120 degrees where I live. I scalped the Bermuda and leveled with sand. The Bermuda loves it. Came back greener in 2 weeks.
Yes Bermuda is a much different story than what we have up north. Perfect time for what you did with yours.
Vegas?

@@jmacc4473 Does your Bermuda go dormant in the colder weather where you live?
.. 120 degrees .. you live in Death Valley 💀
We want more videos like this!!
Western NY I scalped my Rye grass lawn August 13th, 85 degrees, then I fed it Milorganite. We got drenching rain every day leftover hurricane and in 5 days my lawn is looking fairway quality again
Just had a home built on a little over two acres, would love to see videos on the tools used for such large projects and lessons learned!
The key is being able to put down large quantities of water, whether it's after a scalp, or just in general.
Mid Atlantic area has been crazy this year. During a wet Spring and early June had thick, lush fescue mowing every 3-4 days. Now it’s been very hot and dry, my last mow was 4 weeks ago and much of my lawn is dormant. It’s been at least 5 years since my lawn has browned in the summer. At least the pre-emergent I put down has kept the weeds at bay.
I'm still having to mow twice a week in Kansas. It's been in the mid 80s with solid rain every few days. I need a break. Lol
I noticed a lot of seed heads as well in my new lawn. Even though I mow it at 5/8" to 3/4. They still hang around. Only brown in my lawn. Since I couldn't go any lower I found verticutting and/or grooming helped a lot. I've been doing it about every 2 weeks. I also think it helps with air flow to prevent fungus and the lawn from feeling sticky when it's hot and humid
Where's that Lawn Rebel guy with his big fairway mower? He could've helped out😂
He works a day job and runs a garbage business on the side. When he gets home from work he does dumpster runs. In the last couple years the business has taken off for him. Has been difficult for him to make videos with the limited time. Last year he also messed his shoulder up bad so probably not ideal for making videos too.
Great video. Triple S! Short, sweet, and science. Thank you.
Thanks for all the science related to it. Great channel Ryan!
Glad you posted something, starting to worry about you. Keep on keepin on. Enjoy the mow. 😊
Geeze! That is looking great, RK!
Rain is always the answer🤣. Coming back strong it looks like
Thinking about doing a total renovation and going straight perennial rye in my cool season lawn. I’m just obsessed with the color and I currently have a test plot that is doing really well but imo it’s a bit more maintenance than whatever mix I have in the lawn now but I think it’s worth it.
It's worth it in my opinion
I think you just explained what those brown stems are in my lawn. I have mostly green but there are some areas where I have patches of stiff, tan stems among the green. Thanks for the video.
First Aussie 🧐. Ryan , another great explanation video. You definitely like a challenge in some of the things that you do . Enjoying your videos mate . 😎
I've started doing this every year after the May funk starts to wear off. A verticut to open the canopy up and get rid of some of the old tissue.
Of course i learned these techniques from years of watching ryan.
Scalp anxiety is real. I scalped my back yard this spring, dethatched did some leveling and overseeding and for about 2 weeks it looked pretty rough but it looks great now.
I had robust dialogue with UA-camr Greg Phillips I think is his name. He said never ever, some of us know. Looks great ryan !
I noticed the same thing on my Tall Fescue 1st year. I hoping next year it will be more mature and have less seed shoots.
You are definitely the lawn god
Im going to use your seed the fireball i tried this year was not good !! Thanks for posting your an inspiration for my channel thanks !!!!
What issues did you have?
@@ryanknorrlawncare its not doing well in ohio , i usually have very good luck but its very light in color and i cant keep it green
Dang man my dream to have a large property to test out different varieties of grass and plants!
Thanks for sharing i was thinking of doing a dethatch and possible verdicut on my lawn. But was sure do the high heat we been experiencing thank for th continued content
Thanks for the video! I hope Ernie is still doing OK...❤
Not so good the last couple days so we'll see if he bounces back again
I'm so sad to hear that. He is a tough little bugger, huh? 😪

Are you planning on adding any curves, trees, shrubs, flowerbeds, etc?
Ryan I,ve seen some videos about peremergening grass seed in water before planting. What are your thought ?
Best seed for northern WI with pretty much no sun (in between 2..two story houses, maybe 12 feet wide? Thank you. Love your channel.
Mid-90s in your area today. Maybe it's cooler away from the city. I hope all stays well.
If we can get some rain tonight that should help otherwise I'll be getting the sprinkler out soon!
Ryan is a bad 4ss!
The legend
How are the plots looking!?
if I am cutting my grass at 4 inches and i have seed stalks how low should I scalp it?
2 inches
3 in would be fine
@shaunray6660 2" at one time is to much?
It looks GREAT. Mine is a light green in color and my two neighbors have a beautiful dark green lawn. Should I be applying something during this summer season ?
Lots of variables so it's hard to say if they're the exact same grass types etc
I'm going to start telling every science teacher I know that they should be teaching stuff like this in school! #doingitforscience
If only this was what we learned in school 😂
I do it a couple of times in the summer. 2 weeks later its back to green and back to the height I want it.
I'm about to do a fescue plot that needs it
@@ryanknorrlawncare I wish Rye would survive here in Texas year round, its really a superior grass.
@@ryanknorrlawncare Ooooh, I've got TTTF and need to see these results!
I put down a bag of Scotts sun and shade this year not knowing it was a mixture of Bermuda, fescue, and rye. I have clumps of Bermuda now and I didn’t want that. Am I screwed?
This is not the video I wanted to see after deciding to Reno my TTTF to Rye next month lol.
What don't you like about your Turf type tall fescue? I have a 50/50 Kentucky Blue / perennial ryegrass lawn that I'm thinking about overseeding with tttf next month.
@@blaiseducdaumont1280 for me, its not the darkest green (more of a emerald green super turf II) I have a different type of TTTF in my backyard that gets dark (SnapBack) and I want to mow low and was considering going this route. But Rye seems to be the darkest next to KBG and gives me the option to mow as low as I want, so I’m going to experiment with Rye this time around.
How do you water such a HUGE lawn?
@@yannip2083 move a sprinkler around and I have a well
@@ryanknorrlawncare Smart idea 👍
Ryan, have you heard of Irrigreen underground sprinklers? I need to replace the system I have, and it's 1/3 acre.
You're gonna have a US Open style fairway with the upcoming heat
I will be moving sprinklers
Nice grass😁
Looks great.
Do you think scalping will help with disease also?? Dry it out?
Lower grass usually helps a little with things drying out at the base but scalping can add some stress so that's a factor too
@ryanknorrlawncare I know man. Who woulda thunk the more you take care of your lawn the more you need to continue to take care of your lawn.
@@justthetipsgolf that's absolutely right!
You should keep it short in the fall. Looks great shorter then it was.
Don't have a mower for that
Hello Ryan, I seem to be experiencing same phenomenon here in Denver on my plot of 100% rye. Could the browning also be due to excessive thickening or thatch building up? My area is now in third season. Time for scarifier ? Or scalp?
Question... Is your property limited to the narrow strip that your house sits on and what's in front of it or do you also own the side parcels with the trees and hills??? I know you showed an overview when you first bought it but I can't remember the layout!?!?
We have 40 acres. Most is behind the house
I don’t get it- you said you did the seeding in late September of last year, did that give the grass enough time to germinate and develop solid roots for winter? I’m torn between starting my aeration / overseed last week of August (to give new grass more time to mature before winter) or wait until highs are mid 70s… which can be as late as mid to late September. In MN, We will probably have frost by mid Oct. what’s the secret with this timing?
If you have water I start in August when I can. This was late due to just not having enough time to get everything done and I was waiting for the drought to end but it never did so I had to water basically by hand to get it going
Meanwhile my fescue with prolonged 100-110 degrees, aka the last 3 weeks and projected future and no rain this year at all. Tall fescue is STRUGGLING, yes I’m watering but got blue grass mixed in unfortunately, and it doesn’t like it without an insane amount of water
My fescue still needs water. It may do a little better but not a miracle plant haha
@@ryanknorrlawncare I wish it was sometimes 😂 I’m just gonna have to do a reno this fall or spring, I’m on a good slope about 8-10° so I know that’s not helping and direct sunlight for pretty much the entire day, it don’t like it at all
I feel like you got lucky - albeit good results. Would it be less risky to just wait until fall, or simply start your season off by cutting it low?
Definitely not the first time I've done this. If you water sufficiently it works very well
Whats your strategy to keep poa out moving forward?
We don't have any major poa issues around here that I've seen.
I have basically mix of everything in my lawn but its mostly tttf. Cuz thats what i use. To. Seed every year but i have a little spot of rye i think is just always like a brown stem with a little green on top im guessing its p rye but idk. Do you know if this is a characteristic of rye or another grass. I mow 3-4 inches all year.
Its literally a 3 .5 in brown stem with like .5 inch of green on top. All the time
Maybe but there's a lot of variables so it's hard to say for sure
Would this process work with TTTF as well? I did a partial renovation last fall and had lots of seed heads and stalks in late spring. Lots of browning in the yard now despite sufficient watering.
I've done similar scalps on Fescue
I've been destroyed by poa yet again. I use pre-emergent in mid August and again in mid-September yet here I am again. What can I do?
I'm not aware of anything that would fix it 100%
Ryan do seedheads and stalks come back every spring or just the first spring after an overseed?
Every year but gets better with time on rye. My original plots had no issues this year
Can you scalp tall fescue when it’s hot , I’m in Maryland
If you're ok with the risk then you can do anything and help recover with water but make sure to let it dry out before evening
Would you advise doing this on Tall Fescue?
Does a similar thing from my experience but bounce back maybe isn't quite as quick as the rye
My back yard is 100% RK PRG. I keep having areas that turn brown and pull up easy. Can’t see any grubs or insects. I think it might be shallow roots and then dying from the heat. But I water enough. Any thoughts?
I had similar issues due to soil compaction. Was watering plenty but the soil was mostly repelling the water and it was just running off. Core aeration is ideal, but difficult in the summer in some areas. Check your soil 'hardness' with a depth probe (a long phillips-head screwdriver or an actual soil core probe). If the probe doesn't go in easily you have a compaction problem. Soil looseners like Ryans (or just baby shampoo at a rate of about 4oz per thousand) can help, but you may have to ride it out until fall when you can do a proper core aeration.
Appreciate it. That’s what I suspected. I have a handheld core aerator from HD. I know a few spots it’s rock hard like 3” down. Other areas that have browned up the aerator goes in all the way. 🤷♂️ I have Air8 and plan on hiring a core aerator in fall. Until then I’m just hand aerating and watering plus applying Air8. I hit a rock on one spot that’s like 2.5” down. Not sure how I missed this when renovating. 😒🤦♂️
Hi Ryan! I am in Buford Georgia and it is hot hot and dry what type of grass do you recommend in an all shady area on the side of my house? Any ideas? My whole lawn is absolutely beautiful except the shady area along the side of my house! Thank you!!
Fine fescue
Tahoma 31 bermuda
Some forms of zoysia are shade tolerant but I'm not familiar enough with them to know which ones for sure
