"How to gain an inch" was my nickname in college.
! haha. Need to update everyone on your dads Grass and that broken red thing he had on his lawn!
@TripleAstyle1 we will be waiting awhile for update as their Harvest has just gotten underway , but yes would be nice to see for sure
That third irrigation head popped out like John Rambo in a ghillie suit.
ha ha! yes it did.
Thanks for giving us a break from the insanity that exist in our world. You always stay true to the mission. Appreciate that very much!!
you're welcome bro! Happy to do it!!
Back in 2011 I emailed toro with measurements of my yard and they sent me free design plans and a parts full parts list so I could setup irrigation. It was a really nice service.
I wonder if I could do the same, the irrigation my builder put in are less than crap
@@unfaix It's worth a try.
I love that im not deploying anymore and can actually watch regularly and keep up. Love what you do brother!
hoorah! short timer!!!
I would love to see your neighbor's reaction whenever you "BAHIIIAAAAAAAGRAAAAS!".
They are used to it by now. Like having a train behind your house, eventually you don't even notice it. 😁
cracks me up
Caught me off guard watching at 630 am.
I recently installed a small sprinkler system for my St Augustine sod. Only have 7 heads, but used Toro funny pipe. Great product and other than digging the trench, it installed in about an hour.
Spot on. Spring down here was more like the Sahara dessert, now it's a rainforest, lol. Thanks a ton, didn't know about the the growth pattern of stolons, was thinking fungus. Currently dealing with some bright yellow and bleached looking areas post fert. app.
Inspiring video, as a new homeowner I look forward to spending time with my yard.
THAT STRAIGHT DISS TO RAINBIRD HAD ME IN TEARS...🤣🤣🤣
Great to learn about different grass issues in different regions. Thanks for the explanation on how the grass grows. I really enjoyed the tutorial. Loolomg forward to the upcoming videos, especially as winter sets in soon here.
Nice ! thank you for watching.

I like your channel living here in SW Florida it will come in handy. I like flex hose at all my heads , you can run over it with a semi and it won’t break it and also allows a little slack if you have to raise it later.
My wife and I are building in manatee county, so stoked to have found this channel. Moving from an area with cool season grass down to sw Florida is a bit different.
Thanks to Cleetus McFarland and the Freedom Factory I'm now watching lawn care videos and dreaming about having my own lawn.
That's the best looking St Augustine Grass I've ever seen!
🤨 I literally just spent the day installing 20 K1 heads. Oddly I’m right on point with the nut checking his irrigation heads going into fall.
🤪🤘🏼
I’m rocking the Ranchio v3 it’s awesome I must say, so far I can’t stop saying..... that’s so cool!!!
I picked up a darwin grip 2 months ago too, love it!
yeah it's a cool invention - I really need to make a video about it here soon.
I have several rental properties where I provide lawn service. I own 5 toro personal pace mowers. Love them!!! My favorite one is the AWD model. Dang that mower is fine!!
they are the best!
great video as always thank you
Throwed down some 16-4-8 BAL X today . Cleaned up around my donuts. Trimmed some plants. Finally cooled off to do special projects around the yard here in Jacksonville.
You will love the result from that BalX. I too have enjoyed the cooler temps, welcome relief.
Great video my friend. Toro tech is world class.
Great video Allyn thanks for explaining stolons on the Saint Aug.
you're welcome!
Watching 👀 from Ohio and I like what I see! God Bless! ❤
thanks bro!
Throw er’ down Cowboy!!!! Man this video is just what I needed like some Good ol relief from the tedium. Green grass and excellent advice!! I won’t see my yard till late 2021 👎 it’s super rough as I can see now.
It would be a great collab video cause it’s gonna be a reno at least. Central IN area “JTLK & LCN dominate the rough ridin’ clay bluegrass beast” 😂
Sorry I digress!!! I miss mowing bad.. greetings from Camp AJ in Kuwait.
hoorah! Stay frostie brother.
Allyn just wanted to say thanks,. Watching this on Sunday morning, can’t think of a better way to start my day Bruh!!
Hoorah thank brother !
The Lawn Care Nut have you put any thought about the hand bent hat idea? Was curious.
Thank you! I have St. Augustine grass up here in Jax. I thought it was crab grass. 😂 Thanks to this vid, I know better. Def will be following
Enjoy your Sunday Allyn☕️☕️😎👊
thank you bro! you too! you're up early!
I use the T5 heads. I really like them. All the commercial guys around here use them as well. 👍🏻
That is good to know! They are used alot around here for that extra inch for sure. Plus, Toro just dominates so many things anyway 😂
Saw all the work you did at the freedom factory, looking forward to the video
Thanks bro! hope you enjoyed it!!
Saturday upload! Love it.
👊🤘
Hello from Ellenton. Looking forward to seeing more Florida videos.
Hey neighbor!
Love the hat! Fort Lee PD is the best!
Allyn, good video. I live in East Texas and our rainy season is opposite of yours. Our springs are wet, when the St. Aug roots get to grow deep. The summers are HOT & DRY, and thanks to the deep roots, they do okay until the fall, when the rains come again. I don't seem to have the yellowing problems, unless we get into a significant summer drought. BTW, we don't use irrigation systems here. That's for sissy grass.
Ha ha !! You must have some REALLY deep roots if you have no irrigation !
@@Thelawncarenut This old red clay will hold moisture for a long time, but when it dries out, it turns into a brick. I honestly don't know anyone in my general area who has an irrigation system installed, and we all have fairly green lawns during the spring, summer, and fall.
Awesome man toro sounds like a great company and I am really wanting to buy a mower and I'm looking into a toro for that reason thank you for this video
You know I like be their mowers 🤘
Oh yea I do also I cant wait to buy one
Great video, Al!
thanks brother!
Giving the bird to rainbird lol... love them Toro heads
I use Toro soil sensors and they work great. When the soil dries it kicks on the water from my smart controller. If one zone does not need watering it will not turn on.
Hey, Allyn. When I dig around my St. Aug, I like to put a plastic bag before I start digging. That way, I don't have to worry about getting my crass covered. I just pick up the bag and dump the dirt back in the hole. Mess free.
That is a really good tip. I may use that one if it's ok with you.
@@Thelawncarenut Sure!
Awesome collab with Toro! Keep it up buddy!
thanks bro! 👊
@@Thelawncarenut You betcha Brosevich!
Great video! Love the hat! Bring on the Christmas lights!!!
Not long now !
Goodmorning!
We are nearing our first freeze, so my ironite application is going down tomorrow. Hoping it lets me push some green longer into fall than my neighbors.
keep it well watered - that will help too.
GREAT music in this one!
Thanks bro !
Big fan of the RapidSet rotors I have
First I've seen the but I really like them too
@@Thelawncarenut ours came in the system that was installed when we built our house 3 years ago.
Freedom factory thanks you!
Great video!! Is it okay to put down Scotts weed and feed now here in Central Virginia? Just purchased a new home and and the lawn has lots of weeds and clovers.
Totally off topic from this video but I have a question. I bought my house 2 years ago and there is an odd mixture of competing grasses in my lawn. So far I've identified a struggling st. Augustine, bermuda, and zoysia. My question is, with these three grasses in competition already can I set the stage for the zoysia to take over by way of caring for the lawn as if it were zoysia already and overseeding in the spring? Or should i take a torch to it, till and overseed sections with my prefered type in spring time? I'm in Mississippi in zone 8b just so you know, thanks!!
Allyn, when you're digging up sprinklers, use a piece of cardboard to hold the dirt you dig up. You end up being able to put back exactly the amount of dirt you took out:)
I love your grooves
thank you! I like them alot too!
@@Thelawncarenut I can definitely hear that Chicago metro area vibes with some of your selections.
Y’all did the irrigation at The Freedom Factory!!
Allyn mate, donning that cap an eyeware me thought ya were lawn enforcement official! Haha! Brilliant content mate, go again! Just threw er down yesterday! Cheers mate be well!
hoorah! thrower down!
Domination zone has been etched!!
Dude - my St Aug is rough here in North TX. I threw er down like normal this year, but added 2 separate apps of the Summer Stress Blend after the smokin hot weather was over. Then for weed control I hit a blanket Image (safe for St Aug) app for nutsedge and also did pre-emergent same day. I think the Image did some DAMAGE or I burned it with too much N. Back that didn't get the extra fert or the Image is doing great. Cheers Al!
The stress blend has very little N so that would not be the issue. But Image, if sprayed when it's over 85F can do some pretty harsh stunting.
@@Thelawncarenut Yessir - afraid I got a little too aggressive. The Bermuda mixed up in there is NOT complaining...
Curious what does Cool Season grasses do in regards to sources/sinks I noticed KBG seems like it has one main root line.
Have some dead spots from when they placed the pool cage on the grass. Will this come back with time or do you recommend doing something to get the spots healthy again.
What’s best way to brush in worm casts. They’re making my lawn look so patchy.
Got a question for you ,moved to new place yard looks rough, son allergic to perennial grass, what can I plant to improve my yard that won't irritate his allergies
Allyn, can you lay St. Augustine sod down on very south FL, sandy soil, or do you recommend mixing topsoil?
I'm in so cal new to this grass thing I have san augustine and it's not green anymore and it's dying on me with brown spots I have a Gardner and he just cuts the grass what do I do first? Soil? Fertilizer? Feeder? Plz any info would help so I can do myself I don't know the difference between thses
Yippee ... the fert ban is over down here in Pinellas County! Milo is already down! I think I can hear it growing!
Great channel. I think if I lived next to you I’d plant dwarf Bermuda and mow it at 0.2”!!!
That would dominate for sure 👊🤘
Any thoughts about putting down lime on our southern lawns? Also thanks for helping the Freedom Factory. I'm right down the street from that track.
Nice! We don't typically need lime in Florida so you should he all good.
I have about a month until I turn my system off for the season yet I still watch beginning to end. Breaking news update from my neighbors and friends: they’re now all saying “THROWER DOWN” every time they apply fert. They even throw in a “smells like success” line too.
that's how it spreads! thanks bro!
The Lawn Care Nut anytime! Now that my seed has germinated, can I still apply the pre-emergent? Soil temps on Long Island, according to YM app are in the 60s. Thanks!
Hey Mr. Hane. I was hoping you could point me in the right direction of which sprinkler system to get.
The one in this video is good. I also have a Rachio I like.
What do I do with my soil samples tell me the soil is high in all three and copper to ?
St Augustine is looking bad.
In have THICK St. Augustine! JAX. I am tired of using a push mower to cut it. I have a Husquavarna 46 " basic lawn tractor. Even at its highest it scalps the lawn, looks like crap! Any suggestion for a mower I can ride and will cut it HIGH?
First Aussie 😁. Great to have contacts to help out , Al. 😎👍👍
Replacing a K-rain head with a Toro...Nice! Cool about the Freedom Factory I remember you Driving by the FF and shouting to Cleetus you could help him!!! Now looky how you all have dun grown upsies!!!!!! Along with your Toro home project you have to do the FF all donezee video as well!!!! Also are you going to do your annual fall lawn care Northern and Southern grasses or is it look back in the videos for all us LCN's or should I say wanna-be's...at least speaking for myself.
I believe hunter has 5in heads too, sorry I'm guessing there toros #1 competitor, but i got hunter PGP heads and there still original heads, just starting to have to replace them and from what i've found out is, that the system was put in in the 90s when they redid all the landscape. So they are durable, and still work when damaged, some I cant even adjust but still work
I agree they are great. You can get them at Lowes here too which is nice.
Where did you get the cutting head on the weed whacker!
The grass whisper😁
I am moving to fla but i hate that st augustine grass how many places have Zoysia avaliable in boca, delray area?
Please I have st agustine grass at the compound and now it’s filled with weeds , please what herbicide will you recommend from scott for me.( that will kill the weeds and not the grass )
What about St Aug that the bottom stolon's are dead?? Do I pull out the dead and sod over it?
What’s the name of the weed wacker attachment you used to clean the sprinkler donuts ?????!!
Ditto that ....
I'm having that problem with my St. Augustine grass, here in St. Augustine FL. You never said what to do. I have lot's of brown sinks and sources. What do I do? It's starting to thatch up.
Hey LCN love the vids, but i sort of miss the old soundtrack from the vids when you lived in St. Pete. hahahah
I like that music too ! I'll bring it back ina vid or two.
That looks like a beautiful area what town in Florida is that
Hey Alyne why wont you try to grow a tall fescue section in your lawn i pretty sure it can do well
It would probably do ok in winter but the summer humidity would burn it down in a few days
Loving the music big Al. Where’s it from?
I get it from Epidemic Sound. They have a great selection.
Can you show the rain curtain of the Toro heads. Looking at upgrading my heads for better performance. Thanks
Yes I'll do that in a future video. They come with some various nozzles too.
Thanks
Unrelated to vid, can one apply propiconazole after cutting without any problems, and will cutting spread dollar spot,??
Really enjoy the channel!!
You can yes and dollar spot doesn't typically spread by mowing.
really enjoy your channel, not only for the layout and information, but also a channel that gives responses, which to me makes all the difference!!
Those are some nice heads!
that's what she said 😂
The Lawn Care Nut 🤣👍
What is the name of the tool used at 8:41 to dig the soil?
What are those rings around the sprinkler heads?
Concrete donuts. They help to keep the St Aug from wrapping around the heads. They work marginally well but essentially make maintenance easier.
I meed to get a lil bubba to do the curb edges like yours. They look super nice
They are super cool and custom, easy to weed wack around too.
@@Thelawncarenut there's a guy here in north Texas that selling his whole business trailer with all the equipment (lil bubba included)$14k I don't count out the possibility of becoming a business owner. Can't find the little bubba for rent anywhere.
@@nestorlugo. yeah it's just a franchise thing only so you may see if there is a territory that comes with it. I do think it makes a great side hustle if you can advertise right. I paid $6 per linear foot for mine.
@@Thelawncarenut Ok, thanks for the info!
Does those donuts that are used for the sprinkler heads help support them. We’re can you get them.
They help keep the grass from taking over the irrigation head, especially with st aug. They are all over the box stores in FL.
Toro t5ps are what I run in MI
I am going to fit my entire system with them but they only gave me 5. I need to have them send me more lol
Throwin' down like a cowboy 🤠 😆
Hoorah 👊🤘
Wow what kind of hat is that. Looks like a Lawn officer lol just kidding really enjoy the videos thanks for posting such great info. Up north just about ready for my core aeration and overseed
I want
Hey man, by looking at your grass doesn't it seem that you have a serious case of thatch? you never made a video about dethatching. It something that you don't do?
I'm asking because my grass (kikuyu grass) also looks spongy so I bought a dethch rake, but when I tried to use it it just pulled all the grass and made a mess. How do you dethatch grass like St augustine, kikuyu, or any other that has stolons?
A addressed it on a video about 3 weeks ago where I have some disease issues. I also talked about it on the podcast
Rain drunk grass in Florida is their ~autumn color~
truth!
Hey Nut
I think I have Disease from the rain. Do you suggest to throw down? Even with the disease? I have already did the bulletproof.
If you already applied disease control you just need to wait it out until the damage grows out.
Thank you for the reply!! Thank you for the teaching
infected Ground! lol great choice
Glad you picked up on that! 👊
@@Thelawncarenut 👊
I was let down with the controller Toro used. My Rachio controller and smart app is so nice to have, control anything about my irrigation from anywhere. Not having a smart app for a phone in 2020 seems lacking.
there is no wifi at that side of the track which is why we had to go with this solution. Once they get wifi, this setup can be attached to the cloud and an app.
@@Thelawncarenut Good to hear. Not sure if I missed that in the video or not.
I didn't mention that part and I should have. All good !
What was that sprinkler head "donut" cutter? Never seen it and not in the description.
here you go ua-cam.com/video/wbMLx6A5KBw/v-deo.html
@@Thelawncarenut Thank you. I don't recall that linked video.
A hose clamp works great at securing those pop ups out their housing for service.
Does the TORO rep not know the difference between 'arc' and 'rotation'?
It's all moons and half noons to me, 🤘👊
I' ve lived in South Florida all my life and I've never heard of burying sprinkler heads. I have always kept mine trimmed and oprable all year round. Is there a reason someone would do that which I'm not aware of? Has my entire life been a lie?
Are you pulling water from the lake?
no it's city water, metered.
