After 3 years of JUNE/JULY yellow/ heat spots on my zoysia (I have a morning direct sun light reflecting from a neighbor's window reflecting on to my lawn- like a magnifying glass heat. But yesterday I found (while using a long screwdriver) to feel if the clay soil (Greenville SC) was too hard in certain areas, well I felt/heard a few 'clicks' in the yard as I pushed the screwdriver in... I discovered there are small patches of rocks/gravel 2" below the soil line. How do i safely remove the gravel (6ft x 6ft area) without destroying my grass? Thanks
A video idea: this is the time of year for BBQs, graduation parties, birthday parties outdoors, etc. A video of how to help your lawn recover from high traffic, a bounce house ( or inflatable pool) on it for a few days, or any other increased pressure stressors to the lawn. In the mean time, any tips following 4 days of five year old birthday parties with a bounce house on the lawn?
I think this comment is underrated.
Great video idea, we played corn hole one night and trampled the heck out of the grass. I hope for a video too. But until the I’m gonna stay off the spot and hope it recovers. Worse case top dress that area
This
It’s called “time”
Always start the night off right with some good 4 play 😉 Best combo for Summatime Protec-tion!!!! Thanks for the video uncle Al!!! 😊🤙🏾

easy fix,stop peeing in your yard at night when your drunk.umm duh
Who. Here hate moths
I remember your video "investigation" into particular problem areas where summer heat just baked the grass and you mention that again here, rocks/gravel under the sod. I was very specific at my parents new house they built, they're just preparing for sod to be installed that Dad pays attention to their grading etc etc. He's already done work himself to remove possible problem areas even pre grading. Fantastic information as always !!
You always make the right videos at the right time!
Thanks to a previous similar LCN video, I started poking into parts of my lawn that experienced dry spots frequently and discovered that those areas were basically full of rocks. I had a very thin layer of dirt sitting on top of foundation of rocks. Spent many days digging up those rocks and smoothing over the lawn afterwards, followed by overseeding (cool season lawn, WA). For those experiencing dry spots, there's a high chance that you have rocks under dirt, so grab a long screw driver and poke into those parts to test.
There was an unexpected side effect after I removed a lot of rocks though, apparently those rocks were making that part of the lawn unattractive to moles and immediately after removing the rocks, a mole came in and destroyed my lawn leveling and overseeding effort. I trapped and murdered that little sucker but the damage was done.
On the topic of non-ionic surfactant, can you get those relatively cheaply from farm and feed supply places such as Tractor Supply, who was their own store brand FarmWorks 80/20 Surfactant. I use it in my herbicide sprays and also as a wetting agent during summer for more effective spot watering on trouble spots.
I like that you used murder as your verb for that mole. Die mole!
How long ago? Have any moles returned since?
I used your idea of digging down to see whats going on. I built my house 2 yrs ago, I found piles of concrete & tile morter. Way ti much for me to dig out. I was so disappointed cuz I have spots all over. Would have to dig up half my yard. Words to all new home builders- have a big conversation with people laying your sod to ge sure your lot is scrapped and clean.
I’ve been adding a little Air 8 to my dry spot concoction as well as your home method. This year I went with Four Play just to see if I notice a difference. Well done
I live on a limestone hill. Heck yes there are rocks under mine.
I’m getting old I guess cause I love strapping on a backpack sprayer and spraying with rubber boots in while the neighbors stare. On dark blue green lawn in the entire neighborhood thanks to LCN!
Old?
@@CCCC-tq8yo older
Right there with at 70
Me too, spraying with my rubber boots and 4 gallon backpack sprayer. they have no idea what I'm spraying 😂
@@Legendary_UA lol 38 here but still like doing it!
10:38 @thelawncarenut I know you've mentioned the apparent effects of rain versus tap water irrigation in the past, but this time it got me thinking.
1. I know that municipal tap water in the USA is treated with disinfectants (Chlorine or Chloramines) to kill microorganisms.
2. I know that some of us in the lawn care community are beginning to pay more attention to soil health and beneficial microorganisms that live in it, thanks to you and JP over at Lawncology.
So, how do those disinfectants effect the beneficial microorganisms in soil?
What type of grass do you have on your lawn.
I’m wondering that too
Just what I needed. Have a few spots that aren’t getting the right amount of water. I’m going to do Hydretain on those areas and see if the videos help with anything else.
Great lawn- is tomorrow Memorial Day derby day? Thrower down?
I'm always looking for a reason 🤣
Lawn Looking good there in FL. Use to live there myself - now in TX- hot hot here lots of dry spots. So if I do not use all of the bottle receipe- how long will the left over keep ?
Great video, but I'm in Chicago. Will those tips work for my grass? Thank You. Happy Fathers Day
My God my God I finally treated my entire, lawn with this diy today. When I tell you approximately an hr later my lawn started to turn greener. 4hrs later my entire lawn was greener than any lawn on my street. I drove through my neighborhood, I didn't find one lawn greener herein the Midwest. My neighbors are peeping and looking. Sad to say they are soooo jealous, and literally it shows. I would be glad to share your channel if they ask but right now I'm getting dirty looks and it feels sooo good. Thank you Lawn Care Nut. I'm a singled mother and my lawn looks better than It did when my ex use to take care of the yardwork.
I love this dude. Shout out to the lawn men. Thanks for the helpful content.
Throwing down some Stress Blend tomorrow.
Thank you. I have a question about the sprayer. I found them in 20:1 and 30:1 ratios. Which is best for this application? Thanks again
Howdy
Put some hydratain on yesterday hoping it helps with my dry spots
thumbs up when the dish soap fell over😂
I just ordered the four play can I use that on the whole yard?
Yes you can, wet the lawn first, then spray, then water in immediately
@@Thelawncarenut thanks Allan I appreciate it
I've had really good results using milky spore powder and haven't had grub issues since I applied it 2 years ago. I'll find one or two when digging but nothing like the handfuls per sqft like before.
This dude is the LAWN GOD!!!

Hi Allyn, Love your video's, Where can I buy those hose end sprayers? Thanks, Tom
Thank you for all your information, it's so helpful. I live in Florida and my front yard was sodded with St. Augustine 3 months ago and I have these brown spots and some weeds popping up. My back yard has Bahia which also has weeds. What weed control product would you recommend that is safe for both grass types?
This video saved my ass! Laid down similar product and the issue went away!
I just asked my lawn/landscaper to fix this lol -- good timing
My dry spots are dead in 1 week. Last week it was not as “dormant” as this week
Do you have any videos on pet safe methods for either brown spots, worms, fleas, fertilizing, etc? You may not even need to make separate videos for that just state “this wouldn’t be good for yards with pets” or “you can also use this if you have pets” because I don’t know what chemicals are safe or not. I’m fine keeping them off the lawn for 72 hours if I need to, I just don’t know
Stocked up on a full year of fertilizer and fourplay thanks for the discount Allyn
6:07 “quite a little bit” is my new time measure when she asks how much longer it’ll take. 😎👍🇨🇦
I live in Oklahoma, where the summers are really hot. I believe my lawn has officially died. I have read some articles that say if I have a large area of brown patches( dirt). It's time to lay down more sod. I work long hours so it's hard to be around for watering. I really like the large blades of your grass, but will it grow and survive 115-degree weather? What would you suggest?
what is the ratio on that hose end sprayer? 20:1 or 30:1?
Hi Allyn, quick question. I moved into a new home in So. Indiana recently that was sodded with KY bluegrass as far as I can tell, or a cool season blend at least, back in early November '22. Most of my front yard is on a fairly steep slope, and there was no fertilizer treatment done to it that I'm aware of. It's still in pretty decent shape, stressing from recent drought, so I've been watering per your guidelines. I recently saw your video from years ago on new sod treatment schedule. Do you still recommend I use Milorganite starting out? I have a bag of Scott's Summerguard, and was also interested in your Stress Blend while building a package to get some Bio-Stimulants. I'm unsure where to start and with what. Any advice would be much appreciated. BTW, I'm looking forward to using the Bio-Stimulants, testing my soil, and using your new app and calendar.
Today I learned to hate moths now.
First it was birds digging, then squirrels, then grubs, then ants, and now moth larvae.
Allyn, which product is more effective with maintaining water in the yard? Hydertain or 4-Play?
Hey bro. Hydretain is really all you need for general use. FOURPLAY is for spot treatments of the worst areas.
Is there any free home remedies that I can use? I have dish washing liquid, baby shampoo, I don't have the other chemicals. 😢
My wife kept telling me we need more 4play but tell me why she wasn’t excited when I ordered a whole pallet!? I swear women are never happy
Just what I was looking for Al doing my research on my winter kill and it was an irrigation problem from the dry fall. Gonna whip up a batch when I get home tonight!
Thanks LCN!
Don't know if I missed this, but how often do you suggest applying the mixture?
I want to fertile my lawn too, which should I do first the shampoo treatment or fertiler first? Thanks
what setting did you use when using your hose end sprayer ? I must have missed it. Thanks !
I just want to say Thank you. I’ve been following your advice and binge watching your videos and my grass is growing and I’m super happy
that's great to hear! I hope you get to enjoy the mow too!!
Me too! I knew nothing about lawn care and now I have the nicest lawn on the block and I'm a lawn nut myself. I love this stuff.
As opposed to dawn have you ever tried this product from grow more called e z wet it's a soil penetrant
With the current heat wave and drought, my entire lawn is one big brown spot.
I broke up a couple mud Dauber nests and they were full of tiny catapillers like that.i think I leave them alone now
If you have the ortho hose end sprayer what setting would you suggest?
Allyn perfect timing with the sale Bruh! I’m about to order the large bag of Stress Blend! I’ve been very impressed with all of your fertilizers !
thanks Mike!
Allyn, do we have to spray the area with water first before applying the Fourplay or custom mix? With Hydretain the instructions are to spray it on a wet lawn, and the Fourplay/custom mix contains Hydretain.
Excellent question- there is no need to pre-wet with this since it's just a spot, but if you do pre-wet it won't hurt either.
@@Thelawncarenuthey Allyn should we wait for rain to drop products or is it okay to do so during drought conditions?
I don’t understand the dish soap part. Can you explain? Thanks!

Miss walking barefoot through KBG yet?
Alan, can you possibly identify a rhizome weed I have right now, 6/2023, in my lawn, in the Grand Rapids,Mi area. I've worked in your Ole Chicagoland area many times. Thanks, Greg.
Thanks again brother
Why are u using that spray for a brown spot? How do u know thats what is needed?
I have baaahiiiiiiaaaaaaagraaaasss at our new house and I love it
Should this be done only after I get a good amount of rain after a dry spell not during the the dry spell we are getting no rain here in southern wi
I'm trying to get a look at that there zoysia lol But you must be avoiding it because it looks like mine, being slow and hopefully keeping it shorter is making it run more. Can you give me an update on it since your about tree weeks behind me and it seems we've stayed in a little bit colder temps at night that I think have stalled it's progress?
Doesn’t humic acid bring down soil ph ?
What's the point of the surfactant if you are targeting a soil app? and 10% is super high. Are you trying to keep it from leaching?
the surfactant breaks the surface tension of the water so the entire solution can penetrate into the soil more readily.
Can I use four play if I have pets?
I have same thing, but the blades were super orange...I haven't put any fertilizer down so I am thinking disease. I put some diseaseex down just in case....
Not sure why you need surfactant/soap in the solution unless you want the mixture to stick to the grass. When you turn on the water to spray, you wash away the solution that were sticking on the leaves. This entire process just does not making any sense.
surfactants have more than one use case
My ducks would love the sod web worms
My Bermuda is infested with Torpedo? But it looks nice and dark green!
I wonder if RGS would help with dog urine spots- helping to prevent them.
Yes it helps them regrow. But water is the key too.
Green paint. Problem solved.
Does the person with the white van ever work?😅
Why add dawn as a surfactant, Hydretain already has an ionic surfactant in it read the label contains food grade HYDROSCOPIC and humecant compounds??? Being that we are going to be applying to the root zone not the leaf tissue, surfactants don't aerate.
What kind of grass is that?? Its so tall and thick.
I need some advice for my current situation.
I currently am suffering from tons of red ants, moths, mosquitos and ticks in my new sod lawn in zone 6b. Any recos for treatment that are safe to use in canada?? So glad Ive found your channel.
Thanks!!
The FourPlay Bottle reads 76% Hydretain , but DIY mix is 60% RGS and 30% Hydretain. Does it matter ?
You can change up the ratios if you wish - just dont make the mix too thick in that little hose end tank.
I’ve had great luck treating dry spots with the underhill H2O maximizer product.
I would have been tempted to put Fourplay/DIY equivalent during the periods of LDS hand watering. Why isn't this right?
Know thy yard. No truer words. I have several severe dry spots in my yard from the sun reflecting off of my front windows in the morning. My house faces east by design, but had no idea heated reflections were a thing. I plan to get some turf guard window film to see if that helps (along with more water).
Hey Bud!
I have seen some people use a 46-0-0 Fertillzer on those heat spots. I would believe you more because I've been watching you for years. Do you recommend this in the fall time rather than Aeration
I use GREEN spray paint.
You’re the man brother.👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Can i spray this from a back pack/battery Pump sprayer? If so would dilution be 1 gal of water or 2 gal of water?
Maybe Yard Mastery should relase a Hydratain scented candle for LCNs. Smells amazing.
Have you measured with tuna can how much water your sprinkler is putting in that area? I live in Florida and I have noticed during the drought season the pressure was lower and therefore putting less water in some areas..just a thought
Perfect timing! I'm local to you and got a nasty burn spot due to a defective sprinkler.
Just left my yard alone for the next 10 days…following your course..looking good so far I’m genuinely so excited to see it when i get back from vacation
I want to help my lawn so bad but i dont have a irrigation system in my yard how can this help if i want to make my lawn look healthy and green i see your in florida and it does get 90° here and it's bad when you dont have a irrigation system
hey Allyn should we wait for rain to drop products or is it okay to do so during drought conditions?
Hello! First time viewer! Thank you for taking time to share this. I am not a beginner, so I have a quick question when you have time….
You mentioned in the last section a video about rocks. The homeowner before me used their lawn as kind of a rock quarry, lol. So I am currently digging that stuff out.
My question is: how much and how deep should I go with rock elimination?
Thank you for your time
Just dig out the areas that have troubke staying green in summer. Let that be your guide
@@Thelawncarenut thank you again for your time and advice!
Texas this year had a huge influx of moths and butterflies this year
Great for the birds and other creatures. Play a huge role in the food web
can you do an honest review on the z6 in Florida saint Augustine. Seems like all the reviews are all on very thin grass
What is the purpose of the ionic surfactant? Isn't that used in a foliar application so the mixture spreads evenly on leaf tissue instead of beading up? Given that this mixture needs to be watered in, what purpose does it serve?
How many applications of this should I do ? Just treated my bad area yesterday morning
If I have surfactant, how much should I use. Is it still 1oz
yes 1oz is good to go of any surfactant
so the surfactant helps the 4play penetrate deeper? and be sure to spray and pray! 😂
this is why I love you channel dude, throw er down!
Thanks, great info!
A vid on chinch bugs and when to treat would be good.
My experience with Humic Acid products is they tend to clump and block the sprayer. What would be a solution for this? Thanks
Have you used the Greene County Humic12 ? I've never had it clump up. Just add water first, then concentrate and shake and you're good to go.
@@Thelawncarenut I'll give it a try. Thanks!
I have brown spot in my back yard but not in the front. I put down Sunni land weed and feed the same day the same amount
