In regard to the edging issue where you see the "brown" in the roots because of the heat, I switched from using a blade edger where it cuts veritcal to a string trimmer where I can cut an angle into the transition between the grass and concrete. You still get the visual pop of the edging between the grass and concrete, but you can "hide" the lower session of the grass because of the angle.
I keep seeing yellow patches in your front yard shots and I think to myself "Whey your lawn is so good, the neighborhood dogs hold their bladder until they walk by your house" 😂
Hey Ryan, it's been a while since I had a chance to watch your videos, I just had a lot going on. But I decided to revisit some of your old videos that had helped me in the past with my lawn. I immediately remembered how enjoyable and relaxing it was to watch your videos.
I watched your video start to end, enjoyed every second, I wonder people who dislike why would they watch!!, my opinion there's nothing wrong with these videos, the don't know how much effort you have to put to make 10 minutes video.
Ryan, got my Greenworks dethatcher and used it on my front lawn yesterday. Here in Michigan it was going to cool down and rain for the weekend so I thought it would be a great time to try and renovate. My lawn is nice and healthy with no weeds just a mishmash of grass types and want a more uniform look. Dethatched and picked it up put down seed and topped with a thin layer of peat moss. I experimented with this last week in a small area in backyard and it already 3 inches tall and lush. Have used a lot of your method and my water bill for 3 months was crazy but I have the greenest and best lawn on the block and soon to be better.
I was dealing with dollar spot and heat stress. Figured enough of this. Raked debris, spot core aerate, applied (first time) XGR 8-1-8, and had help from tropical storm Isaias. Much better. Will overseed soon. Your decking looks good. Thought you would continue overseeding with kbg in the backyard to rival with the front yard prg.
Ryan another good vid. Dude you really have a great cinematic side to you as well. Great to see the Mrs and the pups in a cameo. PS the Lawn Whisperer is renovating 😁lol.
I'm on the North shore of Long island. Love watching your videos. I have skipped adding lime to my lawn the past two years,lawn was looking good in the spring and was totally browning out and dying until about a week ago I finally put lime on it and it sprung to life! Nothing short of a miracle after adding the lime back to the lawn.
@@ryanknorrlawncare Thanks...I did for sure..I had a meter and it was reading about 6.5.. I guess now I know that is too low for what it likes...originally a few years ago it was getting too high I think. Was using humic acid and it looked good for a while..until this year!
I think you should go for the full Reno and level in the back Ryan. It going to be a huge amount of work but once you have it done it’s going to look glorious!
I'm on long island, ny. My lawn has many weeds and some brown spots. The lawn also has an area where bentgrass is overtaking it. I sprayed a weed killer 2 weeks ago and it needs another spray. What do you recommend I do? I was planning on spraying the weed killer again, a week later lay down scotts disease ex. Cut the grass short, overseed, then add top soil, watering small, but frequent amounts. I was planning on using a 85% tall fescue, 15% KB mix. Any tips are appreciated and thanks for the videos!
Great video with tons of things to know about! Hate to say this, but I'm always relieved and encouraged when you lawn youtubers experience issues like fungus...I got his hard by fungus for the first time and it was super stressful to tackle. It's nice to see how calm you are about it! Thanks!!
Also the comment about if you ever want it to rain just put down grass seed is true. I decided to hit a few spots that had bad drought damage this year due to extreme heat and lack of rain. I don’t have irrigation so it’s almost impossible to get every spot covered well. That being said that hurricane came up the coast and we got slammed with rain in upstate NY and two days later another 3” dumped on us. Had almost 8” of rain in 3 days
I also let my sidewalk edges go during the last 4 weeks of 90+ because the edges dry out and get crispy. I have a KGB mix and am thinking of overseeding with a higher quality KGB trio this fall OR KGB and Ryegrass. Tough call since I already have some Rye and Fescue mixed in.
Just scalp the back as low as you can go, maybe some leveling and then fert bomb it then keep it cut at that 1in hoc you want. Which is the same hoc I keep my backyard at which is like 70% blueish-green color bent grass then a mish mash of every cool season grass type mixed in. The bent has really spread and liked the 1 in hoc I've done the past couple seasons which i've come to like cause it so soft to walk on and i got a big maple tree in the back so whatever grass grows, grows.
Oh, Wait a minute, hold the phone! Did you really say you were going to get rid of the particle board Ramp! WTH, Now I am going to have to look a little closer to find something else in your vids to pick on you about, LOL! BTW, That sunflower shot with the bees was epic! A+++ on the editing once again you managed to out do yourself! Can't wait for full blown Reno Season! Peace and God's Love! Chad Upstate NY
I just over seeded here in Minneapolis and I think I’ve timed it so perfectly...I don’t have irrigation. And we’re supposed to get lite rain almost everyday so pumped
I’m sure this a stupid question but what kind of mower is that in the front (the orange one, not the dethatcher)? I was even more confused when I saw you use a “regular” mower for the back- I’ve never in my life see a mower that looks like the one you use in the front yard.
Here in Connecticut, temperatures seem to be above average for this time of year. I need to do a Fall lawn renovation, but it's almost mid-August and air temps are still reaching the 90's. First frost is expected to be early October. How do I overseed if air temperatures aren't between that golden zone of 60-75 degrees for germination? It's a battle of seeding in the heat vs running out of time to grow a new lawn.
Don’t worry so much about the day time temperatures. Focus on the nighttime temps. By mid August your nighttime temps should be below 70 which is fine for your renovation. A good indicator will be when your local country clubs renovate.
Literally just mowed my lawn..cut it to 4.5 instead of 5 inches..we had tons of rain and 98 degrees..bam..i got some fungus..not mad though..i expected it..disease ex corrective in action now..lol..
I've been following you since almost the beginning. I was just have the same fungus problem the last week, on all my edges. Thanks for the vid man!!! Keep it up, good work!!!!
Comparing an electric reel mower vs petrol reel mower to buy this off-season. You seem to always be analyzing different options for cutting your yard. Have you ever calculated how much you spend on gas each year for your yard based on the frequency you mow?
Already on my 2nd shirt this morning by 11:30am here in Jersey. We are expected to have a high of 89 and of course it's always swampy. Tired of the humidity.
Good lord 65 degrees man I’ll trade you for my hell is coming 100 degrees down here in Texas.trying renovate my lawn requires the sprinkler to just run all day long.
Ryan I am getting ready to till and restart my new construction lawn. I am adding a layer of mushroom compost on top to help it get some nutrients as well as the yard is mostly clay and just starting. I am in PA and will be putting down a pennstate mix. Should I put down tenaticy and a starter fert or just go with a starter fert that has it in it? I'm hoping to get off to a good start
Not sure of the exact difference in results granular vs liquid but with liquid you are probably getting slightly better even coverage if it's sprayed correctly
6:06 should have cut to you inside looking out a window at the rain , whimpering “no.. no please stop raining” ... I’ve done that a few times after throwin down the seed.
I want to do a renovation sometime down the road with a cool season turf. I’m in the transition zone, and there’s a giant tree in my yard which shades it quite a bit. The leaves do fall, so sunlight does pass through for a decent amount of time during the day. Lows for the year rarely get below 32 degrees, but summers are long, and brutal with temps in the high 90s and low 100s for 2 to 3 months a year. Any suggestion on what kind of turf to try?
Love the deck & begining of the rain footage! Love that u talk thru what might have happened & plans for the coming month with regards to your back yard. I will probably never be able to achieve your front yard standards because I have 3 90lbs dogs. All your tips have helped my summer time strength of my yard. I'm fearing the fall & extra moisture tho
hi ryan was wondering what you would use on lawn areas where you dont want anything to grow? do you have a video on this? if not making one could bring potential new viewers from the other side of the spectrum since your videos are mostly growing lawn videos , jus an idea , how do i keep nothing growing in certain areas?
I am thinking about overseeding my Bermuda with perennial rye for the cool season (in Georgia) because I want to have a green lawn year round. The question I have is will I have to reseed with Bermuda in the spring? Will I have to overseed with perennial rye again the following fall? or will each variety regenerate it self?
To be clear, if spray out the PRG in the spring, will I have to overseed again in the fall? New to Lawn Care: what is MSM? Thanks for responding. @@ryanknorrlawncare
Anyone else get oddly excited when Ryan drops a new video?
Lol, neighbor is like forget this, I'm not even gonna try to compete 😂

Just when i think that your editing/music selection couldnt get any better...keep it up brother. #knorr #diciple
Appreciate that
I keep seeing yellow patches in your front yard shots and I think to myself "Whey your lawn is so good, the neighborhood dogs hold their bladder until they walk by your house" 😂
No bs I swear they do, my neighbors has no choice but to say, My dog love you lawn every time their dog stop and poops, peep or lay on the lawn

I'm reluctantly coming around to KBG/PRG blends. I think that's the winner in the northern tier going forward with the weather changes.
Your lawn looks awesome and that deck is going to be sweet when it's finished. I like how it goes straight into the shed.
Stripes....mow around the tree, then opposite rings as you move out. Something fun!
Keeping a close eye on your timeline for Reno..... Can't wait to watch and follow some of the steps for my lawn as well. 🤜🤛
Your work ethic is beyond commendable...You Sir deserve a 🍺
I watched your video start to end, enjoyed every second, I wonder people who dislike why would they watch!!, my opinion there's nothing wrong with these videos, the don't know how much effort you have to put to make 10 minutes video.
Good to see the Knorr Westies supervising the project! Great content Ryan thank you 👍
This is why I love people like Ryan because he never says “oh plz like and subscribe” like omg are people that desperate holy
Tig yeah I get that but maybe like once every like 2 weeks not every single video at least like twice
Looking great Ryan. I love watching your videos. So informative and helpful.

Here in Nebraska we are looking at cooler than normal temps at least 2 weeks out. So I did a full renovation on the front yard this weekend.
I was dealing with dollar spot and heat stress. Figured enough of this. Raked debris, spot core aerate, applied (first time) XGR 8-1-8, and had help from tropical storm Isaias. Much better. Will overseed soon. Your decking looks good. Thought you would continue overseeding with kbg in the backyard to rival with the front yard prg.
I'm so excited to follow along for fall! we have about a 1/2 acre of lawn and it's a LOT to work on!
Great gob on the video work. This has become my favorite lawn care channel.
Deck looks great. It'll be cool to see it all finished. 👊

Grass dies, you plant it again. Wise words from a friend of mine who always makes me realize I have the skills and can fix it.
If i do decide to go to reel mowing. How in the world do I go about finding a place to sharpen the reel and bedknife?
I think the term "sissy grass" will eventually crowd out "perennial rye grass" :D
Hey Greg, this is the kentucky bluegrass lawn I told you to check. It's beautiful!

Always good stuff. Nice deck.
It was 85 at 4 o'clock this morning at Dauphin island Al. Went fishing all night and about sweat to death lol.
Just ordered my levelawn. Getting excited (nervous?) to try leveling my front yard. Thanks for the podcasts and Reno videos
Milo! Once again you are doing Milwaukee proud!👍🍻🌱
Love the deck awesome, also enjoy the music during your vids well done 👍

That fungus looks a bit like Anthracnose... quite common in the across the border in the PNW area where I'm from.
Love you your vidoes keep them coming
Fungus amung us? Haha. Did a jazz band recording in college. We played a lot of charles mingus charts. The name of the album? Mingus Amung Us lol.
Stripes on POINT!
Nice grass and lawn mower why don’t you use a bag behind your lawn mower to catch the grass?
Because Connor does! 😉😂
I just over seeded here in Minneapolis and I think I’ve timed it so perfectly...I don’t have irrigation. And we’re supposed to get lite rain almost everyday so pumped
If that were me it would surely never rain...haha

It was a great morning! 48 degrees here, totally not what it should be in Iowa.
I love it!
Thanks Ryan! I am cool season in Northern Idaho! Loved see your Wife & the three Babies! Can't wait to see more videos for the Fall Season.
love that you now call it sissy grass. Connor is such a dork!
Gotta love those stripes from a reel mower 🤙
We haven't had rain here in months.
Well, what do you expect in the desert?
Better plant some grass seed.
Does that really work?
Every time.
Even close up from what we can see it looks good 👍 great work like always around the yard, lawn and garden👍

Our weather her in MINNESOTA is super weird....go figure...😳😳😳😳
Where are the 3 musketeers?🙂🙂
73 degrees? Wow! I’m over here scorching myself in 94 degrees in TX. 🥵

Not first! Hope you’re having a great weekend!
I am so jealous every time I see footage of that dethatcher. Want to bring that bad boy to northern Illinois for a quick test? hahahah
You are not the first to ask that
Ryan! some areas of my lawn is turning orangey-rust color! What can I put down to get rid of it ??
Man you’re gonna have a big deck! 😂
Did you kill the grass under the new deck and apply a weed barrier with rock on top?
Thanks for the tips on brown patch. Been dealing with it most of the summer.
I like the color of your front lawn. What kind is it and where’d you get it? Thank you.

He doesn't. This channel is his full time job.
Interesting
Awesome video as usual! Thank you
Nice addition to the yard. Thumbs up!!!!
Auction off the ramp!!!
Looks amazing Ryan 👏

5:54. I guarantee that your grill will last longer without a cover. Moisture traps inside with it on.
Bro, do you listen to incubus?? Your a music guy, so you must know about that album.
I was wondering if someone was going to make this comment.
Any difference with the newer Timemaster other than black color? I still have the older one.
What’s best to use for landscape flowers and shrubs for diseases. And fungus ?
hi ryan was wondering what you would use on lawn areas where you dont want anything to grow? do you have a video on this? if not making one could bring potential new viewers from the other side of the spectrum since your videos are mostly growing lawn videos , jus an idea , how do i keep nothing growing in certain areas?
What did you do to resolve the pythium in your lawn I cant find the video.....asking for a friend. lol.
Mefenoxam. $$$
I love the smell of Milo!!!!
The smell of success 👍
How would you treat powder mildew on grass?
You and the rest of us with fungus issues.🍄
I want that black timemaster.
I am thinking about overseeding my Bermuda with perennial rye for the cool season (in Georgia) because I want to have a green lawn year round. The question I have is will I have to reseed with Bermuda in the spring? Will I have to overseed with perennial rye again the following fall? or will each variety regenerate it self?
You would need to spray it out in the spring for best results. MSM would do it and then the Bermuda will come back for the summer heat
To be clear, if spray out the PRG in the spring, will I have to overseed again in the fall? New to Lawn Care: what is MSM?
Thanks for responding. @@ryanknorrlawncare
Always first in my head
Ryan could you, just for one video bring back the old school intro video and song?Hits me in the feels
If I can find it haha
You should tear out the old deck, do a continuation of the new deck, then just have a step down from the glass slider
is there a give-away for the ramp? shipping not included, of course.
First Aussie 😁. Another great video Ryan. 😎👍👍
