Today I answer when to mow after renovation, how to adjust your watering schedule and when and how much to fertilize. I got to complete a first mow after seeding tall fescue and things are coming along nicely. There's a lot of mowing ahead and I look forward to the rest of this fall lawn care season.

More on the lawn stryper here - ryanknorrlawncare.com/product/lawn-stryper-lawn-striping-system/
I seeded at the end of august. I’ve to reseed about 5-10%. The rest is nice and thick. Do I still need to wait to mow?
Difference between this striper performance wise with the Checkmate? Easier to remove?
@@milanjurich1526 The Checkmate is far away the best striper available. I dont remove mine ever. I have a large s-hook that clips to the striper and I hang it from the handle cross bar. Then when I need it again I just undo the hook. You can use tie-wire, I just happened to have a big enough s-hook.
@danny shannon I’ve to reseed some bare patches. I just use my push mow and went around the new areas
Dang bro, those footprint in the fresh cut are deep. You know, short up front and long in back is essentially a yard mullet.....it’s party time 🤘🏻
Chris Voit yard Mullet. The Billy Ray Cyrus 😆
Jayme Reinisch billy ray fescue
A yard muller, like CW’s hair?
Jon Fokken up for debate. CW leans towards Flock of Seagulls-ish. Going to watch The Wedding Singer to verify 😎
Business up front party in the back
That first mow is always a great feeling. I can't wait to mow my newly renovated back lawn.
Another great and informative video Ryan. You are the main reason a lot of my neighbors are stopping by to see how I improved my lawn so quickly. At first I take all the credit but then I point them out to your videos lol. 👍👍👍
Glad to help
I don’t think I’ve ever watched a CZcamsr so continuously. Enjoy your work man, keep it up!
Thanks!
Mowing your lawn is an art that is becoming a thing of old.its awesome to see a person still taking pride in his work
The Fescue is looking really nice, I can’t wait to see when it thickens.
I agree....it probably sucks for Ryan to have low maintenance grass that will look that good that he won't have to mow every other day! LOL
Pete’s gotcha beat. But nice tall
Fescue Ryan! God bless ya
@@hotcheesesoup9776 Nothing against Ryan, but he is an enthusiast, like Connor Ward.....guys like Allan and Pete, on top of being enthusiasts are actually professionals in this business with a lot of years of expertise. Ryan will admit to not really knowing what he was doing a few years ago, and is still learning, but he does a great job (even though I don't really care for the reel low cut).
Perfect timing! I had all these questions, as I just cut my new lawn - all thanks to your videos over the past year. Much appreciated, thank you!!
Glad to help
Took the words right out of my mouth!
Thank you thank you thank you! I'm coming up on week 4 after germination and these are the questions I had. I used Pete's TTTF and I'm amazed at the dark green and the germination rate. I am so thankful for the lawn care community on CZcams! This spring I am ordering a Lawn Box and I am about to order the candle to have over the winter here in KY! Thanks again for what you do!
Glad it was helpful!
Sharpening blades .... every time I did that, and I did try to keep the original angle, the cut quality suffered. I ended up just getting new original blades and using as is, without sharpening. What I am testing today (same mower as yours) is checking the RPMs and possibly increasing them. Learned a nice trick on you tube where after adjustment of governor spring, everyone says cut quality became awesome. Many videos on youtube on how to adjust the governor and Grass Daddy had a video on it as well.
I’m a fescue guy and I just renovated my side yard with weed pressure from neighbor about 300 sq ft with some ryegrass. Germinated in about 5 days! Now I’m taking over my neighbors yard for the sake of my own lawn lol🤟🏾.
Been waiting forever for the results!!!!
Thanks for the comments on the timing of the next application for the new seed!
The first time is always magical 🧙♂️
Even though it isn't what you wanted to do for the backyard... It still looks really good 👊
Knorr with the Wednesday cinema hour!😎👊
George, good day to you👊☕️🍺😎
Trevor, you have a great day😎👊☕️🍺
Looking as good as I expected. Can’t wait to hear your full TTTF review here in a few weeks.
Fescue's looking great. I just did a reno in my front yard with a monostand of 4th Millennium, and I'm loving it. Also, nice musical choice with Ben Rector. His Magic album is full of great 80s synth and 90s power ballad vibes.
My dog can't wait to get back to marking the whole yard. But I'm going to fill in some gaps this weekend, so he has to wait another couple of weeks. I finally just built some portable ones out of cedar pickets and 2x4s It looks like I'm setting my yard for agility course. lol I'm glad he's on the small/medium side. 3 weeks ago, we had that hot dry week when the fires hit my town and then last week we had massive downpours. Back in the 80s this week. Rains will start again next week. That's the PNW for ya. Perfect grass growing season though.
Been a fan for a while now, but if there's one thing that always puts the icing on the cake with your videos is how you introduce me to some new songs! The Ben Rector song is going to be on my playlist for a while. Keep up the great work. You and Connor have definitely been an inspiration to me in getting really serious with my yard.
Better check out some more of his music because it's great!
Super helpful since I just followed your process of overseeding and fall renovation. Man, my water bill is about to be so high 😩
Yard is looking awesome man! Nothing like new grass in the fall, so addicting and wonderful. Thanks for the great content.
I think your yard is a great opportunity to collaborate with Pete at GCI. He is a master at tall turf and is getting into reel mowing which you have a great handle on ( better than the master of mustaches). Great video! As a professional lawn care provider you have taught me a lot on sissy grass maintenance! Thanks!
fescue = 🐐
Extremely helpful and perfect timing for me! Thank you Ryan!
Great timming for me . This weekend will be 3 weeks in my overseed. I was wondering when I can add fertilizer. Thanks
Nice song Ryan..keep up the great work
I have a beautiful lawn because of your vids..🙏
Renovated my lawn with tall fescue and it started germinating in some places after 3 days and now I’m on day 6 but I can’t see the green fuzzy things yet but hopefully next week I can
Ryan must of read my last comment about watering. Glad you read the comments! Thanks for everything you do and happy fall to you and your family.
I have spent more money and time on my lawn this past year to improve it. Total is ~$600 so far, I was shocked to see that. Not sure what a lawn service costs, but doing it yourself gives way more satisfaction. Somedays just stare at it for a few minutes. Recent dethatch and overseed. Used Scott's Thick R Lawn. 5 weeks later pretty thick, even though i have not been able to spot a single blade of new grass. I even added more seed for front and sides, maybe just too dense? I keep it around 3.25 inches now. I bought the coated seeds, maybe go uncoated next time.
Thanks..love the lawn..the tall fescue.. just seeded my property with it..so far so good
Last thing on my bucket list for Wednesday:Ryan Knorr👏👏now i can go to sleep😎
The drone shot at 6:51 your neighbors place looking good
I was night raking my renovation area Monday night. I know. I have a problem. I also have kick butt grass :-)
I love having 5 acres of grass to cut, but I’m so jealous of smaller yards where fertilizer doesn’t cost $1000 per treatment 😩😩😩
Get some sheep dude.
Where do you live lol. Best to try organic fertilizers keep the ground self regulating
0-3 and still representing, SKOAL!
Answered a lot of questions I had. Awesome!
Wow! That fescue came in great!
Thanks for addressing one of my questions that I am sure many had.
I'm right behind ya on this one.
I know ur upset about ur blue grass but I think this is a great opportunity for you to show ppl what havin different varieties of grass i think it’s awesome to see blue in the front and fescue in the back and maybe some Bermuda in the future so you can show everyone all varieties of grass. by the way I’m a fescue guy and I’m excited to see what the future holds for ur backyard so keep up the great content and info for all of us
Love the Ben Rector clips! One of my favs.
The backyard is looking really nice! 😃
Your Fescue is coming in really good.
I lived in MN for 10 years before I moved to the east coast, I love your vikings cap and definitely your lawn!
All mow and no plough makes ryan a dull boy!😁
Love the Ben Rector thrown in there!
Trying to get a tall fescue yard now. Couple hundred dollars of top grade seed and hours of prep work all washed away with last night's storm. The struggle of growing grass on a slight slope is real
Been there for sure. Don't give up
So would Scott's early fall fertilizer be okay after overseeing and adding a starter fertilizer? 😬😬
Another great video with plenty of tips. You kept it simple and flowing, and easy to understand. I wish my mishaps on the lawn turned out as good as yours.
Lawn Care companies (mine included) cut Fescue at 3.5-4.25", for me personally, I cut my clients yards at 3.5" in the spring/fall and 3.75" in the summer.
That first mow👍 great tips also!
Spyderco Para nice! That's my edc.
I don't know if it would be a curse or a blessing to be his neighbor! 😄
Looks great man. My PNW blend is about 3/4" right now and I can't wait to mow it for the first time!!!
Ordered the Simple Lawn Solutions 6-0-0 with Iron from your Amazon Store today for my newly seeded lawn.
Nice clear information. You’ve inspired me to improve my lawn here in the south of Sweden. Mine still needs work next spring but I’m happy with all my work for now. October starts here it’s going to get colder and the grass will rest and me too,. I am still mowing now mind you. Keep up with your excellent videos Ryan.
Love the lawn and a good Ben Rector jam!
Excited to see how the TTTF works for you! What about dogs? Wheb do you let your dogs have free reign of the lawn after a reno?
I find myself coming back for the Ben Rector
Wow it looks nice and..... Soft.. well it does.
Do you have any friends with a lot of trees on their property? I have a ton and it's very difficult this time of year to overseed or just seed, because of the amount of leaves that fall. I don't know if I should try and get them up with a lawn sweeper (seems not like a good idea, because of the new sprouts) or to just side discharge them. It's just difficult all around to grow grass with so many. I'd love it if you did a segment on their property or something showing how they get their grass growing or just helping them get it going. This is my second season here at my house, but the first I'm actually seeding and fertilizing.
Great content. Appreciate the explanation on bag v. mulch v. side discharge. Have been wondering about that since many of your videos you bag the clippings.
Grass is looking good. The rye grass I ordered from your site has sprouted. Looking forward to messing around with it over the winter!
With KBG having a longer germination period does that mean you need to wait longer to mow? I over seeded with you KBG Ryegras mix. Its been 2.5 weeks but my grass is up to 3.5-4" with all the KBG not fully germinated...
That fescue is looking great!
enjoy all your information and videos
Your yard always looks amazing
What about weeds that came up during watering? Can I take care of that now or wait until spring?
I don’t know what I would do without your channel. I have learned so much. Here in northwestern Illinois it is supposed to get down to 37 degrees overnight. I have some very young seedlings that I’m worried about. Do you think I should cover it? It’s a couple of 15x20 areas In front of the house and bigger in the back. I’m afraid they still die.
Also, I’m really liking the fescue. I may have to make a switch soon.
I should have provided some more Info. The areas I seeded some were bare ground some was overseeded and I covered all the bare areas with some weed free straw. So the seed is “covered” but I got a late start and some of this seed has just germinated and some seedlings are just barely poking out of the straw.. I’m going to just be miserable if they die. Thanks for your time Ryan.
probably just going to have to let it ride and hope for the best
Backyard looks good
Bro that deck looks fantastic!
How many weeks we need to wait for the first cut after seeding?
I'm kicking myself in the butt for putting down preM in my front yard. I really want to put down PRG for the winter.
thank you
The new grass is coming in nicely. I’m doing the same in Georgia now. Got a question though, if the best time to seed is fall, how do you keep all the leaves off it? Cant rake, it’ll damage the seedlings. Can you blow?
Lance Alborn can blow away the seed lol, I’m in the same boat.
I'm hoping to get my lawn looking as good as yours next season 🙏, it's pretty bad right now lol
Your neighbor’s reno is looking pretty good in those drone shots. He might start to rival you soon. 🤣
He better...I'm giving him the plan haha
Looking nice! Can't wait to see that fescue next year!
I have a new lawn I just did in August, what type of winterizer fertilizer would you recommend for Massachusetts winters.
Another great video, Ryan...very informative!👍🏾
What do you do for a living besides this channel, products, merch? Do you maintain golf course turf or something?
Hi Ryan.
Very nice lawn, I see some tall fescue blades, over all beauty full green lawn
Needs some updates on both renovation projects Ryan! Good stuff man.
Another quality video! Thank you for the great information!!!
Hi guys, i need some advice. I will mow my new lawn for the first time. I have a lots of grass free places (bald spots). What should i do first. Overseed -> Mow -> put some fertilizer -> watter. Or some different order? Thank you very much for Advice. And i must write. My soil is hard as ****. Lots of sunshine and i have cracks everywhere. Thx
I recently did a complete lawn renovation in Maryland with Tall Fescue. Unfortunately, I have Quack Grass coming up in the new grass and I'm very frustrated. I have been researching ways to try to control or eradicate the persistent weed and it looks to be a daunting task. Do you have any suggestions how to kill off or at least control it in a newly seeded lawn without killing the new grass? It is late September so I have limited time to make a dent in it this Fall. I just cut the new grass for the first time so I am thinking about putting down some more starter fertilizer and overseeding some of the thinner areas to try to thicken up the new grass as much as possible heading into the Winter. Hoping to thicken up the tall fescue to squeeze out the Quack Grass for the Spring and Summer of 2022.
I dropped the SS1000 TTTF seeds on Sept 27. It's 9 days old now. 2 days ago and the week before it, air temp was averaging 50f. Soil temp was higher like 53f. I haven't seen any germinations until today. Temp yesterday was above 60s, WOOHOO! Today's temp was above 70s! I'm just not sure if the young TTTF grass will survive our winter since I was thinking it might not be able to grow deeper roots. What are your thoughts? We always experience subzero temps in January and February. Somewhere between -10F and -20F is normal in our area.
Hey Ryan, what advice would you have for high traffic lawns? My kids (and the neighbour kids) play on our front yard all the time - which is great! But also means things like a full renovation are kinda out of the question. Also, there's foot traffic on it every day, so some areas get warn down pretty good. What kind of advice would you give for maintaining a lawn in that situation?
Question: What are your thoughts on dormant seeding? I reseeded my lawn 3 weeks ago (in Des Moines) and it's coming in pretty well. There are definitely some thinner spots that will need to be overseeded, but I think it's getting too late in the season here to overseed now. Do you think it's better to seed just before it starts snowing and let the seed lay dormant throughout the winter months, or is it better to wait until next spring to fill in the spots that need to be overseeded? Thanks!
I would probably try the dormant method instead of waiting on spring because who knows what can happen with our crazy weather here
@@ryanknorrlawncare Thanks for the advice!
You took it from 4”+ to 2” in a single mow? No need to double cut?
It came out great! I applied scotts starter fertilizer. My grass is at about 2 inches now day 12. Should I apply another application or when should I apply a regularly fertilizer? Like scotts turf builder lawn food.
How about aeration? When / how often do we need to do that? Thanks.
Great info. I only have a zero turn mower with a side discharge. I am about 1 1/2 weeks into a dethatching, aerating, and overseeding with Tractor Supply Kentucky Bluegrass 31 coated. I put down a starter fertilizer about a week after seeding. Before doing all this I cut the lawn down to 2 1/2 inches. We live in western NJ near PA. The grass is probably around 4 inches or so now. Would you consider cutting it now and cut it down to 2 1/2 again?
Also how often should I be putting down law fertilizer
It looks great man
When do you spray for post-emergent weeds?
Can you wet tall fescue seeds with worm water in a bucket overnight or more for it to germinate fast?
Was really hoping to see a video making fun of people vacationing at Lake Powell. 😀
Great video! I have a question,
How would you raise the blades that were flattened by the weight of the mower wheels so they get cut too.
I'm having a problem with that,
again great video!
