This video also helped me overseed this fall. I overseeded mid October 2020 and 1 month later my yard looks awesome. By mid December 2020 my yard is greener and fuller than all my neighbors. I followed all the steps except aerating because my lawn was pretty moist. Thank you brah!
Going through the LW archives and came across this gem. Great video!
Which grass seed did you use
How do you get rid of ants all over the lawn, and very grainy soil?
@@deniseshelton2096 I would love to know this as well. Did you ever find out?
Lol
“I’m kind of an expert when it comes to three inches.” 😂
That's what my wife tells me daily......
First time seeing one of his videos and I'll be watching more because of that line.
I was like.. wait hold up 🤔
I was gonna say it hahahaba
These 3” ain’t no joke!
"Get it wet, keep it wet, but don't put it away wet." ...... That's what she said! 🤣
5:02 yells out "car" like he's playing Road Hockey - instantly liked this video
Spot on my guy. I work for a lawn care company and you do everything perfectly. Much respect. Love your lawn.
The puns and hidden humor made this so awesome to watch
Touché, sir. Well done!
Simple, concise and to the point.
I love your videos. Your instructions are so clear, helpful and simple to follow. Also, I appreciate the links you leave for the products you use. Thank you!
Just exactly what i am cond=sidering doing myself. So very good timing. thank you.
That’s how’s it’s done guys and gals. Awesome video man, can’t wait to see that Reno!
This is what I was looking for. These so called "experts" don't explain it in a simple way like this guy does. Great video. Thank you!
Nice. To the point. Easy to digest for a beginner like me. Going to give this a go next weekend. Thanks for putting this out there.
This made for a great morning chuckle. Nothing you said is over the top, to do. Thank you...
I pre-germinate the Bermuda grass seed by mixing it with Peat Moss in a 64 gallon container, I add water until it’s damp, and then I cover the container for 4 days to germinate. After that I mix with lawn soil or top soil in a wheel barrow, I spread the mixture over the bare areas, I throw some fertilizer on it and I water 3 times a day (using a timer that connects to the faucet on the side of the house). A couple of weeks later, green grass covers the entire area
I never thought of doing this for the bare patches I have in my yard. Interesting!
Getting me excited to put down my GCI TTTF seed this fall. First time using Pete's grass seed and I can't wait to see the results. Got my XStart as well! Great video!
👍👍👍
That's awesome that you are an expert with regards to 3 inches. Nothing to be ashamed of!! You are a funny guy.
You rock ....I love how you explain things so well and you have a good delivery
I purchased a home and inherited a lawn that needed some serious tlc. As a beginner to the process I naturally went to UA-cam for some tips. I have to say your videos been most helpful to me personally. Your channel is greatly appreciated. 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I’m about to purchase a new built with no grass n I’m scared of how much sod will be . Did this work for you was it less expensive
😊
I'm currently in this situation. The weeds have really shown themselves this summer and I have to stop the spread.
This video led me down a long road to what a lawn can be. I actually left the area of grass seed and now have full clover lawns and I mix in chia during the growing season. This puts nitrogen into the soil naturally conditioning it with the clover as well as provides a healthy crop of clover and chia for goats, chicken, horses, pigs etc. It's created a very drought tolerant yard which looks like grass when mowed and looks beautiful until it is. Best of all, I never have to add fertilizer since it's conditioned naturally.
Thanks to this video for getting me to investigate the ways of lawn care.
It took me a few weeks or so for the Kentucky bluegrass to germinate when I over seeded last time. I think one key is to have a sprinkler system, which I don't have. Maybe when I'm retired I'll have more time and patience to water the whole yard, moving sprinklers and hand watering. I know how, it's just not practical for me. One thing I'm happy about is to see you have a Toro recycler. I just picked one up the other day, and it's nice to see you (and the lawn care nut) both use those. Makes me feel better about my purchase (there are so many choices). Anyway, I know you're telling people good information, and the video is well put together.
Great summary! I'm going to do both aeration and detaching rake this year!
KBG has germinated in 7 days for me in my experiences and I use the off the shelf Scott’s 100% mix.
I used/use Pete’s GCI seed too. I really like the Cool Blue a lot. I like the TTTF by itself too but that Cool Blue is just a bit darker and really prevailed this season.
Wow, what a transformation! I have so much work to do.
Thank you finally I found a video that explain step by step to do my yard first time doing it and thank to you not bad at all😎👍🏽🙏👏🏽
I trust your advice. Not because of your results, but because of your crocs.
😂
Very important life message as well
Get it wet, Keep it wet but never put it away wet.
Need that on a poster on my wall
@@TheLawnWhisperer Is the Mesotrione safe for pets?
We live in the country, and we have bald spots with grass, and right now it’s November. So I definitely want better looking grass once it’s time.
My lawn so bad right now I believe I have to aerate and detach lol. Well after I kill all the weeds! Great instructions. Thanks.
If you don't have compacted lawn like mine is a sandy soil type use a "pull behind" detacher and use a crisscross pattern. When I did my yard it was so bad that I had BIG bare spots and was embarrassing to have my neighbors look at lol. But when I seeded it came back so lush and beautiful it's amazing. I also put a healthy dose of crab grass as well as other weed killers, triclopry4 to be exact. Wait 3 weeks before over seeding.
I'm going with Cool Blue from GCI this year for overseeding, hoping the fescue can withstand the sun and heat better than whatever grass is currently in my lawn.
I loved the video and I'm about to use all these tips, but my favorite part is when you stopped and said "car!" 🤣🤣🤣 my husband and I cracked up. Thanks
It’s so great moment to see about grass
Awesome suggestions. I can rehab a very distressed old lawn with thorough aeration. Like 4 to 5 passes, then top seed, fertilize and wait 10 days. I do everything in one foul swoop, which opinions may vary on. I use seed and fertilizer from the local turf farm that I bought my own sod from 20 years ago. I offer this service to home sellers thru realtors and guarantee success in 10 days. I charge around $400 tho as a side hustle plus I really enjoy it.
The best! Short and to the point. Thank you!!!!
First time home owner. I paid to get my weed filled lawn reseeded in the spring. Used tall fescue. It took about 3 weeks for full germination and a ton of weeds. The heat and sun has stressed it out and I'm not sure itll all come back. I want to overseed this fall. Love GCI turf idea but i dont want to mess up such a good seed. Going to try Scotts Fescue mix or Heat tolerant fescue/kbg mix. Though I dont own a aerator. I plan to just rake it vigorously. Thanks for your vids.
I used Kentucky Bluegrass on my front lawn and the heat tolerant tall fescue in the back. The weeds will come but as soon as the grass is full grown about 3 inches and then after your 3rd mow I would use the Scotts weed and feed spray depending on what types of weeds you have. My lawns look great.
Your instructions are some of the clearest on the tube bruh. Great info.
Thank you!
I love this guy, he explains everything so well that anyone can understand.
That grass looks soft 🤤 we have st. Augustine grass here in the yard in Florida 🌴🦋🐠☀️🌊 but yeah we’re customers of true green lol
Great video man I appreciate your tips as I’m considering getting after my lawn finally!
I'm learning as I go along! Thank you for making this video! :)
Would have never guessed you're an expert of 3 inches
Great video. I have question. Last year I detract with my Sun Joe and seeded etc basically redid my whole lawn: Jonathan Greene seed (excellent), dirt, starter fertilizer, tenacity and straw for first time. Lawn did really good.
Now we are in spring (Philly) I did my first cut Saturday. Grass isn't bad came in a whole lot better than the mess last year. I'm definitely going to be overseeding and tenacity etc this weekend.
My problem area, I have some bald patches and overall need to thicken up hence the reason to oversees.
My question, do I detract before seeding? I'm thinking I need to in order to get good root.
Thank you in advance.
Thank you helping me with my lawn will try next week!
I only wish we could grow that kind of grass in Florida. Sadly not what I had when I lived in Kentucky. Great video and thank you! 😎👍
Perfectly laid out and easy to understand Justin.👍🏻 Great video man.💯
Thanks pnwl
Looking good!
You are the best thanks 🙏 hello from Puerto Rico 🇺🇸🇵🇷
I've always said 3 inches was more than enough, glad you agreed.
I’m sure the 3” plugs look bigger in person.
Those plugs looked to be at least 6". Maybe 8. But I've been told the girth of the plugs is far more important than the length.
If I had a nickel every time I heard that
The darker ones look bigger
Magnifying glass makes it look bigger!
Haha
Man 3”. You’re really going deep with it 😉
That’s what she said is what he’ll say🥱
Lmfao
Duuuuuude. This video was great. I learned a lot in only 7 minutes. Much appreciated.
Great video bro
I never thought of all the steps before actually seeding lol
"There goes TruGreen" lol
Sir : Jason your statement was funny sir however True they might have to invest in another business
@Jesus is coming. Read the Gospel. No
Great step by step!👍
Thanks grace!
Love your videos and all your great info. You’re my lawn hero! Thanks for helping all of us
Trugreen.... Lolol. Did he MeanMug you?
Good video. I'm in NWGA and coming up on backyard fescue reseed next month. This video helped a lot
Thank you very much for the informative video. I have one question. So I just moved into our home a year ago and I put sod in that same month, roughly a year ago. 100% Kentucky bluegrass from red hen turf farm. I currently have a lot of dog spots in the back yard but for the most part my yard is pretty healthy. I’m just curious, if I were to over-seed this fall, would you use the grass seed from the sod farm to match the KBG, or would you throw down some TTTF to mix things up a bit.
I'm overseeding in the spring...wish me luck!
It can be done. Just keep it moist and make sure to top dress it. He misses that valuable part.
Very informative! Thanks for listing the products used.
Thumbs up for the subtle drop about being an expert on 3 inches. 😂 Classic!
Can't lie, homie Grass game on 1000.
I’ve been following you for a year. Thank you so much for doing such a thorough video! I have just over seeded Bermuda grass with tall fescue. I was told that the Bermuda grass and the tall fescue could coexist well. It seems like the tall fescue is having a hard time growing in the thick areas of Bermuda, but of course, tall fescue is thriving in the bald areas of the yard. Also, why is the tall fescue only growing in rows and slowly filling in?
Sorry to tell you Lisa but you Fucked up! Never never I repeat never listen to your local home depot idiots. Never over seed Bermuda with anything but Bermuda seed now I bet your grass looks like shit 2 different colors and one grows faster than the other it's okay just start over kill the whole yard wait 1month then cultivate the yard then overseed with Bermuda SEED water every day for 30 mins for 2 weeks straight and you should be back in buisness best of luck!
I love what I have seen so far. Thanks!
I'm getting ready to add some more GCI TTTF and Cool heat to my front lawn.....back is getting straight KBG...LOVE this time of year...
3" is my HOC - the neighbors wonder what i'm doing when i lay down on my front to measure it ;)
Haha... "I'm an expert at 3 inches". That caught me by surprise!
“I’m an expert at 3 inches…” Instant subscribe 😂
Was gonna just spray paint my messed up yard color green... This changed my mind
Great video again, decided to go with tall fescue instead of KBG on my fescue lawn for overseeding, just waiting for these Temps to come down. So even tho I'm overseeding, should I use starter fert once germination starts instead of regular fert correct ? One more thing, dude that sprinkler system is just awesome man. Take care!
Even on vacation at Maddens Resort I’m watching UA-cam by the lake #dedicatedsubscriber
Dedication
The Lawn Whisperer I’m on vacation in Daytona beach watching on the balcony of my condo. Love the content. Keep it up.
Sun Joe > Greenworks Dethatcher. Particularly with that scarifier for the overseed.
I have the sunjoe it’s amazing
I have the Green works. It works great. everyone says sunjoe is better for some reason though.
Your awesome dude hilarious and helpful brother thanks alot appreciate the content
I just happened to pass by a lawn video on my recommended and now I'm literally binge-ing every lawn video I see LMAO
Thoughts on topdressing with compost or 3:1 mix as part of the overseeding process? Also, the 3" plugs look a lot bigger if you mow the grass really short. Just saying.
Definitely makes the plugs look bigger! you can top dress for sure I just wouldnt go too thick!
"I'm kind of an expert on three inches and I think three inches is VERY good"
Giggity
Lmfao
😂😂😂
Good! , i ordered my Jonathon Black Beauty seed . will be over seed next week.
Thank you for this video. Great information and presentation. :)
How long do you typically wait to mow for the first time after overseeding? I cut as low as I could this past Friday night, and overseeded the next morning. It was now Thursday, and the grass around my new seeds is growing very quickly. I'm worried that if I wait another week the old grass will shade out the seedlings and nothing will grow.
Also be sure in the summer to not cut your grass too short because the heat can burn it
New to lawn care, and I would like to know if the core plugs should be raked up or left on the grass? Thanks, Bob
Left there and they will dissolve back into the soil
I was curious on this myself. I’ve seen different recommendations, leave them, rake them up and add them to compost pile, or mulch them with mower for added nutrients as well.
The three inches joke killed me! Pretty funny my man!
The man is the connection on straight lines!😂
“There goes trugreem” lol.
😂😂😂😂😂
This man is hilarious 😂.
Just ordered GCI Turf Cool Blue Turf Type Tall Fescue/Kentucky Bluegrass Grass Seed - 50 Pounds with your link. Thanks!
You are awesome!
Great vide and thanks... I am going to do mine this coming fall..
I lost my $hit when you said "I'm an expert when it comes to 3 inches" 💀💀💀
Line of the year "Kinda of an expert when comes to three inches."
Funny as hell but I don't share your same woes... LMAO!!
CAR!
the vid is super helpful. worked great!
You are awesome! Thanks so much for the info! I'm in a rental home with dead grass! Wish me luck! Haha.
How much did you pay the TruGreen guy? LoL
😂
🤢🤮
Jealous?😂. His lawn is fire!!!
🤣🤣
RIP headphone users! LOL
Great video, especially the watering part.
Thoughts on top dressing areas that need a lot of help? At what point would you put down the loam? After aeration/thatching but prior to seed?
I agree with The FPV Life. I do have a question for you though. I’m going to be over seeding my lawn this fall. Going to do all the things you said plus some top soil. My only question is how tall or short should the grass be for Bermuda grass? I live in southern Georgia, don’t know if it matters a whole lot or not.
Thank you, great advice! My lawn is spongy and sinks when I step on it. We have developed weeds, wheat and fungus on bushes. Any ideas on what's causing this? Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks for the video. Keep up the good work.
Great tips! I'll give the aerator a try this fall.
Any tips on getting rid of Bermuda grass?
Moving into a new build in the spring and I’ll have a sprinkler system for the first time ever. I can’t wait to start building that lawn! I’m also looking forward to how your KB conversion in the backyard. I’ll be basing my seed choice pretty heavily on what you think after doing that
I just went through the same thing....big bucks brand new house, I wanted it to have the best lawn to match....Let me tell you a couple of things first...1. Find out where your local Top Soil supplier is....Not some generic landscapper...I mean the source...Poke around, I've got an Acre lot, including the house, so that comes out to just over 7K Sq. FT.....I know your builder put down some kind of soil, but trust me, they put down the cheapest pebbly junk they can get away with, and the cheapest crappy "Landscapers Seed" full of thencrappiest weenies seed mix you can get...its cheap, and it grows in fast and thick...but trust me...in a few years you'll have nothing but weedes. I went by a couple of houses he'd built, and planted grass for....all weeds, you don't want that shit. So, first of all, like I said-find your local top soil provider first....Youre going to want 3-6" The builder told me they put down top six, yeah junky crap, but still something, so i went with 3"Do the math, ykull find some equation showing how many "Yards" of top soil you're going to need for you're square footage. These soil companies do deliver, and basically they charge by the dump truck worth of soil, about 20 yards per truck loads worth, whether the trucks half filled or not...think multiples of 20 yards, wven if you're calculation equates to somewhere inbetween...My calculation came out to requiring 3r yards, so i "rounded up to 40, or two trucks worth...Now, haggling with the soil provider is expected...he originally wanted $1,000 per truck load, i oooed and ahed a little bit...got a slightly better offer, then said OK....if i come back in an hour from now, with a fist full of cash...will you take $750 in CASH per load ? Thats $1,500 in cold hard cash!!!!! I said to him, he looked out of the corner of his eye at me and said "Cash?" Yea, "Cash-15 crisp new 100 dollar bills" I said to him....OK, he says back....He'll respect you, instead of thinking youre some kind of wet behind the ears yuppie, prime for the picking. You got him talking now to you as if you're a working class joe....dont ruin it by showing up in a brand new Beamer or something...So you got him talking now. Now you ask him who he can recommend to spread the soil over your property....Now, dont say you're a DIY Hero...when you see a couple of dumbstruck worth of soil dumped in your driveway....you'll be glad you hired a couple of guys with profesional backhoes to spread the stuff.dont even think you can do it yourself....So, this soil provider is going to know the right guys for you to call, probably tell you to say Joe told you to call...When the head guy shows up to give you an estimate, try to let off that moneys tight after buying this new house or something, or else the guys going to squeeze you as much as he can...Whatever price he gives you, tell him you've gotta think about it, and you'll call him tomorrow or something...That way he thinks you've been shopping around a little bit, and morre open to negotiation....I got a deal, he wanted $1,200...i offered $750....again, emphasizing cash, these guys always like to see the green.
So, the rest of the project you can do on your own...Now, you went to the source for the soil, got a good price, found a good crew to put it down...You probably saved yourself big time money compared to if you just called a landscaper out of the yellow pages, and said-I need some top soil delivered and laid down...how much??? They'll skin you alive...Arranging it myself, cost me $2,150. A landscaper wanted $7,500....If you got that kind of money to throw around fine....Me, I tried to save a little here and there, so i could afford...The best soil, professionally spread...the best 100% Kentuckybluegrass seed, Organic Starter Fertilizer etc...BTW - Only use Organic Fertilizers from a landscape supply store...nit off the shelf - full of chemical stuff from Homedepot or something...Trust me...My new Kentuckybluegrass Seed was coming in like we a magic carpet the spring after I planted it....Then, at Homedepot I saw how Scott's Turfbhilder was on sale... I'd been warned, but couldn't resist a sale...so I spread it, thinking oh..this stuff is cheap compared to what it cost me for my organic fertilizer I had been using....so I spread it a lot thicker....5 days latter, my lovely magic carpet - croaked on me and died, turning to a see of brown, burned horror....I had to start all over again, I was heartbroken.
Good Luck, let me know if you have any questions...Alex
@@TheMormonPower Thank you for the advice. Your story was informative and entertaining at the same time.
@@TheMormonPower don't know if you have notifications on or if you even remember your original comment. I live in the south so my top soil seems like it will be a pain to remove. Do you recommend I remove the top soil DIY then follow the rest of your comments advice? Also, I should probably wait till spring to start this process right? I still gotta find out what grass I should be going with, all the grass videos I come across are guys living up north talking about their favorite grass.
Very informative video, very good, it’s to the point and not long 👏 👏 👏
That's what she said
The Lawn Whisperer
🥱
Appreciate the professional advice.
Love the video bro! Have watched many but BY FAR yours make most sense. Let me ask if you something if you may be able to help. Im a first time home owner in Charlotte, NC and have never did anything lawn related. We just moved in and the lawn looks like crap. Muddy spots everywhere. If I were to follow your steps at it already March 2nd, do you think I could grow grass? Also, what seed could you recommend? Thank you!
