  • It's time for some spring lawn care and I thought I would share a few thoughts on the first things to do in your lawn once the snow goes away. We talk soil temps, pre-emergents, soil testing, and raking to get your lawn ready to go for the season.

      My lawn has a super high water table. Essentially it takes a long time for the yard to dry out and not feel so squishy on your feet. My soil appears to have a lot of clay. Last year i had a fence put up and it took until the 4th of july to drive posts because of how wet it is, i live in northern Michigan my dogs have really tore my yard up since i put in the fence. Do you think it would be best for me to do a lawn renovation in the spring since i could be able to use all that moisture to my advantage? And i was hoping thickening my lawn would help dry it before summer. Any of your input would help thanks.

    Just bought a house from the courts, the yard was really nice 10 years ago. But the last owner did nothing and I had weeds sticking out of 2 feet of snow. The snow is gone but frost is still in the ground, presently I'm raking and removing as dead grass weeds and leaves. I will then round up and redress and then reseed. Would like to reseed by the 2nd week in April as we seem to get a couple of weeds of rain then. Enjoy your channel.

      Ryan Knorr Lawn Care we are personally OK but towns immediately near us are repairing or still under at least a foot of water. My in-laws had cedar tree snap in half and punch holes in the roof and siding but we used some of my arborist bull rope and pulleys to safely lift it off any away from the house without doing anymore damage. Lots of small towns not making news that went under in Nebraska but this state is pulling together and helping one another. Lots of great people coming from all over and helping with rescues along with the National Guard and State Patrol.

Last year, i took out about 20 of those buggers and it was still a stalemate.

    For those that power rake to clear out mess that is in the lawn and open up soil for better water and nutrient intake, how do you time power raking and pre-emergent? Soil temps last 5 days is at 53 degrees but my lawn is not ready for power rake. Many spots are still getting over the winter frost and if I power rake now even at lowest setting, it'll definitely rip grass out. So what do I do? I use a Dimension liquid pre emergent.

    Dude! That sand ain't nothing! 🙄😁🙃 I've got a full inch of sand in places and the plows throw it a good 6-8 feet onto the lawn. I have to do a heavy raking or rent a power broom -- either one is stressful on the lawn. After that I'll water heavily to get out as much as possible.
    Great video, though - just had to bust your chops a little 😁 Keep up the great work, Ryan!

    What a horrible rainy 2018. First time i ever couldnt rake my lawn. My grass easily ripped out the ground. Roots were only an inch long at best in some areas. Some of the grass was above ground from ground freezing and lifting. Very strange and disheartening since I tried my best last year. I dont think the ground ever dried out the entire summer here in Nj

    • @ryanknorrlawncare
      @ryanknorrlawncare  5 років тому +1

      Warm season is a little bit different but in general the temps for applying pre-emergent is the same and most of the other stuff applies. The main difference between cool and warm is that it warm needs the fertilizer in the summer where it's opposite for cool season.

    Hi Ryan, thanks again for all of the time and effort you put into your videos. They’ve really taught me a lot over the past year. This last fall I moved into a new house and did an entire lawn reno planting new seed. It came up well. I live in Delaware and have tall fescue in my lawn. This spring I started the cleanup process by taking and cleaning up debris. I do notice some weeds coming up from the winter. I’d like to spot spray those weeds, and also fertilize early and late sprint. I’d also like to overseed as well but am contemplating that. Do you have a suggested action plan I should use? I mainly want to spot spray those existing weeds, and then fertilize with a preemergent in it. Thanks!

    • @ryanknorrlawncare
      @ryanknorrlawncare  5 років тому

      I would do just as you mentioned. Get down some pre-emergent and fertilizer and then spot spray those weeds once they are actively growing and temps warm a bit. The weed killer is usually a little more effective when temps warm a bit.

    You keep talking about "pre-emergent", but at the same time you say "don't put too much nitrogen". When I look at pre-emergent, they usually have really high nitrogen, something like 30-0-5... Or it's OK before grass "awakened"?

    • @ryanknorrlawncare
      @ryanknorrlawncare  2 роки тому +1

      Pre-emergent can be purchased by itself. That's why those bags with high nitrogen would not be something I would use or recommend. More info here - ua-cam.com/video/KVazsDWS6nQ/v-deo.html

    in New York - i'm wondering when or how soon can I over seed my existing lawn, i might even topcoat the seeds with soil, peat etc, - and if I see now how soon before I can walk on it, mow it, meaning how soon can I begin my lawn maintenance. Dont want to damage new growth. thanks

    • @ryanknorrlawncare
      @ryanknorrlawncare  5 років тому

      You will need to look at your temps and see when the threat of frost or more like temps in the 20s will be gone. You don't want the seed to start coming up and then get a hard freeze. From there it will depend on what seed you use but it will be weeks before you can start regular maintenance.
