    In this video, we will show you 3 simple steps to achieving a golf course lawn.
    Step 1: Mow Low
    The first thing you’ll notice with golf course grass is that it’s mowed low and if you want a similar ascetic you will have to do the same. Contrary to popular belief, you don't necessarily need a reel mower; a regular rotary mower can do the job just fine. However, there's a specific technique involved. We'll discuss how to adjust the height of your rotary mower gradually over several mowing sessions to avoid damaging your grass while still achieving that golf course aesthetic.
    Step 2: Level your Lawn
    Ensuring your lawn is level is crucial for achieving a golf course appearance. Golf courses stand out for their smooth, flat surfaces, and you can replicate this by using simple tools like sand, soil, a rake, and a broom. Today we’ll demonstrate a straightforward method to level your lawn effectively along with tips on how to source the best dirt , soil and sand for lawn leveling.
    Step 3: Fertilize Often
    To attain a golf course-quality lawn, consistent fertilization is key. Instead of applying fertilizer monthly, opt for smaller, more frequent doses to maintain a deep green and uniform color. Today we will use carbon-based organic based fertilizer, the same type utilized by professional golf courses, to help achieve lush, deep green grass.
    Apart from the three fundamental steps we've covered, we're thrilled to welcome a guest who will share two additional tips for achieving a golf course lawn appearance.

    Nice video George. One suggestion for anyone wanting to level your lawn and looking for low spots. I have found the best way to do this if you have a smaller lawn is to use a lawn paint on it then mow your lawn on the mowers lowest setting. When done all the high spots will be cut off and won't see the paint. All the low spots will still show and that is where to dump the sand mix and spread out. You don't have to cover the whole lawn, only the low spots. 😁

      Potting mix won’t level your lawn and you shouldn’t put it down. Overly expensive and will just break down and you’ll be doing the same thing in a year. Just use a sand and top soil mix, far better results than top soil that includes fertilizers and junk.

For plants in the midwest, I like as low maintenance as possible, so I've got small boxwoods for shrubs in the back, everbloom roses for a protective hedge with hosta, day lilies and tulips mixed up front. My yard has varying blooms pretty much straight from April to October with pretty much no maintenance except trimming back dead blooms and leaves in the fall.

    Great video! As far as what plants to add to your place. This is somethings I picked up and started to incorporate into clients landscape beds and gardens. After installing a few beds years ago I learned a lot about sizes, different characteristics ,care and maintenance and so on. After I started understanding what could work and things went well. I learned that for the most part people want to have the beauty of a castle garden but do not have the time to care for it . Everbody's busy working . And a big common mistake people make is they over stuff their landscape beds not realizing how big the plant will be or grow. So many trees and bushes planted to close to the house. Years later these plants have taken over and in some cases hid the house. Also people given the choice would love to have some color signs of life in their landscape beds all year long. you can plant some very nice grasses and bushes that have great fall foliage and some plants that will show thier beauty while others may be dormant. Another thing was to purchase low maintenance plants as much as possible. We started planting lots of dwarf maiden grass and other dwarf hybrids which would maintain a small height and be more manageable. The last thing I did as a Landscape professional was to come up with themes. Themes that will maybe compliment the architecture or style of house and buildings. Many families like to put certain things they like in their yard for display and you can build a theme off that. For example we put in a yard with fence and landscape beds for an retired oil field driller. His custum pipe gates had drill bits on the posts and put a miniature pump jack in his yard along with other oilfield related items which still gets compliments.

    We live in an HOA and our lawn is done for us. One thing we did is told the landscapers to quit riding our lawn and to push it. We also thatch twice a year (or more). We also fertilize a couple of times. We replaced the lawn around our home after we moved in. We wanted Zoysia but had to do Bermuda. It had been dug up about three times between utilities and sprinklers. Best yard in the neighborhood I must say. We tip the landscapers every now and then.

    I moved into a house with a giant lawn and am systematically shrinking the lawn space by adding beds and native plants from our area, which will save me on watering and time so I can focus on getting what turf I have left to look as great as I can. Putting in a good mix of native perennials as a base that will flower different times of the year and leaving space for fun annuals we can swap out and play with every year to try new things. I'm gonna say that it's as fun or more fun of a project to learn about than just turf lawn 😎 (don't @ me bro).

    Thanks for your very informative videos, George!
    I live in the Chicago area (Barrington) and after your video at Tim Wallace Landscaping, I got motivated to finally improve the poor soil quality that I've been battling for 20 years. Come to find that he really is a unique landscape supplier, I couldn't find anyone nearby that did the same type of blending / drying / screening that Tim does. Luckily he offers delivery (I'm about 40 miles away) and I'm sure glad I did this. I purchase 5 cu yds of the Lawn Repair Mix with the Purple Cow Compost plus over seeding with 50/50 Hattrick and Fireball from Twincity Seed. Also bought a Razenrakel leveling rake. Only two weeks later, my lawn is looking absolutely amazing!
    Still have a way to go, I can't wait to see what the lawn looks like after the grass really gets established.
    I can't thank you enough for the tips and motivation!

    Hastas, day lillies and Sedum are my favorite to add to the appeal of my landscaping. They are by far the most resilient plants to accent your yard. In fact, they are almost impossible to kill! and when they out grow the area they are in, you can simply split them and rehome the other portion. FREE PLANTS!!! Flowers are nice, but greenery goes a long way.

    My favorite is those roses. They bloom ALL summer and fall and nowadays they come in every size you need. Miniature, small shrub to big shrubs. Highly recommend the bloomables and the knockout, but whatever fits your needs
    Also, for annuals in pots, I highly recommend proven winners flowers. They really are great.
    Also, Dahlias are GREAT flowers for landscaping, as there are so many types and colors. You can even dig the tubers up and store them if you live in a colder zone (less than 8b)
    Hope that helps!

    Great collaboration, just discovered budget lawns and I really dig both channels. I'm just starting my lawn journey so would it be best to do weed control now and leveling/overseeding in spring? My lawn is pretty jacked up but I'm only aiming for presentable. Also if I buy the bagged leveling material is it 50 bags each for sand soil or 50 total? I basically have 3 1000 ft lawns (lawn-house-lawn-garage-lawn) but I don't care about the one behind the garage.

    I remember commenting about the Purple Cow brand compost in your topsoil supplier video last year. Since that video I have learned Purple Cow compost is now made right here in Madison and I can get it for $50/cu yd. They also sell it by the 5gal bucket if you bring your own buckets, $10 for 6 buckets. Sure beats the $18/cu ft bag they sell it for at local garden stores .

    George, I’m near Peoria Illinois and I’m planning on doing a Reno this fall. I’m torn between kbg/rye mix and straight rye. You being in the same kind of climate and having had both grass types at some point. Which would you do? I plan on putting a plug n go rain bird system soon so I’ll have a diy irrigation system. I want to do perennial rye but wanted to know your opinion.

    • @PrincessCutLawnCare
      @PrincessCutLawnCare  18 днів тому +1

      Hey! To be honest I would go 100% kbg.
      Our ryegrass is very sensitive to heat and you being down in Peoria, it will be even more sensitive since you guys are close to the transition zone. The KBG will do much better down there 👍
      If you do end up using rye just be sure to have the expectation that some might die off in the summer (it happens too us too)

    Is this technique only for spot leveling here and there or is it useful for larger areas?

    With regards to overseeding in the fall with my cool season lawn here in Canada, can I use the quickrete sand and soil also with the grass seeds and my usual fertilizer also ? Or will that be a problem when it comes to the seeds germinating with the sand/soil on the seeds? In the past I usually use Peet moss with the seeds when overseeding but thought about the sand/soil idea.

    George, I’m in Grayslake Illinois and once I had some trees and shrubs established, I filled in with native Midwestern plants from Prairie Nursery in Wisconsin. From that point, ‘She who must be obeyed’ has filled in with her favorite annuals every spring. The advantage of the native plants is that they need no more than regular rainfall to look good. The annuals need a lot of water during the dry periods.
