No its not necessary to use a surfactant when overseeding. You can use a dye if you want just to see where you sprayed if you want but its also not necessary. Thank you for watching
Thank you Darrel, Darell, Darrell or Darryl for a great and informative video. FYI: I want to get your sprayer, as I love adjustable nozzles. However, you got a fantastic sprayer deal, as that sprayer now sells for $14.97 at Walmart. I did order the Mark-It Blue 8oz for $13.49 at Walmart also. I already have my Tenacity and I’ll be all set after I finish watching your great video and ready to spray as-soon-as I receive my order. 😊
Another great video. This is what I’m looking for. I just over-seeded my tall fescue 12 days ago, but I didn’t put down a pre-emergent and I’m seeing a lot of grassy weeds. So I’m just making sure I understood you correctly. If I use tenacity as a pre-emergent…I just water it in about a quarter inch after I spray it? And it won’t hurt the new seeds germinating? Any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated. I’m brand new at this..I just started working on my lawn last fall.
Yes you can use tenacity as a pre emergent when you plant your grass seeds it helps fight off weeds while letting the grass seeds germinate. But once the seeds germinate and start to sprout you can't use tenacity anymore because it'll be harsh on the new seedlings. I hope this help thank for your support and good luck 👍🏾
@@LawnAmateur Hi sir. I was wondering if I could ask one more question about the tenacity? If I use it as a post-emergent, does that mean that I use it kinda like a spot treatment as opposed to spraying the whole yard? And spray it where there is no new germination around?
It is pricey but it just works. I can’t emphasize enough that you have to shake that bottle up good before pulling out the dose with the syringe. I didn’t on my first app this year and it didn’t do the job. My fault totally. Ditto on the surfactant recommendations too. Great video Darryl!
Hi, Darryl. Your video just pop up and it is very i formative. I like it very much. I live in South Texas bought a house two years ago and agent does not know what type grass i have . How do i know it correctly it is Bermuda or St.augustine grass? Do you have any idea? Thanks
Hi Dawn you would have to look down into the grass roots. Bermuda grass has like a vine growing pattern. Along with narrower grass blades and grow short. While St. Augustine grow taller and has a thicker grass blade and is a little more coarser than Bermuda grass, Bermuda tends to be softer feeling. I hope this helps thank you for watching
Thank you very much, Sir. I guess it has vine and short. Do you mean the blade is narrow and looks like pointed. If so, i guess it is bermuda. One more question please? Do you think it is ok to mix with bermuda and St augustine since my yard very patchy. My local store only has St.Augustine plugs on sale and i am thinking to plug it. Does it looks very noticeable?
Im pumped up for my very first full reno (nuking grass). i was also dealing with Poa Annua and Poa Trivialis invasion. downfall of full lawn reno is poa and other weeds tend to invade the lawn again. when i did a mini reno in fall, I ended up getting more Poa trivialis and quack grass in next Spring :/ I had to dig out and lay sod :( more work ugh. Tenacity is great with weeds.. although, for Poa Triv, im not sure how to fight it off after a reno. it's a tough one to manage.
Great question, I normally use a surfactant when I'm using it to just spray weeds so it can stick onto the weed plant alot better but this day I was using this spray as a pre and post emergent and when you're using it a pre emergent its better to not use a surfactant because you're coating the soil to create a barrier layer of protection. But when using as a post emergent only its best to use a surfactant for a more effective weed killer. Thank you for asking and supporting the channel its much appreciated
Hey man, I am doing a lawn rehab in a few weeks and I am not sure if I should be applying Tenacity as a pre emergent or post emergent. My lawn is awful and filled with weeds, but technically spraying this stuff in spring is a pre emergent scenario, right? The only reason I ask is because I am not sure if I should use surfactant or not.
Most definitely use a surfactant if you're trying to kill the weeds. If I was you I would spray the weeds right now to get them to start dying out and then when you do the rehab in a few weeks spray everything again including the soil using it as a pre emergent. This would give you the best results. PS this stuff will turn the tips of the grass and weeds white or pinkish don't be scared this happens it'll recover. This happens to show that the weeds are dying. Hope this helps
Hello. I’m new to lawn care and I’ve been learning a lot recently by watching your channel. Unfortunately I’m a little in the season I think to lay down a pre emergent. I believe my grass type is Tall Fescue. I’m already noticing some weeds germinating with the warmer weather. Should I spray an application of Tenacity over the entire lawn or spot treat? Is it still possible to put down weed and feed as well or would that be a waste of money? Also, I’m in a new development so the sod was put down in Oct or Nov of 2019. I haven’t done anything to it other than a milorganite app about 3 weeks ago. Thanks a lot for the content.
No, its definitely ok to blanket spray with tenacity if you have some if you do make sure you use a surfactant with the tenacity. You can also use a weed and feed if you don't have tenacity. A great weed killer is by spectracide either granular or the liquid concentrate formula cheap and effective. Hope this helps
First timer. I have 3 neighbors allowing me to practice on their lawns. Lots of weeds. Similar situation. A fee weeks ago I put Pennington weed n feed, sprayed the lawn with water. Seeing lots of weeds still, I want to get faster results. Its now almost end of May. Since I already put down the weed n feed can I now try tenacity? What else can I do to push healthy growth and eliminate weeds. From Virginia. Thanks D
@@arleneherrera9193 sorry for late response 😅 youtube doesn't always notify me but tenacity is probably the best way to go, its a little pricey but that bottle go along way because you don't need much and the tenacity will allow you to grow grass seed while killing weeds at the same time.
Yea I use one only when using it as a post emergent. I didn't use one here because I wanted to also use it as a pre emergent so I sacrificed the use of a surfactant for that reason alone. But if you're using tenacity strictly as a post emergent most definitely use a surfactant.
Nice video D appreciate it, keep grinding out there. When the weeds die out what’s next do they just disappear or you have to pull them out pick them Up or do you mow the grass and eventually that area is cute? Appreciate you
@@LawnAmateur I’m in mass with cool season grass what months do you recommend using tenaciTy as a pre emergent? Right before weeds start really creeping into spring ?
In the spring time some time mid March get your tenacity or pre emergent down. Right before ground temperature becomes 50 degrees Fahrenheit consistently.
Lawn Amateur good stuff man! Also you should get yourself some surfactant. Tenacity needs if you use it as a post-emergent. That way it doesent run off the weed.
how old was this grass when you applied tenacity because its been 34 days since i seeded but im not sure if i should wait longer before applying. Also i have not mowed the lawn since i seeded lawn is about 6 inches tall.
The lawn was about 6 months old at this time I did the renovation that past fall so it was established already. But you should go ahead and mow the lawn now. Don't take more than 1/3 off. By the 3rd mow grass should be mature enough to handle tenacity or weed killers then you could go ahead and apply tenacity.
If you're using it as a pre emergent then yea you need to water it in. If using it as a post emergent then you wanna let it sit and soak in on the grass/weeds
Yes just make sure your grass type can take tenacity. And make sure not to apply it in the peak of the day try applying early morning or evening when sun start to go down hope this helped 👍👍
About time Darrell I am Joel... Did you figure my name out for $2.00😆 Glad to see you again have not watched you since last season brother🙏 Finally got me a bottle of Tenacity last week speaking of the liquid devil! I remember last year they were all sold out because you bought the last one💪
Lol you finally got yourself a bottle of tenacity. I remember you said I ordered the last bottle last season 🤣🤣. Great stuff makes everything easier. Glad to hear from you again. Be safe bro
Lawn Amateur You stay safe as well. Prayers 🙏 out to you your way. I guess no Summer visit for our family to Connecticut this year! Chicagoland is getting some rough waves, just staying at home and ordering yard this and that. Thank goodness for internet. I was able to order 12 bags of Milorganite from Home Depot for $9.99 a bag shipping was $35.00. The Home Depot is about 20 minutes away so it saved me a drive plus I am disabled (back surgery twice/ leg brace) from the military. For me it is a win during this time. Last year that was a product I could not get unless we went to Wisconsin from Chicago. Overall we keep it on lockdown and. I am surprised the Boriqua 🇵🇷family next door did not eat the rooster😆... It is hard to get food these days! My mother-in-law had one in her yard one Summer back and my son liked it, one day we had some rice and chicken (arroz con pollo)... My son went to go see the rooster after dinner and we told him it flew away😆😆😆
Whats up bro, most definitely you can use this at any time during the season. I sort of did used this at a post emergent in this video. But what I didn't do was add a surfactant to it. If you're gonna use it as a pre emergent make sure you use a surfactant to make the herbicide stick and break down the plants protective barrier.
If you are referring to Scotts Halts Crabgrass Preventer...you can’t plant seed after using Scotts Halts Crabgrass Prevent like you can with Tenacity. Scott Halts doesn’t allow grass to grow. It definitely helps with preventing crabgrass.
I purchased Tenacity with a Surfactant, did 2 applications 1 1/2 months apart and NOTHING HAPPENED! I mixed it properly and no weeds were effected. I have Creeping Charley everywhere and it didn't touch it. It was a hot sunny day both applications.
Thats weird I use tenacity every year and get great results. Did you let the tenacity dry on the weeds for atleast 6 hours without any rain or watering?
@@LawnAmateur Yes. It was dry for several days. I just did another application this 4th of July weekend. I will see if that did anything over the next few weeks.
@@LawnAmateur I did a 3rd application 2 weeks ago and AGAIN, NO EFFECT! It didn't do ANYTHING to any of the weeds! I would love to have a weed expert come and see. Tenacity is completely worthless! What else is there that is guaranteed to kill creeping Charlie, Clover and ALL the other weeds? Same conditions, dry for several days and in the upper 80s.
Hi Darryl!! I still may call you lawn amateur though lol. That was definitely $2 from That 1 drop that little thing must be VERY potent. That name is classic by the way great vid as usual #tunedin
Hey bro, I planted new Bermuda grass seed 2 weeks ago and my new grass is coming up. I didn’t do any weed treatment. I was planning on spraying some weed killer today, but I’m afraid it’s gonna kill my new grass. What should I do at this point?
You can use tenacity if you can get your hands on some because it won't harm the germinating grass or you can go to home depot, lowes and get scotts starter fertilizer with weed control. Its a light blue bag. It has the same ingredient as tenacity. And the last option is to wait until the grass fully germinate and you mowed the lawn about 3x then start to fight off weeds.
Hey Fernando you may want to check into Tenacity on Bermuda grass. I believe it's one of the few types of grass that can be damaged by it. Lawn Amateur great videos! Thank you
I am finding that because it takes about 3 weeks for the weeds to die off, that the weeds start spreading. I did one use then 3 weeks later I did another one. Now I have clover coming up all over the place along with some other weird ass weeds. My lawn has never looked so bad.
I was using it as more of a pre emergent and when doing that you don't need a surfactant. Surfactant is more for post emergent coverage. I did spray a few weeds in the process. But I wanted more pre emergent coverage overall. Thanks for your support
No Zoysia is not on the tenacity label so Tenacity could possibly harm Zoysia lawns. I wouldn't try but if you do decide to try it make sure you try it on a small part of lawn off to the side. Hope this helped 👍
How are you using the tenacity pre emergent or post emergent? As a post emergent Tenacity takes about a week to actually start seeing results you may see results in 72 hours on lesser weeds but crabgrass, nutsedge it'll take a week. Tenacity is systemic so it soaks into the plant and kills from the inside out down to the roots. Did you use a surfactant with tenacity?
I normally use surfactant but I wanted pre and post emergent coverage and you're not supposed to use surfactant when using it as a pre emergent. So I sacrificed the use of a surfactant this time around for that purpose.
@@LawnAmateur love the content 👌 i did my first aplicación of tenacity 1 of May and much good news its killing all of the weeds should I wait 2 more weeks for my second application? I feel like I'm going to have to reseed again 😕 any thoughts?
Bought my tenacity and loop hoed my yard this past weekend to get it ready… I just want a beautiful lawn like yours
You'll get there just stay consistent Mow it, feed it, weed it, water it 🌱
Thank you for this video. My question is if i am overseeding and using tenacity do i still use a surfactant and or dye with it also?
No its not necessary to use a surfactant when overseeding. You can use a dye if you want just to see where you sprayed if you want but its also not necessary. Thank you for watching
I love how Tenacity lights up the weeds. I also applied Tenacity this spring and then followed up with 24d application a few weeks later.
It sure does lol

Hey sir, I'm a lawn amateur myself but I think you forgot to add a surfactant to your mix. This will help Tenacity stick to the weeds when spraying.
Yea adding a surfactant does help. But the way I was using the tenacity was as a pre emergent also so a surfactant wasn't needed this time around
Thanks for the post, good to know I'm on the right track!
It helps to use surfactant to stick weeds and poa annua. For preemergent, no surfactant

can I use food coloring instead of dye because I don’t have any dye
The food color may work if you use enough of it so that it show up.
A surfactant next time helps to stick product to weeds.

Can you recommend a similar product that would be safe for zoysia lawns?
What gloves are you wearing?
They're from Walmart hyper tough
The yard is looking good
are you doing any overseeding
I will definitely be fixing those bare spots
Ha, that was about $2 worth in that one drop... LOL
I sprayed and nothing happened, its been a day only. No rain yet.
How are you using the tenacity pre emergent or post emergent?
As a post emergent Tenacity takes about a week to actually start seeing results you may see results in 72 hours on lesser weeds but crabgrass, nutsedge it'll take a week. Tenacity is systemic so it soaks into the plant and kills from the inside out down to the roots.
Did you use a surfactant with tenacity?
Meant to say Scotts Halts will not allow seed to germinate like Tenacity does.
You're definitely correct about the scotts halts product
You forgot the Surfactant...🤘
I normally use surfactant but I wanted pre and post emergent coverage and you're not supposed to use surfactant when using it as a pre emergent. So I sacrificed the use of a surfactant this time around for that purpose.
