- The transformation of my front lawn and the overall appearance is thanks to perennial ryegrass, but will it work for you in your lawn? In today's #askRKLC video I got a question recently about using #sissygrass a little farther south of me and I wanted to touch on the pros and cons of ryegrass and why it may or may not be the best choice for you depending on your location.

Is there a user friendly way to print out the schedule? I have your kit and cool season grass. .
You all probably dont care at all but does any of you know a tool to get back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb lost my login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
@Luka Elliot Instablaster =)
@Bradley Dax I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Bradley Dax It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my ass !
Ryan, with Spring nearing, maybe do a segment on grass leaf identification 101 for those starting out with no idea what they have. Show close ups of cool season leaves and how to differentiate. Maybe Allyn could cover warm season. Make overseeding recommendations (if needed) based on post IDed results. ~ mike
Ryan ain't work with any second rate tubers lol
Starting seeding my new lawn with tall fescue. I wasn't pleased so I overseeded with rye and now it looks full and amazing. Thanks, Ryan!
where you live
I live in Topeka. I have found that given the heat we deal with (and drought for those of us without in ground sprinkler systems) in the summer, rye grass really starts going dormant in early to mid July. It will start to come out of dormancy in mid to end of September. I will say this though, it does very well in spring/fall, and in mild winters it keeps the lawn looking good. Because of all these factors, I tend to keep my rye in the backyard where I have lots of tree cover. In early spring it greens up and fills in well before the canopy develops, and the shade helps it last longer. Unfortunately, the trees have a tendency to drink a lot of water, so as we get into June-July the rye is not only going into dormancy because of heat, but also due to dry conditions. My front/side yard gets good sun though. This past fall I did an aerate and heavy overseed of some fescue blends and KBG. That KGB is really looking really good, and has managed to make some progress during some of the warm periods we have had. Between the KBG and the fescue, I am expecting domination of my neighbors lawns. Also a recommendation to this Topeka guy... If you haven't yet tried the seaweed and humic blend, give it a shot. I put it down about a month after my overseed, and it really helped the new growth to explode, and I think it is what will help the lawn to come out strong this spring.
I also live in topeka. I want to do what you did there , I also like to take a look of what you got 😆
@@sovereign7034 I actually switched to kentucky bkluegrass and tall fescue in my backyard.
Another Topekan here…thanks for sharing what has worked for you. I’m just getting started on fixing up my ugly lawn and was looking for some direction. This helped me answer a ton of my questions. Cheers!
I'm up here in the PNW, off the Puget Sound, and yes, PR is fantastic grass here. It's odd, the home developers lay down TF sod with new homes. Then moss sets in during cooler rainier season, and if the owner doesn't aggressively take care of it, clumps of the TF die, and you wind up with a very lumpy lawn filled in with moss, because the healthy TF doesn't spread and the moss has no competition. But overseeding with PR or a blend of PR and TF makes for a very robust self-healing lawn with normal maintenance (though you'll have to stay up on killing back the moss during the rainiest seasons).
Yeah it’s pretty difficult to keep in Kansas City. Lost some in some extended 90F+ periods without rain even though I was irrigating. So easy to germinate in the fall but really can’t take the full sun heat too well where I’m at. I have a hybrid lawn though with rye kbg and tttf and it looks pretty great most of the time. I overseed in the fall with rye and tttf. The rye brings a magnificent color into the stand imo.
Hello there . I see your comment and seems to be from 2 years ago and it also seems that you live in Kansas if iam not mistaken I live in topeka ks and my question is simple. What did work better for you all year around with your grass. What do you have on your yard? I just bought a house full of weeds all kinds and iam going to do a complete renovation and I want it to do it for the first time and last just one job do it right and keep it that way don't have much money to invest in my patio but I want to do the best one time only. So what you recommend ?
@@sovereign7034 I’m also in Topeka and getting started on my lawn. I’d love to hear about your progress and what worked and what didn’t. Thanks!
You've done a great job with that ryegrass Ryan!
Good info Ryan. Your new format, which provides lawn content during winter, is appreciated.
I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma and our summers are brutal. My yard is perennial rye and I only have a shitty yard in about July and August. After that, my yard rocks! I'm also mowing at 3', to 3 1/2. Milo, and a touch of nitro if I want to push it, but not in summer.
I have mix 50/50 Perenyal rye and KBG they works great cos i have shades and sun areas all i have to doo is cutting longer in heat shorter in lower temps
where do you live? Im in Stlouis and planning on putting down that mix.
Canada Montreal pretty cold and hot weather we have...and I ordered seeds from Brett Young they doo sell in US/Canada fully coated seeds premium seeds
Somewhere.....Connor Ward is laughing at the thought of Sissy Grass being planted anywhere else in the USA. Can't wait for the 2020 season buddy, thanks!
He knows its the best though
bought home last september(wisconsin). has a decent sized lawn. and i been watching your videos like crazy and i learned so much about my lawn from you. i just thatched, plug aerated and overseeded my lawn with rye grass last saturday. send me some luck cuz im really hoping i can transform this lawn into something beautiful!
How did your yard turn out? Been about a year since you commented, I live in wi as well.
Great video. I’ve noticed ryegrass has some really good color to it as well. Honestly some of the newer cultivars I have planted had a more blue-green color than my KBG.
Planted ryegrass last year looked amazing til mid June and it burned up. Replanted with fescue and back to good again lots of fertalizer and water. Central Indiana. Same thing at my gf yard. It does grow in fast and responds well to fertalizer and water but one mistake of missed watering for couple days or mowed too low and hot outside and it burns. I replaced with ky 31 and other fescue and will report back so far so good
Yes best to try and keep it cut higher during the hot months and try to help it with water retention. Cheap timed spickets can be used to try and keep it cool and let the grass relax in evening and overnight.
Ryegrass Will get Seeded within 2 weeks, can’t wait to get started after our full garden renovation💪🏻😁
Another thing that helps with the summer heat stress on the PRG is an irrigation system... Basically a "must have" for my area from June through mid-September no matter what type of grass you're using. I've been keeping to a blend of 30% Dwarf Kentucky Blue/70% Dwarf Perennial Rye for a couple of years and I find it easier to maintain a deeper green during the stress periods. Also, we tend to get less major snow accumulation in Toronto than our neighbours in parts of New York, so the "winter Kill" without a constant cover of snow is harder on PRG. I believe the small amount of KGB helps me get a deep green look quicker in Spring.
Great job! I know a lot of us wonder about whether or not something would work here or there... Thanks for educating us on your beloved sissy grass. 😎
What part of the country are you in?
I am in missouri giving my front and side yard with only rye. Got some plans to try and keep it alive in the summer. My side yard has mostly part shade and I am not worried about that portion surviving. We have hot humid summers so great to find out how it works.
@@lewis1180 South Texas.
I'm in the mountains of North Carolina, 3500-4000 feet elevation. It never reaches 90 here and only 10-15 days around 85. Most of summer is 70s to low 80s. I'm about to overseed a few lawns with your perennial rye. I'll be aerating first, but probably won't be topdressing. I'll also be mowing these lawns with a push reel mower. I'll let you know how it goes.
Stuff would fry here during summer. Nice vid
I love your grass.
I’m going over to the Grass Pad in Olathe, KS this weekend to pick up some of their MachoMix grass seed. I’m going to try a winter dormant oversees to try and kick some early color into my yard.
I live north of Topeka almost to the Nebraska border. Rye grass will grow here just fine, during the heat of summer it will be the first to go dormant and brown out before fescue. Best to mix the rye and fescue together so they compliment each other.
I live in Kansas about a hour west of Topeka. I switched from TTTF to KBG, wouldn't try PR due to the high summer heat of kansas.
Great video that I wished I'd watched 12 months ago. I'm down hundreds of dollars in product, seed and water trying to keep a PRG lawn alive when it clearly can't handle the weather here in Melbourne. Despite my hometown being labelled a cool, temperate climate in Australia that clearly is not measured to the same standards that PRG requires lol
Melbourne is a funny one, cops so much hot weather in summer than crazy cold weather. Abit like Tassie but on a more extreme both ends I think.
That's strange because when I look up your climate it appears it actually gets warmer here where I am even compared to you. It could be a lot of factors though as well so it's just hard to say for sure.
@Jonny Glover ... How far are you from Benny at “ Lawn Tips “ he uses PGR successfully.
@@-What-are-your-thoughts I'm in Tasmania so we have perfect weather for pgr.
Here i am in south Texas planting ryegrass in mid-late April. Three days post-seeding i've already got 1-inch blades poking up! I'm not expecting any miracles but i wanted something quick germinating to help keep the soil in place after i leveled my small lawn.
I own a lawn care business specializing in fertilizing and chemicals and overseeding fescue lawns in upstate SC and it's a tuff area at times in summer heat and drought conditions but Ive had a PRG lawn for the past 8 years but it struggles July and Bermuda comes hard, I luckily have full access to fungicides 😆😆
I finally figured out what PRG means! Perennial Rye Grass!
I've been watching your videos for a couple months now. I live in SE New Mexico. I recently renovated my lawn. Killing, tilling, levelling, rolling, and planting. I was told by a local seed company that bermuda was the best for this area's climate. This is my first attempt and believe in your expertise. What are your thoughts?
Yeah bermuda would be good for that area
Really like this format of videos. Hope you continue to put them out.
I just seeded my yard with your prg from stover here in Santa Barbara ca. I’ll report back in a while to let people know how it holds up
Great coaching Ryan😎👊
Biggest problem up here in the Pacific Northwest for me and my lawn buddies with perennial ry grass is clover. Man it just doesn’t want to die in this climate. Really tough to get rid of
My largest problem in Western Oregon is Moss. PRG thins out a bit during our wet season(October to April) and moss can take over with how everything stays so wet and overcast. Its funny he mentions PRG for PNW, while it does grow well here i find myself going away from PRG to KBG because im tired of overseeding every year, because its hard to always get the same seed and you have grass that grows fast and grass that grows slow making your yard look bad 2 days after you mow it.
Good video. I live 30 miles east of Topeka. I think prg may be tough here in summer. I like the idea of a test plot though.
Great video brother. Love the widescreen look! Super good!
I have Champion GQ Perennial Ryegrass surrounding my putting green and as my chipping area in Maryland. IF you have a quality fungicide program it will do great but it will face disease pressure. I use almost the same fungicide program on the Ryegrass as I do on my bentgrass greeb. I simply stretch the applications longer.
So very helpful! Thank you!
In Arizona I seed with perennial rye in October and I over seed with Bermuda in the spring.
I love the look of ryegrass but I live in Florida... what grass do you recommend?
Sissygrass is my favourite too. although I am mixing some KBG into the lawn. Hoping it will fill the occassional barespot that turns up.
Great thought process.
Looking forward to your opinion on the KBG midnight this summer. I think you'll be pretty impressed. The only downside of KBG is its so slow to establish, but nothing good comes quick right?....:)
Rye comes in quick and it's awesome :)
I live in So California where it gets warm of course- I love love the look of this perennial rye grass- what would be your suggestion for my area or which grass would you suggest as something close to the look of this grass please?
You would likely be looking at Bermuda or zoysia
Hi Ryan, great videos! What do you think of the Barenbrug RPR Gras. i use it since 4 Weeks and it looks very fantastic on 22 mm. Greatings from Berlin Germany . now we have 12 Celsius
Hi.. I would like to know if ryegrass will spread. I live in Michoacan State in Mexico. My lawn is very small, so watering is no issue. All I want to know is is ryegrass will spread, or I have to seed again. There is very small spots with no sprouts of grass, and that’s why I want to know if I have to overseed again or It will spread. Thanks and greetings from Mexico.
I just planted my new yard in a mix of Home run PRG, Stellar 3GL, and Fastball RGL. Looking forward to seeing how it handles the summer here in southern PA. I’m with you though. I love the look of PRG. I’ll put up with the lull in July/August.
Worst case is those months do some damage and you do a little overseed early fall and back in business in no time!
How’s it looking today?
@@PNWLawnGuy pretty good so far. Still the best lawn in our area. I could see if taking a hit next week in the heat with no rain though. Overall, I’m happy with it. Looking to start over seeding with Barenbrug Turf Star RPR.
Nice video. Thanks for the tips.
Put me down some more sissy grass a couple weeks ago and getting new grow. Had a quick freeze once a week ago but didn't seem to hurt it. Getting another in a couple days followed by 70 degree days here in DFW. Existing grew an inch in a week with the freeze. Now if only I did have time before the heat and seed for KB. Only 7 months to go before Project Blue Book/Grass.
I'm very interested in your project so keep up updated!
Bam!
George, good Wednesday evening 😎☕️☕️
trevor muggeridge Happy Thursday to You!😎👊☕️
Great job as always man!!
I live South Carolina and have a Zoysia, Centipede, weeds, mix without irrigation. That being said my lawn looks excellent right now Heche of all the rain. I'm thinking of planting winter rye, but I'm not sure if I should without irrigation. Id love your opinion.
I live in South Carolina and the summer fries rye grass. Good for over seed for Bermuda for the winter.
I threw rye down in the winter in Cali and within two weeks it was about 3” it growsss fast! Now approaching summer idk if I should keep it going or mow it down and throw a warm grass down to zoysia or Bermuda. It only and the cuz I scrapped the entire yard with a Rotar tiller from scratch.
How’s your rye holding up? I’m getting ready to seed it but kinda nervous
@@alceja3522 I threw zoysia down for the summer. The backyard is all dormant which is rye.
@@ernestolupercio3168 what party of CA bro?
Could this turf become a Wimbledon type grass court? Apart from being flat, what else would be required?
Hi Ryan ...I live in south Carolina and have a new yard. I have fallen in love with your channel and your love for perennial ryegrass. My yard have a few patches of tall fescue but I really want to switch to perineal ryegrass. Can the two be mixed? And if I choose to plant perineal ryegrass this fall can I overseed with tall fescue in spring?
So sorry you have such a messy neighbor. Your lawn is amazing!
My yard is a mixture of bluegrass, tall fescue and perennial rye. I mow it high (about 3.5") and the yard looks great except for the rye grass seed heads that grow next to the sidewalk and other isolated areas. Unfortunately, the seeds have spread and taken over a larger area that dies out in the heat of summer. Based on what I have seen in your videos, if I mow shorter, will it stop the rye from going to seed?
Thank you sir for your video ...could you please help me with my lawn issue ....I have a half acre I put dow rye grass from TSC store in May of this year and it came up beautiful and full I mowed it twice then the Georgia heat arrived and I woke up a couple days after I mowed it the 2nd time and everything is dead only I see is dirt .....what happened ? why did it die ? im sorry im. no lawn expert
So Midwest (MI) sounds like a great spot to use this sissy seed 😂👍💯
When you overseed do you just dethatch/scarify, seed and roll it or do you add top soil as well?
Oh and what kind of weed killer can I use with the premium ryegrass
I live on the Indiana Kentucky border and I'm going full sissy grass in most of my yard which is mostly shaded in the summer.
Any follow up to this? I'm thinking of doing the same near Chicago and am curious.
Hell ya. I’m up in the Boston area and looking to go 100% perennial ryegrass this year. I tested it out a little late last season and loved what I saw. I’m planning on using seedsuperstore. They have a few varieties, as well as, a ryegrass blend. Which do you think I’m better off going with? Picking a single strain or going with the blend?
Also...
Just moved in to my new house at the end of August 2019. So I got a few fertilizer applications down and some liquid micro nutrients. I then aerated and overseeded. I noticed the difference before the weather turned but it is definitely not where I want it to be. I still have weeds and moss. My main weed I believe is some sort of dark red ground ivy(haven’t really been able to figure out exactly what it is). My question is should I throw down a preemergent (Prodiamine) coming up here next month? Or should I do a spring overseeding? Just looking for your opinion. Thanks.
I live in Central Oklahoma, what would be your thoughts about overseeding my common bermuda grass?
I redid a section of my yard last Spring, using fescue but also annual rye. I included the latter since it comes up faster and the reason for redoing that portion of yard was due to drainage problem. I should have done more research since the annual rye is sprouting seeds. Does this mean I can expect to see it come back next Spring. And, if so, how can I get rid of it?
Great video Ryan. I am bringing in lots of Parkside Ryegrass into my lawn this year here in MN. I am located east of the twin cities and hope the cold climate doesnt completely destroy it every year but with that being said, I am motivated to put the time in to repair it when needed. This year will be a test run for me.
My turf right now consists of KBG, Fescue and Rye(the normal blend.) I heavily dethatched the lawn last fall and this spring to tear it up a bit so that I could get more Parkside Rye coming through. With 4 children I didn't want to completely start over with the lawn from scratch because I wanted them to have a lawn to play in. Every year I will be heavily dethatching multiple times and will be overseeding with rye to get my results. I'll keep you posted on the progress.
Do you have experience with Barenbrug perennial Parkside Rye? Also what kind of Ryegrass do you use? Great looking lawn brother, love the videos! Keep on rocking the craft my friend! Your lawn looks mint!
Also if you have time, please give me your top 3-5 tips for Ryangrass success 😉
What are your thoughts on regenerating PRG? Since it regenerates it should hold up better through the summer months?
So ryegrass doesn't do good when it gets hot right
I'm in the moutains of western NC and the average high temp in July is 79 degrees. Will sissy grass work in a lawn that gets say 70% shade (I have a few tall limbed up trees.) I would be starting with bare earth. Winter conditions include the possiblity of snow. Each winter we will see a handful of days in the single digits but mostly the temps are in the lower 20s and upper teens.
I’m in west Texas (midland Tx) I had a neighbor grow the P-Rye grass in north Texas and I loved it. My yard in west Tx is small and will be shaded a lot by a fence on three sides and building on other sides so in curious it it will do well. I know west Tx isn’t a good area for it. But since it’s going to be shaded for so much of the day I’m hoping it will be ok.
It may work. Probably the most resistant to heat as far as cool season and tolerant of shade would be tall fescue
Love me some sissy grass
I live in Eastern North Carolina, and plan on seeding my backyard, which is about 8,600 square feet. I really want to plant a fine and soft type of grass. I am huge soccer fans and love seeing the turf of European soccer fields. Perennial Rye grass looks amazing to me and would love to plant this. However, I don’t know how well it would do for me here since it is a cool season lawn. Any thoughts? I am willing to put the work in, but do not want to waste my resources and have a crappy looking yard.
It may work but would probably need a fungicide program in summer
How about using this northern Georgia? We are in the Piedmont area of the Appalachian mountains and our elevation is 2000 feet.
I live in east Ohio, and I also have a dog. I’ve been seeding with Kentucky BG. But I am looking into mixing with perennial ryegrass. I’m afraid that with the dog urine and feces that It won’t do so well. What are your thoughts? I want to add our summers go up to 90 an hour winters get cold, snow on the ground and such
There's so many types of barenbrug (spelling?) Grasses but many recommend it.
I'm in Michigan. Have some areas that have settled especially on my geothermal line field that I need to fill in and plant.
Wondering what's best to use.
Does perennial rye grass do good in a cold shaded climate
I have a question. Can I apply? Weed-B-Gon and Something to kill the grubs at the same time??

You'll need to remove the rye by spraying it out if possible or it will compete with the bermuda for a while this summer.
I live within your city limit. What are the top 3 grass seed that you would recommend for overseeding this fall that I can go out and buy without having to order online? Thanks in advance!

Ryan Knorr Lawn Care, how does ryegrass look when you let grow longer? I know that it looks good at the lower height, but what about at 3”?
@@mahidikarif2123 looks fantastic higher too
what is "overseeding grass" ?
Great videos I just purchased a new home in Sacramento ca what grass seed is best for my area ?
Hi Ryan, I’m in North Dakota. I have an established lawn. It is very thin, and I don’t know what type of grass it is. It looks like a mix of different grass types. I want to over seed the existing lawn. Is perennial rye the best grass type for my climate? I don’t mind having a mix of grass types. I’m just looking for a full well established lawn with no weeds. Thanks!
I found PRG to have awful seed stalks that take all summer to break down at a higher cut.
Looks great at low HOC.
My bluegrass can be quite stalky as well but yeah that time of year is just something you have to deal with
what can we use in the Fort Worth area? TTTF isn't good for this area. I have areas where the dog runs in a circle in my front yard kicking up dirt and grass. I want to overseed. those areas. Also, Carbon X is now gone. what do you recommend?
Where do you rent your tools? You have a local shop or is there a Home Depot rental center near you?
I am starting to get patches of what looks like rye grass in my Kentucky Blue..Is there a way to remove this? Thanks .
I live about 40 miles north of Minneapolis and I am going to aerate and over seed a large lawn (2 acres) this fall for the very first time (we bought this house and the lawn needs work and I am a newb). My lawn is a mess and I have never done anything like this before and I am wondering, with this big of a yard and a limited budget should I get Ryegrass or Bluegrass being this far north?
Hello I'm in Chicago Illinois what is the best grass here not a lot of sun
Hello Ryan. I have a question for you if you can answer.... i overseeded few days ago with the perennial ryegrass and now the town banned the nonessential water till 19 june, do the lawn will survive?? Next rain will be probably in 10 days , thanks a lot
Did you make this video for me? I was just thinking about the sissy grass and if I should overseed my back yard with it
Why is it called sissy grass?
@@lewis1180 it's a joke between the lawntubers, I'm pretty sure Connor started it.
We live in southern Wisconsin and the previous owners treated their grass very poor. Also some roots from our tree has made it hard to grow thick, full grass.. what would you recommend? Rototilling it all up then seed it? If so, what seed or seed combo would you prefer?
If mostly weeds and yuck then just roundup all of it. Dont know if you have warm season crap in your yard but summer is good time to kill everything so you can seed in the fall. As for what grass depends on size and effort you will put into it. If you just want grass then buy a bag(s) at big box store for your situation. If you want more elite seed then you have to figure out what you want and how to make it thrive.
Ive got a PRG lawn with a bit off KBG mixed in. Its easy, strong, fast growing grass, but find it to get thin quick in shaded parts over winter. What are your thoughts on Red fescue? Never seen a lawncare video about that. Its in most premium seedmixes in the Netherlands.
Great video Ryan 👍🏻 i've been trying to figure out what would be a good grass for my lawn and the area around my 1/4th of an acre garden. I live in Tennessee zone 7b. I know perennial ryegrass doesn't spread aggressive so that would be a plus , but do you think it would be to hot here in summer?
You may run into some fungus issues with it in your region. Tall fescue would be more common in that area. Not to say that it doesn't also have fungus from time to time but rye can be wiped out pretty quickly by pythium if you're not keeping up on certain maintenance.
Can you tell me the best seed to overseed with in northeast Ohio? I love the look of Perennial rye also do you need a special mower to cut it?
Nope, no special mower. If you can water it, rye will work
You're gone like the KBG better.💚
Not me sir...ryegrass for life

Hi Ryan, do you know of any recommend products for UK lawns? Been watching your channel since early April and my lawn is looking alot better.
Wish I could help but I'm not sure what is available there for you compared to what we have :(
@@ryanknorrlawncare No problem. Thank you for replying, bring on that spring weather. 😃
Really looking at adding a good amount of perennial ryegrass to my tall fescue/bluegrass blend here in Tennessee. I do have irrigation so I’m crossing my fingers that will help through our hot summers. Curious to how well perennial ryegrass does being cut at 4”-4 1/2”.
It does great when cut at 4
What about Tall Fescue like 80% to 20% Kentucky Blue Grass
What is your thoughts for perennial ryegrass in the wonderful transition belt of Va?
