No questions but I must say that your story telling and editing game has really stepped up….or have I not been paying close attention? Either way, this is fun to follow. keep it up Kyle!
I tried to step it up this episode and I’m glad you gave me this feedback. Wasn’t sure if you all would like it…but thanks for this comment. I mean it 😁
You come to the realization, that what is not growing is dead... you want more out of life and your lawn instead of the same ole same ole... and now renovation, and being more than before, just the way you would like it is the destination ahead... And because you are doing it, you will appreciate the journey and all that you learn along the way... And you will see, like a father to a child, each days progress and growth, where others may not... 😁
I have the same "smart" neighbors. The last time I sprayed fungicide one walked on my lawn with his dog as I was doing it.. Neighbor : "What you doing"? Me: " killing your dog if you don't go home and wash his feet" And don't get me started on Amazon drivers lol Nice video, now time to paint it green 😂
Best of luck with this! I can't wait to see the results. When you did your first spray, did you leave your grass long or scalp it? Why did you choose what you chose? And for the 2nd spray, it looks like you sprayed the entire lawn again. Why not just spray the green parts? Do you plan on doing any leveling? If so, what material will you use?
I left the grass at around 3” because the grass blades need to absorb the glyphosate. More surface area. I sprayed the whole lawn again to ensure all stragglers were totally dead. There were small parts scattered around my yard that were still alive. Anything from here on out will be spot sprays. I do plan on leveling with straight compost. My CEC is really low (Sandy soil) so I really need to get more organic material into the lawn.
It’s always fun to start fresh on the lawn and take on a new challenge. There is nothing more satisfying than seen the fruit of our labors. Keep up the good work Kyle.
@@TheLawnMentor Thanks for another informative and well-put-together video. As much as I would love to do a full lawn renovation like this, I have 3 big dogs, so trying to burn out my backyard and start over from seed would be nearly impossible. This is something I could potentially do in my front yard though, so I look forward to seeing your progress. I sprayed the weeds I asked you about with Tenacity. If it starts to die, it isn't Bermuda. If it lives, glyphosate is my only option
@@michaelcraveiro2965 ahh yeah that could be a factor for sure. Yeah Keep me posted on the weeds…I’m really curious to see what happens. Might take another round of tenacity to see results - not sure, so look that one up
There should be a recommendation on your label for the herbicide you’re using so follow that. I waited a week because I wanted to make sure the grass/weeds were completely dead. I’d personally wait a week.
So you leave the lawn longer when your killing it off then after the second or third app a week in-between you scalp it down to the lowest setting possible? also can you leave it dead through the winter and seed in the spring very interested thanks for making the video so down to earth style
YES THAT IS KEY! Great pick up from this….you want the grass blades to have some length so they can absorb the glyphosate better - then, once you’re confident it’s dead, you can scalp all the dead material away. And don’t forget the watering part! As for the winter question, you could kill it in the fall if you wanted, but fall is when cool season lawns shine! I would plan it for late summer next year.
Greetings earthlings 🖖🖖🖖 I will be emailing you- for I am a “noob” wet behind the ears.. I am in Southern California- port of Los Angeles county! I hope to hear back from you.. Thank you in advance- million times!

Couldn’t have said it better myself!
@@TheLawnMentor Thanks. Hard to see your lawn in a bad way for. Went through thst, and this year finally coming back around,
@@andersonb8925 just like the red wings…it’s a rebuild year lol
@@TheLawnMentor Good one and too funny...
Hello soldier, you are absolutely correct you get addicted, but usually in a good way.
Great job Kyle on the do's and don'ts . Looking forward the next steps.
Thanks Keith!!!! 😀
I have the same "smart" neighbors. The last time I sprayed fungicide one walked on my lawn with his dog as I was doing it..
Neighbor : "What you doing"?
Me: " killing your dog if you don't go home and wash his feet"
And don't get me started on Amazon drivers lol
Nice video, now time to paint it green 😂
Lol yeah I was shocked the lady didn’t see me in my garb and the blue dye. Oh well.
@@TheLawnMentor they can barely read an address, common sense isn't in their DNA
I guess not 😂
Great video man. I am a little bummed though that there were no Crocs harmed in the making of this video... 🤣👊🏼
Lol heck no! Still working on that brand deal haha
Can't wait to see the results when that new seed pops up later this fall! 🙌
That makes two of us!

Thanks Chris. I’m excited for the new beginning
I’m really liking the music in this video.
Thank you! I’m glad because people in the past have said it sucked lol
This video couldn’t have come at a better time
I thought so too 😉 hope you enjoyed it!

Thanks Melissa! Glad you enjoyed it!!
After it's killed, how long do you have to wait before re-seeding?
There should be a recommendation on your label for the herbicide you’re using so follow that. I waited a week because I wanted to make sure the grass/weeds were completely dead. I’d personally wait a week.
@@TheLawnMentor I think round-up says 4 months.
I think technically you can see the exact same day as a glyphosate app. Double check your label.
Are you doing your entire lawn or just part of it?
I am doing the main 4K sq ft of my front yard!
