What if we are also looking to top dress a bumpy lawn at the same time with sand. Before, during, after this process? Or not at all until next year? Think this well help other subscribers. Thanks!
Hey Allen Hayne or Jake, question if I have starter fert for bermuda to put down now, how many lbs would you recommend I put down per 1000sq ft before going dormant? It's Pennington starter 18-24-06
I live in Michigan, when should I aerate? I'd read some articles where people say to aerate ONLY in the fall, and then others that say to do it both in the spring and summer. What are your thoughts? Below is a statement from an article I was reading.
While some companies will recommend aeration in both spring and fall, for most lawns in the neighborhoods we service, we generally recommend a single round of aeration done in the fall. While there are some benefits to spring aeration, there are also some drawbacks. In spring, weeds are just beginning to proliferate. By aerating in the spring, you are creating space for your lawn’s root system to expand, but you are also clearing spots where unwanted weeds can slip in as well

OK buddy, thanks A LOT. I went nut like you. Went to the depot, rent me a professional aerator, bought several bags of milo and Scott's seeds. I threw her down like there's no tomorrow. So far I have gotten 17k steps. Completed the job in 3 hours. Returned the aerator back to the depot. Really heavy putting back on the bed of the truck. My wife almost threw her back. But luckily I had a 4x4 that helped as a bridge. Word of advice for everyone, buy two 2x6 x 8 feet and use as bridge to your truck. This thing is a beast. But LCN, said all that, I have saved money doing myself. Thanks for the video.
2 years late to the party but this video and all the others I've watch since have inspired and taught me how to fix up my neglected yard. Thank you!
Love this guy’s videos. I’m a first time homeowner and I’ve learned so much! And he also seems like just a down to earth, good person.
Jake knows his math, his lawn care, and his music!
Hey, love your you tube content , app, and products.
Your Black Beauty grass seed is the best seed ever! Your ferts and weed prevention are the best out there!!
Thank you !
Man, been following you since the early early days. Like when you were in the hundreds of followers. I loved that you called my lawn “a little postage stamp lawn” when I described living in Chicago next to the burbs! I’m next to Naperville now so you know right where im at. Thanks for all the great years of content. Could it be like 15 years already?
Diggin' these collaborations! Can't wait to see how the project lawn turns out.
Just finished doing the LCN fall resto program today. Even missed the Pats game to throw ‘er down!!!!
Thanks LCN!
savage!!!!!
I figured you guys was in the Lansing area! That's dope an inspiring for my lawn
Nice to see Jake has knowledge about 80's pop culture.
he's an old soul for sure
Love the classic 80's R&B funk soundtrack!
Hey, I like that you had that issue. It help us avoid it. I like this video a lot.
That aerator pulled some great hole's. Good info.
Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid back together again!! Love it!
“The best way to control weeds is to cultivate GRASS”. Lov3 this guy!
Thank you 🙏 best explanation so far on what to do with a dying lawn 💯💯
My grass looks awesome. Thanks so much. I still have a few weeds but I know the tips you guys provide will help big time! Keep up the great work. ❤️❤️
Best thing I learned from Pete is how to gut a bag into a spreader
Throw'er Down and Hope for the Best! I did and now I have the best lawn on my block lol 😆
Yep, right on! Fearless Leader. August? Now. 🧐
Allan I'd loved to see a video about. What to do about grass not growing well next to an asphalt driveway?
You guys are pretty damn funny together. Keep after it man, love your channel, learning a ton from you. I run a lawn care business, Any thoughts on a Turf Tracer 36" for a solo guy as a main mower? I have a 21" honda & echo stick equipment/blower.
Never seen you use or talk about top dressing with compost blend ? Isn't it one of the best things for new seed ?
Never add compost as most contain some weed seeds. Leave a bag out for a month with a small hole in it and watch the weeds grow out of the bag.
@@Ossamakilla You need better compost.
@@allandonald6248 ehhh they all have some weed seeds. That's a big reason you'll never see compost or straw on site at a golf course.
Milorganite is now $15.99/bag up her in Canton, GA.... We spread the word on this great product, we buy it up, they almost doubled the price! Hope this stopped the high taxes on toilet flushers in Milwaukee. 😂😂😂😂
Something that you could remind people and emphasize on is that sometimes you might want to get Miss Utility out there to Mark the property to make sure that you don't hit any unforeseen lines in the ground and also Mark sprinkler systems and invisible fence systems.
The tines on an aerator are no more than 2.5" long. Wires are buried 6" in the ground.
@@fr3shSwag sometimes homeowner ad things like wires or invisible fence wires and sometimes they're not buried to code. Same thing goes for sprinklers.
Good video Allyn , the process seems to be progressing well, Allyn and Jake the new age Abbot and Costello.😁👍👍
I learned a little trick that really works well for me if anyone wants to try, I put 1/4 of the grass seed down before I aerate then put the rest down after I aerate...works amazing for me
Problem with that is every seed that gets hit by plugger gets broken. Once broken, it wont germinate so id think 2x b4 doing that again. I seed very last so that my plugger, fertilizer, and lime passes dont crush seed.
I heard about this technique before and I just tried it today on a customers lawn. Hopefully it works.
That is the most you worked in a lawn all year 🤣. Also, this is the absolute best content you put out all season to date. Must be your passion of cool season turf care👍. Excellent video!
Lee, OMG! Please don’t think I’m patronising you when I say this, you pal are one of the most honest professional gardeners that I have watched, even though you’re coming up on your 70th birthday!
😂😂😂only joking Lee
Your brilliant son👍
I love that Milorganite shirt!
Have you been talking to my wife??? "Get on, get off"!!!! 😂😂😂
I am sweating my lawn Reno really bad. This weekend was shot to hell by rain and work. What is the absolute latest I can seed and be sure to get my grass established before the frost in northern New Jersey? And watching you two together in videos is priceless!
me too in southern Nebraska, similar latitude. I think this is our last week.
Hahah jake with the 80's reference! nice
It felt so much more real when they used milo.
I'm glad you can laugh at yourself, after missing the obvious. Lol
I love makinig tootsie rolls in the lawn.
I just aerated my lawn yesterday. Went to the home depot and rented the pro model. What a difference. The pro model has a drum on the front that is driven even when the wheels are down. Makes it a lot easier to move around when it's not on the lawn. It also steers and turns a lot easier on the lawn.
must have been a Ryan. Our store only had these - but for sure the Ryan is a much better unit
Hane, we need an LCN music playlist to get us through the winter. Hop to it!
He should sell CD's or whatever the kids use nowadays. Lawn Jamz 2018 -or- NOW, That's What I Call Green Volume 1.
I have 5 bags of Milo and need 7 to finish out the year. I can't find it anywhere. This stuff is like gold. Next year I'm buying enough for the whole year lol. Wife calls me crazy. Wait till she sees me throwing it down lol
Indiana license plate on that car in the driveway! Hello, fellow Hoosier!!!
After a long day of work...the tears for fears 80s song reference had me grinning...good job fellas, I like that pro spreader!
Just threw down some Milo last weekend and then started the bio stimulant products tonight. Very excited to see what comes of it.
spray and pray bro!
wasn't a fan of the ortho spray dialer. would rather use a sprayer instead. less mess. will be looking for a sprayer for the next application. *ahem* got any extra I can use for a 5000 sq ft yard? *ahem* great videos form all of you: LCN, Ryan Knorr, Connor Ward, etc. Thanks for doing what you do. Wouldn't have yard I have without it.
Is there a website where I can get a list of the calculations used in this video? Or an online calculator?
Thanks LCN!
Pete? Are you referring to GCI turf Pete? He opens bags like a champ. I like Pete. Seem like a great guy. Good attitude. Have you guys done anything together?
Nice video, should i water before aeration to loosen up the soil?
I have 2 acres, you can do what ever you want to to my land as a project. It doesn't look like a ⛳ but I'm trying! If I pole that many holes in yard, the ground critters will be Really confused.
I tried spreading seed on top and hoards of finches spend several days husking the seeds. Leaving behind dead empty seeds.
I MUST use a verticutter to bury the seedlings in soil to prevent th lil bastids from eating them!
They ate 50lbs of seed in a week! That's $80 of high priced bird food!!
Well I followed this and amazing results. If I could attach a picture I would.
Alan,
When is the best time of year to do this?
I am in the cooler grass area....NW Indiana area.....
Thanks
Hi. My lawn has a 20ft by 20ft spot that is very dry as it is full sun and highest spot on the lawn. I am able to easily get down to about 2-3in and then it’s hard and possibly clay. Grass dies by end of summer unless i water everyday. My plan ... put down Liquid Aerating Soil Loosener- Aerator Soil Conditioner to make soil softer, core aerate, overseed and top dress with soil 1 week after, then right after core aeration add milorganite mixed with The Andersons Organic Humic DG. Thoughts?
Thank you! This video is a great help. I'm finishing the first summer in my new home (new construction) and my lawn is not where I wanted it to be.
My plan is as follows:
1) Aerate (the fill in this development is VERY sandy - many of us moving into the development aren't happy)
2) Put down 25LB (I have 13k sqft of lawn) of SS5000 Sunny Mixture
3) I have a half bag of Sulfate of Potash, put that down (should I get another and do 1.5 bags?)
4) Put down Milorganite
5) Water like its my job
6) Enjoy my lawn next year?
Any concerns or tips?
For some background, I did the following this year:
1) Late April - 2 bags of Pre-M 0-0-8 and GrubEx (1 big bag, 1 small bag)
2) Early May - 1.5 bags of Sulfate of Potash, 2 bags of Milorganite
3) June - 1.5 bags of Sulfate of Potash
Fall Is a great time to get it under control. Congrats on your new house too !
I saw Santoris and new you were on Ridge Road in Lansing. :)
Finally get to hear the rest of Cleetus’ music lol.
great video guys! I see you didn't use any cover after the overseeding? should be fine correct? I have 20k of lawn and would never bags and bags of peat moss but from watching this video I should be fine without?
That music, all I can think about is the end of a Cleetus McFarland video. You doin' it for Dale?
Another great video LCN/JTLK! I am wondering, how did y'all tackle the irrigation? Was there a pre-existing system in place?
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽....love the bump music too 💯💯💯
Hey great work on the lawns I had a quick question for you so it's the last weekend of September I dethatch the lawn aerated the lawn then over top of the lawn I added a three mix which is topsoil peat moss and mushroom fertilizer. I had grubs in the lawn so I added a grub killer which have to be watered in after I watered it the three mix got wet and I couldn't rake it underneath the grass is this going to cause my grass to die or will it come back to life with a top soil mix on top of it
It will be fine but stay away from peat Moss on your grass it's acidic you want your soil ph around 6.0- 7.0 ....put lime pellets down raises the ph in the soil ......grass seed I recommend rye grass and Kentucky bluegrass midnight granite or wildhorse kbg or last you live in deep south then you'll have to go with tall fescue kentucky 31
Looking good guys,Throw'er Down love it 👍👍
This is the first time I've ever subscribed to videos on UA-cam and have been hooked. Neighbors think I'm absolutely crazy but I love it ! This is going to be a super noob question but what do you do with the plugs? Also everyone is sold out of milorganite what do I do? :( Thanks for the great videos!!
You leave the plugs on the grass. They'll degrade.
I have a very similar situation to this. I bought a new construction home in the spring and its my first home so I'm not really knowledgeable on lawn care but I am willing and eager to learn. My lot is ~6000 sqft and a lot of it looks like the front area of this house. I'm in PA Philly area so temps are already down and I think I'm probably too late to do much this Fall. This video series was already so helpful and motivating but it has also raised more questions for me. Should I aerate the soil and use a traditional spreader like you guys did or should I use a slit seeder to overseed or should I use both? Is it too late in the game to do anything this year? Should I wait until next Fall to do this or should I start in the Spring? I feel there are so many questions and I just need a little help to get started.
I am brand new to the lawn care game and I have recently subscribed and watched a ton of your videos. I dethatched and hand areated yesterday( by the way I will never make that idiotic mistake again) and am now ready to overseed. I am using the Scott's 3-IN-1 sun & shade which contains 9% nitrogen. I want to know if it's possible to put put down Milorganite as well with this Scott's mix?
LCN, should we mark our sprinkler heads before aerating to avoid damaging them? Thanks for your tips.
Hey Allyn, it's ALAYMAN from the old FFF, I was just looking to aerate and overseed my rock hard clay compacted southern Ohio 2 acre yard and looking online for some tips when I came across your video. Enjoyed your down to earth style and seeing you working with your family!
In this video you two aerated the lawn extensively with corks pulled out all over. My question is what if I also plan to level out the lawn with fine sand and top soil mix this year, what should the timing like between aeration/over seeding and leveling?
Should I aerate and seed first this Fall then try to level a month later after the lawn has grown? Or do one of the two this year and the other in Spring? Thank you.
I have been enjoying all of your videos, I’m in east Texas could I follow the same protocol with over seeding with centipede seeds??
Great lawn I did following you. But I didn’t research watering and I got fungus. Ok fixed but now I fixed wholes with turf builder manure etc. now question? Fertilize with organize now then reseed wait a week later then reseed. . All is cut and ready to go. Which to do first? Fertilize it seed? I think fertilize . Answer us:?????? Sandee
What do I do with my lawn that is 80% zoysia grass and roughly 20% bermuda? They only do plugs and sod for zoysia to my knowledge. So can't overseed. Still aerate? How do I get rid of the Bermuda? I haven't seen much if any videos or emails on zoysia grass. Thanks!
Thanks to you I've been getting compliments on my lawn and especially with the stripes. I had a few outdoor parties at my house this summer and quests loved the looks of my lawn. One even said that I hire professionals and I proudly said "nope I do it myself!" Any recommendation on affordable grass seed? I've been using scotts kentucky blue grass seed and they are expensive! I'm here in Illinois.
Nice work ! Fir grass seed, store bought stuff is the cheapest usually. You can see if larger 50lb bags are cheaper by the pound at your local garden center maybe.
How do you stripe I have a exmark 48in but don't know how to stripe
I knew you would eventually dominate that silly core aerator. Jake needs to accept all liability and blame while filming. Poke more holes could be a new t-shirt for you. Jake is amazing that he even knew of Tears For Fears. There is an old soul in his young body.
I was gonna say never had a problem mowing, actually the mower pushes the seed down for betters contact after an aeration.
After 20 years of fertilizing first and then accidentally have my mowing crew show up and cut it with a high vacuum lawnmower we never opened the hopper and found the 50lbs bag of fertilizer , no joke not even one single piece in the hopper
Thanks for all the great information. I'm in Ga and I'm overseeing bermuda this spring. Would you still use Milo and 10-10-10? I'm only asking because this video is a few years ago.
Hey Allen, I got the stimulant pack today and it had 2 stickers in it. One was the pink flamingo. Are those weatherproof? Can they go on the truck?
Hi LCN! Big fan bought several products from your site for my lawn seeding project this fall and loving the results. One question. I covered the seed with EZ straw (mistake?) My pure beautiful superseed has been invaded with what I think is wheat growing. How do I get rid of these little bastards?
Can we do this in Wichita Ks now or should we wait?
9:11 is that a Connor Ward impression? Very good! Thrower down!
I never saw the end product of this project lawn...in this video its looking much like a lawn that I seeded on June 1st up here in South Dakota. Where can I view the end result video??
Here in VA, we'll need to wait until the hurricane passes before seeding? I (obviously) missed seeding last week. What's the seeding effect on a saturated (ie post hurricane) ground?
Haha, sowing the seeds of love, too funny! Great video!!
Teamwork makes the dream work! Another informative and entertaining video. Great job guys!!
Stupid question but can I use a thatch rake, use a liquid aeration, over seed and use fertilizer all the in same day or do I need to stretch it all out? Thanks!
Odd question i was doing some read about a place in maine that picked up waste from a treatment plant used it i there fields and now a bad chemical is showing in the cows milk . Wonder what they are going to find in this fertiler
So, if your going to put fertilizer down for the winter, I take it you're using high phosphorus to feed the roots cause you don't want extra nitrogen in the winter?
Fun video, love the collaboration, good intel
Great job you and Jake make a good team and Allyn how are things at home storm do any damage?
Should I water the grass the night before I aerate it?
I did all of this over over Labor Day weekend (Saturday). It has been a little over a week and my existing grass is very tall even though I mowed short before. Should I still try to wait 3 weeks to mow or mow early? Some of my new grass is already 2+ inches also.
That place will look like Augusta in no time.
Love the sprinkler ending! Reminds me of the bellagio In Vegas! Lol
Can you use the aerator if you have a rocky soil??
Sweet vid! LOVE the teamwork! LOVE the project! You guys rock!
Great job LCN ! One question though... would it be necessary to drop hay on the seed so the birds won't interfere ? Thanks - First Tim Rookie :)
No
Just Carry a 22
@@jonboyi8523 Tried.... damn bird society :(
My lawn is too full. No over seed for me this year. De-thatch, aerate, and milo for me.
Fall Aeration vs De-Thatching/Scarifying? I bought the Sunjoe De-Thatcher/Scarifier this season and used it instead of core aeriation. The Sunjoe really picked up a lot of debris and was rather impressed with the end results. Obviously the Sunjoe does NOT do the same physical/mechanical job of a core aerator. My question is this..can one use a De-Thatcher/Scarifier instead of a core aerator? What are the Pros/Cons of this?
Any benefit to using a slice seeder over coring and spreading?
I know you mentioned not worrying about killing off the weeds, but what about mature crabgrass? I have mature crabgrass with tons of seeds. Would aeration worsen the problem by sending the seeds into the dirt? Should I just skip aeration and overseed (TTTF) on established lawn? Thanks in advance and thank you for the videos!
if you have mature crabgrass you will have a problem next year no matter what - but you can control that with pre-emergents in spring. If you have bad crabgrass it just means you may need to poke more holes - or cut it down lower in those sections.
I'm in Sacramento California. When would you recommend starting the fall prep for my lawn?. Its Tall Fescue...Thanks! Love your channel.
Now. I live in Modesto
