I would like to say " Thank You " because after watching many of your videos, I went out and busted my but to follow your instructions and now my yard looks like something out of a magazine. I have all my neighbors walking by commenting on how beautiful my yard is compared to all the other yards in my neighborhood with dead grass. I feel like a proud Peacock thanks to you! You have an amazing way of explaining everything that makes a person want to listen to every word you say. Again, Thank You! Lawn Care Nut.
Lot's of people over think lawncare for sure, Depending on where you live (NE here) a lawn needs water, food ( fertilizer) and seed to fill in bare areas. If you've got some moss, lime your lawn. Keep up with the weeds and allow your grass to grow it its proper height (3.5-4.5 with fescue which everyone has here) to help smother ground cover weeds, and spray or pull the rest when you see them. Your local Depart of Agriculture will usually have resources for what fertilizers to use and when, or just buy an all rounder. I personally would recommend using organics as sadly most lawns are missing organic material to sustain healthy soil. Mulch your blades back into the lawn since that's where the fertilizer goes and you're off to the races
Hi Allyn, I can’t thank you enough. I’ve never been happy with my lawn. I followed your video and did all the steps. I ordered all the products from you, just to make sure I got exactly what you were using. I can’t even tell you how amazing my lawn looks now. Thank you so much!
@@TheLawnCareNut can u please put the temperatures cause temperature matteres.. and fall Temps for Me are like 10 degrees and I'm not sure If that's to cold
My lawn has been perfect all this year up until the point when I had to travel to Europe for 3 weeks so I hired a mowing company to mow my lawn. From August 1 to Ausugst 25 they mowed my lawn 4 times and they managed to destroy it. They were mowing it when it was actually raining so 1) their zero-turn mowers' tires were skidding thus ripping my lawn; 2) their tires bent down the grass blades so my lawn looked like a Six Pistols concert (mohawks); 3) their mowers couldn't mulch all this wet soaking grass, so they were dumping chunks of unmulched grass on my lawn and these dumps rotted the lawn and created a bunch of yeallow spots. This video is as helpful as it gets to bring my lawn back to life. Thank you Allyn.
Over seeded my lawn at the beginning of august with Barenbrug RTF, started coming in beautifully. Last week, it was devastated by army worms literally over night. I nearly broke down in tears.
Thanks for supporting my desire to throw some extra seed down in the thin spots. You're right. It does make me "feel better", which as long as it's not hurting anything, then I'll gladly take the mental boost!
This is my second try at growing my lawn in completely bare spots and over seeding it in my yard here in Denver. My lawn was a mess and I was frustrated. Now it is rising from the dead! This video made it happen! THANK YOU! It has been bone dry so after last year's summer failure (no seed sprout)I waited until the last 100º day in the early fall to seed. As soon as the weather turned and saw some rain and cooler weather in the forecast I was on it. I did take care of the severe weed problem 10 days earlier with TZone SE. That has been the most effective lawn weed killer I have ever used and it did not harm any of the existing grass. Broadleaf lawn weeds here in Denver are crazy fast spreading and growing. I have tried (and wasted) several products (available at big box stores) in the past that these weeds just laughed at and carried on. TZone SE was effective within days. Now, I have been hand watering the sunniest spots without fail 3 times a day (during daytime) for the past 10 days. That was key for the seed to thrive. The sun and weather dries things instantly up here in Colorado. Thanks again for helping out DIY's and helping us save a ton of money. I wish I would have watched your videos sooner.
This is the video I needed! I'm also in Fargo and I'm doing a complete renovation. I sprayed glyphosate 2 days before the city enacted the watering restrictions, and those rains you mentioned made my top soil delivery to heavy to dump. I was worried that I'm doing everything too late, and there's not enough time to get the new grass established before winter... Then, low and behold, the Bermuda grass guy, LCN drops a cool season grass video...in my city? Awesome!
I saw your video - I think you are in good shape overall there. I have never been one to encourage the burndown but I know why people do it and it's for sure a viable choice for many.
Really works!! I was looking for many ways to have thicker green grass. Followed your video step by step and is done. “Well Done” Dark green deep color, thicker grass and no weeds. Thank you!!!!
At 10:07 is what I always say when I'm spraying Tenacity, Speed Zone and Quinclorac all mixed together, but then when I put some Humic 12 in there, it's morality game changer.
I also love that combo on my cool season grass! This year I had nutsedge all over and added sedgehammer to the mix and everything worked out just fine.
I may be a downer here but we also got 6 inches of rain in two weeks in Fargo between the before and after here. My lawn did this with almost no extra input. However I do follow many of these tips and do appreciate this as a person living in Fargo as well.
Sure, all lawns recover differently. Here are pics of our lawn beside the neighbors after all the rain. thelawncarenut.com/blogs/news/fall-lawn-care-seeding-and-fertilizing-questions
Allyn for years you and ryan knorr have helped me alot in my town....i get asked all the time how ive kept my yard for 11 years staying green especially in the summer....just wanna say thank you and keep up the great work helping ppl.👍
Yes, the liquid Air8 works great! No need for mechanical aeration as you can see the results we got! thelawncarenut.com/collections/liquid-fertilizer/products/air8-1-gallon-1#
I used Air8 a few days ago. Is it normal my grass started to get a bit brown/blackish? I watered it in after I applied and we got a nice rain the night after.
You are the greatest! After purchasing a new home, the sod the builders laid did not root to this southern red clay. It also came with a bunch of weeds in it and brown spots starting popping up. After watching your videos, I have applied your instructions, recommendations, tips, and tricks. I must say my lawn is thicker than everyone else's. Now that we are in September going into the fall, what do you recommend for preparing your lawn for the spring/summer for bermudagrass? Can I apply these same techniques from this video for bermudagrass?
We bought or home four years ago and the cool season grass was neglected in very poor condition. We cut down some pine trees and the grass would not grow. Last summer, I used a towable thatch rake and overseeded with tall fescue. There was a big change by throwing down extra seed in the worst areas.. This year in August, I sprayed the weeds, added 1/4lb tripple-12 fertilizer, waited 3-4 weeks, overseeded again over the entire property at 1/3 the bag rate to help improve the existing lawn.. About Bermuda, its a little invasive, keep up with the fertilizer, insect control and your thick lawn should thrive.
As a Canadian I am always jealous of all the products you have available that we simply are not allowed to use. I can't seem to find any good Canadian lawn care youtubers. Do you have any you would recommend or do you have any knowledge of Canadian restrictions and have videos about our options?
I think Canada doesn't like lawns much since you do have all those rules. And I've been wondering when the Canadian lawn tubers would show up but so far, the closest I can find are the Nelk boys 😃
The best setting that I found for over seedling a 1 year old lawn(due to severe heat, drought, & army worms this summer) with the Scott’s Elite Spreader is 8.5 for TTT Turf Type Tall Fescue. This will put down 5-8 #/K. Sowed Defiance XRE, Titan RX, Rebel XLR & V, 2 types of Pennington, 2types of Bluegrass, & perennial ryegrass.This year added Titan RX to my own blend. Great Video as always!
LCN good tutorial. Love to see you start with a really toasted cool season salad-bar type lawn to conduct a reno in the future. If you need an example lawn in Pa let me know.
Thank you so much for the EQ associated with this. Throwing seed does feel good. And there’s never a bad time to work on your relationship with your lawn😊
Hey Al been following you for years. Now I have achieved total domination. So they keep asking Mike what do I do. Now I know what to tell them. Just watch this video. If they are serious I’ll know by their questions. Then I will go the distance for them. Thanks for the help.
Hey Allyn! Thank you so much for putting together this video. I'm trying to seed a lawn from scratch. I have a recently graded bare backyard, I have a creek on one side and a wooded lot on the other, and I deal with constantly invading weeds. I also have dogs. I figured I'd best go with "the alpha of all grasstypes"... am I on the right track with bermuda? I'm in north Georgia, and my average soil temp is around 77 degrees this week. Since it has been a few weeks from the time I had the lawn graded, and I've been out of town, I've had some weeds invade. Is there a certain broadleaf weed killer that I can spray that won't harm my seed? I notice the Meso doesn't list bermuda. Thanks! Have a happy Labor Day!
THis is a tough one - mainly because it's late in the season for bermuda seed since the days are getting shorter and shorter. And it sounds like you may have some shade which coupled with dog traffic is going to be hard on the bermuda. I'd be prepared to reseed next spring and hope for the best. For weeds, I would spot spray only with Celsius, use surfactant.
I always ignore the spreader settings completely. I just calculate how much stuff I need, set the lowest spreader setting, and walk around until all of the stuff is on the ground. It takes a bit longer, but guarantees a much more even distribution.
I hit your program hard in 2019 and 2020 after I found it. This year I’ve barely mowed once every 2 weeks with the birth of our twins. Let’s see if I can’t resurrect it with a little encouragement and a few tips from Mr. LCN
One thing I learned from the Gardena Irrigation app was that Gardena starts watering at 03:30 and alternates between 3 planned zones . This will stop around 06:00 and each zone for 20-30 min each. It will also adjust to the changing daylight. In addition to it comes with a sensor that measures soil temp and humidity . We also ( unlike last year) had a rainy Sommer. I had no need for chemicals , but did hand weed out crabgrass and other weeds . The grass finally choked out the weeds . Thanks for your videos
I'm late and I'm watching you on my TV but I had to come back and comment. Not The Power Team!!! Watching them tear apart phone books was an integral part of my childhood! Whatever happened to those guys? 😂😂😂
Hey Allyn, question. I was looking to superseed or do exactly what this video described later this month. I planted mostly tall fescue so will be planting that again but there's a lot of barley grass in my neighborhood. I live at the end of the street in a cul-de-sac so stuff just comes down the street all the time and I can't keep the barley grass from mixing with the fescue. Any ideas or just get over it? I'd have to burn the yard and reseed to get rid of it but already did that last year and it just comes back.
I’m in a new build and the sod was put down during extreme heat and on top of bad soil. I decided to seed with GCI TTT because I have a lot of spots. I’m hoping all goes well as I’ve been following your guide. I’m on day one after seeding and just purchased the liquid hydretain. My first home and first lawn so you are inspiration for me. Thanks for all the advise and guidance, but honestly I can’t imagine my lawn looking that good. Lol
What was the application rate for the Greenview Seeding Success. The bag says it covers 780 Sqft, I would need 23 bags at 40 bucks a bag. Just wondering.
@@TheLawnCareNut What about people who live in Washington State? Any alternatives to Meso that you would recommend to prevent weeds at the time of seeding? Or is that the only thing that exists?
Hey Allyn, apparently I missed the application of AIR8. I've been wanting to try this instead of plugging. And apparently that stuff works because the project lawn in this video turned out great! Could you give your professional opinion on liquid aeration?
Yes it works really well. It flushes nutrients from the soil by breaking bonds. This also allows roots to dive deeper which is our goal, especially when we pushing the lawn with fert.
Are there plans for Yard Mastery develop with a starter fertilizer that includes mesotrione (tenacity)? I've been using the Scotts starter fertilizer with mesotrione in it with great results but they're also the only game in town that does this, which is reflected in their high price. It'll be good to see competition in this area.
I used to use that and switched to liquid meso and got much better results. I'm not sure if it's the pellets not landing near every weed or the strength being limited (maybe both, not sure), but while liquid is a PITA, it was worth it.
It has been a brutal summer up here in NoDak, i over over seeded 3 weeks ago with some green pop, it cooled off and we got some liquid gold...BOOM, the lawn just exploded. Just thru down my last bit of carbon x 😢. Gonna blow this baby up!
Thanks Allyn for this video. His lawn looks great! I decided to cancel my aeration for front lawn because of cost. I am going to follow the steps in this video and I am hopeful my front lawn will look this good in a few weeks!
Yes I to followed your instructions. Friday will be 2 weeks since i seeded.. I have watered 3 times a day for 5 minutes each. I picked mushrooms out of the lawn this morning, so maybe i need to cutback on the time to 3 minutes. Most of the yard is green and thick except for areas that were bear and require the seeding most. I want to cut the grass on Friday accept for the areas that need special attention. Thank you so much and feel free to offer your opinion. I am unskilled and doing the best that i can.
it's def time to cut back the watering - once per day is good and then get to every-other-day soon after. Feel free to mow whenever you like, just be careful of those thin spots like you mentioned. Nice work all around Millie!
Alan, i bought the air8 to apply to my yard. My neighbor helped me with measuring the product and setting up the sprayer. Anyway 4 days after application i got a perfect benefit with my Maple tree that has clorosis for 30 years in the yard. The leaves turned green. Not the whole tree but about half. Some of the leaves have a tinge of red. So happy. The grass looks great. What a pleasant result. Thank you💕
Thanks LCN! This is the first year on your plan here in TN. Yard was stressed and beginning to show signs of getting healthier. Next year we may tackle that Bermuda grass. (Like killing it off!!) and reinstalling tall turf fescue.
Hey Allyn, welcome to Fargo. This was a game changer for me since I have been watchin you for year's but you mostly cover Bermuda grass. We had a bad drought this year and I am amazed at how different this yard looked after only two weeks. I dethached my yard because I thought it was unable to be saved. I only did my front restoration but the backyard will done per this video. I have been wanting to get into lawn restoration up here. Thanks for the video! I hope you can do more up here in the Fargo area.
Hi from Palm Harbor, It was summer that day. . . Seed cover, it's like Gremlins watch out for the water ... spreads out when it gets wet. Talk about instant gratification! Nice job Allyn
Nice Job. I just did the same during the last week in August here up in Joisey. Chomping at the bit to mow it for the 1st time and trying to do things to keep my mind off it, like detailing the vette or cleaning out the garage
Build houses in a wind tunnel lol I have so much compost and my septic tanks just got removed the whole yard is tore up I have like 8 bags of grass I've thrown down in specific areas and have great results the 5 or so times very satisfying
Its amazing, all the other lawns in the neighborhood are just as green without all the products at the end. Rain and cooler temps is what made the difference.
Great video. About to do something similar to my "lawn" in a new development. Just waiting on the Starter Fertilizer and my Bio-Stimulant pack to arrive. Thanks for all the advice!
A very good video. I'm in Wisconsin and my lawn looked similar. Nice to see something rather than Florida. Unfortunately water is very expensive by me due to the city insisting that expanding the tax base is a good thing. Yeah. It runs us out of cheap water.
Thanks good to see Hydretain liquid okay to use with Tenacity (pre-emergent/post-emergent) herbicide. Answers that questions box, returned liquid and bought pellets. Nice support of cold weather growers.
I usually set my Scotts rotary spreader at 3.5 for reseeding. I seed like you do - throwing some seed on bare spots. I lime at a 5.0 setting and drop Milo or other fert at the same rate.
Thank you so much for the video, definitely just dug into the rabbit hole of lawn care and glad I found your page. I thought I was just going to buy some 3 in 1 you talked about in another video but after seeing this video I think I’m going to give it a shot! In Tampa FL so I’m hoping I can take advantage of Spring Showers.

Hey Allyn, question. I was looking to superseed or do exactly what this video described later this month. I planted mostly tall fescue so will be planting that again but there's a lot of barley grass in my neighborhood. I live at the end of the street in a cul-de-sac so stuff just comes down the street all the time and I can't keep the barley grass from mixing with the fescue. Any ideas or just get over it? I'd have to burn the yard and reseed to get rid of it but already did that last year and it just comes back.
I’m in a new build and the sod was put down during extreme heat and on top of bad soil. I decided to seed with GCI TTT because I have a lot of spots. I’m hoping all goes well as I’ve been following your guide. I’m on day one after seeding and just purchased the liquid hydretain. My first home and first lawn so you are inspiration for me. Thanks for all the advise and guidance, but honestly I can’t imagine my lawn looking that good. Lol
Congrats on your new home ! Keep it watered and you'll see some very fast improvement for sure !
It's been a year now, how did it all turn out?
First
dangit
Get out of here Connor!
Connor is an oaf!
First Lookie Lou
I wanted to thank you for this video. My lawn looks amazing!!!!
What was the application rate for the Greenview Seeding Success. The bag says it covers 780 Sqft, I would need 23 bags at 40 bucks a bag. Just wondering.
I bought 5 bags of this and I ended up using 2.. we’ll see what happens
OMG! i am so excited to do this. I ordered everything and waiting on it to arrive!
Good Luck.
When your reseeding or overseeing, can you also use granular prodiamine at the same time of seeding?
No, mesotrione is your only option when sending.
as Matt said, only Meso is labeled for application at the time of seeding - it's a different active ingredient than prodiamine.
@@TheLawnCareNut What about people who live in Washington State? Any alternatives to Meso that you would recommend to prevent weeds at the time of seeding? Or is that the only thing that exists?
God I lolled at the "Makes you feel good", that is so true!!! Love your work.
Thanks KJ!
Hey Allyn, apparently I missed the application of AIR8. I've been wanting to try this instead of plugging. And apparently that stuff works because the project lawn in this video turned out great! Could you give your professional opinion on liquid aeration?
Yes it works really well. It flushes nutrients from the soil by breaking bonds. This also allows roots to dive deeper which is our goal, especially when we pushing the lawn with fert.
Best video on lawn care I have ever seen
Are there plans for Yard Mastery develop with a starter fertilizer that includes mesotrione (tenacity)? I've been using the Scotts starter fertilizer with mesotrione in it with great results but they're also the only game in town that does this, which is reflected in their high price. It'll be good to see competition in this area.
That's a great idea !
I used to use that and switched to liquid meso and got much better results. I'm not sure if it's the pellets not landing near every weed or the strength being limited (maybe both, not sure), but while liquid is a PITA, it was worth it.
Someone is about to make alot of money off your idea
Love this idea as well.
“When you feel good you get better results!”😃
Really great results man. Zero to hero in 18 days... SOLID!
Thanks bruh !
Impressive results. I love the shade of green achieved here.
It has been a brutal summer up here in NoDak, i over over seeded 3 weeks ago with some green pop, it cooled off and we got some liquid gold...BOOM, the lawn just exploded. Just thru down my last bit of carbon x 😢. Gonna blow this baby up!
oh yeah!
Thanks Allyn for this video. His lawn looks great! I decided to cancel my aeration for front lawn because of cost. I am going to follow the steps in this video and I am hopeful my front lawn will look this good in a few weeks!
sounds good Betty! thrower down!
Nice lawn transformation! Great work, man!
Yes I to followed your instructions. Friday will be 2 weeks since i seeded.. I have watered 3 times a day for 5 minutes each. I picked mushrooms out of the lawn this morning, so maybe i need to cutback on the time to 3 minutes. Most of the yard is green and thick except for areas that were bear and require the seeding most. I want to cut the grass on Friday accept for the areas that need special attention. Thank you so much and feel free to offer your opinion. I am unskilled and doing the best that i can.
it's def time to cut back the watering - once per day is good and then get to every-other-day soon after. Feel free to mow whenever you like, just be careful of those thin spots like you mentioned. Nice work all around Millie!
Alan, i bought the air8 to apply to my yard. My neighbor helped me with measuring the product and setting up the sprayer. Anyway 4 days after application i got a perfect benefit with my Maple tree that has clorosis for 30 years in the yard. The leaves turned green. Not the whole tree but about half. Some of the leaves have a tinge of red. So happy. The grass looks great. What a pleasant result. Thank you💕
I love seeing you up north here. I’m 90 mi from Fargo.
Great video! Refreshing to see and know that not everything needs to be so precise. Very encouraging! Thank you!
This video breaks everything down so well and shows all the steps. Thank you. Will be doing this next weekend. Cant wait to see how it turns out.
that's awesome! You will get nice results and then all winter you can plan for your next season!
Wow look that those results. Awesome video as always.
thanks bro!
Following your tips Allen just leveled and overseeded my lawn truer down fingers crossed thanks for all the tips over the years
hope for the best!
Great work. KBG is what we used up in Canada great grass. Which we have the Products you used. All about Scott Fertilizer. Keep up the good work.
Thanks LCN! This is the first year on your plan here in TN. Yard was stressed and beginning to show signs of getting healthier. Next year we may tackle that Bermuda grass. (Like killing it off!!) and reinstalling tall turf fescue.
Amazing results in 18 days!
Hey Allyn, welcome to Fargo. This was a game changer for me since I have been watchin you for year's but you mostly cover Bermuda grass. We had a bad drought this year and I am amazed at how different this yard looked after only two weeks. I dethached my yard because I thought it was unable to be saved. I only did my front restoration but the backyard will done per this video. I have been wanting to get into lawn restoration up here. Thanks for the video! I hope you can do more up here in the Fargo area.
I couldn't believe how many restaurants you all have lol. There is a "burger brew" place on every corner. 😀
Oh, and you are at perfect timing to work on your back lawn now, thrower down and have fun !
@@TheLawnCareNut JL Beers and Sickies Garage are pretty good Burger joints if you like burgers.
Hi from Palm Harbor,
It was summer that day. . . Seed cover, it's like Gremlins watch out for the water ... spreads out when it gets wet. Talk about instant gratification! Nice job Allyn
thanks bro!
Nice Job. I just did the same during the last week in August here up in Joisey. Chomping at the bit to mow it for the 1st time and trying to do things to keep my mind off it, like detailing the vette or cleaning out the garage
I'm sitting here wondering where I have seen you. Then I realized this is the guy that was on the Millennial Farmer channel!
Great video. Feeling pretty confident I can handle this on my own in a few weeks.
Allen: "We want to care about your feelings..." LOL. The implied, "We might not though" is perfect.
Thanks for the content Big AL! Good stuff brother. 🙏🙏🙏
Build houses in a wind tunnel lol I have so much compost and my septic tanks just got removed the whole yard is tore up I have like 8 bags of grass I've thrown down in specific areas and have great results the 5 or so times very satisfying
I use a lawn care company to do this and result were pretty much the same as before the the seeding took place.
Great video!!! I've learned more about growing grass than I ever wanted to know. Lol. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
awesome! that is my goal!
Definetly a quick turnaround, lawn looks awesome!
Thanks bro
Great video for us newer overseeders
I live in South Dakota and can confirm that it's windy 99% of the time. Spraying/seeding in the wind is the norm...
Its amazing, all the other lawns in the neighborhood are just as green without all the products at the end. Rain and cooler temps is what made the difference.
Exactly what I was seeing
That's true, but the products were definitely already working in the middle shot (the 2nd pic)
What a quick turnaround! Looks much better.
thanks bro!! fun to see.
@@TheLawnCareNut, 👍🏼.
Great video. About to do something similar to my "lawn" in a new development. Just waiting on the Starter Fertilizer and my Bio-Stimulant pack to arrive. Thanks for all the advice!
thrower down bro! have fun.
Class stuff again Allyn! Much appreciation for your video! Cheers
Keep up the great work! Your videos inspire me to create awesome videos for my lawn care channel as well!
Getting me pumped to throw 'er down this week! Good stuff Allyn!
that's the idea! thrower down!
I always feel better after slingin' my seed around. ;)
A very good video. I'm in Wisconsin and my lawn looked similar. Nice to see something rather than Florida. Unfortunately water is very expensive by me due to the city insisting that expanding the tax base is a good thing. Yeah. It runs us out of cheap water.
Wow!! This is great video!! Looks fantastic!! Great information!!!
i feel good because you feel good. great job LCN
that's how we roll !
Thank you for the great lawn care content!
You are the lawn G.O.A.T
Thanks good to see Hydretain liquid okay to use with Tenacity (pre-emergent/post-emergent) herbicide. Answers that questions box, returned liquid and bought pellets. Nice support of cold weather growers.
Wow, this is an awesome video tutorial, thanks for sharing!!!
I usually set my Scotts rotary spreader at 3.5 for reseeding. I seed like you do - throwing some seed on bare spots. I lime at a 5.0 setting and drop Milo or other fert at the same rate.
This is Awesome 🤩
Got my overseed down this weekend. Lots of work but feels so good!
oh yeah! cheers!
Wow looks great! Nice job! I really like the YM starter fert!
Thank you !
Thank you so much for the video, definitely just dug into the rabbit hole of lawn care and glad I found your page. I thought I was just going to buy some 3 in 1 you talked about in another video but after seeing this video I think I’m going to give it a shot! In Tampa FL so I’m hoping I can take advantage of Spring Showers.
You get a non-windy day in Nodak about as often as you get snow in Tampa.
I wish I would’ve known about those pellets before half my kbg washed away! Awesome turn around!
Slinging seed makes ya feel good!
