- I'll show you how to save your grass using a few simple steps including dethatching (power raking), aerating, top dressing, overseeding and fertilizing. It has been incredibly rewarding to watch my lawn improve over the past few months. It's far from perfect, but the fall lawn care I did gives me hope for next spring. You can renovate your yard too if you follow these simple steps.

"Aim for perfection but happy with improvement" I like that...
The Lowe’s ad had me dying 😂😂😂😂
that little bit is what made me hit the subscribe button
i was your 100th like
He didn't even believed that someone likes this store.
I watched this video specifically for the Lowe's Ad :) .....awesome kick in the nutz to HD !!

Are we just going to ignore how much of a badass that truck is
Please don't! Tons of videos on the channel about it. :-)
I subscribed after the Home Depot & Lowe’s skit 😂
Juan Escutia same
Me too😂🤣
lol same
Just subbed. You seem like a down to earth good guy that knows his stuff. Ive been researching alot about lawns the last 6 months. Really enjoy your content man ✌ im a lawn fanatic as well, and I own my own pressure washing and lawn business. The end results are alwats satisfying 👌
Same exact thing happened to me at Home Depot when I brought a rented aerator back... I got lucky that the guy behind the desk was nice and let me use their hose to rinse out the tines!
The home depot to Lowe's switch was hilarious! Then when you proceeded to give the home depot slogan I died! Great video.
I love how you completely betrayed Home Depot mid video.
😂 yeah well. They had it coming! 👍
They deserved it for $75 just to hose those things off. WTF!!!
@@JasonExplainsThings that was hilarious, you must be too nice if you actually paid that fee, I would have asked for the manager and told them what the other employee told you and worst case scenario only paid half the fee, thats some BS =]
Hey! I work at the rental department and it really varies on who the team is and if they coordinate with each other on what their cleanliness scale is on each tool. Honestly, I wouldn't charge you either since those tines are meant to get dirt on them anyways. Usually I would say what that guy told you in the first place, and making sure there is no chunks of dirt underneath. I would go back and talk to their management to get that refunded.
But I see this was almost months ago. But next time, fight it off!
Dude that was hysterical!!! That cleaning fee is insane. You’re a funny guy love your videos
Ages ago, I worked at a Home Depot tool rental center. I was always very clear in making sure people knew the cost of the cleaning fee for the equipment they were renting prior to signing the rental agreement, and we were all on board with encouraging an effort over demanding perfection.
We were going to have to clean the equipment anyway as part of getting it rent-ready again, and we just wanted to avoid spending huge amounts of time doing so. 99% of the time, equipment would come back plenty clean enough. We only ever actually charged the cleaning fee if equipment came back with no sign of any sort of attempt to clean it.
Aerators were, in particular, always a nightmare. Getting those plugs out was a challenge for us, let alone a DIY home-gamer that didn't have a pressure washer. We were never too particular about it, because realistically, with a 4-hour rental, folks weren't going to have time to get their project done AND bring the thing back spotless. Just hose it down as best you can, thank you for choosing Home Depot, and have a wonderful day.
Sadly, the cleaning fee is an entirely subjective thing. Prior to the Rental Toolbox software update, we could adjust the cleaning fee to whatever dollar amount we wanted. With the update though, it's all or nothing. Perhaps that's changed in the years since I left, but I always felt like it was a critical omission. My goal was to always make sure you came back to rent again. There's more revenue in earning your trust and repeat business than there is in ludicrous margin generators, and while I no longer work for Home Depot, from one human being to another, I'm sorry you had that experience. :(
Your lawn looks absolutely amazing! I just bought a house back in October of 2020, and it's gonna take a few years to get the lawn looking decent, so I really appreciate your video!
Good info! Yeah it all comes down to being consistent. I returned one piece, cleaned pretty well, returned with no trouble... then ran and got the aerator, cleaned it the same way... and you know the rest of the story. I was annoyed but not angry... and the story in this video is likely why it has so many views so I'm pretty happy it happened at this point. :-)
@@JasonExplainsThings what the name of the song you used at 10:50?
As I started needing more from home improvement stores, I started to se how Lowes is the much better option. You made the right decision Jason, and now you have another subscriber!
Just because of this video, I will be shopping at Lowes more often now.
This is SUCH a fantastic and helpful video! I am a first time homeowner and learning lawn care on my own, going to start weeding and getting ready to overseed. Your video was very informative and I feel more confident I'll be able to do it myself (my lawn is not even 1/4 the size of yours). Thank you!
Love this video man. Needs more views!
I love how comprehensive this video was. Thanks
Fantastic overview! Thanks for the instructions and humor. Especially the dig on Home Depot!! Loved the video.
Really cool video, thanks! Just a small nit-pick, I recommend putting seed down before putting down the peat moss. The peat moss will protect the seed from birds, hold the seed in its intended place, and keep the seed damp as you water it. I'm sure doing it the way you did works okay too, because the seed will hopefully make it's way down under/into the peat moss, but that'll probably help to do seed then peat moss.
Just purchased a home and was looking for videos on how to restart my backyard. I'm a newbie to the lawn game and your video helped me out big time! New Subscriber!
Thanks for keeping it real. So true, this ISN'T a competition, just looking for continuous improvement in my lawn (our lawns).
Beautiful. Very green and filled in. Your lawn looks happy.
I realize this is an old video, I'm doing my lawn now and ran across your video. Great job, very informative. One thing....as for Home Depot, I would NOT have paid any $75 cleaning fee!!
I would have talked to a manager, next time put up a little fight for your rights as a customer. Great looking lawn! Thanks for the info.
The moment I saw you light Home Depot up in the middle of the video.... you got a big ole like! 🤩
Very informative and entertaining video, i’ve been strugling with my lawn for the past ten years searching internet for good information, seen a LOT of videos, and yours were among few that was easy and fun to watch!
Keep up your good stuff!
😊
Regards from Sweden 🇸🇪
I must say you are very inspirational and made lawn management look easy. Great job!!
Wow I live in the same town u do. That's amazing. Can't wait to see this lawn and more of ur videos. Morganite is awesome I use it myself in my lawn.
by the description on the bag, it seems to be sewage sludge. a small composting toilet would do the same job.
Jason, great job on the lawn...hopefully you do the Spring routine again like you did last year on video...love the old Dodge...those were tanks!..new sub!..very entertaining!
Not only informative but entertaining, really enjoyed how engaging this video was . Great Job on the lawn !
Honestly men from all the videos I watched, this was amazing congrats , grass looks amazing . I’m excited to see how my grass turns on
That's insane, $75!! Lowes for the win! Haha. Mannn, I wish we was neighbors! We could be lawn buddies 😁
Great video! Loved the Home Depot part... my fiancee works there and will think it's hilarious!
Keith Parrott Ha! Yeah, it’s all good. I thought it was a pretty funny encounter.
Thanks for these types of videos. You helped me transform the yard on my first home =)
I first watched this video in March. It's now early September. I've been waiting since spring to try this. Just power raked and aerated today (exhausting). Seeding tomorrow. Thanks for the strategy.
I’m disappointed in Home Depot, that was a ridiculous as if it was broken or something. Thanks for the heads up
Lawn looks great, and I’m definitely no expert, but I would’ve put the grass seed down before the peat moss. It gives it a little extra surface contact and retains moisture above the seed.
Indeed. Or at least take the seeds into the peat moss.
Thanks Jason, I am taking your advice, and so far it is working well, I have lots to do still, but my grass is getting better, thanks for the videos!!
Bro your videos are amazing. You break down everything perfectly and make it simple for beginners. Thanks
I live in an apartment and have been watching your videos! 😂 I move to my first house in May! Yaaayyy!
Awesome! Congrats. Yard work is my favorite "chore".
Yesss! Congrats
""we aim for perfection but we are happy with the improvement""..love it!!!
Hey, Jason thank you for providing these amazing tips for starting the lawn. I'm gonna be starting to revive my lawn currently and I just want to make sure that it will work during the current season which is early spring here in Louisiana.
I have started lawn renovation in my backyard by following your procedure.
Your video is awesome. Thanks.
How has it been. What did you use
😂😂 love how you switched up on home depot lol
shouldve spoken to a manager, the employees have no idea what theyre talking about 80% of the time
but 99 percent of the time the customers wrong.
Nobody likes a Karen
No way I would have paid that cleaning fee if they other guy had already explained the cleaning process when picked up!
I don't usually complain about fees and the like, if I fucked up, fine. Consequences are a part of life. But 75$ for a cleaning fee???????? You bet your ass I'm getting a manager.
Karen?? Is that you?
If I had your lawn I would be yard of the month in my neighborhood for life. 💪
Great job! Thank you for all the great how to information. I loved the ribbing of home depot (they are a little greedy sometimes). This video was very enjoyable to watch and never boring.
Dude, that’s when you ask for a manager. $75 to hose off those tines? That should take all of about 4 minutes! Some people don’t make that in a full 8 hour day, wtf. I would’ve raised hell.
i actually laughed out loud when you said the home depot slogan instead of the the lowes slogan, then you added that cheeky clip haha
LOL... a complete honest mistake too.

Wow! I can't even get my 15x15m garden green.
That looks amazing!
You are amazing. Thank you sooo much Jason.. I enjoy your videos. You crack me up. Thank you again..
Home Depot, pays employees $12/hr, charges customer $75 for 30 minutes cleaning of power tool rental. Fkkkk that.
@@poussinmoumoute for full time?? In belgium minimum student job wage is 7€/h. But if you get something decent, like working in a bakery you can get up to 13
I myself woulda been cleaning it at their garden center lol
jake jenning take it to the bathroom
Hi, I just subscribed your channel not only because of the great content but your humbleness too.
May God be pleased with you.
I love your energy and the amount of work you put in your videos. Thanks
Gardening Summer on July
Autumn Event on Oct 2019
We definitely had a crazy fall and winter this year, at least in Eastern Washington, snow in September then mild temps until January and now heading in to spring is now back up in the 50s itching on 60. How did the lawn restoration hold up?
That cleaning fee is ridiculous! Lol
Fantastic job Jason. I have enjoyed watching your videos. 😊😊👍👍
I loved the Home Depot Lows skit! You did a Great job making it informational and funny/entertaining at the same time
I need this here in NJ. I have a de-thatcher rake and am getting a good work-out. Will definitely rent the aerator (from Lowes). But, can I spread garden soil over the patchy area instead of peat moss?
I'd recommend peat moss or top soil for the patchy areas. That's what I've had good results with. And yes dethatching by hand is a ton of work. If you have a small yard the Mantis tiller I used in my spring lawn video works great. If it's huge you'll want to rent a big one. Thanks for watching Sam!
Jason Explains Things bb nik km
@@jasonk3038 OR ANY BAG FROM LOWES., LOL
Hi Jason I’ve got miracle grow patch magic that I’ve sprinkled over my part of the lawn that never really gets any sun is it still ok to sprinkle compost on top of the seeds ?
get from Taylor rentals
I always take a picture when I rent equipment. If there’s an issue I whip out the picture.
Same. Learned that lesson in the military. They issue you dirty equipment and want it back pristine.
Don't think so.
Thank you for your elaborations on your lawn techniques. You’ve definitely inspired me to aim for perfect. Hopefully I’m happy with my improvements lol
Thanks for putting this up. My lawn is about the same way yours was. Will be fixing it next summer.
BTW new subscriber :)
I love the diss to HD. They screwed me for the last time years ago.
this guy: gets mad at home depot for overcharging him
also this guy: “do you know how much i love lowe’s?”
Lol
You had me dying with the Lowes plug!😂😂I really appreciate you making this job not so intimidating. I'm now ready to battle my backyard!
You are a nice person and the video was very helpful. all the best!
Nice job .... I can’t find milorganite, so I’m going to try Ironite for the first time to achieve the deep green color and lawn improvements.
Ironite works! Ive used it for 2 season's now. It will DEFINITELY green up the grass. Dosen't really have any nutritional benefits though.
FYI... poking fun at Home Depot doesn’t mean I hate them or the employee that was a bit “goofy.” Comments that swear about her or that she should be fired will be erased. 😁✌️
Yeah, she was just doing her job as trained. I pity her for having to work there.
Great content Jason. I love the way you explained it and demonstrated the tools. Keep up the good work. Inspired by your editing work as well and might use some of the tricks on my own channel. Thank you again!
You know you really helped me, You actually explained what you did and explained the steps of what you need to use or can do.
Awesome. I have a follow up video I published last fall if you want get enough. :-)
You need a toro timemaster
That’ll make cutting grass waaaaaay quicker
It’s a 30 inch push mower
Milorganite is a good product. I'd imagine that you'll run into some potassium deficiency problems if you run it exclusively, though. I haven't seen your soil tests so no way of knowing that however. I love me some potassium; it'll make your grass stand up straight.
Potassium is essential for ANYTHING to stand up. Hence why seafood is rich in it and the effects are great.
On the bright side, that yard is a perfect candidate for a renovation.
Thanks for the video man, definitely reassured my way of going about things!
I would not have paid that extra charge! The previous Home Depot guy explained you needed to clean the outside only! I would of stuck to my guns on that.......if she kept on insisting then I would ask to see the floor manager.......it was their mistake.....they need to rectify the problem! Simple 👍
Exactly!
King Alfred 👌
I would of just asked for a manager explained the situation and refused to pay. Zero chance I’m paying a $75 charge for their lack of instruction/detail.
yep. zero chance! he's too nice
mikebing1230 Home Depot would never see $75 from me or I would return everything I ever bought there.
Karen: can i speak to your manager
"Refused to pay"... sure tough guy they would have just charged your credit card you left for the deposit
Geez dude I was expecting you to have a crazy amount of subs but here I check and you have 19k. You deserve more. Keep up the great work and keep at this youtube thing because you're great at it.
The home depot (dipo? depo? Idk I'm european) story was hilarious. Thank you sir, aaaaand I'm subscribed. Well done.
Come to think of it, Lowes is closer to my house than Home Depot is... hmmmm lol
just clean everyting and give it back as clean as it was when you got it
Awesome video. I just moved to a house for the first time with a decent yard and I've been binging on lawn care videos. You're the only one I'm subscribing !
Thanks. Another great lawn care channel is Ryan Knorr's. Probably the best and most thorough videos about improving your lawn out there. ua-cam.com/channels/Gmz1qSJjvBPluouoOj1Qkg.html
Great job!!! Hard work pays off.
"its better than ryobi..." Anything is better than ryobi lmaooo
I drive farther to go to Lowe's because Home Depot sucks.
Us too! And besides all the other reasons (they tend to mount up), our closest HD just lets people waltz in w/o masks on during Covid. Good place to stay away from on all counts.
Wow! Great result. Very informative.
Your video was very helpful because I did the dethatching and aerating but the weather turned cold again with night temps in the 30's. Thanks for sharing your experience with Home Depot. We all have a love & a hate relationship with this company.
I like how I watch all of this lawn care shit yet I only mow my yard and call it perfect
30 second intro? Ain't nobody got time for that.
i need to do this in my garden also! Thankyou for show us step by step. I also just subscribe to you videos! Good job Man
Love you effort. The lawn looks amazing. 👍👍👍👍
If I was to spray weed killer in my yard I would have nothing but dirt
That's what I did and the only grass left is what's creeping in from the neighbors yard. 😁
@@eliseintheattic9697 lol that's bad maybe it will leave your neighbors and come to your yard prime area to grow lol
Some of that “dead stuff” didn’t look so dead.
Dead stuff and weeds.
I just love this video. Thank u
Thanks for the video.....looking at how you transformed your yard gives me hope for mine!
SOOOO LOVE KOBALT! Nice grass.
Hey man love your clip
Thx
Grts from belgium 🇧🇪
I really appreciate all these tips, almost as much as I appreciate Lowes!
😂
Home Depot is the worst placed I’ve worked at. I finally let that out!
Amazing video I will be doing this in the fall in TX
Look much better. Good job. Am going to do it in my yard.
Jason, thanks for all the help!!!
Wow, this is amazing!
