  • I have completed my fall overseeding for 2022 so our 2023 lawn is on the way. I decided to test overseeding this year without aerating. I typically like aerating because it helps to prepare a seed bed for the seed to fall into for germination. We will see how this goes. Hope you enjoy the video!

    I know that many people are going to ask where to buy the seed. My recommendation is to try your local landscape/seed distributor first because there are many distributors around the country for Mountain View Seed. If that does not work for you here are a couple online options, Im sure there are more out there also.
    1. Newsom Seed if you are local to Maryland
    2. GCI Turf Grass Seed with Mountain View Seed Cultivars

PLEASE view the links that are in the description of the video, I intentionally provided that information because I knew there would be many inquires about it. Thank you all for watching but please look in the description for links and purchasing information.

    Just got in the second mow today after overseeding (started later than I wanted this year). I followed your approach. Just 1 pass with the SunJoe dethatcher, raked it all up, and laid down fert. I had a bunch of starter fert left over from last year's semi renovation (using tips in your other videos) so I took a chance and used it up on this year's overseed. Threw down the Mountain View Top Choice, watered for 3 weeks and got lucky with rain these last two weeks. And now the lawn looks...AMAZING! I live in central MD, frost was fairly mild and didn't do any damage, but next year I'll start in early Sept. So in 12.5 months my lawn has gone from weedy, sparse and pretty tired looking to lush, thick and green. THANKS AGAIN for the great content!

      Thanks sir! I'm trying out no aeration this year and we will see how it goes. I like aerating in my opinion because it prepares a seed bed for the seed to fall into and the leaves the plugs on the surface also for seed to soil contact. The yard is already starting to recover but we need a little more sun to help it out. Looking forward to seeing how that Triple Threat looks when you get it up and growing.

    Your lawn looks great, even scarified! What setting did you use on the spreader? I use TopChoice grass seed as well and it calls for 3-5 lbs per 1000 square feet for an overseeding, but it looks like you're putting down much more than that.

    • @ElevatedLawnscapes
      @ElevatedLawnscapes  Рік тому +2

      Thanks 👍🏾! I put down 4 lbs/1000 in my front yard and 6 lbs/1000 in the back. The back was much thinner after power raking. Your settings is going to depend on your spreader. For my Spyker I used 6.5 in the back and 6.3 in the front and made 2 passes across the area. Again, those settings will vary depending on your spreader so you will have to dial in the setting for your specific spreader.

    • @ElevatedLawnscapes
      @ElevatedLawnscapes  Рік тому +1

      In your location you would be good with any of the cool season grasses...tall fescue, KBG, or Rye grass. Tall Fescue is pretty shade tolerant but still needs 4-6 hrs of direct sunlight to really thrive but it will do ok with less and filtered sunlight. If the area is really shady you will want to look into fine fescue, chewing, or hard fescue. Those types are more shade tolerant.

    Is the grass seed you are using recommended for Maryland? What’s the benefit of mixing the two grass seeds?

I watered and did my best but still much of the grass died in the heat of the summer.

    • @ElevatedLawnscapes
      @ElevatedLawnscapes  Рік тому +2

      I live in Maryland so this grass will grow here when managed properly with the correct mowing, nutrition, and water. The benefit of mixing in the KBG is that it has darker color, its spreads/self repairs, and provides additional density to the lawn. Cool Season grasses will begin to struggle in the July timeframe here in Maryland without the proper management practices and most of them require a preventive fungicide to keep disease from damaging the lawn. We had decent rain here this summer so too much water can also be an issue.

      Necessary no. Do you have a significant compaction or leveling issue you are working to fix? Also, many compost are high in Phosphorus so make sure that your soil test show that you need additional Phosphorus added. Continuously adding Phosphorus through compost could eventually lead to other issues.

      My neighborhood is a new build. This is my seventh summer at the house. First 5-6 were rough with the grass. For the pass 7years I’ve been treating with sod and overseeding. The last three have been overseeding. It did tremendously better this past year. It does really well in the fall, I always tear the yard down the last day or two before October. Within ten days I have grass growing, by Halloween I have 2 2/12 inches. The second week of November, I’m cutting.
      My issue is it struggles at times in the summer we’re certain ares get burned. This is primarily why I overseed every year. Also, I never knew that you could effectively overseed without putting soil down after thatching and aeration.

    How do you prevent the seed from going into the mulch bed? I got the 90/10 athletic blend from mountain view and then got the exact same 10lb bag of 365 you got. I spent 3 full days doing my lawn the labor day. I cut grass down to 1 and 3/4 then used sun joe rake on zero and pulled alot up. I wondering if i cut to low it looks crazy right now but i wanted the seed to be able to grow without the older grass covering it. I also put down an organic fertilizer thinking it takes about 2 weeks for that to work that is when the seed should be growing and that would help it. Tell me what you think about what i did. I just subscribed to your channel i can tell you make great videos and you got a great lawn. Some of these guys have channels and have crab grass lol

    • @ElevatedLawnscapes
      @ElevatedLawnscapes  Рік тому +2

      I think your plan will be fine and you should have good seed to soil contact. That is key for getting new seed to grow after germination. I am not a fan of organic fertilizers because the release of the nitrogen is not as predictable. You may think it will release slow but microbes are more active in moist and warm environments which is what is created for seed germination. Therefore, it could still be releasing fairly quickly but I do not think you will have any problems. Make sure your soil actually needs the higher Phosphorus that is in organic fert with a soil test.

      Like it was said, you might be a bit late for KB to establish. I'd act faster and try my luck. To fend off dogs peeing on the lawn, the only thing that I found that works is overwater where the dogs go, to dilute things. I only have to deal with dogs near the street which have really burnt the lawn in the past but watering a lot seems to have helped out a lot. On a hot day, if you are going to water at the end of the day where the dog went, the grass doesn't stand much of a chance.

    Say brah, I have NEVER done aeration … why ? Because the DAUM grass blades are CONSTANTLY putting AIR into the GROUND 👍🏻 people don’t realize that or something ? Grass actually is a awesome air scrubber 🧽 it is one if not the BEST natural air filters there is ! grass produces around THREE TIMES !! more the amount of oxygen than TREES !!! Did you know that ? The only reason you should ever do aeration is if the ground is clay or super hard soil or you absolutely did not take care of your lawn and just let it go to shit ! But you you are a lawn dude/woman and you care for your lawn there is NEVER a need for aeration . If you want to test your ground if it need aeration go get you a medium length screwdriver if you can push it in more than halfway your good 👍🏻if it sinks all the way to the handle and wants to keep going BACK WAY OFF the watering ! If it doesn’t go in at all you can ether Dethatch and give your ground a good soaking or use a aerator and then soak it … but ya mane I really don’t think folks like us that take proper care of there laws ever really need aeration machine.✌🏻
