Thank you. I just moved a few month ago. New house lawn is just shy of .25 acre. I'll be watering it without a sprinkler system too. Appreciate ya watching!
Thanks for the mention! Appreciate the helpful video and real world example of how get it done. I definitely over think my watering, so it’s awesome to see how someone can get great results with a simple and straight forward process. Where I live in Texas we have had under 2 inches rain for all of 2020 so far. Last year we had probably 10-15 inches in the same time. I think I need to stop chasing perfection and just be happy my lawn as a whole is even surviving this drought. I’m starting to look into soil wetting agents now. The cheapest pro level option I’ve found are tournament ready pellets for about $12 each. Each 6-8 oz pellet (depending on which one you pick) covers 16,000 square foot. You can skip buying the expensive applicator gun and just dissolve the pellet (or cut off bits of it at a time a weigh them) with water and spray through a hose end or a pump sprayer before watering it in a little. This might be something worth looking into.. shipping is expensive through R&R, so I think I paid around $30 to get one to my door. It’s supposed to help water penetrate the soil, move within the soil, and hold inside the soil.
Absolutely man. You're welcome. Thanks again for the suggestion and patience. This was a fun video to make. And don't sweat it, I've over thought lawn care many a times. Especially when I first got started and didn't know what I was doing. It's easy to do. Everything I read and watched online just beat things into me like I HAD to do this and HAD to do that. Of course, a lot of it wasn't financially possible for me, so I started only doing the best that I could. I soon realized that things were working out great, and I wasn't following the "rules" to a T. That's when I started really enjoying it and not worrying so much. I hope I can pass that along to other folks, because there wasn't anyone showing it to me. And WOW! Only 2 inches? That stinks. Sorry man. That definitely has to make it tough to keep a nice lawn, so yeah, you should be super happy to make it through that kind of drought. Sounds like you could definitely benefit from some sort of wetting agent program. Good luck with that. Let me know how it works. Really appreciate ya watching and your support. If you have any other videos you want to see, please don't hesitate to let me know. 👍
I actually did the tuna can test to my lawn this morning. Had the timer set to start at 430am and run each head (4 heads) for 15 min each. Set for 3 cycles 430,530 and 630. Tuna can only had 1/2" in each after a total of 3 hours. Wow, now I realise how much I have been under watering for the past couple years. On the mowing side I'm not playing this year. I mowed front 25 times and back 27 times which started March 29th. Let me see where this takes me this year. Things are looking good so far.
Sweet. It's crazy how long you have to water, huh? It doesn't seem like that's how it would be but it is unfortunately. Right on man. You're killing it. It's amazing how far mowing a lot can take ya. Keep it up!
@@BudgetLawns Thanks bud. Just spent the day fixing my pavers that run across the street as in my video. 4 ' 5 gallon buckets of sand to get them all straight. Wow, so much better now to mow with the earthwise without hitting the blades on the pavers. What a day bit so worth it.
I get pretty good results and satisfaction laying out linked soaker hoses and keeping my Bermuda under matting moist. Moving and snaking my soaker hoses around is a lot of fun.
I like the Nelson square sprinkler for my back yard in Tempe, AZ. You do have to move it more frequently but I don’t mind lol. I hose water my front putting green. Schedule is every 3 days in the desert.
Thank you! Crazy how long it takes. I was shocked when I was new to lawn care and realized that. Appreciate the compliment on the lawn. The back yard is really looking good and the front is recovering nicely from the sand. I can't wait to share the video I'm working on. Stay tuned!
Niiiice! That's an awesome sprinkler. The adjustments definitely come in handy. Thanks for adding that to the comment section for other folks to see another good one! Appreciate ya!
Thank you for the awesome video! I’m first time single house owner, so lots of things to learn. I’m using two melnor oscillating sprinklers(cover 4500sf), but mine covers so little. My yard is about 9000sf, but it takes forever to water all four side of yard. Also I’m using two 50ft 5/8 hoses, but they are leaking. Maybe that’s the reason? Need your advice!
You're welcome. Congrats on becoming a homeowner. Leaking hoses can definitely cause lower pressure resulting in less output. Running two at once can also cause less coverage from each sprinkler. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
@@BudgetLawnsyeah, gotta figure it out.😂 Also fighting for the weed. Hired professional, because the builder didn’t clean the dirt before putting the sod.
I just watched another guy that doesn’t use water at all, but he said some about lime. I don’t know. Maybe you could check it out. I don’t have the video.😊
@@jenniferbullock7124because lime affects the pH balance of your soil you probably want to check your soil pH before you start applying that. What were you trying to do?
Thanks man. No I haven't. I really enjoy watering, so this process works great for me for only 2 times a week (if no rain). I'm sure one day I'll get tired of doing it and look for a more hands off option. Haha, most people think I'm crazy.
Great video. I like the pick your battles approach. You are right about the time it takes to put an inch of water. It helps if you have 3/4 inch hose. That oscillating sprinkler puts out tons of water compared to mine. What brand is it? Also you should hit Walmart at the end of the season, after mid September up here, you can find great bargains for up to 50% off and even more. I got two orbits timers with two zones each for $15 each, all metal impact sprinklers down to $7 from $20. Really budget lawn stuff
Thank you. You're right there. Mine are 3/4 in and they move quite a bit of water. The oscillating one is Mintcraft, but I think they may have changed the name or packaging. Yeah, definitely. The end of the season is prime time for the good deals! Thanks for watching and your comment!
I grew up in Arizona. I miss my Bermuda grass. I am sick of everything sprinkler systems. I have a rock yard with a drip system. Thinking of putting a small rectangle of Bermuda with a weed barrier to keep it from growing it out to the rocks. Can’t do a lot of mowing a large lawn.
Just depended on weather. Typically summer would see an increase of around 30-40 bucks but usually only for the months of June, July and maybe august. I’m usually blessed to get those summertime afternoon showers that give me the free stuff. Thanks for watching.
They look nice and I’ve heard great things but I can’t justify the cost for a sprinkler when I’ve found that the inexpensive ones work just fine for my needs. I prefer oscillating sprinklers because of the shape of my yard and they don’t make one. Hope this helps. Appreciate ya watching.
Loved this video! Definitely earned a sub!! Im the only one in my neighborhood who waters and always feel like everyone is looking at me and my obsession lolol
🌞Ha! Remember those days: "shhh, don't wake the kids!". Yard looks amazing! We have crazy water prices here where I live; have to depend mostly on mother nature.
Haha. I'm lucky the wife even lets me water. I figured it would come to an end completely for fear of waking them. A compromise at a later start time was worth it. Thank you, sir. That's a bummer about the high water prices. It's not too bad here, so I can't complain. Appreciate ya!
I lost my oscillating sprinkler. Kind of bummed about that. I just went on Orbit's website and ordered 12 sprinkler catch cups for $17. Its not too budget friendly, but I don't eat tuna. I certainly don't eat cans (plural) to wrangle up. Lol Love the video and loved the new time stamps
Oh bummer. Those catch cups are cool though. I'm a huge tuna fan, so I can't resist 'em. Haha. Thank you for the feedback. With this new time stamp feature, I want to experiment with some longer videos for the folks who want more, but still make it easier for those that don't want to watch the whole thing to find what they want. 👍Appreciate you!
Hit the dollar store next time. I got a few rain gauges. They are not the prettiest ones but for a dollar can't be beat and after a few good watering you don't have to put them out anymore if you got an idea how much water the sprinkler is putting out.
Great video! Thanks! Dealing with how to water my lawn in this extreme heat in Tx with these types of sprinklers. Left your channel with out feeling sprinkler shaming. lol 🫣. Just water.💦 Simple and easy! 😁
Thank you. Glad it helps. Keep up the good fight out there. The heat is brutal. There's only so much you can do without breaking the bank. Appreciate ya watching and commenting.
You’re going to have hard water spots all over the truck and your neighbors’ cars. Just a word of caution from a detailer. It will etch the clear coat bad. Love the videos boss.
Thanks man. Appreciate ya. Yeah, I'm already getting some. Fortunately, I'm making sure it stays off my neighbors for the most part even though they say they don't care. I bought that truck specifically for lawn work with the intention of not worrying about what happens to it. It's supposed to be my "work truck". I'm not really a car guy, so I guess it works. The last thing I need is something to obsess about. I tend to do that haha. I might regret it later. Thanks for the input and watching.
I stopped being finicky about my sprinkler setup too. So what if the car gets some water. The windows on the house don't mind a wash every now and then either
Right on. I like your style! I figure I can enjoy watering or dread it by making it complicated. I'll keep it simple and have fun! Thanks for watching and commenting!
That’s a good question. I really don’t know. Never thought about it. I imagine the larger hose may provide slightly more output as more water travels through it. But it sounds like you’ve got to go with what you’re working with so I wouldn’t worry about it. Sorry I don’t have a definitive answer for ya. Appreciate ya watching.
It definitely dries out faster the lower it is. I used to keep mine higher when I was new to lawn care. Around 2.5 inches. Bermuda is a lot leggier that way but dang it stayed green and I didn’t have to water as often. Still looked good though.
I don't, man. I've never had a problem in that area, so I kinda just let it ride. Gotta love bermuda. It's almost like the surrounding grass shares the water with the small spots that don't get any. haha!
I liked this full walk-thru and in-depth logic of your process, brother! Great stuff. Always learning new ways of how people are reaching success. Oh yea brush your teeth first next time, I thought I smelt something 🤣😂 JK Brother 🤙🏾🌱
Haha. Got me! I'm just glad I forgot to mention that I missed my deodorant app 😂. Thanks buddy. I appreciate that feedback. A longer video than I would like to upload, but this new chapter feature is pretty cool. Wanna experiment with it to see what folks think of longer video formats. Much appreciation for your support as always! 👊
They are Never Kink hoses. The sprinklers are Gilmour and MintCraft. I'm sorry, but I don't have the links to them as I bought them from my local hardware store.

Because you care so much for your Lawn just like us, maintaining and watering does come at a cost.... so saying that, what are your typical water bills during summer months?
My most recent one was 130. But I don’t go overboard to keep it immaculate like others do. I’ve heard from guys that will spend 300+ a month. That’s crazy. Not me.
In the front, yes, because I can't mow it right now. I'm waiting on it to recover more from leveling with sand last weekend. In the back, I'm dealing with it a little but not too bad. I'm mowing every other day, so that helps keep 'em at bay.
@@BudgetLawns Problem I'm having is that I cannot cut the shorter ones. My reel mower can't go lower than an inch, so I am basically either missing the shorter ones or just knocking them over. Hopefully they will eventually disappear on their own. Hate the spots of non-green in my otherwise green lawn.
Fortunately, the Earthwise goes below 1". So I've taken it down lower than my HOC at 1" for a few mows. Hopefully that will help keep them away at 1". But I know what ya mean. I've got a lot of those shorter ones that won't get cut. Definitely no fun to look at on the lawn. Keep me posted if things get better for ya! 👊
I stop toward the end of September. It still needs water just not as much depending on the weather. I take what mother nature gives me and deal with what happens.
Yeah, they can be frustrating. Technically, I'm not wasting water, because to avoid getting it on those objects I would have to adjust them more often, which would mean running them twice as long. In the end, I'm probably using less water. When it's windy I have to get creative haha. Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it.
This is the exact reason I don’t use sprinklers and hand water only.You end up watering the house,driveway,road,etc as much as your lawn this way shown.Each to their own.
I water my lawn correctly so not an issue. So did my neighbors. Plus I was friends with both of them, and they were more than happy to let me. One even helped water my lawn when I couldn’t. Those are good neighbors. Perhaps you should form better relationships with yours. Just a thought.
Thanks for the tips. It’s nice to see a video for someone with a small yard who doesn’t have a sprinkler system. Great job!

Awesome. Thank you so much! Glad to have you here!
What size diameter hose you using?
3/4 I believe. Been about 5 years since I bought em. 👍👍
I incorporate an oscillating sprinkler strictly for the sound. 💚
The sound of sprinklers in the morning are a beautiful thing! Especially that of the oscillating one!

What’s month you should stop water your Bermuda grass
I stop toward the end of September. It still needs water just not as much depending on the weather. I take what mother nature gives me and deal with what happens.
Thanks man 👨
Reason I don't like sprinklers.They water the house,road,paths,fences,etc,wasting water.Useless in wind too.
Yeah, they can be frustrating. Technically, I'm not wasting water, because to avoid getting it on those objects I would have to adjust them more often, which would mean running them twice as long. In the end, I'm probably using less water. When it's windy I have to get creative haha. Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it.
