3PS while doing this renovation when did you stop watering the lawn regularly?
Tom Lyman - 3PS what did you used to kill the weeds instead?
@@jventura95 I used the Ortho Weed B Gone with crabgrass control. The type that hooks to the hose.
@@acasey87 I watered regularly for about 4 weeks.
I’m confused on the starter fertilizer step, he says for new lawns. What’s consider a new lawn, no grass at all?
I have watched this video at least 20 times. Started my lawn renovation 6 weeks ago. Just had my first cut over the weekend and I finally have hope. The new seed came out quite a bit darker than the existing grass but I’m sure if I stay patient in 3ish years after being consistent it’ll take over. Thank you so much!!!
same here. I reno'ed a big area and since I have no idea what grass seed was used previously I ended up with beautiful new grass that was dark green while the rest of the lawn wasn't that dark. The overseeding definitely help green up the existing lawn... but not up to par as the new stuff. Hopefully each year of overseesing will help it all match better.
What type of seed did you use?
What do you mean consistent? Like watering, mowing, nutrients, etc?
Transplanted new Englander here, this voice is comforting
I followed this advice and it worked great! Got the weeds killed. Then over Labor day weekend, aerated and watered, etc. I now have a luscious green lawn. Just fantastic!
There is just something about that perfect green lawn. Great work! I took care of my parents' lawn as a teenager, now at 34 I am moving from an apartment into a house. In 2020 I am finally getting my own lawn!
I appreciate that a lot thank you
How's your lawn going? I just got my first lawn last year and I enjoy taking care of it 😁
@@kona702 was really nice..until this last heatwave killed it. But it'll be okay in the fall again. It is a real pleasure to look at a nice lawn.
@@markorebernik3760 oh noo. Hopefully it will get back on track. I was very fortunate this year to get a ton of rain up here in Delaware. So mine has been nice and green but I have had to water it here and there to keep it from starting to Brown in between the rains. And I also have zoysia grass so it always dies and turns brown and dormant in the fall and winter, so that will be coming soon for me. But it is fun taking care of the lawn I think. Many people see it as a nuisance but it's kind of relaxing to me to go out and mow the grass and weed the flower beds.
You should also note, that people should always do a soil test at their local county farm office or an online kit in order to make sure that they are feeding their lawn what it actually needs.
This was an excellent tutorial!! I was searching for one with a realistic, time-based approach that showed the step by step process, with before and after results. We are all so impressed and cannot wait to begin starting this work on September 1st 🙂
did you do it
Update??
Great video! Best part was the fact you don't make ridiculous claims. Nice and honest that it won't happen overnight, it takes time and work, and no fairy dust. Looks great
I appreciate that a lot. I always show you the real deal! Thanks for watching
Just wanted to let you know I took your steps and this fall, my yard looks at least 75% better than what I came in with. Tenacity is amazing - got rid of my crabgrass and ground ivy, and most of my dandelion. I spot sprayed for weeds August 1 and again August 15 to hit what I missed. I aerated (this was hard on a hilly lawn, but next year I will use a billy goat or outsource this part) September 13, and put down limestone then - I have a lot of moss and pine needles to deal with. I overseeded the next day with Pennington Contractor's Mix. Fertilized a week later. Watered twice a day for about 2 weeks after seeding. Then every 3 days or so for another couple weeks. Was ready to mow by week 3... there was over 6 inches of growth. I basically haven't stopped bagging weekly clippings since... helps me get all the leaves off my heavily wooded lawn. It's not perfect, but my husband is impressed with what I've accomplished in a single season with minimal investment. I wish I could post my before and after pics. Guys, if you live in New England.... Silver Cymbal's tips will help you get your lawn better. These steps worked for me. I am no longer embarrassed of my lawn. Thank you Silver Cymbal!
Hang on... a lady did this? Hella impressive lass!
I'd avoid any contractors mix. It's usually fast growing sometimes contains annual grasses that germinate early and look good for that season and die off the next year. They also usually are the cheapest and have more weeds. His advice on grass seed has been very accurate for me.
I just recently bought and moved into a new home and for the first time as an adult I have something in me compelling me to grow a nice beautiful grass especially in the front yard as it's right off the road. I want people to see it and think its nice as well. great tips and guide in this video. Subscribed and gonna be learning.
This is a great video! I’ve both replaced and renovated my lawns and this is all great advice. I’ve done some of this stuff and it works! Hope folks realize. Thank you. 👏🏻
Ok ... here goes.. I have faith. I add the weed killer so now I’m on to the second step.. I’ll keep you posted..
Owo whats your social site id i am also making my yard lets work together. Give me your Instagram ir twitter id
So how did it go? Lol
you didnt.
“Now, my lawns not perfect” the commentator humbly states as photos of his perfect lawn are shown.... all envy aside thanks for the instructions.
I really appreciate the kind words and compliment. Thank you
The advice in this video is really easy and basic. Very useful for first timers!❤
I found you again! I remember watching you a VM long time ago and wished I had a big lawn too. I just moved from California to N. Georgia to a house with a giant yard. I’m so C excited to have your help fixing my gross lawn.
Thank you so much, I followed these steps and achieved unbelievable results that shocked my neighbors, family members, and coworkers. I had all but given up, my lawn had turned brown and sparse - looking completely dead. I followed these simple steps, and followed them COMPLETELY, and had a perfect green lawn within 5 weeks. So many people asked about it, and all of them I just gave them your link! Cannot thank you enough. And for those of you reading this and are on the fence about doing it, stop thinking and just do it - but do it ALL, no shortcuts.
What to do after spraying tenacity ??? Do I have to remove the dead weeds or it’s okay to leave it in there ?
Hello. After tenacity, how long did you wait to start seeding? And after seeding how long did you wait after applying starter fertilizer?
@@sofiavillarreal820 No need to wait for either of your two questions! Every year, I usually do the following: get home from work on a Friday night, apply the tenacity, go to bed, wake up on Saturday, rent an aerator from Home Depot, aerate, spread seed, and spread starting fertilizer all on Saturday. Then I water twice every day and refrain from cutting for 4 weeks
ThanKU for making this video. I’m a first time home owner and had zero experience maintaining a lawn. I left the care to the lawn guys who had been cutting the grass for the previous owners. However the lawn started to brown in patches and it was very frustrating. So glad to have found this video because I would love to have my lawn come back to full greenery without costing an arm and a leg. ThanX again
As a professional lawn care company, I recommend everything in this video. He does a great job, very thorough. I only add that "new lawn nutrients" can be added prior to a lawn renovation, while seeding, or after. Try a granular bio char prior to renovation. Bio char can do wonders for a lawn renovation, are relatively cheap and easy to spread.
Really amazing transformation! You make it look easy!
I love this. Thanks for sharing. My lawn needs a good doctoring. Im glad you let me know I don't need a pro, and I can really do this on my own.
My husband and I are selling our townhouse and buying a single family home with .87 acres. We needed this video. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the really good guide and inspiration! I really appreciate it. Will apply all the advices and hope to see good results 🤗🙏
Spot on video! I prepped and applied just as you noted. Had a really nice first cut back in November but the big gains are made right now in spring 2021. Pretty thick right now and hopefully gets a darker green soon. Thanks from ny!!
amazing! this has worked like a charm in mid Iowa. i have had outstanding results following your advice this spring! tenacity worked perfectly! my yard was over 80% broadleaf plantain weeds and purple clover smothering out the grass by the first week of april and now it’s down to just a handful of small spots after 3 applications of weed killer, one round of fertilizer and 2 rounds of overseeding. The first 2 tenacity applications were over the whole yard, last one was spot treatment. I’m currently waiting for my second round of overseeding to grow but i’ve seen a massive improvement. it feels like a miracle! i have gained so much confidence in how to fix and maintain a lawn when I was once was hopeless. i’m confident before the next winter my yard will be one of the best in the neighborhood. thank you so much for the clear and easy to follow instructions!
Thank you so much for the nice feedback and I am thrilled to hear that it has helped you. I really appreciate it and please share the link to the video or my others with anyone else that might benefit. Thank you again and have a great summer.
Finally a response from Iowa 😍 ! Can you please tell me if I start weed spray in sept And follow the next steps but by the end of October we might get some snow .. I’m confused how should I keep up the fertilization and mowing !! Or just leave it on it’s own till spring ?
@@Hyp3r-Blxze I started weed spray this week! Lol better early than later you know how Iowa weather is
Your lawn is looking healthy and handsome, your hard work has certainly paid off. Well done.
Thank you so much for the nice compliment
The amount of information in this video is gold! Thank you
Hard to believe you did most of this in 1 fall season. Excellent video thanks.
Just wanted to say "thank you" for such a well done and concise video. You get right to the point with good, practical information. Too many other videos are too long and tedious to watch.
I really appreciate that, thank you so much!
Watching this in anticipation of my move to a house. Finally some grass to mow!!!!
This video was so helpful. I don't know anything about lawn care and i want to grow my grass and get rid of weeds. Thank you for being so detailed
Can’t wait to transform mine! I have no knowledge of any of this and ur video was so easy to follow! Much love
Finally, a lawn care video that shows before and *after*. I've been looking at several today and they show what steps they took, but never showed the results.
I hate those ones too. Sorry to say this but most of them are fake just looking to make a video. My videos are always the real deal.
@@SilverCymbal yup! This one is a keeper! Easy to follow too ...thanks!
@@melfuz Thank you so much, I just made an updated version these with extra info based on hundreds of comments and feedback, check it out: ruclips.net/video/BOYQ3wQInBQ/видео.html
@@SilverCymbal Awesome! Thank you..I'm there! 😁
Fantastic comprehensive video! Thank you for the information!
I look forward to trying this method on my lawn. I will share a link when it's finished. Thank you for the informative video!
OMG! You're who I've been looking for. I've just let my lawn go due to lack of energy for the many suggestions heard on preparation. If folk are like me; we basically want instant gratification & for myself your video came closest. Not to mention with clear understanding. Thanx you much. 'I can, I will'.
I notice a lot of comments from apartment dwellers who feel like they are missing-out; I’d like to offer any of them the opportunity to renovate a lawn, I won’t even charge them for the privilege!
Beau Owens so funny 😂
Agreed. I got 2 acres for classroom time. Lol
So savage...
you're a life saver
😂😂😂 Good one.
I’d like to offer too. I will even pay for the materials used!
Perfect! I live in the NE corner of CT and struggle each year. Thanks for the video!
Wow this video is fantastic. Thank you for the amazing information, I hope I can carry everything out correctly! We just bought a house and as soon as the other folks moved out, the weeds moved in! I can see how much love and care they put into their yard, so I'd better follow suit!
I've watched & subbed to your website last year got home 10 yes ago all shrubs slowly got it cleared out tilled it got grass then last 6 yrs taking cars of late mom I let it go fed it watered did ok but watched more of your videos learned alot ,its beautiful again almost 100% green full beautiful again im sitting on my porch in California rite now watching the sprinklers going as I have my cup of coffee before I go to bed ( work nights ) thanks you've saved me lots of $$$$$
100% sent this to my parents who are starting to think of a backyard Reno. thank you for this incredibly simple and informative video! ps...your yard looks STUNNING!!!
I most definitely love looking at your lawn.
I really appreciate that, that is very nice of you.
Thank you. We will be starting the program this fall. Looking forward to the results. Cheers Cymbal!
wow that is a beautiful lawn , i wrote down the tips you provided in this video. My lawn looks terrible i am in the south and its mostly sand poor dirt.. i am going to attempt to try all of those steps and see how it goes. You did a great job with this video and your lawn, thank you!
I was about to rip my entire lawn and get it replaced. But you've made me reconsider, and might use seedlings instead. I just didn't want to have multiple types of grass growing at different rates on my lawn. But it seems to have worked for you. Thanks for sharing.
I'm glad you have another option now. I tried so much over the years and thoseother ways can work but now that I have done this many times I know it can and does work. The best part is of if you have a life, jobs kids and family or all of that you don't have to spend your whole year doing this and still get a nice end result. Thanks for watching and the comment.
You want a blend of different grasses. That way if it gets a disease it won't wipe out your entire lawn. Set a timer to water just before sun up. This will cut down on mold and overall disease. If you aerate it's a must to keep the clippings after you mow. This will add nitrogen and provide coverage from the sun and hold enough moisture, not too much for mold, to help with new seed. I worked at a large lawn care company all throughout college. Their methods were backed by years of science. Last tip keep your mower at top height. This will allow the grass to naturally chock out new weeds reducing the need for chemical sprays.
This was so helpful thank you my lawn looks like what yours used to look like and I’m so frustrated that the lawn looks the same so I took notes and I’m going to start working on the lawn in September thanks again
This is quite a bit to go over but it gave me a good base of what needs to happen. My biggest issue with starting is leveling. I’ve got a big dip in my backyard where a tree trunk used to be. There’s also quite a bit of variation. Once I get that figured out I think this process in the video will get me where I want to be. Thanks!
You seem to love your perfect lawns in the US; I 've read that billions of $$$'s are spent on keeping them green and pristeen. Here in the UK there's a growing trend towards sowing meadow mixes to make our gardens into wildlife havens. I see it in my own street. It's been going either way; some people pave over their lawns to park more cars but others have dedicated parts or sometimes all of their lawn to encourage wildflowers. Done well it looks amazing! I use the fiskars staysharp plus reel mower which lifts to 4" and allows me to mow low flowering areas of grass without damaging the flowers. Sitting in my garden it literally dances with life; butterflies, bees, dragonflies and other pollinators. These in turn have brought in more insectivorous birds and even toads and hedgehogs; my former lawn now teems with biodiversity! My cats love exploring and snoozing among the long grasses and flowers too. It used to be just a lifeless monoculture of green before. When I see a pristine lawn now it looks like a desert to me.
That’s interesting. I guess to each their own. I like a garden area (flowers, veggies and such…) and a nice green lawn personally
Interesting
Sounds great, but where I live, a wildlife haven means giant cockroaches and snakes! We have much larger lawns here in the US, on average, than you do in the UK. Since I may have a heart attack if I see another snake, I keep my lawn short. I wouldn't mind having flowers that only grow to 3 inches maximum instead of having grass. Which flowers are these?
Its 4 am and I should be asleep, but lawn improvement I need to know. Even tho I live in an apartment and I don't do landscaping work.
Thank you so much! Your video is perfect for someone like me. Single mom here. I bought my home years ago, and every season it just gets worse because I don't know what I'm doing. It's mostly weeds at this point, lol. So much contradicting and inapplicable instructions are found online. I feel like your steps will work for me. I'm in the Atlanta area, so please let me know if that changes anything.
Best informative video I’ve come across so far. Narrator spoke clearly and was easy to understand.
when he said “maybe it’s as bad as mine” I looked outside and uh mine is a lot worse 🤣
Callista Golden 😆
don't feel bad, mine is sand clay and rocks lol
Mine is a dirt lot with luscious weeds, so I guess I have a green lawn.
Mines look awful
Right? He really thinks you shouldn’t nuke your lawn and start over, just use what you got... but he has NO idea how bad mine is lol
Why the F*** do people dislike this video? Video is top notch. Very informative and well detailed.
I appreciate that a lot.
I definitely completely agree on that comment
and everything that can cause a really thin sparse lawn is using a sprinkler system too much too often it depletes the nutrients so a lack of fertilization will also cause a poor looking lawn and once the lawn is established it's best to water heavy one time per week instead of light waterings everyday this will force the roots to go deep and top growth equals root development in about 3 in of root development for seed to make it through the summer so that's why it's best not to seed during the summer. your advice is pinpoint accuracy for success
Each to his own.
There are a lot of negative people in the world that just hate anything and everything. Lot's of people get upset that videos are suggested to them that they don't want so they just down vote them. Basically it comes down to people who get or are easily offended.
Thank you so much for explaining how to pick up the loosened thatch. I've watch other videos and the didn't say how, your instructions were very helpful.
Being from and in Southern New England, this video couldn't be any more perfect for me. Another thanx.
This is an amazing channel and the author is clear, crisp, and very easy to follow. Thanks. As a garden noobie, I would like to understand what is the schedule for applying Tenacity, fertilizers, aeration, and seeding an existing lawn. During which month of the year should I start and when should I apply the other products mentioned in the video... Would be super helpful.. thanks in advance.
I love this video! I have NO yard experience but would like to learn enough to maintain. This is inspiring and perfect! I feel so well educated that I purchased items today. The only issue is it's late to aerate now that it's May but my lawn is Ugly with some patches and filled with clovers, crabgrass, and white flowers i don't know the name of and want to get started. I believe I can overseed but have to water yard more often, right? I hope I don't mess up and have a yard full of just dirt from killing the grass...LOL
This was very helpful! My lawn and landscaping beds got away from me this year so I’m trying to end the season on a high note.
I found this video very informative and I can’t wait to try this soon. I do have a question: how long specifically after you kill the weeds do you plant new seed? I kind of wish you were more specific on timing. If you or anyone can please answer this question for me I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!
This was an excellent tutorial!! I was searching for one with a realistic, time-based approach that showed the step by step process, with before and after results. We are all so impressed and cannot wait to begin starting this work on September 1st :-)
There are many videos online but I love the way this one gets down to the simplest way to get good results. Thank you!
I really appreciate that. Thank you
@@SilverCymbal one question. How long did you wait to overseed after using tenacity?
@@RuLikeMikeWright The amazing news with Tenacity is that you don’t have to wait at all, the seed can go down before during or after, it has no effect on seed at all. Truly a remarkable product for weed control and different than any other. Everything you need to be weed free: Tenacity Weed Control: amzn.to/2JM4APm - Surfactant: amzn.to/2Xz6dod - Dye/Colorant: amzn.to/2Jta4yh

@@SilverCymbal thank you!
i watched your video and today have green shoots in my aerated holes. i have sprinklers and it’s still cool enough here in eastern long island that spring seeding seems to be just fine. Thank you!!!
Thank you for helping me fall in love with my yard again
I’m 15 never mowed my lawn but still watched the whole video
Daniel nice! 😂
Daniel pornhub has better videos
Typical silver spoon lazy google generation gamer baby. Get off your ass and go get a job. Oh and don't say your not old enough you can go around asking people to mow there lawns for a $1
E L I T E O N T H E B E A T shut your bitch ass up and let him live is life
E L I T E O N T H E B E A T You are a fucking idiot
So glad I saw your video! I was about to Round-up my whole lawn and start over. I will try this. I am one of those guys who kept using different seed, because I could never remember what I last used. and my lawn is very patchy.
Glad it helped. I think you will be much happier in the end this way.
Had me at "No one can keep their seed wet all day long.". Great video!
This is everything I needed to see in order to decide to just mulch my yard and turn it all into perennial flowers and veggie/fruit production. All that for grass is nuts, and this is the easy way!
September when summer is winding down.
Texas: 😂
Lol Georgia too.. we are lucky if it cools down by Halloween here
same. Michigan here
Used to live in Houston now live in Dallas where my grass scorches. Water three times a week and it ain’t good enough. I am however going to try and overseer during the fall.
In Sidious mid August here in Maine! 😉
Yeah, anything south of Missouri aint winding down!
Thank you so much! This was the best video that I've seen. And trust me I've watched a ton of them. It was simply yet thorough. Seeing your know yard gave me hope. I will post before and afters. Now to go look into aerating my lawn!.
My husband works 2900 hours a year (6 days a week) and we have Landscapers that come once a week from early April to the second week of November. My husband doesn't have time to do all of this, he tries and we probably have the best lawn on our street but he doesn't have time to mow the lawn every week so he hired a landscaper to do it. They cut our 3/4 acre property in 40 minutes for under $50 a week. The landscapers also do our Spring and Fall cleanups of our leaves and debris that accumulates over the winter. They make their money by working fast and hiring cheap laborers. My husband does the thatching and the seeding and the fertilizing on his one day off. I'll show him your videos and see what happens. He just thatched the front yard lawn yesterday with a new machine Sunsomthing that's an electric thatcher. There was a lot of dead grass under the lawn. He then used our small riding tractor to pick up the dead grass as per your thatching video. Not sure if he's going to do the back yard tomorrow or next Spring.
I'm going to use your steps today! Man this is a good video, thank you for sharing your knowledge
This video sums up the all great tips for perfect lawn. Excellent educational video! Thank you.
Great video!I like that it is what you actually did.
I bought a used Ryan aerator from Home Depot and seeded the way you did too.
It was so noticeable the very next year. I’m on my third year with doing it that way, and now using it before putting down pre emergents
I’m convinced this is the best way, hands down!

Lawn looks exactly like your bad lawn now, been years since doing anything so thanks for the video, going to help A LOT and seems easy enough
You can definitely do it! Glad the video was helpful
I'm a first time home owner right now. Can't wait to make my lawn look great. I've got a whole garden and native plants ready to go just waiting on this final cold snap (hopefully) to be over.
I stumbled on your video about tenacity and bought everything you listed. Can't wait to try this. Video seems tailor made for my situation thanks!!
That's great. Glad it will be helpful. Thank you
Don't forget to report back..like to hear.
@@vitriew most certainly will!
You make great lawn care videos, man! Thank you!
Thank you, thats very nice of you to say.
Best soup to nuts explanation for a beginner overwhelmed with weeds and what to do. Thank you!
We have tried four or five different lawn services over the last 14 years and had no success with any of them, and we had core aeration done twice a year for three years and then switched to liquid aeration the last two years. The last lawn service asked us to give them a year to get the lawn in shape and we gave them almost two and we lost another fall of doing your method. Oddly enough, our front lawn is the oldest and it does the best. The challenging part is the largest part and it was all new Bermuda sod about 6 years ago. Our HOA at the time said we had to have the same grass everywhere but our back and side yards have a lot of shade and primarily morning sun on the back. We are now allowed to do different grasses. We are in the Atlanta GA area. We had 42 trees removed from our backyard and there are literally no trees, but a great deal of shade comes from the neighbors trees in the back and parts of the side yards and on the left side of our home, the shade from the height of our home, our neighbors home and a large tree of theirs, seems to keep grass from growing for long. The sod lasted about 4 or 5 years. We have been told that we have bedrock under where the worst part of the lawn is but our HOA would not let us jackhammer the rock because they said it could affect the integrity of neighboring foundations. We aren't really allowed to have rock showing in the front yard, but a lot of our neighbors have it showing so if it is our only option, we may have to do that. On the side yards, can we grow shade grasses or at least try it? We can't afford to sod again and keep re-sodding, so we thought we should overseed with a blend of seed meant for shade like a blend with Kentucky Bluegrass and maybe some Fescue- we have neighbors that have almost total shade and their Fescue is gorgeous but they did sod. Plus we get more sun in the very back, morning sun, except for the areas with shade from neighbor's trees. We read that you shouldn't overseed Bermuda because it is too strong but it is so unhealthy, we are hoping that is not the case. The grass did best with liquid aeration and our sprinklers were installed so close to the surface, that core aeration is dangerous for our sprinklers. So we have a ton of weeds, a ton of brown spots, and quite a lot of bald areas, including one whole side of our yard. I am so overwhelmed. Can't wait until the fall again, must do something now.
Great video !!! Love the way u explain everything for the weekend Warriors - My lawn looks that bad I’m gonna start the process this spring . Thanks !!!
Can you please give a link for the water sprinkler you used in the video
This has been the best video that I have come across that really takes you step by step on making your lawn beautiful. I can't wait to get started! Thank you so much!!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for the nice comment and good luck with your renovation. You can do it!
Going to use these methods on my suffering grass here in the SW USA. Dried out, dead, and thatched. Lots of work. I’ll be back in a number of months to report progress.
This was all really good advice, except that if you have dead/bare areas then you shouldn't simply aerate before the first major seeding. The reason being that if the soil has been exposed for any length of time then nutrients and minerals are being eroded out and you won't get as good a germination. For the first recovery seeding you should spread about a half inch of top soil around and then seed over that. This is going to ensure better germination. As the lawn gets filled in, then aerating before seeding is a good way to go. Totally agree that fall is the best time to aerate and seed as the weeds have finished their own seeding and germinating, and so rolling the machine over the lawn won't help to spread them as it might in the spring. If it's taking you 1-2 hrs to aerate your lawn though, then you either have a massive property or don't know what you're doing lol! Also, don't water the seeds 3x per day as too much water can lead to fungal infections and mid-day waterings are useless because of evaporation. Deeper waterings between 5-9 am is best with maybe a shorter top-up between 5-9 pm.
ive heard someone say you should rake the area, lay the seed, and THEN lay the soil. The soil being added last will keep the seeds from blowing in the wind or birds from eating it
@@Vinny_donuts if seeds are being watered daily, they won't blow away. I've never seen flocks of birds come and feast on a grass seeding. Being under will retain more moisture, but being on top gives more solar exposure. Personal preference really. Just don't use triple mix soil as it's guaranteed to have weeds due to the cow manure
I can’t wait to see my results starting soon! I will take before and after pics I just moved to this house, I don’t know anything about yard care but I do know mines really bad. The dogs even had to go to the vet to get a fox tail removed from his paw
Bruh did you get a chance to do it???
How do you keep your dogs off? We have a large fenced in backyard & they play in it everyday
This has been extremely informative. My wife and I just bought our first home and we really want to get our yard in better shape. I will definitely be trying these suggestions. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! I have many other videos on my channel with the jobs I do myself to save me money and time.
Yeah finally getting around to fixing my lawn after owning our house for a year. Hard with the Temps up around 100 in Houston, tx.. hopefully around August I'll start this process. Lawn was looking good after I fixed the sprinkler system but man the heat has really burned our grass 🥲
