I would just like to say thank you for the content you put out. I just started following you I wish I'd done it sooner I do have a question if you have a moment I have a Toro walk behind mower everybody says cut at a time setting but when I do the grass flops over and it looks messy any suggestions on height and how to manage would be great appreciate any help you can give
“It’s getting close to lawn renovation season”……. My wife almost fell off the couch when she heard that. Lol !!!
Maybe they'd rather worry about more important things
I’m really loving and appreciating your recent tip videos that you’re putting out! They’re concise and super helpful. I often search through all your videos to piece together all the info I’m looking for. Thanks Ryan!
Look at you flexing against your neighbors! Looking good and great tips bro.
That thumbnail is crazy. I’m surprised your neighbors don’t ask you for help. That level of dominance calls for action on their side.
Thanks for all the tips. I've probably watched 99% of your videos since winter and started my program following 85% of your steps early spring to start a new lawn. I'm starting to get some great results. Just a few things to spot treat from having to do a reseed in the spring like clover, and hitting areas a little too hard with fertilizer here and there. But my neighbors and family have been amazed by the transformation. These tips are what I'm implementing over the summer to keep it alive and well so I can do another good reseed in the fall. Thanks for sharing your passion with us for the ultimate goal of improvement and peace of mind!
Soil quality and depth are also big factors. I have some dormant areas and the thing they all have in common is shallow topsoil with compaction or even gravel/soil mix just underneath. I think I’ll do some deep aeration this fall.
Great video Ryan! My lawn is showing signs of heat stress already….I use some of the same strategies you mentioned…I might try a couple of the tips you mentioned also.
Been throwing down the lawn booster and root hume for the last month. I really do prefer the liquid stuff over granular; I just enjoy putting it down more. I'll be putting down some chelated iron for the first time next week. I'm looking forward to seeing how the yard looks after. Thank you for the helpful videos!
GREAT INFO RYAN. Thanks for sharing.
Simple and to the point. Thanks Ryan!
Hi Ryan> This really helped!! We live in Northern Idaho. Our grass took a heat in the three digit degrees. Now we are in the early 90's.
I've worked on my lawn more after retirement and I have a healthier lawn without needing a lot of water. I don't have to rebuild it in the fall or spring now too. I little extra work at the beginning helps to save time and money in the end.
Great tips Ryan! Lawn looks great
Excellent breakdown Ryan - really simple
I liked the tip of target watering trouble spots. Good one👍
Another great video. Thank you for the tips. Looking forward to more garden and new property updates.
I'll be posting more here as well ua-cam.com/users/ryanknorr
very helpful tips! Your lawn looks awesome!
Thank you so much. In my late 30s former musician too. I've begun my new obsession. Just bought SS1002 Fescue for the fall and very excited to use it. Your production is fantastic!
Awesome tips and advice as always Ryan!
Watching your video made my lawn looking the best in my neighborhood,,good info brother keep it coming
Thank you Ryan!!!!!!
Hi Ryan great 👍 video like 👍 to keep my lawn 3 ins high about right for my lawn love the way you do your lawn or yard as you guys call it and yes 👍 i will watch some of the football tomorrow night 👋🇬🇧❤️👍David
Using hose-spraying treatment methods has saved me more time than I could have ever imagined lol… This ESPECIALLY goes more for weeds.
Thanks for this video.
I followed your videos to help keeping my lawn as a new homeowner 3 years ago.
I kept the water going, and i did the mowing steps too.
On top of that, i added a liquid fertilizer as well.
But somehow, some spots continue to turn brown and i don't know why.
Could be our ugly enemy fungus
Great video Ryan!👏
Man this summer in Arizona has been BRUTAL for me. 20 years doing my grass out here and never have had such bad issues. It hurts so bad to come home to ugly ass grass. My Bermuda failed twice as well. Really excited for October for my perennial.
Thx, Ryan - love your videos. I just sowed new lawn seed a couple of weeks back and have pretty good growth coming through. I covered the seed with straw to retain moisture and was wondering when would be a good time to remove the straw? Or should I just leave it to decompose?
Take this as a compliment! But I would hate to be your neighbor! That lawn looks too good!
Can’t wait to see your renovation at the new property.
Love your content! Have been watching maybe a month or two, first time commenting. You always inspire me to make my yard look better, but I am always very overwhelmed by your knowledge and expertise. Do you have a Playlist or somewhere you'd recommend a beginner to start watching your content? I'm a motivated person to get my yard whipped into shape and live in a similar environment as you. Keep up the great work! Also, fellow UA-camr here, so 🤜💥🤛
This was a project lawn I started from scratch and showed the process in one season. ua-cam.com/play/PLzripA58GQvHTjrRQWuDtEc2Vqqo30jnF.html
Also I have a full season guide that I wrote for beginners that has all of my recommendations if you're interested in that. www.ryanknorrlawncare.com/store/ and you'll see the cool season guide there
@@ryanknorrlawncare thank you for the response! I look forward to viewing the information you sent. I hope you learn a lot along the way and do you have product sales and where can a look into those as needed? I really need to find a program to achieve at least half of what you have accomplished. Love the videos.
@@ryanknorrlawncare just saw the second link you sent included a link to your store. Thanks again man your an inspiration to a perfect yard!!
We need a collaboration here! The RC Saylors Flying a new airplane on Ryan's new place ;) and Ryan on how to prepare the lawn to take off the airplane from it :) 😀✌
Thanks Ryan. Good info...
Good info as always!
Keep killing it Ryan!!! Big Fan… I even got some rubber boots 💪🏽
Nice, just gave the new sod it’s first cut after a month, cut at 4inches and it is thick. Hope all this Elsa rain (3 inches expected!) does more good then harm…
Great video !
Just watched this one again today as our 2023 Chicago summer is super dry. I plan to apply a spoon fed dose of fertilizer to see how this responds. Hoping to be able to water my larger yard though. Some area are tough to reach w hoses. Happy June drought
What do you use for micronutrients for your grass? I'm in Canada and I want to start adding in a bit of extra, on top of iron, fertilizer and using my irrigation system. Thanks! Love your videos and my grass is the best it's ever been, this year. I still have some improvements to be made but so far I am happy with how it has turned out for the few extra efforts I am doing. I've even had some compliments from friends saying " wow, my lawn doesn't look like that! " Lol
Great video.
Every time you do an aerial photo I see just how bad your neighbors yards are and it shows how hard you work to keep it up
Great tips
I wish I had an irrigation system. Your yard is looking great man. 👍 great job
Build your own on a budget. I bought a wifi enabled water spout and have my sprinkler head in a spot where it'll water everything within 25 ft on a schedule I set. It will skip the schedule if it sees that it will rain. Saves me time.
Buy a sprinkler and a hose. It really doesn't have to be any more complex than that. The more money you spend, the less work you have to do, i.e. set it and forget it. Conversely, the less money you spend, the more work you have to do. A great lawn is possible either way.
You rock dude!
Great tips!! You changed the intro song and it definitely threw me off lol 😂 but I’m a fan of the new one also
Thanks
Any suggestions for KBG lawn that seems to stress when walked and played on? I cut around 3-1/2” or so. Otherwise, this year the lawn managed well throughout our drought in northern Indiana.
Probably just the nature of the beast. Summer with kbg is not always the most fun
Hey Ryan, nice and quick Video 👍 How often do you water per week? Every day? Greetings from northern Germany, Daniel
Impressive green lawn,very clean and flourish.Thanks for your ideas,people will have a beautiful lawn full of green accordingly, I like you video.
Just for who need SEBOSS hardware cloth,1/2,1/4 opening ,19 GA, Hot dip galvanized after welding, double galvanized, strong and sturdy, delicate and beautiful, suitable as gopher wire, protect lawn/garden from all kinds of gophers.
What fertilizer do you use as your last application of the year and which one is your first coming out of winter? Thanks
Ryan, I’ve learned a lot from your videos. Thank you. One thing I’m surprised you didn’t mention was soil pH. Should this be the first thing you look at before you start any lawn program? I’ve read that if the pH isn’t where it needs to be that you’re just throwing money away on product. Thankfully my lawn is looking good so I hope the pH is in range but I’m still going to test to see. Thanks again!
Ryan, would you recommend doing a renovation with pure KBG or a blend of KBG and Rye and why? Which would look better?
Hey Ryan! Can you give us advice on east coast where we have gotten over 6 inches of rain in 2 weeks time. Elsa dumped about 4 inches and we had 2 storms after that dumped an inch. To much water! I had to drain pool from overflowing twice already! Any advice on what to do to protect roots from lack of oxygen and should we consider disease control for fungus? How about adding iron or other nutrients? Your advice would be greatly received up here in New England!
How to have a great lawn. Not have a job that you leave at 4am and get home at 7-8. Lol...... Great lawn. Love all your videos.
Hey Ryan, thanks for all of the great content! I took over an awful yard last fall and have been working hard to get it in order. I have a question tho that I don’t believe has been addressed in your videos or your lawn guide. If I want elite grasses in my yard if I oversees long enough will the new grass overrun the old? Ive only been over seeding so far and it’s definitely looking better but what was thrown down I imagine was a construction grade seed and i really want rye there. Again, thanks for everyrhing
I think I mentioned this is a video with my neighbors project lawn but either way, full renovation is always going to get you there quicker and some grasses will just never match up with overseeding alone.
Ayy. Middle of Iowa as well. Guess I’ll follow your instructions even closer.
Couldn’t stop staring at the chocolate on his lip lol 😂 I love the vids I am wondering how do you keep the fungus down I have had some mushroom growth in my lawn and I rarely water if I do water it’s in the morning
Hey Ryan, just bought a house a month ago. The house I got has been left along Sense November of 2020 and the yard is toast. Weeds, Hay, Straw, random tree sprouts you name it I think I have it. All but Grass. How would be the best way to attack this as a 1000% complete renovation on the entire yard. All the way to redoing the sprinkler system. Thinking of going Sod back yard and growing from scratch front yard. But step 1. How to get rid of all the problems. I'm in NorthEast Colorado. Looking to make all this happen by Mid September. Hopefully it's a lot of work. Any good suggestions?
Good afternoon RK!
George, good Thursday evening to you. 😎
If I could be anything in the world, I would choose to be Ryan Knorr's grass. Damn, does he treat it good.
@Ryan: Thanks so much for your help, motivation and guidance. You’ve helped me transform the 15-year dormant lawn at my new house to one of the best in the neighborhood. I’ve seen an issue the last 2-3 weeks with all the product I’ve put down: looks like I have some Japanese Stiltgrass popping up and spreading. I’ve done some research and wanted to get your thoughts on control. Some say just weed, Acclaim Extra has been recommended. But also wanted to get your thoughts. Thank you sir and keep up the great work and content!!! 🙏
I honestly don't think I know if I've ever run into that one. If you have a good resource I would try out that recommendation
@@ryanknorrlawncare thanks for the reply! I’m going to weed the small patches but will also grab some Acclaim Extra and spray the 2 larger patches I have. I’m thinking I spray to kill it off by end summer before I aerate and overseed again in the hopes I can starve it out for next season. Fingers crossed! Thanks again!!!
it actually helps that your neighbors lawns are so terrible it makes yours look that much better! Domination is real!
How often are you watering the lawn I just can’t get it dark green like you do and yes I use iron and I mow every 3days at 2.5” and I do have underground sprinkler live in Michigan and fertilizer every 45 days
One product I have had applied the past two seasons is Moisture Manager from Lesco. The amount of watering during the peak summer months is drastically reduced.
My backyard gets a ton of sunlight during that day almost 8+hours with no shade. I’m debating to go with either Kentucky bluegrass or tall fescue. What do you recommend for that scenario? Located in Iowa.
GreenOrr 😜👍 good stuff
So if my front lawn that I seeded in the fall died (south Jersey) when can I reseed? I started early September last year and I feel I waited too long
Cultivar is an underrated strong factor if all the conditions are right.
Hi Ryan...I was looking for the name of the liquid products to green up the lawn through the summer...I don't see it listed as you mentioned! Thanks
What fertilizer can I use in early June in California? Our temps are around 80-85 already. Thank you!
Yes 👍.. Great video..
You explained exactly what,why,
And how.. call me crazy 😝
But I spread granular Lyme , disease-ex , triasicide , slurry (mix).. 1/2 recommend on bag for lyme
At the end of June, first week of July..👀 looks good 😊
Out on LongIsland ..anyway
Cultivars do make a big difference. I know another UA-camr who talks about keeping that “old school lawn” with grass that has made it in your yard for many years. I would put a lawn that renovated with newer cultivars up against that any day.
I have an area that completely dug up and turned over 6’ down and then left with nothing growing on for a year. The soil is crap. I planted elite varieties on it and it stays dark green without adding iron, almost no seed heads, stays almost completely weed free, doesn’t get disease, and doesn’t grow as fast as the rest of the “old school lawn” with way better soil I have.
Only issue I have had with newer elite varieties is they don’t come up from seed very well.
There is no way my lawn would look the way it does without the grass seed that I planted in renovations.
Good clip. 👍🏼
Is SoakOrr like Hydretain?
whoa.... hahaha I'm 2 years late to this vid, love the vid. But my mind was blown by the ferrari reference when it comes to grass. I know it's a joke, but it was funny on multiple levels.
I’ve been following your channel for a while and I tried almost all of your tutorials and I just can’t get my lawn green. At what point do I give up and start over? I’d really appreciate your advice man!
Last part of the video I talk about cultivars. You may need to renovate to get a similar look
nice!!!!!
How facing East helps Im sure !
When is it too early to apply iron? I’m trying to go organic, and liquid base. With only two synthetic applications!
Our lawn is like 100% sand/silt. With lots of moisture, it’s a nice green. How can I improve the ground composition over time so it has more ability to retain moisture? (I’m thinking of adding compost/manure this fall) Thoughts?
Honestly i wouldn't add anything to it but continue to grow healthy and dense turf and that will start to aid in organic matter development on its own.
Thanks Ryan! I live in Alberta (Canada), any tips for very cool season grasses?
Same type of things I deal with so you can follow a similar program.
Hey Ryan would rye grass work in Kentucky?
I was watching another UA-cam Lawn video (another "lawn expert") and he stated not to use Fertilizers during summer months in Midwest. Not sure I agree
I have always used small doses along with morning watering during dryer weeks. Thoughts?
P.S. I have learned so much about lawn care from you. THANK YOU!
I use liquid fertilizer every 2 weeks on my yard. It is absolutely a game changer to keep that up during the summer
Dumb question - What do you recommend wearing when doing this lawn care? I don't mind using a sprayer (learning how to use one properly), but when using tenacity for example and a dye, I wanna know what I should wear to protect myself from any chemicals/dye? Just old jeans and a pair of work boots? Rain boots?
Rubber boots is what I use
How about a video on sharpening blades?
Can I apply SLS 16-4-8 in August summer. I'm in Massachusetts.
Ryan, is it recommended to have a separate water/irigation Meter installed by your city or county for specifically an underground sprinkler system?
If so, why?
I found out it would cost $5000
To have one put in on my yard!!!!
OMG!!!!
nothing beats a good coat of green lawn paint....
I have 30,000 sq feet of summer fertilizer. In order to put down a low amount should I apply half at a time over two applications 3-4 weeks apart?
That would work
If I move to a cool season grass state, I’m doing this.
What do you suggest for an area of the yard that doesn't really get any sun? It's between the house and a pretty tall, thick tree, that shades it very well, and probably doesn't allow much rain through either. It's really hard to grow grass in this strip of the lawn.
You'll probably always have a tough time there. Fine fescues are best in shade or landscape it with shade plants
@@ryanknorrlawncare Ok...I'm not sure what type of grass we have actually...are there certain kinds that do better with a certain amount of sun?
What about an annual summer season fertilizer?
I've been watching your videos a lot this year, and I have noticed an improvement in my lawn. But I'm having issues, maybe you can help me. Maybe not.
I live in Central WI, and where I am the soil is mostly heavily compacted clay. I believe that poor soil is what gives me lawn issues. I struggle to get anything to grow, in regards to like trees and plants. Grass is okay. I do get some spots in my lawn, I've tried seeds and several commercial patch deals, but haven't had any luck so far. I again believe it's the soil issue. I aerated this past spring. I believe I should do it again. I cut to 3 inches, but thats down from 5 inches. I kid you not, I grew my grass to 5 inches long and when we had a bad draught, I only had to water once. Now that it's cooler but raining regularly, I went down to 3 inches.
How can I get my lawn similar to yours, without a reel mower? Should I call it quits on my lawn, dump soil over the top, and start over next year? Should I aerate much more often? Help!
Just keep core aerating (twice a year for sure) and you could consider a topdressing of compost or something with some organic matter in it to begin to change things for you in the right direction. It will definitely take some time.
This spring I rented a plug aerator and did my entire yard. I dont have the budget or storage space to buy my own aerator, and have done a bunch of research on tow behind aerators. Do you think they work, or will work for what I need to do?
Never go out and look at your lawn right after viewing a Ryan Knorr video. Just wait a couple of hours.
Is to late to add Scott’s summer Guard in SoCal??? July 9,21
Hiii bro
My lawn grass has become full yellow colur grass what should I do
Please tell simple method to make grass green
Will this work in the south? Like Atlanta
Its prolly easier to maintain smaller quarter acre lots...and prolly fun doing it too. I have an acre yard and its friggin hard to get it even start to green with this years June drought. Not to mention the weeds too. How can I get my lawn to green up?
Fall haha
16!
Great video, what would you recommend for a good fungicide, I live in Wisconsin. I seam to have some fungus in my yard.
You will need to figure out what type of fungus is happening in order to pick the right product
Looks like rust or brown patch
I just bought a house in w PA, the lawn is horrible! Weeds, crab grass etc..How should I go about treating it this late in season
I have a ryegrass kbg mixed lawn and been cutting at 4 in. How can I start cutting it lower without it looking like it's scalped?
There really isn't an easy way other than very gradual step down over time. Or all in at the beginning, thin it out so it cuts clean, and let it recover but I would not do the second option until fall
