wow !!!! I could really use your help with my lawn , also your lawn looks amazing great job man ....
I'm in Vermont. Question - where can I buy the Lesco Team Mates Plus Grass Seed blend for our area. The only one I found online was Royalton Supply out of Ohio. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Bill
How do you afford grass seed? It costs a fortune, suggestions to get ALOT of seed for a good price?
Hey was that grass seed you use shady select? That’s the only grass mix in that brand that I could find.
@@thecryptoretriever5465 Site One has it
As a German I always watch jealously how much space you have in the USA. Where I live property prices have risen to a level that most people can't even afford 500m² for a house and a small garden.
Choosing the right seed is the whole thing
I have enjoyed watching your videos over the years and have followed your advice. My lawn is similar in size to yours so I appreciate how much work goes into getting the results you have achieved. I’m getting ready to overseed portions of my lawn and would appreciate a link in the description with exact details on the grass seed you used. Thank you!
Dude how big is your property??!!! Looks Huge. Looks Awesome !!!
I really appreciate that. I have about 3 acres but it's split up into different areas.
Silver Cymbal,
Extremely encouraging! Would you be kind enough to share some updates with current summer photos of this project lawn area?
How is that special seed hold up in the summer!
Yes, they are long overdue. Watch mu instagram for some new pic shortly. Thanks
This result with so much shadow due to the trees is unbeliveable 🏅
No trickery here. You can see plenty of other pictures on my Instagram at different days/times instagram.com/silvercymbal/ I will be sharing new pictures this weekend and updates through this season too with videos to see more.
This is an unbelievably cool process. We use TruGreen company to take care of our lawn, but they do not do a good job. They always miss some parts of the yard and we have areas full of weeds. The advice you posted on this video is great. I guess i will use them to improve our lawn. I guess it is time to get some Tenacity Herbicide .
We have HARD well water that pretty much kills anything you water with it. Getting grass established anytime we have to do digging is an uphill battle. Looking forward to trying this method.
This is a great video. Thanks for taking the time to produce such helpful instructive content. I watched your more detailed video on weeds using Tenacity and it convinced me to buy the products and try it. I just applied it to the first area (front lawn) yesterday. But today it’s raining - about 15hrs after application. I’m wondering if the rain will wash Tenacity away preventing it from working.
Thank you very much. You wont have any issues with that. It really only need to dry and they say around 4 hours. You should be well away from any problems with that timing.
Love it. Did you consider adding a top dressing prior to seeding? In my opinion aerating is the key and you literally nailed it. Awesome and thank you for the tips on humichar
Really Great video, and I have to say your video production skills are excellent. Grass Lawns can become an addiction. …..LOL :)
Great video! Just found your channel and I’m super happy!
This looks awesome. I am a new home owner so I am trying to figure out how to grow my lawn. I live in a mobile home community, but I have a good size yard. Alot of it barely has grass, dead areas and dirt. I put down some Weed and Feed about a month ago and now I am trying to find out how to get the grass growing. This helps. I do not have all that equipment and I live in Orlando, so I would like some ideas as to what would work for me if you have any suggestions.
Thank you. Fortunately everything I showed can all be done without heavy tools. I would use a hard tined rake instead of the aerator and even a rgular rake can help loosen the soil. You can use tenacity and a pump sprayer to kill of the weeds, reseed with teammates from your local site one and you will be starting off on a good foot.
Lots of water is important in the first 60-90 days for new seedlings. A lot of people don't water enough and think it's doing well and stop watering....only to eventually die. Good luck, congrats on the new place! 👍
Check out the lawn care nut on here. He'll help you with anything you need.
I watched the video on tenacity and then this one. I was wondering if i can use weed killer and aerate and lay seed / fertilizer the same day or do I need to wait a week or two to lay seed after using the weed killer?
Great video again!!!
I'm green with Envy. I wish I could do that in Southern NM without sprinklers.
Where can i purchase the grass seed? I have been looking but cannot seem to find it
No rain for the next 8 days! Lol
*laughs in West Texan* we went over 100 days without any precipitation last year.
100 days? Wow, we have weeks without rain but we would call that a drought here.
@@SilverCymbal it was definitely a tough situation
I feel the pain Ryan. My 5 acres looks like crap and my foundation is cracking because of no water.
What type of grass seeds do you use for your lawn?
great vid. people who say you need to water 5 times a day to get seed to grow are insane. if that was true no crops would grow at all.
Great video How did it hold up to the heat in the summer and the cold in the winter does it go dormant in the winter time and does it stay green in the summer? The yard really looks good. Thanks
Thank you, here it is a year later ua-cam.com/video/pM02HvRknWE/v-deo.html
Does Lesco have a warm-season or transition mix of grass seed? I live in North Carolina and am worried the Team Mates mix may not be suitable for the summers here.
Did you put lime the same day you added seed and fertilizer?
Morning dew is good amount of water in the fall.
I am not seeing this “team mates plus” seed, do you know if lesco calls it something different?
What about in Florida? Rainy season is when it's hot.Doesnt rain much in winter.
Great work. What is lime and what it does and I believe that grass seed type tolerets water/rain more often or not?
What does it look like now? All your pictures were from last year.
It's still early here at the moment but temps are warming up this week. I will have full pics on instagram and a follow up video within a month. But what I see right now looks very good. It over wintered very well.
@@SilverCymbal whow
That's awesome! Spring hasn't gotten here yet, still cold! Give it a couple weeks!
What kind of grass is that? I know you said a mix but what types. Also what state are you in?
If you check out my instagram I have a pic of the label with all the varieties. I am in Massachusetts. They blend this for the region you are in.
Excellent video and excellent results. Question: what temperature zone did you do this in? I wonder if those seeds and that process would work in Florida?
Thank you kindly. I would visit your local Siteone and see what they think. I am told Lesco Team mates plus is blended differently for each region so that it will work well but they can tell you for sure. In FL I would attempt this only in your coolest season to give it the most time to establish. The seed is a huge part of it and the dealer can help you get the right one but the rest of the video should still provide a good guide. Best wishes to you on your project and thanks for watching.
Silver Cymbal thank you for your advice.
Awesome video, man! how long should you wait to apply the grass seed after tenacity?
3 weeks is ideal but you can do it in as short as 1 day, tenacity doesn't affect the seed i just like to give them a little time to wither away.
Is your well pump on the other side of your driveway over there? Could you install a frost proof hydrant right over there?
That was awesome
8:08 the beez are flying
Can this method be used for front yard lawn? I have 10k SQ ft and I'm dreading installing a sprinkler system.
You aerated 4 times. Was that all on one day or spread out over multiple days or weeks?
Yes all in one day.
How May days after you spot treated with tenacity did you air raid and seed? Was it same day?
What type of seed is that?
I have a warm-season lawn & I'm not sure if that team-mates seed would match up with the Bermuda.
🤷♂️
Do you have to spot spray Tenacity? Or could I spray my entire lawn?
Definitely spot spray.
@@SilverCymbal
2.500m².... Rural
How do you spot spray that?. Clover, dock, some thistle, couch, paspalum, poa, tall fescue etc.... everywhere.
What was the size of your area that you did please?
Also you had said previously that after rain is best.
Between spraying and airating, what was the time Space please.
Thank you
Do you have an update on how it looks after the heat of summer? I looked at your Instagram and saw the one you posted in early Aug. How does it look now?
Sure, its been a horrible summer for us to, very little rain and all and all it's still looks amazingly good. Not perfect. Watch for some new pics shortly.
@@KickDrumKid23 It's still doing well. I posted some pics last year on my instagram a year later
How did the grass make out with the summer heat ??
It did really well and this summer was insanely hot. You can see update pics on my instagram
What kind of grass did you seed with?
Lesco Teammates Plus. A copy of the label is on my instagram page.
Black beauty ultra or lesco ?
In this video with no water I like the Lesco Teammates Plus. For any lawn with watering I love the Black Beauty
no dethatching needed?
Great video! How long after you used the tenacity did you seed and fertilize?
must be fine fescue
👍
Why didn't you cut the grass before hand?....it was pretty long in the vid.
It was new seed and I wanted to let it grow for at least 4 weeks before it was cut to let it establish well.
Just curious how many acres do you have?
3
@@SilverCymbal oh ok cool
So good the professional show you all that, and by the way you show you to lie, I bet it was a professional too...
Sorry I can't follow what you are saying.
So on your first mow you bagged and cut short? You basically robbed it of nutrients by bagging, and gave it even harder time by cutting so short. Why?
How's it looking a year later?
I actually did an update last year, it was a super hot summer. Still held up pretty well. ua-cam.com/video/pM02HvRknWE/v-deo.html
Is that mix PRG?
Here is a link to the label here: instagram.com/p/BpFzQyBnxnu/? My understanding is that Lesco blends tem mates plus differently for each region to do the best,
Was wondering that myself - tricky to find the label online for that ...so thanks for posting that link.
The SiteOne here in NH has Teammates Plus as 70% Tall Fescue, 20% Perennial Rye 10% KBG (but no cultivars listed) so in-line with what you had.
Wonder if a fine fescue mix would’ve worked in that area also, there is no-mow varieties and from my understanding take very little input to thrive, and are some of the most shade tolerant grasses I know of.
Site one puts just about nothing online which I didn't understand. However, when you visit there stores it was an awesome exeperience. I have been to 4 of their locations in diferent states when I travel (who doesnt shop for lawn care products when they travel :) But they were all so great to work with and they knew I was just a homeowner and treated me very well and had great advice. I would reccomend visiting one of theire stores and I hope you have the same good experience with them. They know there stuff very well.
@@SilverCymbal sad when a great company has a crappy website.
Sponsored by Lesco
Not at all, for this project they made some great stuff.
Whats the difference between this video and this one ua-cam.com/video/VT73LKxPiWo/v-deo.html ? Have you made any other videos about this?
So all I have to do is time it right??? Hilarious.
Do this in an arid area and you will make a $ miilion
The title seems to me to disingenuous. I live in Colorado. This won’t work here. It’s a semi-arid desert. My suggestion is to put in the title where this technique will work. For example, this might work where someone receives 24” of precipitation per year. It appears that you would get more views if you didn’t make it clear that it won’t work in many areas but that feels irresponsible to me.

$189 for 50 lb bag of seed, that seed should plant itself for that much money
Keep in mind that is very competitive and it’s all top quality seed. 50# is for a big area. They sell smaller bags also but if you need seed this can’t be beat for quality.
@@SilverCymbal how many bags did you need?
Went from killing weeds to rototilling green grass…wut?
I think having the right type of grass seed can help immensely! Highway crews plant seed along county roads all the time and somehow that grass always takes. I'm going to be aerating later this year. Just did some de-thatching last weekend. Oh by the way I took the advice of another youtuber and decided to document my lawn progress this year too, so I created my first ever youtube video and first upload! I don't mean to be self promoting, but I'd be greatful if you check it out and let me know your thoughts on my flow and content. I'm a total editing noob yet all I have for video is a Galaxy S8 lol. But it seems to make halfway decent video at least! Thanks again for all the content you share! ua-cam.com/video/EbEnOG_Cytk/v-deo.html
That's such a great point about the seed type being so important. Grass grows everywhere and can really work with the right combination. I will check your video out and think that's a great idea for sharing and that's what YT is all about. Thanks for watching.
Not really a great video about doing lawn care without irrigation, try high dessert with 12" of rain a year SW idaho and then let me know.
!!!!!FAKE STORY!!!!! This is actually an ad for the products mentioned, dont fall for it
Sorry your comment is the only thing that is not accurate. This video is 100% true I make no money whatsoever from Lesco or Site one. They just have good products.
The only "fake" stories, are on the democrat side. If you really want to save your lawn, vote republican.
@@joequillun7790 cant argue with that!
