![Rich Dunk (Ft. DaBaby) - BIG DAWG [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Pz2ewsSKAEM/mqdefault.jpg)
this is the second video i watched so far and i'm already hooked (i'm new to lawn maintenance). these videos are broken down to where even i can understand and they're also entertaining.
My lawn had crab, bahia, and dallis, but all were able to be pulled up, root and all. Some weeds snap off when you pull, despite your best efforts so you can't pull the root out. But these pull great. Over time, this stuff is all but gone because my St Augustine filled in the gaps they left. These are very satisfying to pull!
I know this video is now considered super old but the knowledge and explanation is priceless. This was bare bones to the point with no BS on what you need to know about Crab Grass. I've been looking for the simplified version and you hit every point. Thank you for making this video.
Awesome video. You really made an effort to show us a wide variety of lawn samples. And thanks for the illustrations! Those were a great help!
911 whats your emergency? "There's a guy laying on the sidewalk talking to his phone...keeps pointing at the grass"
NOVA Dash Cam lol
I have told my neighbors “if you see me laying on the ground I’m not resting call 911!”
Dude, your lawn looks so amazing, I thought it was photoshopped for sure. Crazy color!
Why can't I stop watching these videos? 😄 Love it! Keep em coming! Great information! Thank you!
By far the best video on a normally pretty dry topic. Loved the simplicity of your explanations on the whiteboard! I'm not a grass fanatic, but might become one if I keep watching your videos. Just bought a ride on mower and aerator, so I'll be watching your videos a little closer. Just trying to work out what I currently have and what to seed over the next 4 weeks! Currently in the process of trying to get rid of Crabgrass as it seems to have taken over this year!
That was an awesome video! Very informative, thanks!!
Lawn Care Rookie you're welcome!
The Lawn Care Nut Very MUCH lIke the video keep it up my neighbors hate my guts but my lawn needs more of your professional help. Spraying is good. but if you have a high traffic lawn you get a lot of damage.
Rookie what was the name you said that was going to stop crabgrass at about 7:22 in the vid? I just moved to a house and trying to work on my yard. I have 50% crabgrass.
i have 60% crabgrass my house continues to go up value , twice what i bought it 30 years ago ..i have not did shit to my lawn , wasted time and polluted the soil
gasdorfic muncher you must not care about the up keep of your house or the value of your neighborhood
I wish I took as much pride in anything as you take in your lawn…
All thanks to hex_hacker09 for via ❗️♌️stagra♏️ for reactivating my snap
I have been following your tutorials and my lawn has improved very much. There is a Crab Grass invasion though and I am glad you made this video. I will follow instructions for next season. As always, thanks for the guidance.
pumareyes1 you're welcome! glad you're getting results!
This was great. Concise, informative, and not too much fluff. Thanks!
You have no idea how long I have been wondering what the hell that purple crabgrass was. Thanks for the info!
Great Video!
Loved the whiteboard explanation. This is the best produced self help lawn video I've scene.
Great video Lawn Care Nut. I've been dealing with crab grass and really hate it, your video was both entertaining and helpful. Thank you!
Thanks, nice video. Great explanation for life cycle of crab grass. I try to use organic lawncare methods and I don't worry too much about weeds. One organic alternative for prevention is to have a thick, healthy lawn that crowds out the crab grass as much as possible. Your lawn is so thick that I do not think you need to put the preemergent.
I overseeded last fall and this spring. Even used the Sunday lawn Care plan. Lawn was very full and looked fantastic! I definitely had the best looking lawn all summer. Then I still got hit hard with crabgrass this year. It's taking over and I have no clue what to do aside from ripping out the entire lawn.
You got me with the music! RUclips was on autoplay in the background so I didn't consciously click on this video (I was busy doing other chores) but the music brought me back in focus. It was worth it, and I've been educated. The theme music served its purpose! Thanks!
+toyetoyetoye that's awesome thank you!!
Nice work. Very informative. Usually don't like videos like this but was sort of entertaining. The music was tolerable too! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Super thanks. I am dealing with this since last year. Never had it in my lawn before.
Just found your channel, thanks for the info. Newly interested in lawn care because I can't afford a lawn care guy!
Your editing skills are great. I wish workout videos had your skills.
Ahhhhhhhhh I thought I have crab grass but I have clumping fescue grass. You are the first one who has said anything about it! Thank you!
Always with the quality content sir👏🏽👏🏽
Great video. As a heads up, the Lesco Pre-M isn't available everywhere and I believe Home Depot only sells it in the southern markets. I tried ordering that this past year but they can't deliver it and it isn't in any stores around here. Instead I was able to get a Lesco Pre-M through John Deere landscaping.
Bryan Hulke yes I know it's tough. John Deere Landscapes is where I always go for it also. Thank you for the heads up!!
Congrats! on selling your home. Look forward to your next journey of "dominating" your new neighbor.
Kevin Dowe thank you!
lcn, I'm your neighbor in WI & I think your tips are helpful. thanx
Amazing video man, very uplifting fresh and educational, thanks.
Hi Lawn Care Nut
Any chance you could elaborate a little more or make a short video on the clumping fescue? I would love to rid my lawn of this.
Thanks
Steve
I have the same question. Would it be better to kill the clumping fescue first or can we just rent a sod cutter and take it out?
Amber Deleo a sod cutter still leaves behind roots that will grow back.
Depending on how much you have, you can use full strength Roundup in a small needle glue or oiler bottle that can be purchased to Hobby Stores. You can put one drop on each blade, and it will kill it. Fescue is really a problem grass unless you have a horse pasture. Obviously this one blade at a time is tedious but it is selective, and does work if you have patience and not too much Fescue. If you have a lot, you might consider killing it all with Roundup, and then replacing the sod.
AD. you have to kill it with Roundup through the leaf or blade. If you dig it out first there is not enough plant left to kill, and it will come back through the roots remaining in the ground.
It takes 2:09 before he says anything remotely interesting about crab grass, just jump to that point. Great info after that, however. You're welcome, visitors.
Thanks!
So what.... he's funny! :-D
@@Sheffield6688 time is money - it you are in this just for entertainment, then enjoy wasting your life. If he wants a "time waster" channel then fine. But I suspect he will actually appreciate this type of feedback since it's real.
@@fordguyfordguy Lol!! :-D
I agree Andrew, just get to the Fn point!
You explain things so well! Thank you.
This video,was so helpful,Sir. Thx you so much.
For someone like me who just wants the facts - I have to say this video was entertaining
+Anthony Quinn Mke glad you liked it!
"Oh wait, this is what your grass probably looks like." Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaa. I can't. That was awesome!
That was hilarious
Hey Allyn, thanks for all your useful lawn tips!!! I'm gonna get that crabgrass post emergent, just wondering what's a good sprayer to use. What would you recommend? I'm new to this but you inspire me too get out there tackle it man!! Thanks again!!
Fellow Hoosier here. Love the channel thanks so much
clumping fescue, man i always thought that was crabgrass
We call it Quack grass. Ordinary week killer has no effect on it, and it can eventually take over the whole yard. You can spot treat it with weed-and-grass killer.
He has permanent stripes! If he did it double wide and towards the street you'd be jealous..
Picking up Sunnyland crabgrass pre emergent at Lowes. I hope it's not too late .Love all your videos. Thank you again.
Just got my first home and I want to have the best lawn in the neighborhood which let me to your vids. keep up the good work your super informative and fun to watch. who know lawn care could be so much fun! Thanks
+Adam Ducharme yes on seed/soil contact - very important. And you can seed and starter fert same day.
It is a good idea to buy the pre-emergent early in the spring. Once they run out of it at the store, they do not restock it until the following spring. I have had very good luck with Scott's Weed n Feed with HALTS. I buy the 15,000 square feet bag, and only use 1/3 of it at a time, wait two weeks and use another 1/3, wait two weeks and use the final 1/3.
MJ Hammer Exactly I have learned when you realize you have a grabgrass infestation it is to late to buy the stuff to kill it!
This is the golden age of ordering online. You can order things any time of year and have them delivered to store or directly to your home or business.
Great videos!! Very fun! I sense you watch Casey Neistat??
Garden Answer yes and I see some of that in your vids too! He has been an influence on so many.
The Lawn Care Nut Agreed!!
Garden Answer yes
What's the name of the music in your video
Garden Answer 3 yrs later
You are the grass doctor! very informative video.....thanks!
Love your videos, informative and easy to listen to. Subscribed!
Good demonstration ....... thanks for returning to the most basic and best , yet least used ( on RUclips anyway ) instruction aid - chalkboard
Yesquiet I figured it was the only way to really demonstrate the lifecycle of crab grass. Glad you liked it!
lol, except it is called a white board.... Not so basic, it is cutting edge tech..haha
Congratulations on the sale of your home LCN. I hope you do not move in next door to me though.
heystarfish100 you never know! :)
+heystarfish100 LOL
@ 3.38 what weed is that.. it destroyed my lawn. You say remove it
🙏 Thanks LCN, you helped me get rid of the crabgrass in my lawn
You my friend need your own tv show.... great video clear and entertaining!
Dude ... U are smokin! Not grass, of course but highly informative.
we should smoke some grass and then work on our grass.
I don't understand why people like to mow their yard so low ,especially tall fescue ,that was the problem in the last yard ,mowing too low ,and not fertilizing well.. Here in California we like to do pre-emergent herbicide in February, because in March is already 70 degrees. I like to do fertilizing 1 mont before the Dimention 270. Is only a opinion.
+Cobra 03 Same here. I've seen people absolutely scalp their grass and not only is it really bad for the health of the lawn, it just looks bad. Some people don't have the first clue how to care for their lawn and to make it look great but strangely in their minds they're doing it right and everyone else is wrong!
Sadly, my neighbors do that and even the landscapers they hire do that. They scalp it down to the dirt and destroy the roots. They also like to mow across into my property too where I try to keep my St. Augustine at least 3.5 inches. They are probably like, "This lazy guy here... his grass is so tall, he must never mow it. I'll just send him a message."
I guess if you can buy a riding mower and a trailer, you're all of a sudden a "landscaper" lol. Then they mow it down to the dirt and kill the grass. smh.
Others are just too lazy to mow so they think if they mow it as low as possible they can wait a month before mowing it again... lol
Then one of my next-door neighbors has the most epic sea of 1000's of yellow dandelions. He is a health nut who walks every morning at dawn but is too lazy to mow... huh? When my lawn is healthy and at nearly 4 inches, the dandelions can't even grow in my yard, no matter how many he has.
Perfect description from the beguining! How is desiguined, how grow and how can we get rid it, keep it in that way!
Thanks for the video! Learned a lot. Time to get rid of my crab grass. Love the scenic route you took in Chicago. My hometown. I live in ks now.
Thanks. Very informative.....but that music HAS to go!
ok I'll fix it.
The music was EXCELLENT!
That music is lit
this dude takes his lawn way 2 serious. lol
No such thing as too serious. It's called pride in ownership
i will take anal any day .... oh wait .. shit..
Rather he wait till the HOA jumps on him till he works on his yard?
shit ton chemicals holy fuck ..cancer much
gasdorfic muncher troll!
A wealth of information. Nice job!
just found your channel! I am learning so much! thank you!!!
Learn to get to the point dude
Learn to put a point on the end of your sentence.
Or find another person to watch.
Exactly, they need to be on point RUclipsrs.
A - MEN !!!
I agree!! I'm looking to people who've tried a certain product, etc to see if it works or not, that's it!!
don't put chemicals on your lawn.
seriously... you people think you are entitled to pour poisons on your lawn to keep it green.
That garbage poisons groundwater and sickens or kills beneficial organisms such as bees, worms, birds...
god made those for a resion , rich people dump chems in soil .
What is "resion"?
peppe I don't use anymore. Your right it kills, alot of wildlife. We use to see alot of horn toads, bees, not now.
peppe don’t put hamsters in your butt
Thanks for the great information!
This was a great video - learned a lot of useful information. Thanks!
Too much useless dialog. Get to the point
GREAT info! I will subscribe!
just moved to Knoxville, TN onto .6 acres of weeds!! This was very helpful and entertaining!
this was great!!!!! informative and fun like the best teacher you can remember...
Love your video editing and humor/attitude great vid
Good explanation of the life cycle.
If you see some pull it out at the root by hand, keep a thicker lawn.
Very informative video, the classroom portion and editing were very amusing and kept my interest.Well done video thank you...
sstocker31 nice thanks~!
Thanks for the video!
Thanks for the tips! My crabgrass is rampant right now...just like you said it would be in July. I'll be sure to lay down the pre-emergent this coming spring.
love your videos, funny but informative
Very informative thnx
Great video, very informative and somewhat entertaining
Great video!!
IN Antigo Wisconsin this year i got crap grass the 2 week in April lol SO I HIT UP RUclips TO FIND HELP U R My new go to lawn guid/help ty so much
Your video was so fun to watch and I learned about the pesky ass crabgrass. I just bought a home with the worse grass on the block. I'm taking the time to nurture it and can use all the help I can get. It has every weed in the book growing. I wish I could afford to dig it up and start from scratch but I'm going to try my hand at green thumb methods first. Thanks for the videos!
How'd the lawn turn out after 4 years?
Very informative and cool video!!! What blend of grass are you using?
Loved the editing and music, great info! Any tips to keep a 50/50 mix lawn of bluegrass / tall fescue green during 100 degree dry west desert heat? I have sandy soil, it is better to water every day at 50% or every other day at 100%? Just curious
Great explanation, and humor lol
I laid the scotts crab grass preventer in early spring. Am in Michigan. With being summer what month and or temp is ideal to spread the same product again to help for next year??? If the crab grass is at the 4th or 5th stage will the granules work???
Great video bud. Lots of good info!!
Great content and channel! I live in NY and have warm season grass. I am looking for a good pre-emergent. How do you feel about Prodiamine?
Hi Great video. Thanks! Can I use weed and crabgrass killer on my lawn right after I put down a feed only fertilizer?
The Lawn Care Nut Is there anyway to get rid of bermuda grass from st augustine without resodding the whole lawn? or keeping it from growing in zoysia cavalier grass?
I just did a lawn renovation. My lawn was 26 yrs old and needed redone. I killed the lawn first with round up. And left it almost a month to make sure it was dead. I then rented a sod cutter and removed the existing sod base and hauled it away. The bare ground was as clean as whistle and no further weeds or grass appeared over the next week. I had a tiller rented as well and tilled up the base so the new seed would have a good base to attach to. I added one tandem load of top soil from the same company that I rented the sod cutter, tiller, and roller from. We spread out the soil and noticed some dead grass pieces in the top soil of which my experienced landscaping help had never seen. We pulled out most of what we could out of this new top soil. The lawn was spread out and rolled a starter fertilizer was laid down and mixed in along with Scott’s turf builder sunny mix/ bluegrass with water tech coating as we are going through a drought. The seed performed as expended and appeared evenly in about 10 days. Everything seemed to be going great. Then all these bladed like weeds stared appearing. I looked it up and it was crab grass. Apparently I purchased contaminated soil. As I now have more weeds than I did with the old lawn. I will have to have this bad soil removed and start over as my goal was to be starting with nice clean slate of grass and not a mess of weeds. My neighbour purchased the same top soil from the same company and he now also has to redo his lawn as he has the exact same crab grass weeds.
Very informative and entertaining. Thanks
nice video, I like your humorous style of presenting.
Hey LCN!! Thanks for the info on the video. I have an outbreak of crabgrass, if it has made it to 2nd tiller stage, what percentage of quinclorac would do the trick? Most of the stuff I have found have ~3.5% ....is that enough?
Ohhh my lawn has tons of it...moved in last year and neighboors say previous owners have done nothing with lawn since house was there, since 1974.....it looks somewhat better now since I've been working on it, but now along with dandelions, I've got crabgrass lol.....gotta get me that pre-emergent for next spring, thanks!
Question. In April I tilled the entire lawn and seeded a fescue bluegrass mix. It's now July 3rd and it's now a beautiful green carpet except an area near my neighbors house and it's covered in crap grass. If I spray and just expect the orange color your talking about, can I reseed in sept? When will the orange go away?
Clumping fescue... Thank you so much
Thank you so much for your time explaining all this. Would you let me know what is the name of the product you mention for mature weeds. I couldn't get my English is not too good...;-)
Awesome video...thanks a lot !
Lawn is littered with Clover and Crab Grass and other weeds, have a very hard time growing grass and every fall around now end up with big bare yellow patches. Was new sod 4 years ago and it never really took off, biggest issue is watering because of the size ( approx 5000 sq feet) do I focus on thickening the lawn first or tackle the weeds first? Or go at it both simultaneously ? Thanks for any help advice you can give.
I recently moved from a house that had alot of crab grass, my new lawn has yet to be laid, should I take my mower to a spray wash both to rid any left over seedlings...thanks
Great vid as always. U should sell some of your TTTF to your fans. I would love to use it as a border for my bedroom. My wife would love that idea. Keep those sick vids coming!!
Great video and very detail with your presentation which was very helpful. I just subscribed your channel.
Great Video! Thumbs up! I have crabgrass growing along my driveway on both sides. Can I use the Pre-emergent and seed at the same time? I have a Fescue lawn and its been neglected for many years (its a rental) It also was a really hot summer last year and I didn't water near enough. I'm afraid that some of the grass died and wont grow back in the spring. I'm not really sure what to do.
Great video dude!!
Just a question - you mentioned surfactants while spraying for clover. Would adding this to the 'quinclorac' chemical you mentioned improve its ability to target later-stage crabgrass?
☆Hey Allen quick question , if I bag my clippings will that prevent further crabgrass? And do I have to do a second crabgrass treatment in summer if I did one in spring???
