Fall Lawn Care Plan For Bermuda, Zoysia, Centipede and St Augustine Lawns
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- I share my fall lawn care plan for bermuda, zoysia, centipede and St. Augustine lawns. I am using a combination of pre and post emergent products to control the weeds. There are still warm season weeds in the lawn such as spurge, chamberbitter, and lespedeza. I am more concerned with the cool season weeds coming such as henbit and poa annua. Timing is important with this application. I would try to get this sprayed before the cool nights hit with lows in 40s. The pre emergent will also need to be watered in. Below are some of the products mentioned in the video.

Thanks for this, Jason. I’m 67 and have been doing yard work my whole life. One of my first money making job’s as a kid was pushing a lawnmower around the neighborhood, knocking on doors and asking if they wanted their grass cut. I got $3 a yard back in the ‘60s. As a teenager, I got a job working as a greenskeeper on a gold course. As an adult, I’ve been doing my own yard work since my wife and I bought our first house in the early ‘80s. I say all that to say I never knew there were cool season weeds and warm season weeds. I’ve been watching your channel for about a year, and I’ve learned so much. I thought I was pretty knowledgeable, but I found out that I knew very little about turf management. I’m down on the Gulf Coast, so almost everything you do is applicable down here. God bless, and thanks for helping all of us weekend warriors out there.
Thanks for watching the videos. Glad you find them helpful
Can you do a video on how you mix up your spray in your tank for treating multiple houses in a day? Like the math that goes into it, how to figure up how much area you are treating on multiple houses with one tank mixture, how to figure up how much product goes in. It seams complicated to figure out how to mix all this stuff in one giant tank to treat multiple yards and be able to get it all correct
Specticle is awesome stuff! I used it last year for the first time and was amazed at how effective it was. Great video!
Awesome to hear! I just ordered some today.
Great video and great information!! You are definitely a true lawn care professional!!
Thank you
The new Celsius treats sedge!
What? I must investigate
Yes it's mixed with the chemical that's in sedgehammer
Good for warm season grass not for cool season grass, Celero will kill nutsedge, cheaper product is sultrafentrazone will burn it off for a year, I never like Quincloric for crabgrass, Mesotrione works for me. We grow annual bluegrass were I live makes a nice turf surface if you know what your doing takes a lot of labor to do it. I have a golf course.
Hi...I have been on your website looking for the cheat sheet you mentioned. I am not considering going into the business but want to educate myself for my own lawn so I don't need the pricing, marketing etc. info. The cheat sheet sounded exactly like what I could use along w/ the program you use for zoysia. I didn't see the cheat sheet listed in any of your products. Did you ever include it? Thanks
Glad I signed up for the fall!!!
Me too
Could you a video on fall fertilizer what type to use and weed killer..
Jason, what will kill Bermuda in my centipede lawn. Thanks for any help you may have.

Hey Jason, I keep missing the lives due to the heat kicking my butt and going to bed before you start. I get caught up with them usually the following morning before work. I mainly spray fire ants and mosquitoes but I have a decent amount of weed control customers and more wanting to get on the schedule. I am in florence SC and most yards are centipede. I used atrazine and msm this past spring with pretty good results. I plan on using prodiamine and was wondering if you would use a split ap in The fall and spring or just one application in the spring? Also, when it comes to pricing. How do you price yards out? For example someone with half acre lot that wants to get on your program that has normal weeds with possibly small amounts of crab grass? Thanks man and I appreciate the advice and the videos!
Thank you so very much. Huge help great video!
How important is it to "water" it in? I have roughly 50,000 sq ft; since I don't have enough water hoses I would be counting on rain to do that - hit or miss on that one. Does morning dew do anything to help the pretreatments into the soil?
Would really like your thought.
Thanks for all the time you spend on putting these videos together.
You can wait on rain. I think it's fine as long as it rains within 2 weeks or so. The label might say 10 days. I can remember. Iit might lose effectiveness if it stays there longer than that without rain. Watering in is not urgent
I respectfully disagree that nutsedge will be going away for the winter. Crabgrass will because it is an annual. Nutsedge however is a perennial that will strengthen its hold over the winter, much like those Bermuda plugs you covered your bare spot with. My experience(40 years) has shown that a late treatment in September of Dismiss/Prosedge combined with Specticle Flo(for winter weeds) greatly reduces the summer emergence.
Good advice. I guess I should have clarified. When I say go away, I mean it is not usually noticeable in the lawn
coastal fall and late winter, prosedge in summer
I'm in north MS going to try a half rate of spectrate (grainular from Lowes) and a half rate with prodiamine/24d....on a split application ... or would you suggest going a full rate?
Thanks
Thanks, But how can i mix it per 1 gallon in spect1cle flo.
Spectacle is just so expensive
Great video, have you tried sledgehammer pesticide, I heard it works good on nuts edge.
I have within the last 2 weeks. It’s highly effective
@@marionburgess5957 👍👍
I have Bermuda, can I mix prodiamine and princip for more poa annua control ?
Boy that chamber bitter has been awful on my lawn this year here in Alabama.
Great video, what is the difference between using a surfactant compared to dishwashing liquid or baby shampoo? Thanks
I have a NEW lawn. Just installed Tahoma 31 Bermuda. What can you recommend in the next coming months for pre-emergent, application rates, and soil conditioner. If you had a calendar, that’s be great. I live in SE Virginia near the NC Line. Thx
Good video
Thank you
Excellent video! I have a question: since most of us are dealing with 1,000 sqft math, if you recommend 4oz per acre (43,560) what does that work out to for applications based on per 1,000 sqft? Thanks Jason!
Read the Label.
Cross multiply to get a conversion rate
1 acre is 43.56 * 1,000 sq ft. So, if the label is 4 oz per acre --> (4 oz/43.56 = 0.092 oz / 1,000 sq ft). Very very small amounts. If doing a 5,000 sq ft area --> 5 * 0.092 = 0.46 oz. Hope that helps.
@@mrficxit1785 Most definitely - thanks brother! I've always put down 0.4oz per 1,000 of Prodiamine. Thanks again for the detailed reply!
Good day. How much of the princep Do you apply per 100 gallons?
What's your opinion on offering fertilization and weed control when your primarily line of work is grass cutting and aeration and seeding in the fall as owner operator. Reason I ask is I loose lots of money in aeration and seeding to the fertilizer companies.
The speticle when should I put it out for dove weed in the spring, that dove weed took over most of my yards I’ve got to be ahead of it next yr !
Depends on your area. But generally mid to late May
I'm going to try on my yards as well. I plan to do it starting in May going into early June
Hey Jason. I am thinking about picking up an 18oz bottle of Specticle Flo. For the fall application, can I use this on a section of my lawn (5k sqft) that was sodded this past May with zeon zoysia? The turf is very healthy but I have read to not use pre-emergents such as prodiamine for one year on new sod. However, Specticle seems to be different. Thanks and keep up the awesome videos.
I would check the label. I'm not 100% sure on that. Personally, I might skip it this fall just to be on the safe side.
The label says okay to apply after at least 3 months of growing, which should mean it's okay to put it down in September. Have you run into this in your business? Thanks again
@@alexandersackman8611 yes, i would look to see how thick and healthy it looks. But also, zoysia can be slow to establish and doesn't typically get that much poa annua
What is your opinion of oxadiazon sc herbicide
thanks for sharing your secret here- what is your rate on the 2,4-D on bermuda blanket app if mixing with preemergent? I didn't hear you mention it.
2 pints per acre
Jason, thanks for your time on this. Would you apply pre-emergent on 3 2-3 months old Bermuda?
It depends on if it is well rooted or not. If it is rooted well, I might apply it at a slightly lower rate. If it's not rooted that well then I would just wait and deal with the weeds later. It might root over the winter which would allow you to apply pre-emergent in February
Jason, thanks for your prompt reply. One more question, if I apply pre-emergent in February 2022, would it stop my Bermuda to spread and tack new roots down. I read that pre-emergent not only a root pruner but also stop new roots from tacking down. Have you seen new Bermuda stolons spread and tack on into the soil with pre-emergent like Prodiamine or Dimension 2EW applied? Thanks.
I would apply pre-emergent in February. It possibly might slow down the spread a little but in my opinion it would be worse to have a yard full of crabgrass which can greatly keep your Bermuda from spreading. I have filled in about 3 acres at my own yard all while applying prodiamine. I don't think it has stopped spreading much at all
@@lawncarelife Thank you!
Will you treat my yard in Pleasant Grove?
Is there any value to using prodiamine and Spect(i)cle together?
no both do the same thing, specticle for fall, prodiamine for late winter
Thanks. If I am going to spray MSMA on my farm, later in the fall, would that change these recommendations? How much difference would you say there is between Prodiamine WDG and Specticle Flo as pre-emergents? I am in North MS with a Bermuda lawn.
I believe msma works best with hot temperatures. I'm not sure it's going to do well in the fall. Specticle is definitely superior to prodiamine for controlling cool season weeds. With that being said, if you don't mind killing weeds with a post-emergent later, then prodiamine can also be very effective
Msma is awesome. Use it while it’s still available
So when do you use atrazine??
My Zoysia is 6 weeks old. Can I use specticle on it?
Not recommended
@@lawncarelife Thank you for your reply. Ive decided to not throw down preemergent for the fall season. Ill start my preemergent plan in spring and hope for the best right now. Im thinking about buying Tribute total. Since ill be mixing a gallon and only spot treating on a 1500sqft lawn, can i store unused already mixed tribute in a dedicated sprayer? if so how long? Id imagine one gallon would last me forever lol
you can use simazine every 45 to 60 days at 1qrt per acre as a pre until the sod roots then you can use .75lb of prodiamine
Is there a generic or alternative to specticle flo
Not that I know
@@lawncarelife ty for the response just saw this, enjoy the content
How much simizine per acre? I didn't hear that mentioned in the video, but I may have missed it. Thanks
He didn’t say?
1qrt
Image claims that it kills nutsedge. Have you tried it?? I'm near Montgomery and am battling chamber bitter right now. Omgoodness!!
Chamberbitter was bad for me this year also
@@lawncarelife Yep, What about IMAGE for nutsedge?
@@banjoeypicks no good
you can use gallery in may at a 1lb rate and will stop chamberbitter or you can use simazine in centipede or st aug
@@amandakeeler8419 ok thanks
What works best on Chamberbitter? Thats a nasty weed
gallery as a pre in may
