@PoloFieldslawnservice Polo another great video!! Great breakdown on the 3 yards. It's clear and to the point for folks. Thansk for the info you gave me two years ago on fungus, i got hit woth fungus and the invasion of Army worms here in Maryland that Aug, I immediately dead a full reno on the damaged areas( approximately 10ksqft), by the spring the lawn had bounced back to a strong Lawn#1 status. To all the folks in here reading comments.** PAY ATTENTION **, as a lawn #1 owner this man is spreading some real gems of knowledge on you for FREE. Watch the videos, take notes, re-watch, and study. He is giving you the blue print, not only for a better lawn, but a house with better curb appeal and increased value....Polo, keep up the good work. Like the shirt says "We be working"...
I appreciate you and your kind words twane. THANK YOU for tuning in to my videos and adhering to the information. My number #1 goal in my lawn company is the same as the goal here on RUclips, and that's to have everyone my lawn either look like mine or look even better. Thank you for your support, and I'm glad that I could help you out to have a lawn #1 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Sure appreciate you taking up time to do these informative videos. I’m glad to say I don’t have lawn #3 but admit I have lawn #2. Now I know what I gotta do. Thank you.
You're welcome, Ms. Pearson. I appreciate you and thank you for your kind words because these videos DO take up a lot of time 😆 I'm glad that this information has helped you. You're almost there to lawn #1. Keep going. You'll be there before you know it 👌🏾
Thanks Polo I'm really leaning a lot from all of your videos I'm able to spot different lawn issues before they get out of hand and doing a little research goes a long always thanks for the great info 💯💪💪.
My neighbor asked me to get her #3 lawn looking good. Needless to say she got that holy water yesterday. Its only 350 sqft so it should be fairly easy.
Excellent video! My Ohio lawn was cut low, thatched, over seeded and fertilized a few weeks ago. Watering in the am with temps in the low 70's. Thank you for your expertise.
When I moved in 3 years ago I had lawn #3. The bare spots were so bad they'd stir up enough dust to choke the mower. I'd have to stop, bang out the air filter and carry on. I was afraid to totally nuke it. I started with seeding the bare spots. Then I messed with weed killers. 3 years in and it's getting there. Unfortunately my immediate next door neighbor does nothing but mow down the weeds in her lawn #3 so I will always be dealing with weed pressure. As for phosphorus, some state like NJ where I live have fertilizer laws. I'm not even allowed to put down phosphorus unless I have seed on the ground or a soil test that shows I need it. They're trying to prevent run off which messes up the local waterways.
They also have those laws in Maryland as well. As long as your seeding and your soil rest show a deficiency, you should be fine. It seems like all that you need to do is a good overseeding. As far as the weed pressure, this is a constant issue with some folks. All that I do with my clients is stay up on my pre - and post emergents. It works out for them as far as keeping a butt load of weeds out of their lawns. They may have a few weeds, but only enough for me to spot spray and not do a blanket spray
Hello Timeless, that fungicide will be fine. I would go down with 2 modes of action, though, so adding Propiconizole with it will help. Just make sure that since you have the disease that you go down with the high rate. So 0.8oz per 1,000 sqft of that Hertitage SC and apply the short intervals which is every 14 days.
Great stuff..1 thing, the bass in the music was louder then you, a lil hard to hear. I have leaf spot and melt out in a 2yr seeded TTF/KBG lawn. Been treating with Propiconazole 14.3 and Disease ex. Not a fun time.
Gotcha, try Cleary's for the leaf spot and use azoxystrobin for your melting out. When the conditions for that fungus are about to arrive, rotate them. If you can, use the liquid azoxystrobin 👍🏾
Great video !! I have tall fescue grass i notice some yellowing in the summer ,just fertilized it on labor day weekend and since its a green lush yard , its that just heat stress or fungus ?
Thank you, Yeremy. It could be either or. It all depends on what the grass blades looked like. Check that video out that I did call, "The difference between HEAT stress and Fungus. That should help you big time 💪🏾
@@PoloFieldsLawnService thanks i just finished watching it lol, i just sharpen my mower blades for the first time, but never did it in the summer maybe thats what my issue might of been , keep up the content you throw out some good shit !!!

@@PoloFieldsLawnService Out of 10 I’d say about a 7. Your Disease X and Bioadvanced really helped that’s what made me subscribe. Most days here are about 85 degrees plus by 9 or 10 AM in the summer months
@@PoloFieldsLawnService Can’t say whether we do or don’t. Can do some research and find out for sure though. I’m a homeowner and there is no HOA but I’m not sure about fertilizer bans. Brother in law does pest control he may know for sure
Thanks, Polo, for the information. I just came inside from spraying sledgehammer on the nut sedge that's in my front lawn. My lawn (front) does not look as bad as number 2 but there are other weeds in the lawn close to the one you pulled up. So, for whatever reason I had my lawn dethatched 2 years ago and it was piles of dead grass taken out. I overseeded with a decent grass seed and watered. I noticed when the temperatures started dropping the Kentucky Blue Grass looked pretty good. I have a mix of tall fescue also. So, can you recommend a product to kill the weeds, please? And I will go back through your videos to look at products that hopefully will take care of the weeds. Next, should I get my lawn guy to dethatch the lawn again in a couple of weeks, throw seed down, and fertilize? All suggestions will greatly be appreciated. I feel as though I've been wasting my money. No, I did not DO GET A soil test which I feel was a big mistake but will get one this spring. I appreciate your kindness!
Hello Yvonne, First, I have a video that talks about summer weeds, and I show you what weed control that you can use (store bought or professional). Check that video out whenever you get a chance. It's called, "How to get rid of Summer Weeds " As far asdethatching, is your lawn thick, and you wanna thin it out? Do you see a lot of dead grass clippings on your soil? I personally wouldn't dethatch it. It would have to be a reason why I'm doing so. Now my lawn was super think, and I dethatched it myself just to thin it out a little bit. But of course, that's what Kentucky Bluegrass does. By the way, Kentucky Bluegrass likes cooler temperatures. Hope this helps 🙏🏾
@yvonnegibson5304 Which is natural being that area close to your soil is moist longer than the tips of your grass, and if you don't have melting out fungus, you might have some older grass that is dying off. Take a blower and blow your lawn to open it up a little so that it can breathe. If you're cutting it high, start bringing your height of cut down a little bit. For example, I NORMALLY will cut my test plot as high as 4.25 inches in the heat of the summer. I've been bringing my height of cut down since we've dropped out of the upper 90'and into the 70s and 80s. I'm now at 3.25 inches. I'll leave it at that height for the fall and winter. The lawn can breathe now
Hey great video and I subscribed. So I'm in the northeast and my lawn is between number one and two. I'm gonna cut lower today and dethatch so that I can overseed this week. My question is normally I would put seed and fertilizer down at the same time, but lately I've seen videos suggesting that I should wait awhile on the fertilizer until the seeds germinate to prevent over growth with the existing grass. What do you suggest? Thanks in advance
Put your seed and fertilizer down at the same time. Also, if you have it, put you down some Propiconizole (1 oz per 1,000 sqft) as well. Not only will it help prevent fungus, but it will slow down the growth of your existing grass a lil bit 👍🏾 I appreciate you for subscribing as well and WELCOME to the Polo Fields Lawn Service Family 💯
Thanks for your reply. I finished my second round of mesotrione on August 31st and my second round of bioadvanced fungicide on September 8th. I dethatched and overseeded and fertilized on the 19th. Now I'm just watering every day, lets see how it comes in the next 20 days. Btw I used Scott's max green fertilizer 27-0-2 & 5% iron
Hello Damion, I haven't used Johnathan Green before. You can always check the trials on those grass cultivars in that bag. I would start there first to see how the seed fairs up against other seeds. Just Google the names of the seed in the bag, and you'll get your information. Also, check to see if it has any weed seeds or crop seeds. If it does, just know that you're gonna have some weed seeds and regular seed in that bag.
