This will be a hard one to quantify the results for sure but I'm sure I'll be able to feel the difference with my foot and hand by Sept. I'll try me best to fully showcase my findings though.
Would you post links to the updates to this video? This is a very interesting topic. I am currently working on dethatching (or rather scarifying that top most layer you described) my lawn for the very first time, so like 34 years since the lawn was initially planted. Amazingly, not all of it is spongy, but enough to matter. Thanks.
I have a thatch update vid coming out tomorrow but cores I pull this season show the thatch layer looking similar in thickness but much more "soil like". Like the way food waste and leaves slowly transform into compost. The thatch layer looks much healthier right now in my yard. I think the nature's biological dethatch is fine but the other two products seem like better solutions. For me I'm using mostly N-Ext D-Thatch this year except I want to finish off my Lawn Star jug this summer at some point.
I've got my most recent followup video coming out on the 13th. I pull cores to show the difference. You can see thatch layers looking more like soil this Spring. That's after 5 applications, dating back to July 2020 with D-Thatch.
Turf Mechanic. I am a new subscriber. Enjoying your content and is very informative! I’m just curious how did those products work. I’m a few years late to the party. But curious how it worked years later. Thank you
Better late than never 😁 the last video published at my old house on this topic is here: ua-cam.com/video/geWkl23DTbM/v-deo.html I feel like the dthatch worked but a lot of the improvement was also based on better irrigation, fertilization, aeration.
I believe N-EXT dethatch worked the best over a couple years of using it compared to the others but I also experimented with making my own version DIY style which might even work better. I'd stick with NEXT DThatch for simplicity or for optimal performance I'd make my own even though it takes a lot more work: ua-cam.com/video/ESJuzFHh1nc/v-deo.html
Please take a measurement (current length of thatch) before to add the products and compare in September in order to see the progress. Very interesting video!
Great idea Tommie, I'll take the most accurate measurements I can starting now and report back. I did however apply the products two days ago, vid isn't out yet, probably on Tuesday.
I have holes up under trees, which I assumed it was animals. Now my entire yard is like this. I'm so scared it may be something bad like a sinkhole. My back lawn is squishy and my front is a little squishy. The trees with big holes under them also looks like the roots have risen up or uprooted themselves. Anyway are you able to stick your whole finger in the dirty or a poll or something with ease? This is why I feel this way is because I can stick my finger all the way down in Georgia clay with ease and it's damp dirt during the middle of the day with no rain
That sounds like it could be something serious. I'd have a local professional come out to inspect, could be underground pipes bursting too causing moisture- if the problem is getting worse day to day then don't delay getting help on your property to look around. Good luck!
@@TurfMechanic I wouldn't say it's getting worse. Been a couple years, but still squishy. Everyone's yard drains into ours and our yard is down hill and downstairs have one of those drains under our driveway. There all along of tree stumps that were buried
I went to rich persons house yesterday and the kids were having a blast playing on their huge squishy lawn. My lawn is rock hard and not very fun to fall on. I came here looking for how to achieve a squishy lawn lol
Ha! Hysterical 😆 here's your plan for that, take your lawn to bare dirt then instal thick fresh sod and water it lightly every day. Your grass will develop a super thick thatch layer and will be spongy in no time. Not the healthiest for the lawn but that's how it's done.
@@DevLcL yep, that's how you establish sod but to really make it healthy and establish a great lawn you slowly switch over to deeper watering every couple days, then deeper watering every few days, and eventually, super deep watering every 6-10 days. Many people install sod and then never change the irrigation control box to encourage deep root development. Without encouraging deeper roots the sod slowly builds up dead roots and rhizomes at the surface, over time leaving a spongy layer of thatch that traps water and nutrients leaving a difficult growing environment for the grass.
You probably have to interview a few lawn care service providers that spray and ask that they apply a product like this in addition to their more common services like mowing and spraying herbicides. Just ask around.

My lawn is like that
Hi Brian Looking forward to seeing the results! Great topic to tackle in detail
This will be a hard one to quantify the results for sure but I'm sure I'll be able to feel the difference with my foot and hand by Sept. I'll try me best to fully showcase my findings though.
OP
The girl at end of the video is so cute!!!
Thanks Wayne, I think she's a keeper! 🥰
I like that border garden you have just outside your fence. Super-nice transition.

What were your results of the products being put down?

Thank you so much for update
10:00 “we don’t get into the 90’s (degrees) that often” 😮What state do you live? I must move there, I’m tired of this Texas heat
Any updates? Did any of the products work or work better than the others? Great topic, hope to hear back!

Where is the update video? Can't find it
Thanks
Could you tell me which dethatch product worked?

How often can you use liquid aerators?

The cats have actually dug a hole to get under my house so how do I fix that
I have this in my back yard and I hate it. It feels unstable.
I have holes up under trees, which I assumed it was animals. Now my entire yard is like this. I'm so scared it may be something bad like a sinkhole. My back lawn is squishy and my front is a little squishy. The trees with big holes under them also looks like the roots have risen up or uprooted themselves.

@@TurfMechanic who do I look for ? Just a regular. Landscaper?
@@TurfMechanic I wouldn't say it's getting worse. Been a couple years, but still squishy. Everyone's yard drains into ours and our yard is down hill and downstairs have one of those drains under our driveway. There all along of tree stumps that were buried
yeah, its more likely a bed of clay under the top soil not letting the water drain away

@@TurfMechanic thanks! But isn’t that basically how you install sod normally? What is the sod process if you don’t want a squishy lawn?
@@DevLcL yep, that's how you establish sod but to really make it healthy and establish a great lawn you slowly switch over to deeper watering every couple days, then deeper watering every few days, and eventually, super deep watering every 6-10 days.

What type of profession would come out and treat your yard for this?
