PIN THIS COMMENT AL!!!
This lawn should be bangin' by next year. The current homeowner is very nice. Because of that, I have full control to do whatever I please to the lawn and landscape. I actually plan to prune all the bushes and clean up all the landscape beds just like the good 'ol days.
Your old lawn is in good hands BRUH!!!
-JTLK
I though it looked great besides a couple two tree weeds here and there 🤘
@@Thelawncarenut lol, you know I get bored having a perfect lawn. lol. I here ya.
@Jake The Lawn Kid that is a gift...to be told "do whatever it needs." You will get more of those lawns/landscapes. I bet they will always be your favorites. ;0)
That intro music is classic LCN of 4-5 years ago.
miss it!
Not gonna lie, I miss the intro music/b roll as well.
@@bk9852 well nothing to miss because it's in this video!
That MUUUUUSIC. that is the music i started to learn to love and follow this channel. That takes me back. Please move back. I miss u riding ur bike looking for crab grass, and blowing out the leaves from the tall grass in ur front yard. Or showing us how to spray bricks in ur driveway lol, spraying creeping charlie with borax...good times
This is a great comment! I agree..... over by there!
@@gnovincejr2 cold season grass...those were the days!
Old skool!
@@mmacejko929 aint nobody wearing masks back then
This lawn inspired me to have the best lawn in my neighborhood.
Loved Jake's comment. Challenges are content! Good to see you back on your old turf.
The into music brings back so many memories of watching the LCN when he was in Indiana 😢
Love the JTLK/LCN collabs. I also like seeing the older style of videos and music as well
I'm not gonna lie. I was low key Pissed that day cuz we had to rush 🤣 and it was HOT. Our contract sure put me out of breath too behind the scenes. 🤣
Allyn, THANK YOU for the “Old School” music. I put my headphones on so I could turn it up to 11.
I have been dominating my lawn in my neighborhood for the past 8-10 years ,also in North west Indiana thanks to the Lawn care nut. Everything I learned I learned on this channel.
Nice to see you back in the Chicago area with jake,we miss you up north
I bought my home in Tampa in Dec 2021 and have followed LCNs advice to a T and I have learned a lot while having success. It started out about 90% weeds and is probably about 10% weeds now. My work has also started a lawn maintenance trend in my neighborhood.
Same with me started off 90% dead grass and weeds to now only 10% and now my lawn is the talk of the neighborhood cause of how green it is and how it looks like a turf field my neighbor said my lawn looked like a baseball field from all the reseeding and watering I did and kept it fertilized!
Fun to see you guys together again. Cheers!
7-0-20 Stress Blend worked great for me here in Middle TN. It has kept my grass green and has weathered the heat and rain similarly to what is mentioned in this video.
I really enjoy these videos talking about cool season grasses!! I’m from SE Indiana so these videos are very helpful!!
We got him by record breaking high temps here in Oregon too. We got to 115 where we live 3 days straight then high 90’s for a week and high 80’s + since. Our yard is not happy at all. We’ve got a lot of dead spots that just won’t come back and seem to be getting bigger. Normally our lawn is lush and green and it’s killing us to see it like this.
The same thing happened back in August 2015 with a couple days of temps around 110 and we ended up having to reseed in the fall, this year though fall is much further away and we need to do something much sooner.
Also, that roundup for lawns is amazing stuff, I highly recommend it!!
Here’s the scenario, blue grass Bermuda mix, ball park blend. Consistently in the 90’s from June until august. 100-110 for a week straight sometimes in between. No rain in sight, hasn’t rained for 3 months.
I fertilize three times in spring, and fall. Total of 5# of n a year. I try to water every other day. Hard to do when it’s 105. I also put down humichar and other organic in between. Most say not to fertilize when it’s hot because of stress. In this scenario, how would you handle the lawn?
Lawn looks ok, just would like it a little thicker, and to hold the green better. Thanks Allen.
Love watching you two working together again!...Al, love your freedom fert and your other products from YardMastery!...Have had great experiences with my 3 orders...great products and fast shipping!!....Thanks again!..Paul
Using Triclopyr this year to control weeds (mainly Thistle). Works great and doesn’t kill the grass. 👍
Mowin', blown', and thrown' in flip flops? That's bold even for THE Lawn Care Nut. Seriously, thanks for the tips. Much needed and appreciated.
Men should wear shoes and pants. Leave the shorts and sandals to boys under 18.
Love the LCN/JTLK crossover videos. You guys are a wealth of information.
This year I am using the BioStim pack for the 4th season. This year I decided to use 18-0-1 for my N rather than granular. I have been putting a minimum of 1" of water with irrigation down each week. Our weather has been very hot but I see no reaction from my yard after 2 applications. Usually my lawn is looking excellent at the beginning of July.
I just realized Freedom feet has the numbers 17-7-6. Brilliant!
Thanks for the crabgrass info. Nice to know I need a stronger concentrate to deal with any stragglers I have right now. Cheers!
New to the LCN family and trying to get rid of crabgrass in my St. Augustine. Thanks for the tips. Being new I am scared to death to kill my grass. LOL but I trust in this family.
DO NOT USE QUINCLORAC IN ST AUG! IT WILL DAMAGE THE GRASS AS WELL.
@@Brettsgrasscapades what do you recommend me use?
Verify it's actually crabgrass first. Get in tough with your local county extension office and send them pics.
Greetings from Highland. Just threw down some Ironite yesterday.
Ooo this music takes me back to the early days. Love it.
Classic! The place where it all began! Who would have thought?
LOL.....Jake looks like he had one to many cups of coffee this morning. Love these colab videos.
This is great! I wish I had seen this video back in July when my lawn needed it the most. Thanks for all the tips! Also, I just saw your bio (Allyn) and didn't realize you were in Naperville for a few years! Wish you were my neighbor to give us a few tips.
JTLK had 2 great quotes.
- Not challenge, it’s content
- perfect lawn is boring
"perfection sucks" -JP
Nice to see your old lawn again! It’s in decent shape, but it definitely looked better when it was under your care 😏
Ah the old stomping grounds! Good to see you there. I still come across the thumbnail of the liquid iron video you did there years ago lol.
Question for you. We’re smoking off my friends zoysia next week. We plan to get a dump truck of dirt a few weeks after the kill off to level the ground. Should we cut out the dead zoysia or can we just dethatch the crap out of it and dump the topsoil over it? He’s converting to cool season. We’re in LI, NY. Thanks as always!
Thanks for the crab grass tip, just ordered the product you linked 👍🏻
"I get bored having a perfect lawn if I'm being real" Same Jake, same
Dude, rocking the dad stache. Hello from a fellow hoosier. Thanks for the posting, its really helped me with my new yard (almost an acre, sheesh).
Love the music, feels nostalgic!
Al, it must have brought back great memories cutting the grass at your old house….
Thank you for covering cool season grasses and for covering your mustache! 😂 Much appreciated! Wish Reno Nevada would get a week of rain! Im up to 15 mins 3 times a day 3 days a week on the sprinklers out front!
Spectracide kills my crabgrass and nutsedge just fine and is cheaper than all the other brands.
spectracide works great for me too
For my lawn it worked but i needed to put down 2 applications + preemergent this spring.. my situation was bad 😅 but i fixed it!
@@jacepearson2680 I also use surfactant, only need to re-apply for big ones. I don't have any crabgrass in my lawn this year so I haven't needed to spray recently.
I use Southern AG surfactant with Image and it knocks down large crabgrass in no time at all.
Just threw down some Freedom 17-7-6 this morning! And wow- does it smell like success!😮💨
Awesome video! Brings back lots of memories! I still have a box of borax in case any creeping charlie pops up. So far, I’ve been ok 😆.
That was so much fun to see you dominate on your old lawn Allyn! I have to get my lawn under control. The Three Stooges....Crab, Charlie and Clover are dominating my lawn. I got a jar of Quinclorac (same white bottle you recommended a couple years back, but have yet to throw'r down). Life got in the way, lost track of things. Should I throw'r down now?
Old school style intro, love it
Your videos have taught me a lot. Keep it up!
Never realized b4 UA-cam lawn vids how similar weather is around the US.. similar weather in NJ.
Jake has a point at the end there...it's like golf...fairways and greens all the time is boring. LOL
Chicago south suburbs here! Do you suggest using mesotrione for weeds in the summer? I do have the surfactant and a dye for application. I am mostly targeting clover, thistle weed, dandelion and creeping Charlie. I bought it last year with the hopes of putting it out in spring for a pre-emergent but missed my opportunity so now I'm looking at post-emergent treatments
78*? I'm surprised you didn't have a sweater on...lol
it's quite possible that "hmmm k" could be the new "throw 'er down"! LOL
The Region! I grew up in Hammond and very familiar with M and CP. it has been hot (not just hot but brutal) here in So Oregon very unusual but I am holding steady. My lawn is looking the best its ever has. It only took 3 years! I don’t want to jinx myself but.. things are good. I’ll be going home to Hammond in a week. I would like to meet Jake but I don’t want to be a creeper! Lol. Take care.
St. Louis received those days of rain too. Now, the Fungus is among us. At least in my TTTF...😁
Great video you answered a ton of my issues thank you 👍🏼
lovin all the b-roll of The Region! keep up the great content LCN.
NJ didnt get any recovery period :(
The Toro super recycler! I got one last year and I love it.
Hi Allyn. I just applied your 17-7-6 mix a moment ago and It must be good because it smells worse than success!...LoL. I can't wait to see its effects.
Oh yeah, it's got some funk to it ha ha !
I miss the ol’ LCN in the native stomping grounds. Great video!
That there in Indiana was his best lawn of the 3
Hey man, I don’t have any of the accounts to contact you such as Twitter so I hope you see this here.
I think a great episode, and greatly beneficial to me, would be the proper way and how you store all your equipment and products. I’ve never seen a video on this and struggle with how to do it myself.
Keep up the good work!!
I have been dealing with henbit, clover, and chickweed. I did a spot spray in early May and a blanket spray in late May. It killed off maybe 10%. In Cleveland, today is day 15 of no rain. I water to keep my yard from drying out. Would it be ok to do another spot treatment? Or another blanket treatment?
Hey Allyn Great info as usual....Have a question. What's a great alternative to Q4Plus because I'm here in Long Island New York and it's only allowed to licensed professionals. Your response would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!👍🏽😁😉
Welcome to KS. We live in the 90’s. Several weeks of 100 plus. Bermuda is taking over my TTTF and I’m considering letting it go. Water and fertilizer is eating my lunch on a yearly basis. Your thoughts?
I've made my own mix of 2,4,D and Quinclorac for my from seed zoysia lawn.
2,4,D is probably the most effective weed killer I have ever used.
My mix is Quinclorac 75 at .50 and Crossbow 2,4,D (34%) at 2 oz in one gallon.
You'll see what going to die the next day.
Boston had the exact same weather. 90 degree days then rain every day.
from the Region huh? Cool. NW Indiana here, Michigan City here.
Creeping Charlie is the alpha and the Omega. It has always been and always will be. It is immortal and cannot be killed. (Speaking from personal experience)
Good point and what's the answer - have you ever discussed how to treat / protect your lawn from dog pee?
I was told when judging grass fert. growth the 1st# is up, #2 is down, #3 is strong do you agree?. Those are store bought pre diluted. I have no problem mixing my own. Mine has 1.80% Quinclorac, mix as you wish just be carefull. Thanks for the other vid on a granular fert in hot temps i have one of nicest yards in the neighborhood. Northern Minnesota here so different zone on many things that effect many things.
Awesome safety flip flops, I have some ortho concentrate for lawns that is 8%md4 and 2-3%quinclorac only $10… we will see how it does
knock on wood i havent seen crabgrass in the lawn yet. i have in some beds and have been pulling it. but i used pre emergent in early april and then a combo pre emergent fert in early may. seems to be working.
The beginning...Straight outta Compton... Indiana!!!... suprized dat hoopdie wasn't bouncin down the road!
Hey Allyn, I have a steep easement which is a pain to mow so i am planning to use no mow mixture or micro clover lawn. Do you have any experience with them..? Anything would help. Appreciate your help.
Love the throwback music!! Keep it up
OMG you were down the block from me! I wish i knew you were gonna be here would have been cool to get a photo!
The ending...😄😄😄
How you you treat crab gras on new sod? Was hand picking but too much sprung up. Decided to spot spray and deal with the hurt spots later instead of fighting crab grass taking over
That branded bills yard mastery hat I love
I saw you cutting the grass in Flip Flops, how many toes do you have right now? LOL
No doubt, at least throw-on some tenna-shoes. That'll give you at a whole second or two of warning before those toes are chopped-up....😁
Literally right down the street from my house in crown point. I told my neighbors "water your lawns Wednesday morning because it's on like donkey Kong in the afternoon" Core aeration , over-seed, fert. Then I went on seed superstore to order some seed and delivery time said mid-September. Panic mode. Any other suggestions on getting some quality seed fairly quickly?
24-0-11 with micronutrients and iron for me in the summer.
Lesco? I have great results with it too.
@@tylerhair9067 Sunniland. It's also a 50% slow release fertilizer.
We’ve had a bunch of rain here in central IL lately but the forecast shows temps in the mid 80’s and no rain next 10 days. Should I apply Stress blend (wity hydretain) now when the lawn isn’t stressed, or do I apply when it’s already stressed??
I just bought the Spyker P20-5010, do you have issues getting the last bit of fert to flow out or are you doing the fert dance to get it all out?
So is a 18-18-18 fertilizer good to put down in the heat of summer on Long Island .I’m thinking of a8 ounce melted Dow to spray in a sprayer?
You might be a 21st century dad when a lawn care UA-cam channels intro music gets you hype.
Damn that's awesome, the two LCNs beck tagedder up nord, ol' ya. Ole da memories. But foreals o're here in minnie-sodah we got the same heat spell but not the same amount of days widd rain like dere in Indie. Joon was brutal AF this year for da upper midwest...felt like late July and now we going into da real late July heat. I just got this house widd 1 acre and da crabgrass are poking up. Dont thing da prior dood knew what he was doing....except THROWING EM DOWN (and hoped for da best). Gunn hasta try out dem quins fore da crabs yah.
I am wanting to seed in the fall and am VERY new to all of this. I recently have had crabgrass explode on parts of my lawn. Strong concentration of Quinclorac is recommended, however, I reside in NY and cannot have it shipped here. What else can I use?
Classic music too!
Where I live in NE Oregon it has been over 104 for 2 weeks straight and multiple days over 110...Watering like you wouldn't believe but thr lawn is still super stressed amd trying to go dormant. Its not even mid July. This is usually how it looks the last week of August. Help?
Lot of places all over the country are in a similar situation, where the lawn looks like it's mid August when it was only late June/early July.
One thing to consider is putting down a fertilizer high in potassium as that helps with summer stress and disease. Try Yard Mastery's Stress Blend or something similar to it.
Also consider some type of lawn moisture support application, like Hydretain. Bioadvanced makes a sort of generic version of Hydretain with the same active ingredients for cheaper. Follow the directions to a T when putting it down, as it's not as simple as spraying and forgetting.
I did both recently and my lawn looks better now after multiple days in 90+ degree temps than it did most of last summer. I think the high K content and lawn moisture support app really helped out a lot.
Do you think the low % in these products is due to making sure the general public doesn’t overdo it or due to epa regs?
Should have put the camera up in the window 🤘🏼 like the old striping videos.
I did, he cut it out 🤣
🤣 nice!!!
So Allyn or anyone else that may know...can you buy Freedom and Stress Blend from their office in Bozeman? Or is online the only way? It seems like shipping would be such a large portion of the cost. It would make sense to run to Bozeman to pick some up if they actually had stock there.
And they say you can't go home again. Myth busted. Was waiting for the ladder to come out and the old GoPro above the picture window view :)
Striperman, good late evening to you , another glorious partly cloudy bird chirping day here , 22 degrees here , heading for 24 max today, how was it your way today ?
Good Friday mate. It was so hot today that the birds were sweating. No chirps today because their beaks were dry 🤣
Q4 plus does not ship to NY. Whats another effective alternative post-E for crabgrass? Thanks!
so nice to see some throwback stuff. Your old lawn is thrashed. So sad That indeed was 9 days of ignorant, florida type, rain beings I live fairly close to where you were filming. I was thinking that amount of rain would wash away my preemergent, and I should reapply. I figure it is not worth it. The nutsedge at the down spouts is where chemicals need applied.
How do I get rid of nut grass. I always see it in July and August. Thanks
Sedgehammer.
Should of came and seen my backyard putting green while up here
How do you mow in flip flops? That's so nuts...
The N in LCN stands for nut…😁
@@mmacejko929 Exactly lol
Any tips on killing dollar weed in st Augastine grass ?
