    wow that's you're in Washington state, yes I didn't do a dethach last year when I did my reseeding. This year right down the middle my lawn is dying again. Prepping is very important indeed.

    You done a really great job explaining your process. I have the same battle on the east coast using Fescue seed to repair an old neglected property. One tip I can give you is to wait until the grass stops growing and apply a lawn herbicide to attack the weeds storing energy for winter (its the best time).

    I'm probably thatch, areate, overseed spring 23' - before a forecast of rain. I'm northeastern Carolina and ours start late April, early May. Weather is real funny here.

    Would you be able to just use a metal rake to get rid of the dead stuff instead of getting a thatcher?

    Wow that green grass afterwards looks REALLY NICE. Great job! Is this procedure done for any type of grass or is it specific to the type?

    • @FixThisHouse
      @FixThisHouse  2 роки тому +1

      Thank you brother! I’m sure each type of seed have their own growth rate, watering amounts, environment, fertilizers etc. this is mostly just how to properly prep for overseeding. Stay tuned I’ll make a video talking about different grass seed and type and environmental factors 👍🏽😊

    i am about to thatch my lawn now and over seed due to that fact there is plenty of dead material that you can see,,,,usually i wait til fall but i have a inground sprinkler system that i can set to water twice a day,,so by the time fall gets here it will already be fully established....i wish i owned a core aerator machine since i have compacted soil

    Is it all safe to do when you have dogs at home?

    • @FixThisHouse
      @FixThisHouse  2 роки тому +1

      For the prep it’s ok, but when you start putting down the new seed you will need to avoid stepping on the area where the new seeds are placed. Once the seeds germinate they are very delicate and could die before they mature if they are trampled on. I had areas that deer left their droppings that turn yellow.
