Amazing transformation Doc...thank you for sharing your expertise as you go! I discovered your website in 2018 (pre-beard) and ever since have been following your recommendations...when the neighbors ask who does my lawn, I say me and Doc.
Here in Central Cali, soil temps were in mid 50’s almost a month ago…I laid out preemergent almost 2 weeks ago…I was two weeks late due to constant rain here…first batch down, will put another round on next week…🙏🏻
I was late putting down granular pre-emerg for the first time last week in Northern Louisiana and I'm afraid the rainstorm 2 days later washed it out. I would put fungicide down today but in 2 days from now another heavy rainstorm is here. I have the worst winter kill and now fungus in the 5 years I've lived in the south. Crazy southern weather!
I was just late on pre-emergent. Should have done it 2 weeks earlier. Didn't expect the early soil temp breakthrough we had here in NE Oklahoma. Playing catch up now
Hi Doc, in the video you mentioned getting some Leyland Cypress trees. We planted 6 trees in Kentucky and the deer destroyed them. They were about 3 footers. Just an FYI for you.
At the 2:05 mark of the video, on the right side of the screen, I see a white flowering tree. Is that a Bradford Pear. They have large thorns and are very invasive.
You can't get it right in south carolina. The extremes starting in January through early March vary so much. You can never time your pre emergent with germination. This year especially will be another year with a bermuda lawn full of weeds.
Doc, I currently use the the little green bottles to apply liquid product to my yard, be it pre emergent, super juice, or insecticide. It takes about 20 bottles to get around the yard. I would like to go to a 25 gal tank sprayer I can pull behind the mower instead of dragging the hose all around the property. I'm concerned about not having enough water volume when I put down the product. I believe you did a video where you talk about water volume vs product at some point. Is say a 25 gallon tank sprayer pumping 2.5 GPM adequate for applying say 4 galllons of mixed product. I would appreciate your feedback
Hey Doc, when do you put preemergent down? Is it when the average temp is approx 50 or if you get a spike of 50+? According to soil maps my temps hit 64 on 3/13 but my 24 hour average is only 44.7. Thanks
Doc! I have the Anderson’s plastic bottles for the liquid split application. My question is how much dimension do I mix up for 12000 sq ft and how much does one full bottle (plastic bottles) treat? Just trying to finish the split app and apply the right amount!
Hey Doc, getting excited after binge watching your video and going over your advice on your guides. I live on the eastern shore of Virginia, soil temps hitting the low 50’s now. My yard is mostly weeds, predominate grass is wild common Bermuda with sprinkles of different fescues. I was planning on embracing the common Bermuda and start cutting with a rotary mower about and inch to 1.5 inches. I would like to get some product down soon. Looking and using a hose end spectracide weed stop to kill cold season weeds, throwing down some prodiamine to help suppress warm season weeds, some pgf balance, and humichar. Is this too much to soon, am I crazy for embracing common Bermuda. I would eventually like to smoke the whole yard off and seed a turf type Bermuda after I get irrigation. Front and side yard are about 15,000 square feet and total yard about 22,000 square feet, not fun to water when Mother Nature isn’t providing.
Doc... can pre-emergent be put out too soon? Does the fluctuating soil and air temps screw up the effectiveness of the PE? I am in Upstate SC and I have not put out my PE yet but I have had a lot of weeds in the past few weeks because of our snap summer temps. I have sprayed them with Weed killer for now but I really hate putting that on my lawn. But the wife HATES seeing the weeds....arrgghhh! LOL! Thank you for your help!
Pause. He look like he live on an estate. Forget the grass for a min, what did you do in your previous life to get here. I want to be like unc when I grow up. Keep them coming.. 💯
Which nitrogen-rich compost do you recommend? My grass looks as if it was spray painted hunter green except in an area where I had 3 trees removed and stumps grinded.
Does Image kill creeping charlie? I've gotten a handle on the poa annua but the creeping charlie is getting the better of me. 🤨 Would 2-4d be better? Something else?
Good morning, Doc. I do a soil test on my lawn. The N is low. The P is high. The k is low. What kind of fertilizers I need to use for this season. Thanks again. And everything looks good a the farm.
Hey Doc, one side of my lawn is like gray/green hazy looking. I have been watering it and it's been raining heavily here. I'm not sure if this is a grey leaf fungus or if It's still coming out of dormancy. I've noticed little yellow circles randomly on that same side of the yard. Just looking for some advice on what this could be so I can treat it properly. I could also send a picture if you'd like.
My Auburn University Soil Lab tests report (12 samples of each the front and back yards at 4 inches deep), of February 13th, indicates the following; Phosphorus (P) is medium. Very high in Potassium (K) High in both Magnesium and Calcium. On 2/28 I applied PGF 10-10-10. Therefore whenever I fertilize this spring/summer I believe it only needs a N-0-0 fertilizer to maintain a proper balance of NPK . . . Such as a 16-0-0, 25-0-0 or 34-0-0 granular product. Hopefully with Iron content. What do you recommend for my first fertilizer ?
I live in Bethlehem Ga. Am i to late to put out preemergent for it to do any good? My yard is infested with henbit among other weeds. I know that the henbit will die off when the temps warm, but i am like i know i gotta start somewhere.
Can you help me with ‘grape hyacinth’ take over? Finally have a yard going following your guide but the grape hyacinth is blooming (beautiful) but it is very quickly taking over. Help!!
Doc-ready to do my split PE but the liquid is crazy expensive (175.00), so can I just utilize the granules again to complete the split process Ali g with my PG complete?
Hi! I see a lot of earthworm castings over my septic drain fields. The bermuda grass on the other areas of my yard are already starting to green up but on the drain field area, the grass are still dead and have a lot of bare spots. I thought grass in that area would be lusher especially with the earthworm castings. Any advice on what to do?
Doc, I'm in memphis, TN. I've been watching your vids for a while, now, and honestly, until this year it didn't make a huge difference, as we were using a lawn service. Unfortunately, we were let down by our service last year (so we aren't using them anymore) and we didn't get a head start on our lawn. We want it to look nice, and we're committed to it being better. Effectively, we've probably done nothing to the lawn since the service was fired in the early fall. Now, we've had warmer than expected weather, and I'm late with pre-emergent (as well as other things, I know). However, I was planning to still put down the Spectracide from Lowe's as a pre-emergent today, as well as killing the numerous weeds we've got with the liquid spray spectracide. Is this counter-productive? How would you go forward? We've got a pretty good amount of weeds (various) coming up, but it doesn't look heinous out front. The back looks worse, but that's a whole 'nuther story. Thoughts, suggestions? I just bought the spectracide granular (pre-emergent you recommend) and the brown bottle with orange cap stuff for killing off the stuff that's already sprouted.
Doc, my results from My Soil tests have come back and the recommendation is Luxe 7-0-7 by Lawnbox. Can I use this in conjunction with my PGF complete or do you have another recommendation from Andersons. Thank you
Doc! You need to give Hallmark a shout. They may want to film at your location😎🤑$$$ Please don't forget me when you do. My front lawn would be a project with sponsorship help😎
Hey doc, I was wondering if you can guide me through, I live in Houston Texas and my lawn is mostly weeds and there are 3 areas where the dirt is extremely compact, I don’t know what to do first or what to use to kill the weeds off, I would like to have an awesome looking yard, any chance you can help me out?
First step get an aeration done, rake up the plugs. Need to know what type of grass you have growing before a weed killer and be prescribed. What do you have growing, warm or cool season grass?
@@AndyKicklighter I just don’t know what’s gonna be the most effective product to use to kill off all these different weeds, I only know of 2 weeds growing in my grass, clover and crab grass, the clover is the one like really spreading out like crazy, as far as the hard dirt goes, no matter how much water I put down it doesn’t get any better, what do you think would be the best way to aerate it? Like manually do it with the machine or like with liquid aerator? I don’t know what type of grass is in here, I think I’ve seeded like Bermuda and also tall fescue mix
@@alexmartinez1574 go on doc’s channel or type in howtowithdoc fixing ugly lawn full of weeds. He has a lawn he did and walks you step by step. Find a local guy to aerate your lawn. I pay $100, only $25 more than renting the machine from home depot. The aeration is going to help you get water in there. Also could start putting down dirt booster once a month to help your dirt transform. Doc has multiple links on his website to weed killing products. I can’t really give you a specific one to use without knowing if you want to have a Bermuda lawn or a fescue / other cool season lawn because some killers will kill off your grass depending on what grass you have
I want your pull behind mower only ROBOTIC. When I was a young'en like you, the 5 steps to the bathroom 2x a night was never a consideration. Permaculture R U. Sincere Thanks for the increase in my knowledge base. I once was blind... Lawson Texas

Doc, you have the best lawn care channel on all of UA-cam right now. Your tips are practical and useful, and the lawn looks incredible.
Orchard looking so nice, can't wait to see that develop.

Very Very nice.... Lots of money invested in that lawn.
Amazing what you have done to the place
Looks absolutely amazing. Thanks Doc
I live in Houston, Tx with St. Augustine grass. Is it similar to Bermuda in terms of care and timing as you suggest?
At the 2:05 mark of the video, on the right side of the screen, I see a white flowering tree. Is that a Bradford Pear. They have large thorns and are very invasive.
You can't get it right in south carolina. The extremes starting in January through early March vary so much. You can never time your pre emergent with germination. This year especially will be another year with a bermuda lawn full of weeds.
About time for a nice John Deere tractor. Those fields are getting big Doc!

When it’s time to put down dimension, how much should I use per acre? Fescue grass, not far from you in north Georgia are
Thanks for the video Doc.
Can you use Image in Bermuda grass??? And do I have to kill everything before it’s growing season (weeds and grass)? TIA 😊
Hey Doc, when do you put preemergent down? Is it when the average temp is approx 50 or if you get a spike of 50+? According to soil maps my temps hit 64 on 3/13 but my 24 hour average is only 44.7.

Is centipede lawns treated the same? I have a mostly centipede lawn in coastal North Carolina.

Why do I keep belching like this? Too many carbs. Cut the carbs, see belching disappear! Just a tip. Keep up the good work, Doc!

Doc I live in NJ and have poa triv . New to all of this and the lawn was put in 2020 when the house was built
Any ideas ?
how often are you fertilizing?

20 to 1 he recommends an Andersen product
Sent my samples to auburn for testing also!
Everything looks great super green and alive
I live in Bethlehem Ga. Am i to late to put out preemergent for it to do any good? My yard is infested with henbit among other weeds. I know that the henbit will die off when the temps warm, but i am like i know i gotta start somewhere.
It won't help you now but it will help limit crabgrass, goose grass and other summer weeds
Gotta be thinking about 4-6 months ahead on the weeds
Hey Doc the place is magnificent!
Can you help me with ‘grape hyacinth’ take over? Finally have a yard going following your guide but the grape hyacinth is blooming (beautiful) but it is very quickly taking over. Help!!
I am in south central Oklahoma.

Need to upgrade that bobcat to the zt6000 52/60 in. Will be a noticeable difference.

I thought grass in that area would be lusher especially with the earthworm castings. Any advice on what to do?
Be patient... it will just take longer and also get soil tests done on BOTH areas.
How do you like that Axis 500?
Hello Doc, can granular pre emergent be used more than once on a Bermuda lawn ?
There is an annual limit to the amount applied.
Hey Doc what do you do when you have stumps removed and want grass back?. IT NEVER GROWS HELP.... Make a vid please..
, 5 acres that used to be a corn field and Soy bean What's the first step?Do I do to get grass still growing

Doc, is youtube the only place we can interact with you? I had a few questions I wanted to ask you, but not sure where to ask.
Hey Doc when do you think Andersons may release the DGL? Will you notify the channel through a notification?
Yes we'll do a video
How much pre emergent have you physically put down would you say in two years? Per 1,000 sq. ft. breakdown if possible, liquid ounces. Thanks
Doc, how many yards is that par 3 that runs parallel to the pond?😂
Doc, I am having the yard scalped this week. Should I put down the PGF Complete immediately?
If it's greening up... then yes.
Doc, my results from My Soil tests have come back and the recommendation is Luxe 7-0-7 by Lawnbox. Can I use this in conjunction with my PGF complete or do you have another recommendation from Andersons.
Thank you
I would go with PGF Complete zero phos.

Please don't forget me when you do. My front lawn would be a project with sponsorship help😎
your guide site gives me this error:
Access from your area has been temporarily limited for security reasons.
Doc does your "DOC10" discount code still work for Andersons?
Did you paint the lawn lol looks good
So beautiful property
Gorgeous Doc!! Someday, the wife and I would like our own slice of heaven.
Man how rich are you brah! You have such great grass and absolutely beautiful land/house!!
No hos or blo so can't be that rich.
Must be nice here in Texas we might get rain 5 times a year
Been more than 5 times this year. More is in the forecast this week.
My very thought. Where I live in Texas our annual rainfall is 17 inches a year. We’ve not received that much in years with 2011 being the worse.
It rains in Texas just not where I live that much, if you live in Dallas or Houston area then you probably get more rain then anybody else in Texas

I live in Galveston with the same issue. I used Image from Home Depot and it took care of most weeds but not all. It takes about 5 weeks to kill them
@@AndyKicklighter I believe it’s warm season grass

do you only scape Bermuda grass?
Pre emergent takes time people normally aren’t patient enough
That pond lawn looks long enough for a par 3 golf hole 😂 Try your expertise and make a green in front of the cabin
My phone just added text jon at 6pm ha!
Forget the Leyland Cypress and go with an Arb (Forever Goldy) would look nice there.

You invest a lot of time and money. I would ask what isbyour profession or business if i am not to indiscrete
Lawn not that fresh especially for the time and effort put in. The mower boy could learn a few tips in taking pride as well
