Pete you are blessed in many ways. No doubt about it.... but you specifically have a gift of knowledge and a knack of how you share it. I think many would agree that we can listen to you talk about turf (and life) all day long. Thank you.
Boy oh boy, what that test plot has seen in the last 2 years! It awesome to see!
Man Pete was I sad when i saw your Bermuda yard was gone. I rely heavily on the knowledge u share with us, and am so thankful for making lawn care fun for me at 20 years old. So glad to see you get that tif tuff and can’t wait to see how it shines. Might even re-sod some of my Bermuda
Great sodding video! I had an ag teacher that always told his class “it’s soil, dirt is what’s under your fingernails.
Man, Pete, this was enjoyable and fascinating to watch! Great content and video... Liked, Viewed, Shared!
Hats off to your crew. Laying sod ain't no joke and you had a lot to lay. Great work guys!
Appreciate you trying to push the limits and your transparency with the whole Bermuda grass process. Many blessings to you and your family and looking forward to seeing how this all plays out.
This is a fantastic educational video! I would imagine the average person wouldn't know all this. The details are important to be done properly. Thanks so much Pete ❣
Applies slight pressure to roll sod.
*drives 1,000 pound machine over sod* 🤣😝
Lookin good Pete! Can’t wait to see the test plot!
Good idea Pete, it's a awesome way to get it ready for next year.
Oh man!!! This was my first full season with tiff tuff and she's been thinning after all that crazy rain we've had... why is that?
This is going to be another great series to watch such as John Perry's bent Grass putting green.. Thank you Sir!!!
It just doesn't need much water!
Laying sod down in August...man I'm already preparing for my winter pre-emergent.
Just did my back yard in Raleigh with El Toro Zoysia. The first few weeks before we had the daily rain storms was a very busy time with the sprinkler! Great vid
Looks great Pete! 👍🏼
I bought your bermuda seed and im not mad at you. I couldn't get it to do right either. I sodded most of the back yard with Tifgrand as a test for next year. It is hard work getting it to grow from seed. Seeing you struggle lets me know i am OKAY, even professionals mess up from time to time. We are human. Thanks for the video.
Great info and tips for anyone that wants to lay sod!!!
Looking good Pete! Hope the family is doing well. You ever think about doing some creeping bentgrass?
Man I can't imagine what that sod must've cost for such a large area. That said, it saves a lot of time and work seeding and hoping the seeds take root without being washed away or eaten by birds.
Pete - Daniel from Northern VA…I’ve followed the elite lawn care plan the majority of this year and am very happy with the results. With fall coming up in the next month, I want to level the bumps and dips in my yard and wanted to get your suggestions on what product to use (ie topsoil vs sand) with a top dressing at the end as I plan to over-seed with the GCI TTTF. Specific recommendations on what to use and any other tips are greatly appreciated!
Thanks for all the great content you create. I check daily to try and learn something new.
Awesome video Pete
Awesome video! I can watch these videos and also find relaxation watching grass cutting videos too 😂
QUESTION!!!
Pete I’m redoing a small back yard going from your blue grass to tall fescue. Your seed of course. I’ve prepped and waiting to throw seed down once soil temps hit about 70 and after aeration and will throw down your starter fert you recommend to me which I also purchased. Once I get germination is there any benefit to using RGS at that point????????? Thanks 🙏🏻!
God Bless!

We get it in big rolls and use our compact track loader to roll it out. Our sod roller attachment is a simple but handy tool. Ventrac would probably make on for you Pete. Love the video and can't wait to see how quick this grows in. 🇺🇸💪👊
its already growing and getting very thic! this video was filmed last week
@@GCITurf Awesome! Love my Bermuda! That grass couldn't have found a better place to thrive! 👊
Good Evening!
YO!!!
GCI Sod Farm? 😬 hey Pete it’s Steve in Mount Holly have a great day!
I will help sand level next year!!!
I think the common Bermuda will get its revenge.
maybe not...
I got the same problem! Those rain water wash away the tiny seeds of Bermuda.
Cut sod with a recip saw and a dull hacksaw blade. Cuts like butter.
Tiff Tuff Bermuda is also a bit more shade-tolerant than most bermuda stains. It can do well with only 5-6 hours of direct sun as opposed to other stains which need full sun.
Pete you could spray the Bermuda green in the wintertime like golf courses do
Pinch them with the long staples to secure the edge
Can take a weed eater and put a brush blade to cut it out. A lot easier than knife. Looking good
Bermuda brown is the relaxation period. Do not want to mow when it is cold.
Pete, I am getting ready to lay the sod at my new house, and was planning on spraying the Green Pop on the soil first, then laying the sod; followed by RGS afterwards. Would this be okay/less beneficial? Or should I spray it on top of the sod along with the RGS? Thank you sir!
What is the difference between a Bermuda 419 and a Bermuda hybrid?
I’m going to lay TTTF sod next week… can I still over seed it this fall?
What's up Pete!! Spraying my few acres tomorrow with some Triad Select to kill off the unwanted and some Talstar P to knock some of these bugs out and ofcourse a surfactant. Gonna wait 4 weeks then do my September plugging/over seeding. Once seed is down I plan to spray GreenePoP, RGS & Prodiamine all mixed together in my 31 gallon pull behind like I normally do. Does all that sound ok or should I leave prodiamine out and just put that down in early spring before soil temp reaches 55°?
One slab of that is 6 bucks where I live. 3k for 10 pallets.
And mine looks no where near as good as that batch.
I water new sod twice a day for the first 10 day. Then once a day for another week. Then water according to the weather
didn't see flags to mark all of your irrigation sprinklers
Pete I'm getting ready to overseed and will be topdressing with a good compost. I have one of those Landzie compost rollers so it should lay down a pretty light consistent amount of compost. Would you recommend seeding and then putting the compost over the seed or laying the compost down then the seed and sort of rake it in. I've already dethatched and aerated. Love the content!
Either way is fine as long as the seed is around 1/4” deep
@@GCITurf thanks Pete!
Pete, how long will it take to tighten up your mowing height? Will you be able to tighten it up this season or will that need to wait till next year? P.S. I was here for the original planting, quit messing around and put a golf flag in that putting green! Thanks again.
Don’t let it just brown out this fall and winter. Use some turf paint and spray it. That would be a great video for lots of people
Pete,
How often do you water your sod once it is laid? Is it multiple times per day to keep it moist? If so, how long do you water it for each time and how many times per day? Thanks!
"Kneel before Sod!"
bah ha ha ha ha
What will your first cutting heights be when the sod is ready to mow?
how long do you need to wait till you can apply weed killer? I was told you need to wait a year before applying weed killer, but now I'm questioning after you said 6 months till you can apply pre emergent.
You didn't go back and seed the seams?!?! What is this, your first rodeo?? 😉
I think maybe the dormant bermuda might grow on you cause you dont have to do anything with it, less work for you, a period of rest. Or maybe it wont. lol idk
First Aussie 😁
How much top soil should you have over areas that are rocky before you lay the sod? Thanks.
2'" - 4"
@@GCITurf Pete, why not apply your product to the bare ground then lay the turf on top?
@@williamjonson6845 that video is coming how I care for the sod
@@GCITurf like the channel, lots of good information, glad you spend your time putting up the trial and errors
An important tip is to always lay it out with the green side up.
Green side up.
Not as good looking as the spring how it was. Natural seed always over sod. Pete i know u will make it look good, but the spring was just wow.
Follow up videos?
Water my friends. Water your sod/seed.
4th! 🤪
Pete, have you seen John Perry's putting green video? You'll definitely want to watch it if you haven't 😉
2 main rules for laying sod, 1. hire collage girls, 2. green side up!
Moist! 😁
Not to mention the tiff tuff hybrid Bermuda will be much better than seeded cultivars, but i disagree with humic 12 and RGS, that stuff is brown water and is a waste of money. Is literally 98% water
I agree on the sod but I have to say I been using humic almost 15 years and I’m a firm believer in having it in the tool box. It has helped me produce gorgeous lawns for a long time.
Sod is way too much money I always do seed look better than Sod
