Connor, I would like to personally thank you. Your videos that I have been following for 5 plus years have yielded me a lawn that is outstanding. I got the lawn down but I suffer on the flower side. Some content creators have changed their focus more on sales vs. just producing content for what's in their heart. I'm happy to say I'm now 100+ subs lighter which leaves me more time in the lawn. Money is evil, just remember that. Keep being you.
Agreed
Your lawn looks more uniform than my living room carpet, well done!
“A pleasure, a joy beyond measure”….. your my hero !!!!
I appreciate the appreciation and I appreciate your videos! I especially enjoy your live videos and any interaction with Sister Ward!
I just wanted to put this out there…I appreciate you and your videos as well. As soon as I see you post one, I have to watch it immediately. You are genuine, and you have a great sense of humor. Keep up the amazing work, and thanks for continuing to produce content that makes me and so many others happy.
Few takeaways from this video... great mullet, good ribbing from the neighbors and i am thinking the ice cream bar messed up the stripe game LOL!!!! No more eating ice cream then mowing!
We missed our turn going to our Airbnb and came across your property while you were out mowing. Had to stop and appreciate all your hard work! Your lawn is amazing!
Thank you good sir
Man I would love a lawn that looks as good as yours. I just came across your videos and now i'm showing my friends and watching what I can of yours!!!
Lawn is looking so good right now!
I appreciate you too! Thank you for always reminding me that this is fun, and to not be afraid to take risks.
I religiously watch one persons channel with every episode they release. Thank you for the entertainment Conner. I watch because of you!
Thank you
Nice work with the BBD Poison reference. That was a pleasant throwback.
ha ha.. right that took me back as well.
Nothing better then a fresh mow! Even with the issues it's still looking good sir.
I appreciate YOU...Connor. Have a good week buddy.
Thank you sir
Thank You for the time and effort you put into your videos.
Thank you for your comment
Can't be a Lawn Rebel if you ain't willing to burn some grass. It'll come back. Good stuff
Thanks for the lawn update Connor!
THANK YOU JEFF!.... couldn't do it without you! ❤
Learning from mistakes in the lawn is half the fun! 👍🏻
Best wishes from Germany. Keep your Head up and Look forward! Your Videos are much Fun to watch and helped me a lot in the past. Greetings Helge
Try using some charcoal in a spray form. It will clean up the soil from what ever was leached into it. We use it on the golf course for spill on the greens and other places where accidents have happened
We Appreciate you my friend thank you for all you film for us its awesome content!!!
I'm new to the lawn care scene and I can't tell if you're real or just a fictional you tube character. Either way, you're awesome and I can't get enough! 🍻
Real
Thanks Connor! Always enjoy watching your content...
Awesome video - sucks about the dead spots but I respect the fact you don’t freak out and lose it. I know I would!
Well I guess the tree got the last word. Lawn still looks great, with the landscape and flower beds giving it amazing curb appeal. I agree, cultivate, maybe mix in organic compost, seed and cover. Perhaps a backyard standby turf plot is in order for those unexpected accidents, poa invasion, etc. Idk. You'll figure it out.
Since I can't have a nice lawn (40 horses makes that almost impossible, I have nice pastures tho😂😂) I think I'll just live vicariously thru you lol
Just wanted to thank you for indirectly letting me know I had poa annua in my lawn. A while back I commented about being annoyed with bluegrass seed heads appearing in my lawn, and you said that you don't get them because you mow often enough. Well that got me thinking because I mow every 2-3 days, then realized what i was seeing wasn't kentucky bluegrass seed heads, it was poa! A right insane infestation of it! So this fall Im going to give it a good barrier of the pre-emergent and see what it does next year.
holly poop, it's time for a reno... this lawn is falling apart 👍😜
I think you should spray the dead patches with green die/paint
I enjoyed the update Connor. Interesting and fun to watch as usual 😁
Thanks for the content brother. Hope you and the family are doing well.
I'm sure you will work some magic and getting it back looking great :)
Don’t kid yourself Pal!!!!
The tree had it coming 🤣🤘🏼
I love how you’re just eating your ice cream like we’re not even watching.
Joy beyond measure…I see what you did there.
He's a poet and didn't know it!
Glad you get pleasure from your lawn, but really, I think lawns are just not good for our planet in areas where water is so scarce.. OK when they are in areas where we are living outside right next to them or for kids play area.
I am astonished at your devotion to that lawn though.
Love your work Connor!! Thank You!!
lawn looks good mate, don't be so tough on yourself.
You are awesome. Love the dedication. I get extreme satisfaction from my own efforts in lawn care. I experienced the same issue with death spots due to herbicide. It took the season to work through it as the patches taunted me all summer. Live and learn. Keep up the great work and fun videos. Keep rockin the stache!
I appreciate you Connor, you Rebel.
very nice job! I love watching your channel!
After tour lawn guide is released, would love a mulch bed guide too.
Lol. I'll get right on that
joy beyond measure
"My neighbor put in this mulch bed. It's so awesome....just looks...so so good" 😂😂
Time to move.... I know its getting tough to find another place but when you are like the Alamo, cant be enjoyable...
I detected so much sarcasm in that sentence.
Watched everyone of your videos this past three years, just haven’t decided if I want to hit that subscribe button yet lol
That's a good boy
I caught it too..."A pleasure...joy beyond measure!" SO FUNNY!!
If you know... You know
Looks like you've taken on the trees by the right of your driveway. I'm not a turf pro, but I'd suspect contaminated soil in the area might be the cause of your woes, I suspect you're right with the movement of imazapyr in the soil. I've heard Rey give recommendations of activated charcoal for issues like this in the soil.
Ded spot on LAWN. Could be oil from saw that stressed the area, and now with a littlie heat stress it became a problem... consider that. It has happened to me before.
I just snagged a California Trimmer reel mower for $75. Runs and cuts. Needs some tuning and sharpening. But my lawn is only 600 sq/ft
Connor, did you put a new reel on the Greensmaster when you purchased it? I have a 2010 1000 model that i also bought from a golf course a few ysars ago. Congressional Country Club actually. Kind of cool they used it to cut the tees during the US Open there. It needs a new reel now so im curious if youd bought one.
First Aussie 😁. Connor , as usual, keeping it reel. 😎👍☕️
Preemergent in spring and fall will take care of the poa. Those other light green patches honestly to me look like the creeping fescue patches I have in my backyard under the shade tree I have. Which i hate cause the mower never cuts em nice, but not much else will grow under their
Really enjoy your channel!! Thank you!!
Could you dig out an inch or two of soil on the brown spots, put in new soil, level, seed, etc.? I wonder if that will take out enough of the sterile soil?
Sounds like you want to debate me. How much work, and what’s its worth are subjective. Those few areas are not that large. A couple of inches of soil might fill CW’s Gorilla Cart 6 or 8 times. He’s filling in the trunk area to level it anyway, so get a yard or two extra of soil. There’s time left in the growing season to get a good stand of turf in those areas before winter. I would do it. Connor doesn’t seem afraid of hard work.
how about green lawn paint for those sterilization spots ?
you may need to remove soil in those sections and bring in new soil/mix to fill. Seed should germinate
Would be a good idea to aerate those dead areas after you powerrake and before you lay seed down.
"My part to conserve water..." Literally 10 steps down the yard, your background shows huge sprinklers going off in the distance. =D If only everyone helped conserve the water there in Utah!
🎯Lime the bad spots throw some new dirt down hit it was starting fertilizer before and after fresh dirt. 🤞
I have a yard of shame. My garden, which we didn't plant, is overgrown with weeds, and my entire 1/4 acre is riddled with dandelion and a whole corner is overrun with creeping charlie AND thistle (which is also in the garden!). I'm hoping to get something down this week in hopes to get rid of most of it in time to overseed this fall. The last few years with a newborn and young toddler have made it impossible for me to fix anything.
Cant wait to see some new seedlings
Hey Conner, quick question...
if you were planning to take the tree out anyway, was poisoning it (and inadvertently your lawn as well) necessary? Just curious. Love your content and what you bring to UA-cam. Keep up the good work!
yes.. this tree is evil and I did not want the roots coming back. This tree was never planted. It came up from a sucker.
what kind of seed are you going to use and where are you going to get it
You have turned me on to starting my only yard renovation. I wanna get rid of my Kentucky 31 and do all ryegrass but was wondering what is a good ryegrass seed to get? Thank you for ALL the videos, tips, tricks and lawn updates you do! Keep up the awesome video editing you do and until next time ✌🏻
I like the 5 iron blend from united seeds. That's what I use
Thank you sir 🇺🇸🤘🏻
Hey Conner!!!!......maybe try lawn paint on them dead spots
Super juice 🤣
The Imazapyr was absorbed by the tree and was in the tree sap. During the process of cutting the tree down, tree sap from the chainsaw chain/oil was spread on to the lawn.
This is a way better explanation.
What is the difference from cutting off over 1/3 of the length in one cutting and doing it over a few days. If it’s growing well then it just grow out all the same? Getting ready to resow my lawn and it looks like it’s going to be wet for the next few days.
What about edging the mulch bed along your side with armour stone?
Hey Connor, I was wondering what type of grass you have? I saw in one of your videos that you're in Utah, which is where I am also. I have been trying to decide what type of grass mix I want and figured I'd see what you have? Thanks!
So jealous. Looks like an amazing place to raise a family
I just installed sureloc aluminum edging to separate the limestone 2a/limestone dust pathway into my shed, from the mulch bed. Works pretty well so far. Maybe try it on your side of the neighbors mulch bed. Also have you tried putting down late apps of preemergent to stop poa from germinating. Though I read somewhere that was a way to stop poa.
I need to install this edging.
@@lawnrebel The hard part is finding a place that will sell single pieces. Luckily I have a distributor right down the road who sells singles. Each piece is 15’ long and 4” tall and comes with a connector and 4-5 stakes. It can also easily be curved. I paid $41 per 15 footer out the door.
How do you get the line pattern? Is there a special add on for mowers that gives the real pronounced lines? When I mow I get a slight line but it’s never like yours, like baseball/ football field level
Maybe plant a boxwood hedge to keep the neighbors mulch in place. Also nice 'n green :-)
@Bradford Pear why not? If cold season grass survives? 🤷♂️
Maybe pull some sod strips from the edge you are about to seed and fill in the dead spots?
Love your content but I need to know what hair products you use😬
Love the hair and mustache
What an absolute legend.
Love your content. Always have something entertaining. Cheers dude
Nice poa. :-( I feel for ya, pal!! Mine is way worse and want to start over bad but it's late and we have a dog which makes it tough. Oh well, your lawn's looking great!
If you mow the poa Areas, Maybe Collect the gras… otherwise you spread it over the whole lawn
I think (but check with Jeff) you're supposed to fold the paper strips in half and cut them. Sharp will cut thru two layers, you'll see it dull if it cuts one but bends the other.
Yes. I'm pretty sure you're correct
I had a mix of dahlia bulbs, all unlabeled. One grew to about 5’ but I’m losing stems and flowers as they’re snapping. Any tips to stake these suckers? Do I need a stake for every stem? Thanks
Connor. I’m buying a new spreader. Should I go back with a new Lesco#80 or the spyker #80? I have a Lesco now but need new
Connor love your videos and have been working on my lawn, but I would really like to get into dalias too. Have you done any vids to get people started with dalias?
What type of grass do you have? Is this Kentucky Bluegrass?
Aerate...take top1-2" off the soil...replace with new soil enrich with nutrients, cultivate into current soil, pack/level and then see....grass will bounce back quicker.... all kinds of ways to fix "atta boys" :) good luck !
I see you move your plantar boxes when you mow, how does that not damage the grass?
Thank you for another great upload!
You need an one of those wide Allett reels
Another superb video, THANKS!
I thought you were getting your curls on.
Thanks for the great content my friend keep it up!
The one thing I know is that Mr. Ward will not have those dead spots for very long.
Love that hat !!!!
Anytime you keep your yard as short as you do disease and funguses are an issue waiting to happen. They love short grass, especially ultra short like yours. Let it get a little higher through the middle of the summer and I think you’d see improvements for sure. Then you can always go back to the half inch in the fall and spring.
Treat those areas with activated charcoal to bind up any remaining chemicals
maybe i’m an idiot. probably. but what’s ACTIVATED charcoal?
@@poisonousnut it's processed at very high heat. This changes its structure allowing for more surface area. It has a very high Cation Exchange Capacity. This means that it can grab on to chemicals and odors and keep them sequestered.
Have you considered a fall pre-emergent to deal with the poa-a?
He does (tenacity)
@@clipseo tenacity is not great as a pre-emergent when you're not seeding. I was thinking of something that you would put down in the spring for crabgrass
Just when it started looking amazing again...
might be a silly question, but are you still applying pgr? I don't think I've heard you talk about it in awhile.
I did one time this year. I need to again. I don't like to use or talk about chems on camera. Brings out the worst in people
@@lawnrebel oh I get it! I avoid talking about electrical in my videos because of the same reason and I do it for a living.😂 I was under the impression that when using pgr you want to keep using it throughout the year. this is my first year using it and I was going to ask what you do when you start developing problem areas like those dead spots you have or when you do your over seeding. I've got my notorious heat stress area that I get every year ( even before reel mowing). was just curious to pick your brain a bit.👍🏻
