@@Yoursoul101 5-10k for what? A truckload of top soil here is like $300, you can rent a tiller and any tools you need. Your biggest expense is just time
@@jamalhenra121693 yeah it sucks. You could have a yard full of native wildflowers but a lot of places will fine you if you don't keep your lawn well manicured.
I've gotten the same results by just dragging a spike tooth harrow around to loosen up the dirt, spreading the seed and then lightly raking it in. Then just keep it damp for about 10 to 14 days and walla.
You’d have to dig up all those dominant grasses, I have the same issue in missouri I just let them grown whoever ever they are and then try my best to grow grass around it
@@TrippyWoodStockthat would be the opposite of a solution. Having a native grass lawn is a good thing, if you want Asian or European grasses in your lawn, move to Asia or Europe.
Alot of work i did the whole process took me and my wife 8 days straight..friday half day and 2 full days on the weekend..and during the week from 3:30pm-8pm finally seeing grass sprout after 2 weeks of watering..looks great keep it up
No. I think you can just sprinkle in some fertilizer within the dirt. And if there hasn't been stuff growing there. Water the dirt for a couple days. Then rake in the seed@@marves15
that works if you have decent soil to begin with. in my HOT and DRY area just throwing seeds in will be about as successful throwing it on a concrete parking
I just transformed my red-tide contributing, water hog of a Florida backyard into a food forest. We did the whole hand removal of weeds, seeding, fertilizing, etc with our lawn over the past 8 yrs. Our dogs destroyed portions of the lawn every winter when the grass went dormant. Over the last few years we've replaced 80% of our ornamental landscape with edible plants: bananas, papayas, pineapple, citrus trees, Florida cranberry, Cranberry hibiscus, blueberries, passion fruit, etc. We had a good size vegetable garden on the side of the house and eventually decided if it's not edible or beneficial it's not gonna be in our yard. We just put in another 100sf of beds with cattle panel trellis. It looks gorgeous. All the neighbors thought we were nuts, but now that it's finished with lighting and pathways they get it. It's like being in a botanical garden and the neighbors all reap the benefits with shared produce. The dogs love it. We kept a small area of grass for them to roll in and created a specific potty area for them that's much easier to maintain daily than searching the whole lawn for daily disposal. Residential grass is such a waste of water. The chemicals and fertilizer negatively impact the environment. From the mouth of Pete Kanatis pf Green Dreams, "don't be a grasshole!"
We did something similar. There's a bit of lawn left, but we found better solutions for our yard. Our supply of fresh herbs and vegetables makes us happy with our choices.
Down in Houston. People get real stuffy when I give helpful info. No common sense. A lawn is an artificial environment, kinda like an unruly child. New construction, 600k homes and after 1yr the lawn has returned to the weeds, invaders ready to re-establish and spoil the new laid lawn, usually Augustine. A heavy feeder and moisture lover. These new homeowners won't listen and have no hesitation to spray roundup, shave their lawn when it's dry and scorching hot and over mulch their tree flanks. But don't try to give them free advice, nobody listens to a woman on a bike. No people as dumb as city people.
You know some people actually like to enjoy their lawn that only takes a 1 time project rather than a constant effort to garden. Cleary you don't garden
@@ajbujorian the fact you got mad over someone liking fresh food throughout the warm months and think that a wasteful lawn is better, clearly YOU don’t garden
I’m doing this by hand. Every morning I go out and pull out the weeds and dig up the ground before putting seed down and watering. So far it’s costed me $6 for the grass seed. I’ve gotten a good sized patch of beautiful grass and more to come! It takes time, I won’t lie, but it’s cheap and works just as good. I’ve also gotten a little tan coming on too 😅
That looks nasty bro i hate lawns honestly they are the bane of human existence imagine taking care of something that doesn't take care of you just costs you money doesn't even make you nothing but a bill at the end of the month. If only people started to think instead of follow 😂💀

Luckily, people who think having a green carpet around their house, that requires thousands of gallons of water every week, is beautiful are increasingly becoming a minority. Having a variety of native plants, in which wildlife can thrive instead of die, and doesn't require an insane amount of regular watering, is what all the cool kids are doing.
You must not be aware that in the Pacific Northwest it rains so much they have moss growing on their roofs. No one waters their grass. I live in the northeast, same thing. We never water. Maybe stop repeating nonsense that you hear when you don’t understand things.
@@frisco61 why are you so angry? Who hurt you? Also, unlike you, I don't talk about things I know nothing about. Just because something is true where you live, doesn't make it so for most people. It is a fact that Americans use about 9 billion gallons a day just to irritate their lawns, but regardless, my comment wasn't even about water. It was about us destroying our native grasslands in favor of monocultural grass lawns that don't like or want to grow here, so we dump endless amounts of water and chemicals to keep them on constant life support while destroying native habitats of other plants, insects and animals, all because we were led to believe having a flat empty green space around our house is pretty.
@@frisco61you must not be aware that the Pacific Northwest is a fraction of the whole population 😂 also as someone from the Pacific Northwest…you know rainfall hasn’t been crazy lately at least in my area. My grass is fine up until summer hits then it definitely struggles in 28-35c
@@TheOnlyKontrol That has nothing to do with the fact that people as the OP automatically see the whole US as Southern California or Arizona with no awareness that there are a lot of places in the US where “water shortages” are not a thing in fact we have too much water so we spend time diverting it away from our houses so our basements don’t flood. We never water our grass, ever. It stays green year round even under the snow. So yeah, we’re going to have a lawn. I’m tired of the constant “The sky is falling.” The water we use here affects no one, because all our excess goes right back into the water table, it flows into the rivers, etc. I think those people think that the entirety of the US sits on one giant pool of water that everyone uses up lol. Last thing, if environmentalists were serious, they’d start going after people who choose to live in places are unfit for human habitation. Like the damn desserts of Arizona and Nevada and Southern California, etc. That do not have sufficient water and instead must rely on artificial means like Lake Mead etc. it’s ridiculous.
Damn lol that's waaay tooo much work to grow grass😂. I'd simply put some Compost/fertilizer on soil, give it a good shoveling or mixing up and settling it down, putting some grass sprouts and watering it everyday.. Boom your lawn is ready within a month.

Grass is a type of plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. Their appearance as a common plant was in the mid-Cretaceous period. There are 12,000 species now.[3]A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in places such as lawns and parks. Grass is usually the color green. That is because they are wind-pollinated rather than insect-pollinated, so they do not have to attract insects. Green is the best colour for photosynthesis. Grasslands such as savannah and prairie where grasses are dominant cover 40.5% of the land area of the Earth, except Greenland and Antarctica.[4] Grasses are monocotyledon herbaceous plants. They include the "grass" of the family Poaceae, which are called grass by ordinary people. This family is also called the Gramineae, and includes some of the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae).[5] These three families are not very closely related, though all of them belong to clades in the order Poales. They are similar adaptations to a similar life-style. With about 780 genera and about 12,000 species,[3] the Poaceae is the fifth-largest plant family. Only the Asteraceae, Orchidaceae, Fabaceae and Rubiaceae have more species.[6] The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Uses for graminoids include food (as grain, shoots or rhizomes), drink (beer, whisky), pasture for livestock, thatch, paper, fuel, clothing, insulation, construction, sports turf, basket weaving and many others. Many grasses are short, but some grasses can grow tall, such as bamboo. Plants from the grass family can grow in many places and make grasslands, including areas which are very arid or cold. There are several other plants that look similar to grass and are referred to as such, but are not members of the grass family. These plants include rushes, reeds, papyrus and water chestnut. Seagrass is a monocot in the order Alismatales. Grasses are an important food for many animals, such as deer, buffalo, cattle, mice, grasshoppers, caterpillars and many other grazers. Unlike other plants, grasses grow from the bottom, so when animals eat grass they usually do not destroy the part that grows.[7] This is a part of why the plants are successful. Without grass, soil may wash away into rivers (erosion).
have fun with your non-native monoculture crop that doesn't actually provide any benefits to yourself or the ecosystem. you could *easily* replace this with native clovers and wildflowers have have something significantly more visually appealing and non detrimental to your local ecosystems
Oh ok. What have YOU done for our environment in your garden? I’m sick of these comments. Get off your high horse. I have a gorgeous 3 strain kbg lawn from a high end cultivar, beautiful grass really, just gorgeous. The entire border of my property is filled with local wildflowers and other flowers I like, not including the other several garden beds, I have enough raised beds to produce enough food for multiple families, and I have several fruit trees. I have thousands of flowers, there are bees, bumblebees, birds, and other bugs everywhere. I also do my own composting and produce several cubic yards of it on a yearly basis. How many plants did you plant this week? This year? Your life? Keep judging others though.

Oh, look at Mr. Lawn Lover, strutting around like he's the king of suburbia with his perfectly trimmed grass. Can't see the forest for the trees, can he?

Suit yourself, Mr. Lawn Lover, while the rest of us embrace the wild side.

Grass is one of the most common and recognizable plants in the world. It is a member of the Poaceae family, which includes over 10,000 species of grass, ranging from short, dense blades to tall, feathery stalks. Grass is found in nearly every corner of the globe, from the prairies of North America to the savannas of Africa. One of the defining characteristics of grass is its narrow, elongated leaves. These leaves can range in color from light green to dark green, depending on the species of grass and the environment in which it grows. They are often arranged in dense clumps, creating a lush carpet of green that covers the ground. Grass is also known for its fibrous roots, which anchor it in the soil and absorb nutrients and water. These roots can be incredibly long and deep, reaching down into the earth to find the resources that the plant needs to survive. Because grass is so efficient at nutrient uptake, it is able to grow quickly and cover large areas of land. Grass is a resilient plant, able to adapt to a wide variety of environmental conditions. It can grow in areas with poor soil quality, extreme temperatures, and limited water. In fact, grass is often one of the few plants that can survive in these harsh environments, making it a crucial part of many ecosystems. Despite its hardy nature, grass can also be incredibly delicate and intricate. The individual blades of grass are often decorated with tiny veins and ridges, creating a complex pattern that is both beautiful and functional. These intricate details are often overlooked, but they are a testament to the remarkable complexity of the natural world. Grass also has a number of ecological benefits. Because it covers the ground and absorbs water, it can help prevent erosion and runoff. It also helps to trap carbon dioxide, which can help mitigate the effects of climate change. In addition, grass can provide food and shelter for a wide variety of animals, including insects, birds, and mammals. In conclusion, grass is a remarkable plant that is both ubiquitous and underappreciated. Its narrow, elongated leaves and fibrous roots are adapted to absorb nutrients and water, allowing it to grow quickly and cover large areas of land. Despite its hardy nature, grass can also be incredibly delicate and intricate, with intricate patterns and details that are often overlooked. Whether in a suburban lawn or a sprawling savanna, grass is a vital component of many ecosystems around the world, providing food, shelter, and beauty for all who live there.
Horrible for your local ecosystem and you're fighting a battle against a plant that doesn't want to be where u probably put it. Grow natives instead, stop glorifying grass yards.
Now that's what I'm talking about 👍👍👍🥂Kudos to you. you were smart not to till the old soil. it would have stirred up unwanted roots. lookes beautiful 💖🌱
You are the man doing all that in a day 😉😂 but seriously how long did that all take? I'm working with hard clay with dried up weeds. I rented too small and weak of a tiller. I need the larger rear tine tiller to break this dirt up. My neighbor is saying to sift out all the bits of grass 😮
Wow. Just wow. Kids. He bought topsoil then tilled it in... To the existing topsoil. He would have had the exact same results just dethatching the native grass ( don't do that btw) and tiling the seeds into the existing soil.
If you buy lawn soil you dont need any kind of pre or post emergent because it already comes with it in the mix. I dont have one weed in my lawn since I used lawn soil. StayGreen brand or Scotts they both have it in the mix.

@@frisco61you must not be aware that the Pacific Northwest is a fraction of the whole population 😂 also as someone from the Pacific Northwest…you know rainfall hasn’t been crazy lately at least in my area. My grass is fine up until summer hits then it definitely struggles in 28-35c
@@TheOnlyKontrol That has nothing to do with the fact that people as the OP automatically see the whole US as Southern California or Arizona with no awareness that there are a lot of places in the US where “water shortages” are not a thing in fact we have too much water so we spend time diverting it away from our houses so our basements don’t flood. We never water our grass, ever. It stays green year round even under the snow. So yeah, we’re going to have a lawn.
I’m tired of the constant “The sky is falling.” The water we use here affects no one, because all our excess goes right back into the water table, it flows into the rivers, etc. I think those people think that the entirety of the US sits on one giant pool of water that everyone uses up lol.
Last thing, if environmentalists were serious, they’d start going after people who choose to live in places are unfit for human habitation. Like the damn desserts of Arizona and Nevada and Southern California, etc. That do not have sufficient water and instead must rely on artificial means like Lake Mead etc. it’s ridiculous.
Great job!!😊
Wow ❤ awesome job dude ❤❤
Beautiful!
Looks great.
Urban desert vibes 🛣
Damn lol that's waaay tooo much work to grow grass😂.
I'd simply put some Compost/fertilizer on soil, give it a good shoveling or mixing up and settling it down, putting some grass sprouts and watering it everyday..
Boom your lawn is ready within a month.
My father used to cover the soil withburlap bags after seeding not adding more soil,lightly sprinkle with waterto settle seeds.
I'd re did my lawn and let me tell you it's a lot of work just for 425 ft²
Update: feb 16th 2023
Just to follow up my grass has stayed completly green all winter.
*2023
@@Tazzyone. I've corrected the year thank you..
What grass seeds you used?
@@Whatsgoodeverybody I live in Seattle area the Puget Sound region so I use what's called Scotts Northwest blend and these are blue coated grass seed.. Suppose to be blended for wet weather and shade.
I’m in dry hot humid weather here in the south around Tn, Nc,Sc and Ga area. What would you recommend to use? I thought about using centipede grass seeds for the yard but I also heard of the weather gets tooooo hot it would kill the grass if I use that type of grass seeds
So in food shortage..you can graze all that grass? Yummy
💯🤣
You have food shortage?
Nice job
That's a nice looking look
You're amazing!!😊
Done all this isn't a easy task to complete is a lot heavy labor involved look nice btw 👍👍👍
That is A LOT of work, kudos
What a waste could of had a banging garden
How to grow grass poorly should be the title of the video
You should have done clovers last longer needs less water and the coverage is amazing
I actually did that to my lawn when I lived in San Diego. I had a fun time using the tiller. I also made sure to get some drought proof seed.
A lot of work. But it looks amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Grass is a type of plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. Their appearance as a common plant was in the mid-Cretaceous period. There are 12,000 species now.[3]A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in places such as lawns and parks. Grass is usually the color green. That is because they are wind-pollinated rather than insect-pollinated, so they do not have to attract insects. Green is the best colour for photosynthesis.
Grasslands such as savannah and prairie where grasses are dominant cover 40.5% of the land area of the Earth, except Greenland and Antarctica.[4]
Grasses are monocotyledon herbaceous plants. They include the "grass" of the family Poaceae, which are called grass by ordinary people. This family is also called the Gramineae, and includes some of the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae).[5] These three families are not very closely related, though all of them belong to clades in the order Poales. They are similar adaptations to a similar life-style.
With about 780 genera and about 12,000 species,[3] the Poaceae is the fifth-largest plant family. Only the Asteraceae, Orchidaceae, Fabaceae and Rubiaceae have more species.[6]
The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Uses for graminoids include food (as grain, shoots or rhizomes), drink (beer, whisky), pasture for livestock, thatch, paper, fuel, clothing, insulation, construction, sports turf, basket weaving and many others.
Many grasses are short, but some grasses can grow tall, such as bamboo. Plants from the grass family can grow in many places and make grasslands, including areas which are very arid or cold. There are several other plants that look similar to grass and are referred to as such, but are not members of the grass family. These plants include rushes, reeds, papyrus and water chestnut. Seagrass is a monocot in the order Alismatales.
Grasses are an important food for many animals, such as deer, buffalo, cattle, mice, grasshoppers, caterpillars and many other grazers. Unlike other plants, grasses grow from the bottom, so when animals eat grass they usually do not destroy the part that grows.[7] This is a part of why the plants are successful. Without grass, soil may wash away into rivers (erosion).
have fun with your non-native monoculture crop that doesn't actually provide any benefits to yourself or the ecosystem. you could *easily* replace this with native clovers and wildflowers have have something significantly more visually appealing and non detrimental to your local ecosystems
Lots of wokeness in your comment. I am fairly confident the ecosystem will survive one mans backyard.
Oh ok. What have YOU done for our environment in your garden? I’m sick of these comments. Get off your high horse. I have a gorgeous 3 strain kbg lawn from a high end cultivar, beautiful grass really, just gorgeous. The entire border of my property is filled with local wildflowers and other flowers I like, not including the other several garden beds, I have enough raised beds to produce enough food for multiple families, and I have several fruit trees. I have thousands of flowers, there are bees, bumblebees, birds, and other bugs everywhere. I also do my own composting and produce several cubic yards of it on a yearly basis. How many plants did you plant this week? This year? Your life? Keep judging others though.
Awesome, way to go.
Good job bro
Brilliant thanks
Outstanding
lawns no good. put in flowers or food
Or just allow native plants to take the space back over.
@@MrMonoposon yes!!
No
I bet people who say this shit live in apartments with no garden.
Maybe HE DOESN’T WANT TO. Lawn Nazi.
you know what would be better? A yard full of indigenous plants and grasses instead of a monoculture.
Not if you actually want to enjoy the space. You anti lawn people are so misinformed it's comical
Yea if you like getting lymes disease

Looks nice, but sad. Such a space is ripe for abundance of food, flowers, herbs, medicines, and wildlife….but the bare green lawn looks like all your neighbors now 👍
You’re a beast. How did you find the bandwidth to do all of this?
I used to do those 12-16 yard loads with my buddy in around 3 hours with a wheelbarrow and let me tell ya my back is feeling it lol. Good work out though and nice yard my dude.

Oh, look at Mr. Lawn Lover, strutting around like he's the king of suburbia with his perfectly trimmed grass. Can't see the forest for the trees, can he? While he's busy playing gardener, the real beauty lies in the wild and untamed. But hey, some people just prefer their little green kingdoms over the vibrant chaos of nature. Suit yourself, Mr. Lawn Lover, while the rest of us embrace the wild side.
What's really bothering you? 😂
All of us with plenty of ideas of native grasses & pollinator plants to help with bees, butterflies & wildlife. With tons of you missed a moment for greatness. I have hope that you will look into grants & pollinator projects that offer grant matches to do some fun at a later moment to share the DYI & how you did it to help all that watch you & your great content. 🐝🦋🐦 maybe when you hit 100k you can do a fun segment?
Grass is one of the most common and recognizable plants in the world. It is a member of the Poaceae family, which includes over 10,000 species of grass, ranging from short, dense blades to tall, feathery stalks. Grass is found in nearly every corner of the globe, from the prairies of North America to the savannas of Africa.
One of the defining characteristics of grass is its narrow, elongated leaves. These leaves can range in color from light green to dark green, depending on the species of grass and the environment in which it grows. They are often arranged in dense clumps, creating a lush carpet of green that covers the ground.
Grass is also known for its fibrous roots, which anchor it in the soil and absorb nutrients and water. These roots can be incredibly long and deep, reaching down into the earth to find the resources that the plant needs to survive. Because grass is so efficient at nutrient uptake, it is able to grow quickly and cover large areas of land.
Grass is a resilient plant, able to adapt to a wide variety of environmental conditions. It can grow in areas with poor soil quality, extreme temperatures, and limited water. In fact, grass is often one of the few plants that can survive in these harsh environments, making it a crucial part of many ecosystems.
Despite its hardy nature, grass can also be incredibly delicate and intricate. The individual blades of grass are often decorated with tiny veins and ridges, creating a complex pattern that is both beautiful and functional. These intricate details are often overlooked, but they are a testament to the remarkable complexity of the natural world.
Grass also has a number of ecological benefits. Because it covers the ground and absorbs water, it can help prevent erosion and runoff. It also helps to trap carbon dioxide, which can help mitigate the effects of climate change. In addition, grass can provide food and shelter for a wide variety of animals, including insects, birds, and mammals.
In conclusion, grass is a remarkable plant that is both ubiquitous and underappreciated. Its narrow, elongated leaves and fibrous roots are adapted to absorb nutrients and water, allowing it to grow quickly and cover large areas of land. Despite its hardy nature, grass can also be incredibly delicate and intricate, with intricate patterns and details that are often overlooked. Whether in a suburban lawn or a sprawling savanna, grass is a vital component of many ecosystems around the world, providing food, shelter, and beauty for all who live there.

I prefer grass you can smoke
Holy crap!!!!! That's a LOT of work!!! Good on you!!
Nice and green
Horrible for your local ecosystem and you're fighting a battle against a plant that doesn't want to be where u probably put it. Grow natives instead, stop glorifying grass yards.
I agree
sad to see another ecosystem become a lame lawn devoid of life
w0w … great work bro!!
Could have just used clover and had it looking nicer for much less effort.
Take that native plant and animals!
All I see is a weekend killer.😂😂😂😂
Now that's what I'm talking about 👍👍👍🥂Kudos to you. you were smart not to till the old soil. it would have stirred up unwanted roots. lookes beautiful 💖🌱
So much work for grass, you have a huge yard that can be so productive
You are the man doing all that in a day 😉😂 but seriously how long did that all take? I'm working with hard clay with dried up weeds. I rented too small and weak of a tiller. I need the larger rear tine tiller to break this dirt up. My neighbor is saying to sift out all the bits of grass 😮
Wow. Just wow.
Kids. He bought topsoil then tilled it in... To the existing topsoil.
He would have had the exact same results just dethatching the native grass ( don't do that btw) and tiling the seeds into the existing soil.
Good luck keeping it that way
Then the next year, Pre and Post emergents. Or all of the weeds will be back.
If you buy lawn soil you dont need any kind of pre or post emergent because it already comes with it in the mix. I dont have one weed in my lawn since I used lawn soil. StayGreen brand or Scotts they both have it in the mix.
