You haven't posted yet this spring. Just want to let you know your videos are appreciated. I like your pacific northwest prospective
I'm already working the the first video of the season. Likely will be out this weekend. Keep your eyes peeled. I appreciate you watching. 👍🏻
@@PacificNorthwestLawns looking forward to it as well!
@@maciejsiekierski8317 it's taking me longer than expected but it's coming soon
Love your videos. Thank you for taking your time to do it for us. I am truly grateful!
Thank you Sam 😁
Nate, youre channel has definitly jumped into my Top 10 list this year. You are straight and to the point, not all the "fluff" you see on other channels. And also, youre not from Utah!!
Thanks Ned. I'm trying hard to get it figured out. I'm not from Utah but I do enjoy watching the Utah guys.
@@PacificNorthwestLawns i love all the Utah guys too. I actually have a crush on Connors mullett!!
Let's not go too far now.. 🤣🤣
@@nedg3740 Do you prefer the straight to the point videos Ned? I do as well, but sometimes there a lot of info as a creator you want to get out. I hear you. PS Connor is looking good in that Mullet…Joe Dirtish lol
@@nedg3740 Ned does know good talent :)
Very good points you made in the video. Most wait until fall to even start the overseed process. Plaining ahead will increase the likelihood of a Successful crop making it thought winter. 👍🏼
Thanks Brandon. Planning does make a huge difference. 😎
I just overseeding 2 weeks ago. They are growing great 👍
Where are you that you're seeding this late in the season? Roots usually need to establish prior to a freeze and that takes about 60 days.
I’ll trade you weather? I have to wait until October lol. Then again, I don’t have frost. Great info Nate. 👊😎🌴
You can keep the hot weather junk... 🥵
@@PacificNorthwestLawns October 1st is my first frost haha.
Thanks for the tips! My lawn down in Oregon is still pretty stressed/dormant from the hot summer. I had planned to dethatch once it came back a bit. Sounds like I wouldn’t have time for that and overseeding before first frost. Tricky!
You're cutting it close. If you start watering it it should come out of dormancy pretty quickly
Good stuff as usual. It’s nice having someone from the PNW doing these vids. Put down my first round of glyphosate 3 weeks ago. Neighbors asked why I was painting my lawn blue… 😂 They think I’m crazy as all h$&l
🤣
I just did the same. My wife just rolls her eyes everytime she goes outside. 😂
Your comment on Pete's GCI Turf caught my attention and thankful for finding you. I'm also in PNW (Tacoma) and was planning on doing a complete renovation with Cool Blue. Was thinking I'm a little behind after doing the calculations from the information I found here...looks like I'm waiting until next season and just going to have to 'get my dirt right'
Thanks for the great content 👍
It's been an odd year for weather. You may still be able to do it but you'll need to get started very quickly.
Thanks 🙏🏽 for the info and websites. I’m here in Fresno California our first frost isn’t until late November first week of December I’m planning on seeding last week of August.
Perfect. That even gives you some buffer room if you have some spots to reseed. 👍🏻
Lathrop Ca , yup late August works!
Well done Nate. Good info for us in the PNW.
Thanks Don. It's almost time to get started if you're overseeding or doing a renovation. 😁
Timely video Nathan. I was just thinking about my fall strategy last weekend, and what I need to order. August is less than a week away😟. Summer is zipping by for sure!
I hope you found it helpful Gary 😉
Didnt know about that almanac tool thanks! i had been planning things around soil temp which put me guessing to seed around 2nd to 3rd week of August. turns out to be perfect timing. but would have saved me a bit of head scratching a few weeks ago.
It's a nice tool to use that a lot of people aren't familiar with. 👍🏻
Thanks for the video!! Def pushed my seeding up a bit! August 18 here we go!!
👍🏻
Me too. Im in Indiana near chicago, where we can have freezing weather on Halloween. Im shooting for dethatch n aerate this weekend. Seed by Aug 9.
I'm in Western Canada & have a lawn of 90% KBG. We can get an overnight frost any time after Sept 1, and yet We can see temps in the 70°'s right through Oct. I have never found the occasional overnight frost in Sept has ever harmed my bi-annual overseeing.
Early season frost won't always do harm but does have the potential to. It's just something to consider. 😉
I seeded PRG late October (full renovation) and just threw down some more mid November here in Southern VA. The first seed application went great and crossing my fingers on this 2nd app. Soil temps between 50 and 60 right now. The next few weeks are going to be nerve wracking.
That's a little late in the season but you'll probably be just fine. Good luck. 👍🏼
Sir, I am new to lawn care. Thank you so much for this video. The information and website you gave out, will help me. Thank you.
Thanks for the Almanac tip. First frost allot sooner than I thought. Moved up my over seeding prep work by about 3 weeks. I hit my grassy weeds last Saturday with the Glyphosate.
You do have some wiggle room. A light frost is usually OK but better safe than sorry.
@@PacificNorthwestLawns What I am worried about mainly is I put down Prodiamine on May 1st. For my pre emergent. They say you should wait a minimum 4 months before overseeding. I plan on aerating and overseeding August 21. I hope the prodiamine does not hamper the germination of the new mixture of kentucky bluegrass and ryegrass.
That all depends on exactly how much Prodiamine you applied
@@PacificNorthwestLawns I put down 3 lbs per 1000 sq ft.
@@timkorth I'm assuming you're referring to a granular product? If you have the bag still, it should state how long that amount provides coverage.
Great information Nate. I'm going to be applying Glyphosate this weekend, hoping to be seeding by August 28th.. Praying we don't get anymore high temps...
Good luck Jan! Hopefully the extreme heat is done
I live in north Texas and I alway over seed in first week of October Since September is till hot in Texas.
Being in the transition zone gets very tricky as far as timing. Later like you're doing is usually better.
Another great video! Thanks Nate!
Thanks Marc 👊🏼
Ay Nate, great topic this! Just had a rainfall of 3.5” last weekend expecting more this evening, how much does rain hinder the germination schedule? We be getting splashed on almost every other day then high temps. This summer has been a bugger not to mention the mosquitoes. Cheers mate!
Enough to cause washout would hinder it but I'm pretty sure you got some time before you should start seeding just yet. Hopefully the rain storms pass ya by then.
Spray for mosquitoes
Great video Nate ! Important info !!
Thanks Scott 👊🏼
Im doing my lawn tomorrow
Sweet. Good luck 👍🏼
Great info!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Lalo 👍🏻
Great info!
Thanks Shane. I hope it's helpful. 😁
In Fall 2022 I scalped off my existing 30 year old climax lawn. It seems to have a dozen types of grasses that all mowed differently, making the lawn look blotchy and different heights, even immediately after a mow. I sprayed Roundup after the scalp and waited 3 weeks. Reseeded with SS9000 rye mixture from Superseed Store, selected for my Zip Code and elevation (500'). I planted September 15th. My first cut was January 15th. I will reduce it slowly to 2". I need to smooth my ground thru summer & fall before I take it lower. Any thoughts or advice are welcome.
I probably wouldn't try a leveling project in the summer with a cool season grass. That's when it typically tries to go dormant. You want it to be growing vigorously. Plus if we get the temps we did last summer, it's really going to struggle. Remember you don't have to level it in one season. In fact, you're not going to. It takes several times to get it where ya want it.
I live in central Virginia. It's hard for me to have quality grass. All my neighbors have wild field grass. It's gonna get into my yard from wind. Yeah, and a bunch of clover too. We don't see it as a weed here, and professional landscapers say that I shouldn't kill it. I've been reseeding my yard for the past 5 years. 🐀🐾
That's gotta be tough.
Very helpful info! Is it bad timing to aerate/overseed early May for Zone 5a? How about fertilizer could that be applied before or after overseed? I suppose I need to do more research on what seed our local hire will be spreading. Thank you!
Nate.......have you ever tried pre-germinating grass seed? For a better success rate?
I kinda did in the fixing bare spot video a few weeks ago. I would like to think that if you're using a quality seed germination rate wouldn't be an issue and if it actually made a difference, everyone would be doing it.
Hello from Anacortes, WA. What seed mix would you recommend for a lower maintenance drought tolerant lawn? Also what company/cultivars do you recommend? Thanks for the help!!
Thanks for the video.I live in PNW, LYNNWOOD and have a lawn about 800+square feet and planning to do a renovation, KB grass. What would a good time to start the project?
That really depends on what all you're actually doing but you likely want to be seeding around the last week of August.
@@PacificNorthwestLawns Thank you very much for replying so quickly. I am thinking about doing a total renovation. This week I will be sending my soil for testing. Really appreciate your help.
Best time to plant grass in france
New subscriber here and new to lawn care. I'm in Southwest Missouri (transition zone) and I just over seeded my small lawn on October 19th and today (Nov 4th) we have a frost advisory which it got to 32°degrees this early morning. I currently have small blades sticking up but GreenCast is showing current soil temp 44° this morning. Will this kill my grass that I planted? Soil temps were between 50- 60 since Oct 19th.
It definitely could but likely will be OK. Avoid walking on it at all until it defrosts.
@@PacificNorthwestLawns should I put any nitrogen fertilizer on my lawn to help it through winter?
@@ddemier soil temperatures that cold aren't going to see any benefits of fertilizer until the spring. Doing a "winterizer" fertilizer is up to you.
@@PacificNorthwestLawns so just leave the lawn as it sits? Temperatures are going to be back up in the upper 60's in a day or two so I imagine that should being the soil temp back up to the mid 50's maybe high 50's?
@@ddemier you don't do a winterizer until soil temperatures are consistently under 50 so I'd wait. Google "The Lawn Care Nut" Allyn offers a free winterizer guide you can download. It will answer most all you questions about it.
Not first but here :)
Where have you been hiding? 🤔
@@PacificNorthwestLawns Busy watching my lawn go to crap if I can say that on UA-cam. Been busy with work and haven't kept up with the lawn so it is looking bad. Not sure I want to do another over seeding so might have to do something drastic ?? To be cont ......
So how long did it take for those arborvitae to get that tall.
I honestly don't know. They were there when I bought the house in 2014. Then they only came to the top of the fence or about 6 feet.
👍
👊🏼
i live on long island n.y. i want to seed is it to late
Looks like you're first frost is around Nov 14. I'd definitely do it very soon.
@@PacificNorthwestLawns thank you
Im so confused after watching this video
About what exactly?
Nate.......have you ever tried pre-germinating grass seed? For a better success rate?
Kinda did in this video ua-cam.com/video/nooDgPPYYSw/v-deo.html
I would think that if you're using quality seed, germination rates aren't an issue and if it really worked, everyone would be doing it.
