Here's one that looks very similar to the one I have. I have not tried it, but same price point and good reviews. Might be worth a shot! amzn.to/4d62Ax8

Thanks so much!🙏

Wow that's a huge compliment thank you, his channel is stellar 🙌

Glad to hear it was helpful, I appreciate the comment!! You got this 🤘

Agree with you... I've used it about three times in my life, and this was one of them. I try to avoid where possible! Thanks

Thank you! 🙌

It's right around 3000 sq feet. I used 5-6 bails of peat moss (3 cubic feet each). Hope that helps!

Thanks for the comment! Yeah that was definitely a lesson learned for me that first time around 👍

@@i_try_diy Lol...ya me to!😉

Thanks for the comment! I only have experience with paint, and my best advice would be to clean it as soon as you possibly can once you finish. The longer it sits and dries, becomes a lot harder to get clean!

I'd wait at least 10 days. I think I waited 2 weeks.

Good luck on your project! Would love to hear how it goes for you

Thanks! I spread two cubic yards of soil, and used about 5 bails of peat moss (3 cubic feet each)

Thanks for the comment! Yes you're 100% right, an inexpensive sprayer is the way to go. I just decided to use what I had lying around, but well worth the $40 investment to save the time and effort. Thanks!

Added thin layer of soil before seeding, and a layer of peat moss after seeding👍

@@i_try_diy okay thanks for responding

@@i_try_diy Do you recommend any specific topsoil or you had some delivered locally.

Pretty much anything will do. If you just get the plain topsoil there's no real nutrients in it, but will still do the job. I ordered some good nutrient rich soil from a local nursery which worked well.

@@i_try_diy Thanks again, wonderful recommendations

This product is designed to be essentially waterproof and repel moisture. Not sure about applying an additional product over the top of it

Thank you! The biggest reasons were that it germinates and establishes quickly, it's more drought-tolerant (I live in a desert), and typically more fungus resistant. I don't need the perfect or premium lawn, just something that's functional and low maintenance!

Thank you so much! 🙏

@@i_try_diy do you have a irrigation system or you hand watering ?

I have an irrigation system, but also hand watered areas that get more sunlight or dry out quicker etc. as needed

@@i_try_diy nice ! I was going to hold off on my backyard renovation until next year but I saw your video and couldn’t help but to get started this fall lol. I order my new seed today . My backyard about 2,500 sq feet. Hopefully I could get some similar results as you and I’ll be very happy lol.

That's awesome good luck! You've got this

Thank you so much! 🙏

Good luck! Not sure where you are but just keep an eye on temps, as long as it's not too scorching hot you should be good to go.

@@i_try_diy I'm in the Virginia area and the temperature is between 90 and 95 and it will start to drop next week starting Thursday. And thank you very much for answering here, you've earned yourself a new subscriber.

I appreciate it! Best of luck to you, you got this!

Thanks for sharing the wisdom!

Thank you! I appreciate the comment 🙏

I just used a regular rake for collecting the dead grass, it was pretty brutal but effective. You could also use a mower with a bag, as long as you don't care about your blade getting dull from all the dirt etc. For the soil, I just picked up a truck load from a local nursery and spread it out with a wheelbarrow and leveling tool. Depending on how much soil you need/want to add, you could just grab bags from the store and use those!

Aerating definitely won't hurt! But scarifying accomplishes much the same thing, so certainly not necessary. Good luck!

thanks much appreciated

Thank you I really appreciate the comment!

Good luck! It's a lot of work but so worth it in my opinion. Take your time and make sure you're diligent about watering!

@@i_try_diy 👍🤞🏼

It was about 12 days. I'd wait at least 8-10 before seeding!

Now's a good time to get started I don't think you're too late based on where you live! But if not there's always next year :)

Thanks for the comment and the feedback, very true that it can differ greatly. I'm here in the Salt Lake City area.👍

I appreciate that! Thanks for watching 👍

For sure, no question it's a lot of work! Worth the payoff though in my opinion, couldn't be happier with our back lawn, and no more battling the old grass. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for the comment! Appreciate the kind words

Thank you for the comment! I did about 8 lb per 1000 and it came in very nice and thick. I seeded early September, so highs around 75-80 and lows around 50-60 probably? That's here in Utah. Where are you located?

That's awesome glad to hear it's working so far! What part of the country are you in?

@@i_try_diy SW MI area soil temps have been between 68-72 and Mother Nature has been generous to me in terms of light rain for the first week.

That's fantastic. Best of luck as you continue the process! Hope all the hard work pays off greatly for you

Thanks so much for the comment!

Bummer! Good news is most of them are really "optional", it might just be more work without them

Glad to hear it!

Appreciate it!

Thanks for the comment! We are loving the tall fescue, perfect for our backyard. And yes you nailed it! Utah mountains

That's interesting. What type of wood is your deck? Is it pressure treated?

Yeah I definitely think two coats is the way to go. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for the comment! Yeah definitely not cheap, but seems you get what you pay for and hoping that continues to be true!

Definitely both. Ready Seal is a stain & sealer, so in addition to looking nice it protects the fence from weathering, rotting, fading, UV rays and more. Without stain, cedar and other woods will look pretty ugly within a couple years

@@i_try_diy Thank you!

Shoot I'm sorry to hear that! I'm no expert, but have you tried adjusting the flow control knob to see if that helps? You may also try thickening up the paint a bit if possible? Best of luck!

that happened to me to my second use. cleaned it throughly four times. sprayed it even w soap and water worked fine. used it another day wasn’t spraying at all. found his video and god bless !!!!!! my issue was the pressure/ flow knob on the handle ! works like it did my first time ! make sure you clean it very good too try twisting the black knob piece where the spring is out a little bit more. it loosens it. hope that helps you like it did me !!!

Thanks for the comment! Glad to hear that did the trick for you!

Thanks for the comment! I just "cleaned" it out with water, and ran a bunch of water through it. It is now my dedicated stain sprayer because it's definitely not all the way clean! You could probably get it pretty clean using paint thinner or mineral spirits

Yeah it's a difficult conundrum! When it's that uneven it's hard to just top dress and level without starting completely over

Thanks for watching!

I seeded about 12 days after the second round of herbicide. Anything after about 10 days you should be good to go

Thanks for the comment! So glad you found the videos helpful. A pump sprayer with a good nozzle or a roller are both a great easy option for applying. Good luck with the project sounds awesome!
