How To Create Stripes In Your Lawn
In today's video I talk about one of everyone's favorite topics, lawn stripes. Some love them, and some hate them, but everyone in lawn care circles talks about them. Striping your lawn is possible with most grass types, but it is far easier to achieve in cool season lawns. There are a lot of theories on how that striping effect is achieved, but in reality it's just caused by the sun's light reflecting off blades of grass that are laid down in different directions.

The Hurricane Missed Us, But Check This Out!
zhlédnutí 3,5KPřed 21 dnem
In this video I show a 4 week update of the lawn post-renovation. The yard has made (almost) a full recovery in the face of this Texas sized heat wave. Luckily, we've been blessed with some rain along the way as well. Bermuda grass's ability to self heal has played a huge role in this recovery! Bermuda is resilient, and if it's warm and sunny outside, it will find a way to grow and prosper. Law...
How To LEVEL Your LAWN Using SAND (Includes 3 Week UPDATE!) | Topdressing for a FLAT Lawn
zhlédnutí 47KPřed měsícem
This video covers how I used mason sand to help level my lawn. The real goal of a sand leveling project is not actually to "level" but to create a flat surface to mow on. Your first step is to mow your lawn down to a low height of cut to make the sand easier to move. I chose to core aerate before applying the sand so I could help with soil compaction and allow the sand to mix better with the ex...
Aerating my Bermudagrass Lawn | Lawn Level Prep Work
zhlédnutí 27KPřed měsícem
In today's video I aerate my bermudagrass lawn. Aerating is the final step in prep work for my lawn leveling project. Aerating, specifically core aerating, is typically suggested in order to reduce compaction in a lawn. Compaction can make it difficult for water and nutrients to reach the soil layer, as well as making it harder for grass to tack down. In order to reduce compaction in the long t...
Verticutting a Bermudagrass Lawn
zhlédnutí 3,8KPřed měsícem
Today I'm verticutting my bermudagrass lawn. The distinction between verticutting and dethatching usually lies within the equipment or more specifically, the reel, being used to do the work. Dethatchers usually have flail reels or tines, while verticutters will have fixed blade reels that can slice through the stolons of the bermudagrass. Verticutting can be used to thin out your lawn when it b...
Bringing Down Height of Cut in your Bermuda Lawn
zhlédnutí 6KPřed 2 měsíci
Today I'm performing a reset scalp on my bermuda lawn. I realize that my grass isn't 3 feet tall, but with bermuda, once you miss a couple mow days, you have to perform a reset scalp to bring your height of cut (HOC) back down. Without scalping, you'll have trouble maintaining a green lawn. Scalping during the growing season is like hitting the reset button on your lawn, and then you can set yo...
Brief Comparison of Warm Season Grass Types | Bermudagrass | St. Augustine | Zoysia

Today's video gives a very brief overview of the three most common types of warm season lawns (especially here in Texas), bermuda, St. Augustine, and zoysia. These turf types can be found in warmer climates across the globe, but each offers there own unique sets of advantages, disadvantages, and challenges.

Should You Mow Wet Grass?
zhlédnutí 17KPřed 3 měsíci
Is it okay to mow wet grass? Well it's not ideal, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. We've been getting a lot of rain in Texas lately and it's been hard to find a good time to mow the lawn when it wasn't wet. Wet grass clumps up, sticks to your lawn equipment, stains your shoes, and makes your lawn more susceptible to disease. Depending on your circumstances though, you might have to...

Annihilate Grubs in the Lawn
zhlédnutí 6KPřed 3 měsíci
It's mid-April and the June bugs are upon us! June bugs by themselves are little more than a nuisance, but June bug larvae can wreak havoc on your lawn.

I picked up this product this afternoon at Lo...

    Curious to know how you keep your Bermuda from going into your neighbors yard? I am in a neighbor that is 99% TTF. I purchased this home last year and the previous owner started growing Bermuda in the lawn and now it taking over my neighbors lawn. I have always had TTF in my previous home but I am thinking about leaving the Bermuda and pushing it next year to fill in the rest of the yard. Thank you for your videos!

      A lot of that comes down to soil quality. He's done a ton of work based on his videos with aerating, top dressing, etc. to improve the ground. I'm sure he's got top of the line products too for keeping up with nutrients.

      @wilsonline90 Před 3 dny

      @@bak3s pgr, high N, iron, healthy well-hydrated plants, and, yes, soil. I transplanted a sample of grass from a bucket to my side lawn. this spot where the soil from the pot was put down has the darkest grass. I'm guessing good pH, considering my soil has high ph. And maybe higher organic which may hold nutrients longer than my sandy soil. the color difference is quite obvious/very pronounced.

    so I'm new to all this fertilizing lol. new to being a homeowner at that so i put down fresh sod back in march of this year. now I'm hooked on getting my grass to stay green year long. ( i know its not feasible in this Texas heat but worth a try for a newbie) however, i wanted to get my HOC low this summer but since i laid sod late i didn't get to establish it until she May officially and by June i was still cutting at 2.5 (tifway 419). now I've worked it down to 1inch looking a little brown and light light green. I'm now cutting twice a week but still not turning green the way i want it. me not reading much into this liquid ferts. i applied my application last night and watered it in immediately. how long after i did that app and watered in can i reapply since i messed up? TIA

    OK, I have a question I mow my yard every other day. It looks really good. Imagine a flat top haircut perfectly flat and then you can see a little tufts in the lawn. They’re like runners and if I pull one up it’ll easily pull out. Do you know what this is and I have Bermuda I’m in Texas.

    Never cut your grass that low if you want a beautiful lawn. Always raise the deck to its tallest position. Your grass will stay nice and green and it feels better to walk on.
