Well I’m sure this will be the first of many comments but I have enjoyed your channel and have gained a lot of knowledge on the how to’s on getting my lawn into shape. Doubt I could keep that beautiful blue alive but I currently have Bermuda in the north yard and fescue in the south yard. But anyways keep making these videos there are full of knowledge and Entertaining.
Love that Tenacity. Sometimes I get a little crazy with it and get some white spots. Put it down last fall and spring and it knocked the hell out of the crabgrass. Weeds are no problem but invasive grass is. I use it to kill nimblewill.
That's great to hear! Good hygiene us very important even in Utah!! 😆 Good luck with the coke party on the 13th. I'd love to attend but I'm 2000 miles away...
We have been applying Tenacity to combat nimblewill in our lawns the last 3 years. After 2 years applying it to the whole lawn we started doing spot applications from a backpack sprayer and have much less unintentional bleaching of the lawn as a whole.
And what most people don't realize is the work put into the videos. A family, full time job, lawn work, and RUclips! These videos don't just make themselves. You are right my friend. It is!
Did you do a broadcast app of tenacity recently or spot spray? I know you used it at seed down as a pre emergent. I love tenacity. Did two apps backs in June and one more right before I put my seed down a few weeks ago. Stuff works great. I need to do one more app soon for the remaining weeds it didn’t get I just hope I don’t go over the annual maximum limit. Might turn the kbg temporarily white but it will bounce back. That stuff is resilient. And it will fill in. Maybe not this year any more with temps dropping rapidly around here but it will fill in next year hopefully! That little garden area looks good! I need to plant some more stuff in my front flower garden next spring. It’s not as full as I would like yet.
👉 The 'bleaching' is actually the Tenacity stopping the photosynthesis process from occurring in the weeds. Thus no chlorophyll and they turn white! I have freaked plenty of customers out over the years applying Tenacity!!! Works great though and you can still sow seed before/after immediately after, etc. whenever...no seeding limitations. I loved it because of the wide range of weeds it controls including grassy weeds + the bonus of being able to seed and kill weeds at the same time.
To turn the groomer on and off there should be a Knob with F,R,N on it for forward reverse and neutral. Set it to neutral when you don't want to use it, forward for minor cleanups and reverse to really get aggressive.The lever you flipped just lowers or raises the groomer unit down to turf height.
At 3.00 that looks like the poa annua the pain of European sports turf ~ it basically keeps producing those white seeds all the time it will die with heat/drought stress . The tenacity will probably do it for you but only with repeat treatment ~ have nothing like Tenacity in Europe ~ we have to dig it out as the seeds lye dormant within the top layer of soil so it’s a tuff deal with....... love your efforts on the channel
When you cut those trees down you should do a stump burning video or 3 different ways to get rid of the stumps. We all know having it ground out is the easiest way. But still it's fun to watch creative ways to get rid of them.
The tenacity bleaching on the actual bluegrass will be fine. It won’t kill the kbg but you’ll have to look at it until it grows in and gets mowed. My wife wasn’t a fan either ha. Usually it happens when you apply decently heavy
The grass at 2:50 looks like Poe annua from the video an ID characteristic would be seed heads coming from the grass and a folded leaf tenacity won’t kill Poa just bentgrass roundup is one of the only ways to get rid of poa u could also u PGRs to suppress the seed heads so it would spread as fast
That could be Poa Trivialis at 2:50. It dominates in the wettest, shadiest areas of the lawn. It will turn white or even brown & dead looking, but the tenacity won't kill it.
I agree, it's hard to tell from the video, but it does look like it could be poa trivialis based on the color and growth habit. It might be worth hitting it with gly now while it is manageable and then maybe plugging some good KBG from other parts of the yard or sheets of sod.
If that undesirable around the 3 minute mark is bentgrass it might take 2-3 applications to get rid of it. I’ve been battling it in my lawn the last two seasons. Tenacity should kill it but it takes awhile
Looks like bent grass to me also. I found out what it was after spraying tenacity on a renovation I did that butts up to bentgrsss. 2 apps of tenacity 2 weeks apart and it will be gone
Definitely safer... Way less enjoyable for sure. I personally prefer the blanket app because it's way easier. It may stunt the good grass but it always comes back.
A second app of tenacity of new seed seems to be a point of contention between pros. Some say it’ll stress new grass from seed too much, even when following guidance on label. What’s your opinion?
Raising the groomer usually works better than turning it off. (JD has a simple system for that, Which is useful after mowing on topdressed surfaces) If you turn a Groomer off and leave it in it's operating position it will just drag over the turf.
Clutch Engagement/Disengagement The grooming reel should be disengaged at all times ex- cept during grooming. IMPORTANT: When engaging or disengaging the clutch, be sure to turn the clutch knob all the way until it comes to a firm stop. Failure to do so could cause damage to the clutch. 1. Depress clutch snubber and engage the clutch by turning the clutch knob counterclockwise. 2. Turn clutch knob clockwise to disengage the clutch.
Hey Conner, I don't know if this will help or not disabling the groomer but go to the below link, scroll down 3/4 way to figure 27. It's the groomer operating direction forward/reverse/neutral positions located on the drive box. It's worth a look see. hth ~ Mike manuals.toro.com/152731/index.html?rnd=0.1760018899517678
The grassy weeds that didn't die with the Tenacity app looks like alfalfa grass, I bet it came from the cow dung. Anyhow, the paver parking lot looks nice and I want the right side reserved for me if I ever make that way one day.
It seems strange to me that the front roller flattens the blade and the groomer lifts it . I’m wondering if the groomer should be turning the opposite direction,
It lifts it and it acts as a mini verticutter for slicing stolons or thick spongy lawn. Apparently it is not to be used every mow. Only once a week or less
Usually they will wilt and die and the KBG will fill in. Tenacity is a great product for certain applications. There are better herbicides for mature turf weed control in general though. I use Tenacity as a pre emergent when overseeding and it's great.
Deer's loves Pansy .My wife keep telling I been hitting the pansy with the weed eater. I said do you think I would chop them down after spending 50 bucks for them.
Tenacity bleached my good grass as well as weeds. You can tell where I spot sprayed as a fair amount of my good grass is now white going on 2 weeks. Don’t think I over applied. Any ideas what went wrong. Thanks
Ya it took about 3 weeks or so but finally grew out back to green. Nothing died but sure made the grass look like heck for a while. Personally i will probably stick to the basics like some sort of weed n feed variant. That stuff works fair but at least doesnt make the grass look bad for so long. Growing season isnt long up north
Your lawn has more bleaching from tenacity than any boy bands hair. Is this after the second round of tenacity in 14 days, or was this the results off one round?
Hard to say what it is. I get it from the RUclips audio library. It's free music that is copy right safe. Just go on there and and you'll see all of it
The concept of being able to pause your work outside and do something else (like go inside and eat dinner) then start again, is completely foreign in South Carolina. You see, after simply walking outside for 15 minutes, you’re soaking wet through your clothes with sweat. Down here our goal is first, not to die, second, hopefully make our homes look better. 😩😩
Connor Ward thanks for the response. I’m pretty sure I’ve made up my mind to go ahead and do concrete. I need to make sure I love the layout before I actually do it since it’s more permanent than live edge.
Thank you for upping the bitrate. Compare to your old vids I hope you can see the difference yourself because it's very obvious on my screen. That being said it looks like a disaster if everything you lit up with tenacity is poa. How would you deal with all that?
Looking good. You like your grass short or long? I know you're going short just wonder what you like best. And why is everyone going short now? Is it better?
I thought you killed your lawn in the first place because of weeds.... I am confused. EDIT: I just rewatched the original video. You mentioned the poa multiple times as one of the reasons, so I remembered that over the mono-stand reason. My bad.
Whenever you seed there’s bound to be some weed seed in the grass seed. Still better than sod. Sod will always look like a toupee no matter ho old it gets.
Well I’m sure this will be the first of many comments but I have enjoyed your channel and have gained a lot of knowledge on the how to’s on getting my lawn into shape. Doubt I could keep that beautiful blue alive but I currently have Bermuda in the north yard and fescue in the south yard.

Love that Tenacity. Sometimes I get a little crazy with it and get some white spots. Put it down last fall and spring and it knocked the hell out of the crabgrass. Weeds are no problem but invasive grass is. I use it to kill nimblewill.
I bought that for my lawn and the broadleaf grasses turned absolutely white. My lawn now is one of the best looking lawns in the neighborhood.
Please tell us you washed your hands before dinner, after picking up the cow patties...
I always wash after yard work. Hands are always filthy
That's great to hear! Good hygiene us very important even in Utah!! 😆
Good luck with the coke party on the 13th. I'd love to attend but I'm 2000 miles away...
Dahm! You work harder after work than most people do all day.
Well I work a desk job so this is my chance
The paver driveway looks awesome! Love the way it finished up. Great job!
Thanks. It was a crap load of work
My experience with tenacity is use the lower rates. Apply 3-4 times spread out 3 weeks apart. Turf looks good
We have been applying Tenacity to combat nimblewill in our lawns the last 3 years. After 2 years applying it to the whole lawn we started doing spot applications from a backpack sprayer and have much less unintentional bleaching of the lawn as a whole.
Your work ethic is next level.....
And what most people don't realize is the work put into the videos. A family, full time job, lawn work, and RUclips! These videos don't just make themselves. You are right my friend. It is!
I know it was a big undertaking, but that paver project turned out excellent.
Huge undertaking. Well worth it
True DIY, hard work. Love it, can't get more real then this.
Paver parking pad looks amazing! I always enjoy how u never show any type of hesitation or nervousness to tackle any project. Very encouraging.
“Extreme mountain enjoyment” means something a little different near the Appalachian Mountains. Cue banjo music.
Ha.....
This man does more hard work than most of the home tv shows that i have seen. When does he get his own tv show on the network channel??????
Pavers look awesome. Can't wait until I can use my greensmaster mower again.
Paver project looks amazing! great job with all the details! Cant wait to see your lawn come along! Looking good already

Best lawn vlogs ever.
It's undebatable!
Things appear to be progressing well. Wondering if you're planning on extending the lawn beyond the dead trees to the street as a future project.
Yes. Hopefully spring 2020 on that
Connor, the paver driveway looks mint. Well done.
Took a long time to complete it but it was worth it
THE MORE YOU MOW IT THE MORE YOU GROW IT! RAWRRRRRR
Yes exactly
To turn the groomer on and off there should be a Knob with F,R,N on it for forward reverse and neutral. Set it to neutral when you don't want to use it, forward for minor cleanups and reverse to really get aggressive.The lever you flipped just lowers or raises the groomer unit down to turf height.
So if you keep the grass at say 3 inches would mowing often still result in the grass getting thicker and growing better?
At 3.00 that looks like the poa annua the pain of European sports turf ~ it basically keeps producing those white seeds all the time it will die with heat/drought stress . The tenacity will probably do it for you but only with repeat treatment ~ have nothing like Tenacity in Europe ~ we have to dig it out as the seeds lye dormant within the top layer of soil so it’s a tuff deal with....... love your efforts on the channel
Thanks. Yes poa is a constant battle for sure and quite honestly not winnable
I heard by putting copper nails in to the tree kills them.
When you cut those trees down you should do a stump burning video or 3 different ways to get rid of the stumps. We all know having it ground out is the easiest way. But still it's fun to watch creative ways to get rid of them.
The tenacity bleaching on the actual bluegrass will be fine. It won’t kill the kbg but you’ll have to look at it until it grows in and gets mowed. My wife wasn’t a fan either ha. Usually it happens when you apply decently heavy
Looks like Nimblewill to me. I have it in my yard and Tenacity kills it.
That patch that had very shallow roots looked like nimblewill.
The grass at 2:50 looks like Poe annua from the video an ID characteristic would be seed heads coming from the grass and a folded leaf tenacity won’t kill Poa just bentgrass roundup is one of the only ways to get rid of poa u could also u PGRs to suppress the seed heads so it would spread as fast
You nailed it!
That could be Poa Trivialis at 2:50. It dominates in the wettest, shadiest areas of the lawn. It will turn white or even brown & dead looking, but the tenacity won't kill it.

Methylated seed oil works well with Tenacity to hit the bentgrass hard. Might ding the new turf a little but it will recover
I don’t know much about it except from watching videos on it. I don’t think I would try it on such new turf. Maybe just spot spraying
kenny cooper
I have experience with using this application method in my lawn care business. I agree that spot /zone treatments are safer
Definitely safer... Way less enjoyable for sure. I personally prefer the blanket app because it's way easier. It may stunt the good grass but it always comes back.
A second app of tenacity of new seed seems to be a point of contention between pros. Some say it’ll stress new grass from seed too much, even when following guidance on label. What’s your opinion?
I'm for it. Yes you're likely stressing out the new seedlings. I think that you do a second app but with a lighter rate
Can we just mention the bad-A t-shirt? I let it slide once but not this time!
Raising the groomer usually works better than turning it off. (JD has a simple system for that, Which is useful after mowing on topdressed surfaces) If you turn a Groomer off and leave it in it's operating position it will just drag over the turf.
You have a large driveway, why do you need a larger one? It looks great though!!
Need somewhere for guests to park unfortunately. Driveway sure... But it's always full of crap and at times it's not enough parking
Clutch Engagement/Disengagement
The grooming reel should be disengaged at all times ex-
cept during grooming.
IMPORTANT: When engaging or disengaging the
clutch, be sure to turn the clutch knob all the way
until it comes to a firm stop. Failure to do so could
cause damage to the clutch.
1. Depress clutch snubber and engage the clutch by
turning the clutch knob counterclockwise.
2. Turn clutch knob clockwise to disengage the clutch.
no way to turn off my groomer. Its on or off with the spin of the reel. I have looked and inspected it closely. it is also either up or down.
You do a great job with your bed edging, they're nice and deep, very sharp looking!
Thanks
After you cut those trees I would put some more roundup on the fresh cut to double make sure there crispy
Love it 😊
When r u planning to remove the trees and fix that area?
Wish we could get tenacity in England!
+1 I've looked far and wide. Will have to take a very cheeky trip to Europe ;)
tenny will not kill poa triv, i use tenancity and than spray the white spots with certainty
Dude when are you going to get some garden edging some big ish river rocks would look good then you can bring them beds up
Not sure
Or even old stepping stone like your walkway then it can all blend in 👌
correct you can turn the groomer off, you can also remove the groomer.
Wow that’s pretty interesting! Nice video! New truck?!?
Great. You AND Allyn Hane, together, on FRIDAY THE 13th. I can't imagine the mayhem that will be produced.
Gonna be awesome
love the shirt!
Omg look at that Dahlia!!!!

Just came in from working in the lawn and looked at that pdf. Good info. I will take a look at it
The grassy weeds that didn't die with the Tenacity app looks like alfalfa grass, I bet it came from the cow dung. Anyhow, the paver parking lot looks nice and I want the right side reserved for me if I ever make that way one day.
When do you get to fell those trees?
Not sure when I will do that. Probably around October ish
First Aussie 😁loving your gardens and hanging baskets. The paved area is looking good. Busy little bee you’ve been lately. 😁👍👍
Hellllllo Trevor!👊😎
Good early Saturday morning to you. Have a great day.😁
It seems strange to me that the front roller flattens the blade and the groomer lifts it . I’m wondering if the groomer should be turning the opposite direction,
It lifts it and it acts as a mini verticutter for slicing stolons or thick spongy lawn. Apparently it is not to be used every mow. Only once a week or less
Guy threw out like $250 in ply wood
Nice Cummins!
Hahahaha all primal with the shit🤭😂😂😁🌱
At 3:00 it looks like bent grass
What is that flower at the 2:30 mark? It's beautiful
So what do you do after the tenacity aftermath? Do you just leave the dead weeds there?
Usually they will wilt and die and the KBG will fill in. Tenacity is a great product for certain applications. There are better herbicides for mature turf weed control in general though. I use Tenacity as a pre emergent when overseeding and it's great.
Deer's loves Pansy .My wife keep telling I been hitting the pansy with the weed eater. I said do you think I would chop them down after spending 50 bucks for them.
Yeah exactly. The deer are a pisser offer for sure
Tenacity bleached my good grass as well as weeds. You can tell where I spot sprayed as a fair amount of my good grass is now white going on 2 weeks. Don’t think I over applied. Any ideas what went wrong. Thanks
This is the nature of tenacity. It's not great stuff. Makes everything white. Don't worry about it. It will grow through
Chris did your good grass ever recover?
I spot sprayed Tencity, and it has bleached my 5 week old Tall Fescue where I sprayed.
Ya it took about 3 weeks or so but finally grew out back to green. Nothing died but sure made the grass look like heck for a while. Personally i will probably stick to the basics like some sort of weed n feed variant. That stuff works fair but at least doesnt make the grass look bad for so long. Growing season isnt long up north
Spike from Dow Agrosciences should help with killing those trees or look at Tordon. That might be what you need to finish those trees off
Oh man! My crabgrass, clover and other weeds look almost as good as your lawn.
I bet.
Nice video what was the product that your wife had put in the hole before she put the plants in and the black dude around your tree is part is all
Slow release fertilizer. Call ozmocote
Your lawn has more bleaching from tenacity than any boy bands hair.
Is this after the second round of tenacity in 14 days, or was this the results off one round?
First initial app seed down date. Second app 6 weeks later
Has anyone in the comments tried"Two Putt" perennial poa annua in the shade?
It is advertised as low mow creeping bluegrass.
Thanks to whoever.
How long should I wait to dethatch after spot treatment of tenacity?
I'd wait until it's dead and brown
Have you been watering that much or has the ground just been that saturated since you seeded?
Too much watering
September 13th?! Why are you waiting so long lol. Can’t wait to see Allyn on your channel. Bring Ryan Knorr out too

ruclips.net/video/RP4ayHNfv0c/видео.html
Like your background music. Isn’t that the same song John uses sometimes on Lawncology? Who is the artist and song name?
Hard to say what it is. I get it from the RUclips audio library. It's free music that is copy right safe. Just go on there and and you'll see all of it
at like the 8 minute mark, you threw away thousands of dollars AKA plywood! Jokes aside, great video!
Seen you had a tripod sprinkler in the back l purchased Impact Sled from Big Sprinkler.com the coverage is awesome
I will check that out
The concept of being able to pause your work outside and do something else (like go inside and eat dinner) then start again, is completely foreign in South Carolina.
You see, after simply walking outside for 15 minutes, you’re soaking wet through your clothes with sweat.
Down here our goal is first, not to die, second, hopefully make our homes look better. 😩😩
Haha! Quite a similar story in Arkansas!
Ha ha.. This would make lawn care not as enjoyable for sure
Amen
What are your thoughts on concrete bed edging?
Split emotions on that stuff. My parents have it and it's nice. It's good for lower maintenance
Connor Ward thanks for the response. I’m pretty sure I’ve made up my mind to go ahead and do concrete. I need to make sure I love the layout before I actually do it since it’s more permanent than live edge.
Make sure you hide the flamingo while he's there!
Good thought. Glad that you mentioned that.
You could of sold that ply wood for good money.
Where is the video of you finishing the pavers?! C'mon dont leave us hangin!
It will come. People yell and scream at me for not posting current content. I just don't have enough time to edit all the footage that I take
I understand! Sometimes we forget you work a day job....
Mow, mow, mow the crap out of the freaking lawn... 🤣
Did anyone else think...get a leaf rake. But I'm not a rebel.
I rather cut grass in the desert than cook!
Nimblewill?
Why not leave the cow poo? Isn’t that good for your lawn?
no more flat bed?
looks like someone got a new truck
Thank you for upping the bitrate. Compare to your old vids I hope you can see the difference yourself because it's very obvious on my screen. That being said it looks like a disaster if everything you lit up with tenacity is poa. How would you deal with all that?
Hard to say really. I wouldn't be surprised if it was poa. Poa is a losing battle really.
what is the name of the plants yellow and pink
I am really starting to appreciate this channel now
Watching that limber get thrown out hurts a year later....
Looking good. You like your grass short or long? I know you're going short just wonder what you like best. And why is everyone going short now? Is it better?
Short. Always been a short cut kind of guy. I've never cut it long
I thought you killed your lawn in the first place because of weeds.... I am confused.
EDIT: I just rewatched the original video. You mentioned the poa multiple times as one of the reasons, so I remembered that over the mono-stand reason. My bad.
Poa. Monostand and mainly I just wanted to know for sure what variety of grass I had
Whenever you seed there’s bound to be some weed seed in the grass seed. Still better than sod. Sod will always look like a toupee no matter ho old it gets.
Who wore it better? Billy Idol or your lawn?
Take allan to get raspberry shakes
The lawn could use a little bit more Terps just sayin...
Idiots? No thanks
Watching this in 2021 and thinking to myself Mr. Ward just threw away $600 worth of wood😂
you may just have to have at one of those deer
i cried watching him throw out $18,000,435 dollars worth of wood :(
What are you having for dinner?
Can't remember actually
0:58... Is that still the stupid bike people's tracks?!
Good eye
Yes sir
