The yellowing below is directly caused by the overgrown grass. The tall grass shades out the lower sections stopping photosynthesis. Cutting back restarts the process. This yellow grass now has access to light it didn't have before. By next cut it will be as green as the tall grass. Maybe give this grass some pot ash and nitrogen to accelerate the process however it is not necessary. With regular watering and access to light it will just take time. Good work!
@@doofsdoofs it’s healthy for the grass too. grass has evolved/ been bred to grow so close together that it needs to be cut to allow for photosynthesis throughout the whole grass. if it grows too tall it only happens in the tips
He didn’t destroy anything, he did one hell of a job. The tall grass had to be eliminated so that photosynthesis could begin to happen. New grass will come out and it will be absolutely beautiful. Good job!
@@user-eq2ug7in7b it’s the process plants go through where they take sun rays through their leaves and the nutrients and water in the ground to feed itself
Lawns are dull. Flowers, fruit and veg are infinitely nicer. He'll some nice daisies, clovers and dandelions would make it nicer. Yuck, strips of bland green grass, prefer something with some form, like a tree or a shrub. Rather see a nettle patch, I have a bag made out of those, and they are quite nutritious. Grass does nothing but consume time and resources while giving little back.
He didn't destroy his yard. He's helping it breathe and get sunlight. edit: my father had a grass dethatcher back in the late 70's early 80's. Built for thinning out the lawn and making it grow back strong and healthy.
@Not a Bot It'll grow and become green again. It's grass. Grass is a weed. It keeps coming back. Don't worry about it going yellow for a few days. This guy did a nice job.
@@TheStrivering I'm not worried. I own a house, I mow. His grass looks like dog shit, what about it. It's not that deep, he cut it too short. Yes, it will grow back. Why post a video online of you scalping grass? It's so dumb. At least he has you!
@@TheStrivering are you arguing against my extremely rational first comment??? You people get online wanting to disagree. I am 100 per. Right. It should be green still. Tf you arguing it grows for, no one said it didn't fkin grow big guy.
@@TheStrivering Do yourself a favor and don't take strangers opinions on other strangers clipping grass to heart. I stated the obvious. "Yard should still be green dude. A little longer it need to be." The above statement is ... "Talking crap??" Lol you soft, may as well be a piece of toilet paper. You get the last word, I'm gonna disappear like the lush color of that yellow lawn. I may as well be talking to a plant, maybe I am.
@@davidm3maniac201 to start off the striping he did a circle pattern which shows he’s clearly not seasoned in the landscaping business secondly he cut it wayy to short the first time around and then continued to cut it even shorter when he should’ve stopped after the 2nd cut when he put the bagger on I will say good job on not using the bagger on the first cut because it would’ve just got clogged up and good job on the edging but there’s a proper tool for edging and it’s not a weedwacker
Love ur work mate !! It’ll grow back for you to go around there and do it all over again. It’s ur passion, swiggin a cold one for ya and to all the mowies around the world👍🍺
He didn't kill the grass, he's actually helping it! This is why those of us in Lawncare recommend mowing weekly! It'll freshen up within a week with some rain , cut again in 6/7 days not 14 or 30!!! Js
Let’s talk about grass. 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[broken anchor], 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 dry 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 part of the reason why the plants are so successful. Without grass, more soil might wash away into rivers (erosion).
Did that and even lower to my daughter's overgrown yard. She said I ruined it and it hurt her feet. Basically at root. 3 weeks later..."sorry I doubted you Dad"
ya no kidding the best lawns typically look destroyed at the beginning and end of season. What do people think healthy lawn care looks like when you aerate, dethatch/scaify, overseed and put peat moss/sand on it? They usaully look like garbage and then nicer than any lawn about 2-3 weeks later. My front yard grass was awful. I did those steps properly this year and now its about 95% full with no weeds. Its not perfect but it was almost completely dead a few weeks ago.
What?? Sun doesn’t need to reach the bottom of the blades, ie, the. stem. Where new blades will emerge from. The yellow is the color of either stressed grass, or the stem. Photosynthesis is only part of the grass. Chemistry, also carbon fixation. Which is why it can recover so well. Either way, if its a turf grass and or seasonal cut back, it’s never a good idea to debate a topic on CZcams chat.
@mattholmes2589 exactly brother. I usually go over it twice making sure I mulch up the clippings real good and the mower will scatter the clippings instead of leaving it in the straight grass trails it leaves. If it's real bad I will atleast rake and pick up the piles.
This lawn was too high to leave the clippings. In a perfect world, the grass would be cut and dispersed back into the thatch layer via mulching blades or incremental cross cutting. There's no way that this amount of grass could ever be safely redistributed back into the thatch layer.
Despite someone trying to mock the man doing a civic service. I’m glad they shared the video so more people can see what a great job he did!! Free advertisement 😂
The base of grass turns yellow or brown from a lack of of sunlight/photosynthesis. If you let the grass get too long, the width of that yellow base increases too. The stalks of grass with also thicken quite a bit. Regularly trimming it down will keep it green and soft
@@mrdishes7874 reduce but not destroy. It's will possibly slow the growth until the yellowed parts fill with chlorophylls. The yellow is inactive but not dead
people saying 'he destroyed the grass' or 'he killed the grass' have never understood lawn care maintenance. or just talking out their butts for something to whine about.
When you're on a quest for the perfect lawn, you're bound to encounter challenges. But you can breeze over hurdles with helping hands from those who have gone before you. With the following insider tips from two pros in the grass business, you can grow a lush, healthy lawn to its very best, making all the effort and care you expend in your yard worth it. SCOTT WOODWARD, WOODWARD TURF FARMS, REMINGTON, VA As a leader in Virginia's sod industry for more than 50 years, Woodward Turf Farms is known for excellence. When it comes to bringing premium grass seed to maturity, owner Scott Woodward understands what it takes. While he operates on a larger scale than the average homeowner, this pro knows how to nurture lush, healthy grass in thousands of acres or a single lawn. Woodward offers homeowners the following top four lawn tips: 1. Choose top-performing grass varieties. In Woodward's eyes, seed choice is one of the most important aspects in growing exceptional grass and determining lawn performance. “The varieties that you have in your lawn are going to dictate what your lawn is," he explains. Drought-tolerant grass varieties, for example, produce drought-tolerant lawns, and proven performers deliver outstanding results. Water conservation is a primary concern for Woodward's broad customer base and for himself in his growing fields, where nature provides most of the irrigation. Woodward looks to Water Star grass varieties qualified by the Turfgrass Water Conservation Alliance (TWCA) services, such as Pennington Smart Seed grasses. “We only grow the TWCA water conservation grasses," says Woodward. “They are the most drought-tolerant, and they're tested for that." Water Star grass varieties must demonstrate statistically significant water savings over conventional, same-species varieties to earn the TWCA qualification. 2. Always test your soil first. For homeowners serious about lawn care, Woodward starts with soil testing. “Soil testing is the most important thing." he emphasizes. At Woodward Turf Farms, every field is soil tested annually, and anyone seeking lawn care advice from the business won't get recommendations unless their soil is first tested. Woodward explains that soils vary, and knowing your soil pH through testing is critical to growing healthy grass. Without proper pH for nutrient transport and uptake, you can't get optimal results from your soil. “It can be worked with, but you have to know what you have," says Woodward. Soil testing provides that necessary starting point. 3. Know the exact measurements of the area you maintain. Woodward stresses that you must have accurate measurements of your maintained grass areas in order to treat them effectively. “Knowing the size of the area that they're doing - the exact dimensions - is huge," he says. He finds that homeowners often look at their total lot size when calculating amounts of fertilizers or other treatments, and don't deduct for buildings, driveways and non-grass areas. He points out that when your home sits on an acre lot, the grass area you maintain is much less than an acre. Whether tending home lawns or his own fields, where every square foot is managed by GPS, Woodward underscores that over-estimating your maintained area causes problems. Over-applying fertilizer or other lawn treatments can be detrimental to lawns, and expensive. 4. Consider working with a trained professional at first. Woodward acknowledges his strategy differs from homeowners, in that he starts sod from scratch every year, but the same important principles he and other pros follow to grow healthy turf apply. “Water, fertilization, weed control and mowing. Those are the things that we do here, and we pick good varieties," he explains. Woodward recommends learning from educational material available from reputable companies, but that's just the beginning. “If you don't know what you're doing ... I would definitely suggest a professional's help to at least get started," he advises. A trained lawn care professional may be the initial boost you need for long-term success. BEN RATSACHAK, 1ST GREEN LAWN, BENTONVILLE, AR In Northwest Arkansas, many homeowners turn to Ben Ratsachak of 1st Green Lawn for solutions to their lawn care problems. A specialist in lawn treatments, including fertilizer, weed control, overseeding and renovations, this pro is known for his focus on grass health and his willingness to share his expertise - even with competitors. “I like the open communication," he says. Ratsachak offers homeowners the following four tips: 1. Understand your soil and water requirements. Ratsachak compares a healthy lawn to a healthy body, stressing the importance of what you put in it. “If you want to be healthy, you've got eat good food," he explains. But not all homeowners understand the important roles soil and water play in growing healthy lawns, so he puts those two factors at the top when assessing their lawns. “The first thing I look at is the soil, and if they have sprinkler systems," he says. Ratsachak also points out that soil conditions and soil depths can vary considerably between neighbors, because builders may use different soils when grading. So, he cautions that homeowners shouldn't try to compare their lawns or lawn needs with their neighbors. Every lawn and its soil is different, and water and treatment needs vary accordingly. 2. Read and follow product instructions closely. In Ratsachak's experience, a lack of knowledge and a misunderstanding of product labels cause many preventable home lawn problems. Some homeowners overuse products, such as fertilizers or weed controls, and over treat lawns; others fail to understand that timing is critical for herbicide and fertilizer applications. So, he suggests reading labels carefully and seeking help when necessary. “If you're not sure, learn from someone that knows." Ratsachak also emphasizes that a healthy lawn takes time. While you may want to speed things up, over-applications won't help. “It's a process, not a one-time thing," he says. Patience pays off. 3. Adjust mowing height and frequency according to weather. For simple steps to improve your lawn, especially if you don't use a sprinkler system, Ratsachak recommends changing mowing habits during warm weather. Mow higher, he advises, so the grass height helps protect the root system, and increase your mowing frequency when needed. “Make sure you mow your lawn high, at least 3 to 4 inches. Four inches is ideal," says Ratsachak. He also cautions against mowing grass short in a single cutting in an effort to mow less often. “That will injure the lawn," he warns. Instead, reduce your mowing height by gradually lowering your blades over several mowings until you reach the desired mowing height. 4. Be willing to invest time and effort. Ratsachak's final advice for serious lawn enthusiasts is to understand that lush, healthy lawns take effort. New clients often ask him to make their lawns golf course quality. He can do it, "but you have to do your part, too," he says. Golf course care is intensive and includes several mowings per week, something most homeowners won't realistically do. “Are they willing to spend the time on it? It's not going to happen overnight," says Ratsachak. Only those willing to sacrifice their time and alter their habits will yield rewards. By drawing on the advice of these pros, you can put their knowledge to action and enjoy the benefits of their expertise in your lawn.

Helpful Tips from Professionals #2 PROFESSIONAL GRASS ADVICE FOR THE PERFECT LAWN
Honest question here, why did he mow in three different phases? First cut with no bag, followed by two separate cuts with a bag. The grass did not really seem that long and it seems like you could have just done it in one shot moving slower. I'm assuming there is a real reason for that process but wondering what the pros would say?
Don't forget folks it was posted as a question. Yes plenty of us know how the grass grows. There are some who don't and this is the ideal place to teach folk about it 😊
I was told by an expert that you should never cut it down this short, you should make it a little bit longer as the lawn loses more moisture and so dries up sooner, then you have to water it more times. But that's just another theory , a lawn theory .and cut......☺️
The recommended is something is to cut only like 30% of blade length. He cut 70%. Grass will be in shock, but with water and xtra care, it will be fine.
That's what I was thinking, too. It was not wrong to cut that overgrown lawn, that's fine... but it should have been done in two rounds, in two different days, just in order to avoid extra stress to the lawn.
This appears to be Saint Augustine…which is actually a vine. Believe or not Saint Augustine should be cut with the deck/blade set at 4” to 4.5”. The only time it should be cut below 3.5” is at the beginning of spring. This will allow sunlight to penetrate the leaves on top and warm the dormant roots signaling its spring time to grow. In this case it appears they have allowed to much time in between cuttings. Cutting often and maintaining a good sharp mower blade cannot be stressed enough. This grass will be fine, if watered and cut correctly. Any damaged caused by the overgrowth will repair itself…there is really no need to put anything other than good old H20. I promise
He didn’t destroy that lawn at all, it’s just overgrown. Cutting it that low will allow it’s to get back healthy so if they cut it before it gets outta hand, it’ll be back thick and green
Who ever said he killed the grass has an IQ of 70. Shouldn't be allowed near a phone. Keep up the intelligent caring and making your world a prettier place to live.
As a Gardener of 10+ years I can confirm that what he did was a brilliant job. He didn't kill any grass, he cut it back so now it can breathe and get propper sunlight and grow back healthier. Good job.
You do not cut grass that low during summer months. You want to keep the grass at the highest length so that the roots stay moisturize. Cutting grass that low puts a strain on your yard during extreme heat. I’m sure of this because it’s the rule I go by and my yard has never went dormant. And I live in the Midwest where summers are very hot.
I landscaped for 13 years and we would scalp grass all the time but I was always taught that you do not do it all in one go. You'll want to cut the grass at the highest point of the push mowers setting while bagging it then drop it down one then next time you cut it (usually every week), you then cut it mid way down the mowers notch the next week. Then you scalp the grass and water well and let it grow to about ankle height before cutting it again. (Also never scalp grass in a drought or hottest season)
My neighbor just recently cut his yard . . . I call it more of a scalping. It ruined his grass in the Florida heat, even with watering. It continues to turn brown.
I have a neighbor like this. He constantly asks why mine looks so green and healthy. It's because I cut it at 4 inches, that's the max height on my mower. (And that's about how deep the roots are.) He scalps his, saying he doesn't like to mow, and thinks he won't have to mow as often. I asked "How often do you mow?" He replied "Every Thursday." (He drinks and parties on Fri and Sat, hungover on Sunday.) I said "Raise your mower as high as it will go, and then mow every Thursday. The first week, you may only hit the high clumps. The 2nd week, you'll be cutting about half the grass, and by the 3rd week you'll be cutting it all. It will green up beautifully." After 2 weeks he went back to scalping and subsoiling, saying "Hell, it doesn't look like I was doing anything!". I warned him it was going to kill his lawn, but he didn't care, wouldn't have to mow at all then. It did, yard turned to a mud hole, their 2 kids and all their friends ruined the carpet. She made him replace it all. They now have cardboard and plywood on the front yard. Gorgeous, lawn of the year.
I'm in Texas. For the best grass and least water requirements, set your mower on the highest setting ... and if you can, mow twice a week. Also, only water deeply, twice per week.
Same as mine, cuts it almost down to the dirt. It's thinned over the years and now bare in the centre. Throws his clippings over the back fence into an unutilised weedy area where they have formed a nice big compost pile against his timber fence, presumably rotting it. I've started using his clippings pile to mulch over the weeds and around the trees I've planted over there, and hopefully save their fence. Waste not, want not.
I hired TruGreen to service my lawn because it was looking like this lawn (the after-mowing)I was told that it was mowed too low and when the lawn is mowed very low, the actual crowns of the grass plants themselves can be injured by the lawnmower blade, and this opens up a host of cascading problems. As the plant puts all its energy into recovering from the crown damage, it opens up a weakness in the lawn, increasing the pressure from weeds, insects, and diseases. I actually had been paying someone to mow my yard, so when I was finally able to afford a riding mower, I set the blades higher, and my lawn is now looking so green and lush.
The grass doesn’t look that bad to me. But, the grass will grow back and look good and green overtime. If it keeps getting cut at the correct time it’ll fix itself.
Cutting it too short can hurt the grass since it stresses it out. It will turn brown and might take longer to recover. It also depends on whether it gets very hot.
What if you bought an off road hoverboard with larger tires for the grass and be able to push the lawnmower that much faster that would cut your time in half or less which will make you more money yes quicker and allow you to get more clients in. End of year profits could triple
He hasnt killed the grass as such hes just cut too much from the length before. With regular watering and sunlight it should grow back no bother but he did cut it uncorrectly. Grass generally speaking should never be cut more than half the length that its currenlty at in one attempt. Take half the grass off max then wait 4-5days before taking the same off again. That is the safest way to maintain life in grass... afterall it is just another plant!😊
The lawn will recover he gave it exactly what it needed it was very overgrown from the start if he's doing this for a customer it may also be what the customer wanted done
Cutting it short allows light to hit the roots causing the roots to grow deeper for water & making for a more healthier lawn. This is why cutting frequently 2-3 times a week is good for grass. At first it will look ugly, but after you’ll have a nice 1inch thick green lawn
Grass is a plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in a lawn and other places. Grass gets water from the roots in the ground. Grass is usually pigmented with the colour ‘green’. Grasses are monocotyledon, herbaceous plants. The grasses include the "grass", of the family Poaceae (also called Gramineae). Also sometimes it is used to include the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae). These three families are not closely related but belong to different clades in the order Poales. They are similar adaptations to a common life-style. The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Uses for graminoids include food (as grain, sprouted grain, shoots or rhizomes), drink (beer, whisky), pasture for livestock, thatching thatch, paper, fuel, clothing, insulation, construction, sports turf, basket weaving and many others. Many grasses are short, but some grasses, like bamboo can grow very tall. Plants from the grass family can grow in many places, even if they are very cold or very dry. Several other plants that look similar but are not members of the grass family are also sometimes called grass; these include rushes, reeds, papyrus, and water chestnut. Grasses are an important food for many animals, like 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. Without grass, dirt can wash away into rivers (erosion). Graminoids include some of the most versatile plant life-forms. They became widespread toward the end of the Cretaceous. Fossilized dinosaur dung (coprolites) have been found containing grass phytoliths (silica stones inside grass leaves). Grasses have adapted to conditions in lush rain forests, dry deserts, cold mountains and even intertidal habitats, and are now the most widespread plant type. Grass is a valuable source of food and energy for many animals.Lawn grass is often planted on sports fields and in the area around a building. Sometimes chemicals and water is used to help lawns to grow. People have used grasses for a long time. People eat parts of grasses. Corn, wheat, barley, oats, rice and millet are cereals, common grains whose seeds are used for food and to make alcohol such as beer. Sugar comes from sugar cane, which is also a plant in the grass family. People have grown grasses as food for farm animals for about 4,000 years. People use bamboo to build houses, fences, furniture and other things. Grass plants can also be used as fuel, to cover roofs, and to weave baskets. n English, the word "grass" appears in several phrases. For example: "The grass is always greener on the other side" means "people are never happy with what they have and want something else." "Don't let the grass grow under your feet" means "Do something". "A snake in the grass" is about a person that will not be honest and will trick others. Grass is sometimes used as a slang term for cannabis (also called pot, weed, or marijuana) The Grass type (Japanese: くさタイプ Grass type) is one of the eighteen types. Prior to changes in Generation IV, all damaging Grass-type moves were special, but they may now also be physical depending on the attack. Grass-type Pokémon are immune to Leech Seed. Grass-type Pokémon are immune to Leech Seed Starting in Generation VI, Grass-type Pokémon are immune to powder and spore moves and Effect Spore.Grass types are tied with Rock in having the most weaknesses out of all types with five. Since Generation I, a particular asset of Grass types is being the only type that is immune to Leech Seed. As of Generation VI, Grass-type Pokémon are also immune to powder and spore moves, such as Sleep Powder and Stun Spore. Additionally, Grass Pokémon are the only ones affected by Rototiller and Flower Shield. Those moves raise both attack stats or the physical Defense stat, respectively, when used. Forest's Curse adds the Grass type to the target's types. Grass-type attacks are resisted by seven types, so they're tied with Bug as the most resisted type. Those resistant types are best covered by Rock and Ground. As of Generation VI, Dark and Ghost have neutral matchups against every type that resists Grass. When Grassy Terrain is in the effect, the power of Grass-type moves is increased by 30% (50% prior to Generation VIII) if the user is on the ground. Contest properties In contests, Grass-type moves are typically Clever moves, but can also be any of the other four contest conditions. As of Generation VIII, there are 112 Grass-type Pokémon or 12.27% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Grass-type in at least one of their forms), making it the third most common type after Normal and before Flying. A Pokémon with Protean or Libero will become a Grass-type Pokémon if it uses a Grass-type move. A Pokémon with Color Change, Imposter, Mimicry, RKS System, or Multitype will become a Grass-type Pokémon if (respectively) it is hit with a Grass-type move, is sent out against a Grass-type opponent, if the terrain is grassy, if it is holding a Grass Memory, or if it is holding a Meadow Plate or Grassium Z. Since Generation VI, Grass-type Pokémon are also immune to Effect Spore; Only Grass-type Pokémon can have these Abilities. This does not include signature Abilities.Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG, Grass generally adopts all Bug-type Pokémon under its typing. It also adopted Poison-type Pokémon prior to the Diamond & Pearl set, after which they were moved to Psychic. Similar to the games, Grass-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to Fire and resist Water. Grass-type Pokémon are strong against Fighting and Water Pokémon, whilst Metal Pokémon resisted it until the EX Power Keepers expansion set. Generation V introduced the most Grass-type Pokémon of any generation, with 21 (including Rotom's Mow form), and Generation VI introduced the fewest Grass-type Pokémon, with nine. Generation I introduced the most Grass-type moves of any generation, with 10, and Generation II introduced the fewest Grass-type moves, with three. The Grass type and/or Pokémon of the type have been referred to using the term "plant" instead on some occasions: In the English Generation I games, the Gym guide in Cerulean Gym refers to Pokémon of the Grass type as "plant Pokémon". In the English versions of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, he instead mentions "Grass-type Pokémon". In the Japanese versions of the Generation I games and FireRed and LeafGreen, he mentions the Grass type itself, calling it the "Plant type" (Japanese: しょくぶつタイプ). Another reference to "plant Pokémon" (Japanese: しょくぶつポケモン) is made by Professor Oak in the Japanese Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue, and international Pokémon Red and Blue, classifying Bulbasaur as such when the player is about to choose it as their starter. This is also the case in the Japanese versions of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen; in contrast, he calls it the "grass Pokémon" in the English versions. This same reference is also used in the first episode of Pokémon Origins. In multiple languages, such as French and German, the Grass type is translated as the Plant type. The Turkish dub of the anime occasionally refers to "Grass type" as "Plant type". The Grass type has the most Pokémon that evolve by Evolution stones, with a total of 11. It is also the type that can utilize the most stones, having at least one Pokémon that can evolve via the Leaf Stone, Sun Stone, Water Stone, and Shiny Stone.The Grass type is the only type to have more than one HP-draining move, having five of them. Grass-type attacks deal doubly super-effective damage to the most Pokémon of all types. Grass-type attacks are super effective against the three types that Fire types are weak to. Fire is the only type that hasn't been paired with Grass. In Tree's a Crowd, Brock states that Grass-type Pokémon resist Electric-type moves due to being able to diffuse the electricity into trees and the ground. He also explains that if Grass types are in the air, they cannot diffuse the electricity from Electric attacks, thereby dealing normally effective damage. Now that you have read this much about grass, maybe you should go and touch some...
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.

Language In English, the word "grass" appears in several phrases. For example: "The grass is always greener on the other side" means "people are never happy with what they have and want something else". "Don't let the grass grow under your feet" means "Do something". "A snake in the grass" is about a person that will not be honest and will trick others. All flesh is grass: Old Testament book of Isaiah, chapter 40, verses 6-8. A very true observation of the present-day ecology. See the Miocene for the ecological relevance. Grass is a slang term for cannabis (pot, weed, or marijuana). Cannabis looks like a grass, but it is actually a rosid. References Yan Wu; Hai-Lu You; Xiao-Qiang Li (2018).

I wonder if future humans will wonder why so many of us socially reinforced the burning of so much fuel for the arguably aesthetic landscaping of grass.
He did not destroy that lawn the grass was destroyed because whoever wasn't taking care of it and it got too long. That yard looked beautiful when he got done with it!
Depends on how often they want it cut. Most people don't care about the yellow, the want the cut to last as long as possible. Bi weekly cuts need to be lower and weekly cuts can be a little higher.
He didn't destroy this yard he cleaned it up and getting it back under control yeah it might be yellow and brown right now but 3 or 4 more mowings and it's gonna be green and healthy and probably looking awesome!!
Reminds me of my x girlfriends house her and the 2 other women would never mow the yard it’s was so tall the neighbors would complain about it and when i showed up and mowed it for free with my mower and gas the neighbors actually came over and told me I am doing an amazing job and they were happy to see a real man keeping up on the outside of the house and when i broke up with her I left my mower and gas can so they can do it them self or the next guy can at least I did my part and left it easy for the next person
He didn’t kill it. It just wasn’t maintained. It looks like fescue (could be wrong), and it looks like he cut it to the correct height (3 inches). If watered properly and soil conditions are good, it will grow back green. The yellowing is because it too much had to be cut in one mow
The yellowing below is directly caused by the overgrown grass. The tall grass shades out the lower sections stopping photosynthesis. Cutting back restarts the process. This yellow grass now has access to light it didn't have before. By next cut it will be as green as the tall grass. Maybe give this grass some pot ash and nitrogen to accelerate the process however it is not necessary. With regular watering and access to light it will just take time. Good work!
Correct indeed!! 🤠✌️

Thanks great explanation, always wondered about this
When you say ash, what kind of potash?
@@crypto217 that’s what I was thinking too.

@@doofsdoofs it’s healthy for the grass too. grass has evolved/ been bred to grow so close together that it needs to be cut to allow for photosynthesis throughout the whole grass. if it grows too tall it only happens in the tips

Great job buddy. He did not kill the grass. Maybe he could get a picture from a week out and show how beautigul the lawn looks after. ❤
Lawns are dull. Flowers, fruit and veg are infinitely nicer. He'll some nice daisies, clovers and dandelions would make it nicer. Yuck, strips of bland green grass, prefer something with some form, like a tree or a shrub. Rather see a nettle patch, I have a bag made out of those, and they are quite nutritious. Grass does nothing but consume time and resources while giving little back.
I love everyone on the defense for this guy... well done on your yard sweetie, you did very well ❤
Cause he regularly goes and cuts people's overgrown yards for free. That's what he posts. This is awesome !
He didn't destroy his yard. He's helping it breathe and get sunlight.

He didn't kill the grass, he's actually helping it! This is why those of us in Lawncare recommend mowing weekly! It'll freshen up within a week with some rain , cut again in 6/7 days not 14 or 30!!! Js
Let’s talk about grass. 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[broken anchor], 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 dry 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 part of the reason why the plants are so successful.
Without grass, more soil might wash away into rivers (erosion).
Did that and even lower to my daughter's overgrown yard. She said I ruined it and it hurt her feet. Basically at root. 3 weeks later..."sorry I doubted you Dad"
😄 all that mowing and rake the clippings or kill the grass.
ya no kidding the best lawns typically look destroyed at the beginning and end of season. What do people think healthy lawn care looks like when you aerate, dethatch/scaify, overseed and put peat moss/sand on it? They usaully look like garbage and then nicer than any lawn about 2-3 weeks later. My front yard grass was awful. I did those steps properly this year and now its about 95% full with no weeds. Its not perfect but it was almost completely dead a few weeks ago.
He didn’t destroy it, he cut it. The homeowner destroyed it by letting it grow too tall for the sun to reach the bottoms.
What?? Sun doesn’t need to reach the bottom of the blades, ie, the. stem. Where new blades will emerge from. The yellow is the color of either stressed grass, or the stem. Photosynthesis is only part of the grass. Chemistry, also carbon fixation. Which is why it can recover so well. Either way, if its a turf grass and or seasonal cut back, it’s never a good idea to debate a topic on CZcams chat.
@@cloudatlasminer478_Bruh it's not that deep.. lol_
@@cloudatlasminer478 true… but it can be kinda fun. Lol
@@DoctorRickSanchez your point? It’s just a friendly conversation.
@@cloudatlasminer478 wow i wonder why it was stressed 😂
Picking up all the clippings was the best thing he could do for grass so high. Beautiful work, now it can grow back in full and flush.
Leave clippings
No you leave the clipping so they mulch.
@mattholmes2589 exactly brother. I usually go over it twice making sure I mulch up the clippings real good and the mower will scatter the clippings instead of leaving it in the straight grass trails it leaves. If it's real bad I will atleast rake and pick up the piles.
This lawn was too high to leave the clippings. In a perfect world, the grass would be cut and dispersed back into the thatch layer via mulching blades or incremental cross cutting. There's no way that this amount of grass could ever be safely redistributed back into the thatch layer.
Wrong .
Always leave the clippings , the clippings has mostly nitrogen in them, and what does grass need to grow , it needs nitrogen .
Attention: There is a serial grass killer roaming in neighborhood.
😂😂
Looks 100% perfect to me!
Despite someone trying to mock the man doing a civic service. I’m glad they shared the video so more people can see what a great job he did!! Free advertisement 😂
The base of grass turns yellow or brown from a lack of of sunlight/photosynthesis. If you let the grass get too long, the width of that yellow base increases too. The stalks of grass with also thicken quite a bit. Regularly trimming it down will keep it green and soft
This is what I've been saying, there are soo many experts on here that know more than us gardeners and landscapers though🤦🏽♂️
What about the 1/3 rule? If you cut more than 1/3 of the grass blade length at a time, it will reduce the ability for photosynthesis
@@mrdishes7874 reduce but not destroy. It's will possibly slow the growth until the yellowed parts fill with chlorophylls. The yellow is inactive but not dead
@@mrdishes7874 I literally cut mine half the length eberytime, and it's now the darkest, thickest grass you can imagine. It's a complete rumor.
I don't know about that, because I did this and now I have way more yellow, almost dead. I think it depends on how hot the sun is where someone lives.
Basically the grass will grow healthier as long as it is kept up. He did a good job.
He absolutely DESTROYED his lawn I mean look at it, he CUT his GRASS! Shocking tbh.
people saying 'he destroyed the grass' or 'he killed the grass' have never understood lawn care maintenance. or just talking out their butts for something to whine about.
I think we’re starting to play fast and loose with the word “lawn.”
its still a lawn regardless of its size
Not really. If that’s what you’ve got, that’s what you’ve got. Just because it isn’t as big as someone else might have does not mean it’s not a lawn.
I second that, lol fast and loose . Love it!
Lmao !😆
Spoiler Alert⚠️
It grows back 🤓
When you're on a quest for the perfect lawn, you're bound to encounter challenges. But you can breeze over hurdles with helping hands from those who have gone before you. With the following insider tips from two pros in the grass business, you can grow a lush, healthy lawn to its very best, making all the effort and care you expend in your yard worth it.
SCOTT WOODWARD, WOODWARD TURF FARMS, REMINGTON, VA
As a leader in Virginia's sod industry for more than 50 years, Woodward Turf Farms is known for excellence. When it comes to bringing premium grass seed to maturity, owner Scott Woodward understands what it takes. While he operates on a larger scale than the average homeowner, this pro knows how to nurture lush, healthy grass in thousands of acres or a single lawn.
Woodward offers homeowners the following top four lawn tips:
1. Choose top-performing grass varieties.
In Woodward's eyes, seed choice is one of the most important aspects in growing exceptional grass and determining lawn performance. “The varieties that you have in your lawn are going to dictate what your lawn is," he explains. Drought-tolerant grass varieties, for example, produce drought-tolerant lawns, and proven performers deliver outstanding results.
Water conservation is a primary concern for Woodward's broad customer base and for himself in his growing fields, where nature provides most of the irrigation. Woodward looks to Water Star grass varieties qualified by the Turfgrass Water Conservation Alliance (TWCA) services, such as Pennington Smart Seed grasses.
“We only grow the TWCA water conservation grasses," says Woodward. “They are the most drought-tolerant, and they're tested for that." Water Star grass varieties must demonstrate statistically significant water savings over conventional, same-species varieties to earn the TWCA qualification.
2. Always test your soil first.
For homeowners serious about lawn care, Woodward starts with soil testing. “Soil testing is the most important thing." he emphasizes. At Woodward Turf Farms, every field is soil tested annually, and anyone seeking lawn care advice from the business won't get recommendations unless their soil is first tested.
Woodward explains that soils vary, and knowing your soil pH through testing is critical to growing healthy grass. Without proper pH for nutrient transport and uptake, you can't get optimal results from your soil. “It can be worked with, but you have to know what you have," says Woodward. Soil testing provides that necessary starting point.
3. Know the exact measurements of the area you maintain.
Woodward stresses that you must have accurate measurements of your maintained grass areas in order to treat them effectively. “Knowing the size of the area that they're doing - the exact dimensions - is huge," he says. He finds that homeowners often look at their total lot size when calculating amounts of fertilizers or other treatments, and don't deduct for buildings, driveways and non-grass areas. He points out that when your home sits on an acre lot, the grass area you maintain is much less than an acre.
Whether tending home lawns or his own fields, where every square foot is managed by GPS, Woodward underscores that over-estimating your maintained area causes problems. Over-applying fertilizer or other lawn treatments can be detrimental to lawns, and expensive.
4. Consider working with a trained professional at first.
Woodward acknowledges his strategy differs from homeowners, in that he starts sod from scratch every year, but the same important principles he and other pros follow to grow healthy turf apply. “Water, fertilization, weed control and mowing. Those are the things that we do here, and we pick good varieties," he explains.
Woodward recommends learning from educational material available from reputable companies, but that's just the beginning. “If you don't know what you're doing ... I would definitely suggest a professional's help to at least get started," he advises. A trained lawn care professional may be the initial boost you need for long-term success.
BEN RATSACHAK, 1ST GREEN LAWN, BENTONVILLE, AR
In Northwest Arkansas, many homeowners turn to Ben Ratsachak of 1st Green Lawn for solutions to their lawn care problems. A specialist in lawn treatments, including fertilizer, weed control, overseeding and renovations, this pro is known for his focus on grass health and his willingness to share his expertise - even with competitors. “I like the open communication," he says.
Ratsachak offers homeowners the following four tips:
1. Understand your soil and water requirements.
Ratsachak compares a healthy lawn to a healthy body, stressing the importance of what you put in it. “If you want to be healthy, you've got eat good food," he explains. But not all homeowners understand the important roles soil and water play in growing healthy lawns, so he puts those two factors at the top when assessing their lawns. “The first thing I look at is the soil, and if they have sprinkler systems," he says.
Ratsachak also points out that soil conditions and soil depths can vary considerably between neighbors, because builders may use different soils when grading. So, he cautions that homeowners shouldn't try to compare their lawns or lawn needs with their neighbors. Every lawn and its soil is different, and water and treatment needs vary accordingly.
2. Read and follow product instructions closely.
In Ratsachak's experience, a lack of knowledge and a misunderstanding of product labels cause many preventable home lawn problems. Some homeowners overuse products, such as fertilizers or weed controls, and over treat lawns; others fail to understand that timing is critical for herbicide and fertilizer applications. So, he suggests reading labels carefully and seeking help when necessary. “If you're not sure, learn from someone that knows."
Ratsachak also emphasizes that a healthy lawn takes time. While you may want to speed things up, over-applications won't help. “It's a process, not a one-time thing," he says. Patience pays off.
3. Adjust mowing height and frequency according to weather.
For simple steps to improve your lawn, especially if you don't use a sprinkler system, Ratsachak recommends changing mowing habits during warm weather. Mow higher, he advises, so the grass height helps protect the root system, and increase your mowing frequency when needed. “Make sure you mow your lawn high, at least 3 to 4 inches. Four inches is ideal," says Ratsachak.
He also cautions against mowing grass short in a single cutting in an effort to mow less often. “That will injure the lawn," he warns. Instead, reduce your mowing height by gradually lowering your blades over several mowings until you reach the desired mowing height.
4. Be willing to invest time and effort.
Ratsachak's final advice for serious lawn enthusiasts is to understand that lush, healthy lawns take effort. New clients often ask him to make their lawns golf course quality. He can do it, "but you have to do your part, too," he says. Golf course care is intensive and includes several mowings per week, something most homeowners won't realistically do. “Are they willing to spend the time on it? It's not going to happen overnight," says Ratsachak. Only those willing to sacrifice their time and alter their habits will yield rewards.
By drawing on the advice of these pros, you can put their knowledge to action and enjoy the benefits of their expertise in your lawn. Pennington Seed is dedicated to producing the finest grasses available and helping you grow the lush, healthy lawn you deserve.

PROFESSIONAL GRASS ADVICE FOR THE PERFECT LAWN
Beautiful! Not destroyed at all! Let that grass see the light of day! ❤
It was seeing the light of day...
Honest question here, why did he mow in three different phases? First cut with no bag, followed by two separate cuts with a bag. The grass did not really seem that long and it seems like you could have just done it in one shot moving slower. I'm assuming there is a real reason for that process but wondering what the pros would say?
It will grow back!! Besides, it looks normal after mowing tall grass. It's naturally yellow, the short grass does not get enough sunlight
I assure you, he did the healthiest thing for that lawn
Explain?
Looks good to me. It will grow back quick
Lawn still looks healthy in this video and show me a photo of a week later, same lawn.
It will be a foot tall and as green as before
It will be dead
He actually helped the grass. It actually looks better.
Don't forget folks it was posted as a question. Yes plenty of us know how the grass grows. There are some who don't and this is the ideal place to teach folk about it 😊
Beautiful job 👏
Couldn't believe how satisfying it is to watch someone else mow lawns 😂
He's a professional lawnmower, landscaper. Awesome job 👏
Grass will grow back.
Looks neat now.
I was told by an expert that you should never cut it down this short, you should make it a little bit longer as the lawn loses more moisture and so dries up sooner, then you have to water it more times. But that's just another theory , a lawn theory .and cut......☺️
He's "Killing It" for sure! Hell yes good job
He’s Not killing it
@@rhondareese1607 killing it as in he's doing a good job
The recommended is something is to cut only like 30% of blade length. He cut 70%. Grass will be in shock, but with water and xtra care, it will be fine.
I think you perhaps shoulda looked at more of the comments, researched this, or just asked an adult with a lawn about it before you left this comment.
That's what I was thinking, too. It was not wrong to cut that overgrown lawn, that's fine... but it should have been done in two rounds, in two different days, just in order to avoid extra stress to the lawn.
This appears to be Saint Augustine…which is actually a vine. Believe or not Saint Augustine should be cut with the deck/blade set at 4” to 4.5”. The only time it should be cut below 3.5” is at the beginning of spring. This will allow sunlight to penetrate the leaves on top and warm the dormant roots signaling its spring time to grow.
In this case it appears they have allowed to much time in between cuttings. Cutting often and maintaining a good sharp mower blade cannot be stressed enough. This grass will be fine, if watered and cut correctly. Any damaged caused by the overgrowth will repair itself…there is really no need to put anything other than good old H20. I promise
I wish you would publish a spreadsheet of all the small things you include in videos and how they affect views and audience retention
He didn’t destroy that lawn at all, it’s just overgrown. Cutting it that low will allow it’s to get back healthy so if they cut it before it gets outta hand, it’ll be back thick and green
Who ever said he killed the grass has an IQ of 70. Shouldn't be allowed near a phone. Keep up the intelligent caring and making your world a prettier place to live.
Looks great to me. That grass will grow back.
As a Gardener of 10+ years I can confirm that what he did was a brilliant job. He didn't kill any grass, he cut it back so now it can breathe and get propper sunlight and grow back healthier. Good job.
You do not cut grass that low during summer months. You want to keep the grass at the highest length so that the roots stay moisturize. Cutting grass that low puts a strain on your yard during extreme heat. I’m sure of this because it’s the rule I go by and my yard has never went dormant. And I live in the Midwest where summers are very hot.
And I’ve been doing landscaping for 20+ yrs

Check back in three days - it's just fine.
I landscaped for 13 years and we would scalp grass all the time but I was always taught that you do not do it all in one go. You'll want to cut the grass at the highest point of the push mowers setting while bagging it then drop it down one then next time you cut it (usually every week), you then cut it mid way down the mowers notch the next week. Then you scalp the grass and water well and let it grow to about ankle height before cutting it again. (Also never scalp grass in a drought or hottest season)
This guy knows!! ^^^^
My neighbor just recently cut his yard . . . I call it more of a scalping. It ruined his grass in the Florida heat, even with watering. It continues to turn brown.
I have a neighbor like this. He constantly asks why mine looks so green and healthy. It's because I cut it at 4 inches, that's the max height on my mower. (And that's about how deep the roots are.) He scalps his, saying he doesn't like to mow, and thinks he won't have to mow as often. I asked "How often do you mow?"
He replied "Every Thursday." (He drinks and parties on Fri and Sat, hungover on Sunday.)
I said "Raise your mower as high as it will go, and then mow every Thursday. The first week, you may only hit the high clumps. The 2nd week, you'll be cutting about half the grass, and by the 3rd week you'll be cutting it all. It will green up beautifully."
After 2 weeks he went back to scalping and subsoiling, saying "Hell, it doesn't look like I was doing anything!".
I warned him it was going to kill his lawn, but he didn't care, wouldn't have to mow at all then. It did, yard turned to a mud hole, their 2 kids and all their friends ruined the carpet. She made him replace it all. They now have cardboard and plywood on the front yard. Gorgeous, lawn of the year.
When it's hot, better to leave the grass be. Cutting it just makes it dry out, just as you saw.
I'm in Texas. For the best grass and least water requirements, set your mower on the highest setting ... and if you can, mow twice a week. Also, only water deeply, twice per week.
Australia is different
Same as mine, cuts it almost down to the dirt. It's thinned over the years and now bare in the centre. Throws his clippings over the back fence into an unutilised weedy area where they have formed a nice big compost pile against his timber fence, presumably rotting it. I've started using his clippings pile to mulch over the weeds and around the trees I've planted over there, and hopefully save their fence. Waste not, want not.
I hired TruGreen to service my lawn because it was looking like this lawn (the after-mowing)I was told that it was mowed too low and when the lawn is mowed very low, the actual crowns of the grass plants themselves can be injured by the lawnmower blade, and this opens up a host of cascading problems. As the plant puts all its energy into recovering from the crown damage, it opens up a weakness in the lawn, increasing the pressure from weeds, insects, and diseases. I actually had been paying someone to mow my yard, so when I was finally able to afford a riding mower, I set the blades higher, and my lawn is now looking so green and lush.
The grass doesn’t look that bad to me. But, the grass will grow back and look good and green overtime. If it keeps getting cut at the correct time it’ll fix itself.
Hi Tim, please come to Melbourne to do the lawnmower for my house please
When can you coming?
Shouldn't cut no more than 2/3 of the height of the lawn. If the sun is going to be hot never cut it short. It will definitely burn out.
Where did you get that ratio from?
When it's that long you need to cut it right back.
It's a grass so it will be fine.
Looks good to me😊
Cutting it too short can hurt the grass since it stresses it out. It will turn brown and might take longer to recover. It also depends on whether it gets very hot.
I was waiting for the 'destroyed the lawns' part? I thought he did a good job!
What if you bought an off road hoverboard with larger tires for the grass and be able to push the lawnmower that much faster that would cut your time in half or less which will make you more money yes quicker and allow you to get more clients in. End of year profits could triple
It as too tall. It will be green again in a few days.
He didn't destroy the lawn , he gave it a haircut and exposed what was going on underneath. Good job !
That's not a lawn it's a patch of grass.
Looks a lot better than before if you ask me
He hasnt killed the grass as such hes just cut too much from the length before. With regular watering and sunlight it should grow back no bother but he did cut it uncorrectly.
Grass generally speaking should never be cut more than half the length that its currenlty at in one attempt. Take half the grass off max then wait 4-5days before taking the same off again. That is the safest way to maintain life in grass... afterall it is just another plant!😊
Someone once said, it is not ignorance which is the greatest enemy of intelligence, but the illusion of intelligence.
The lawn will recover he gave it exactly what it needed it was very overgrown from the start if he's doing this for a customer it may also be what the customer wanted done
Cutting it short allows light to hit the roots causing the roots to grow deeper for water & making for a more healthier lawn.
This is why cutting frequently 2-3 times a week is good for grass. At first it will look ugly, but after you’ll have a nice 1inch thick green lawn
This is not killing
This is mowing
He didn't destroy his lawn, he maintained it
I've done this and people think you kill the lawn but in reality they kill it by now mowing when needed
Grass is a plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in a lawn and other places. Grass gets water from the roots in the ground. Grass is usually pigmented with the colour ‘green’. Grasses are monocotyledon, herbaceous plants.
The grasses include the "grass", of the family Poaceae (also called Gramineae). Also sometimes it is used to include the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae). These three families are not closely related but belong to different clades in the order Poales. They are similar adaptations to a common life-style.
The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Uses for graminoids include food (as grain, sprouted grain, shoots or rhizomes), drink (beer, whisky), pasture for livestock, thatching thatch, paper, fuel, clothing, insulation, construction, sports turf, basket weaving and many others.
Many grasses are short, but some grasses, like bamboo can grow very tall. Plants from the grass family can grow in many places, even if they are very cold or very dry. Several other plants that look similar but are not members of the grass family are also sometimes called grass; these include rushes, reeds, papyrus, and water chestnut.
Grasses are an important food for many animals, like 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. Without grass, dirt can wash away into rivers (erosion). Graminoids include some of the most versatile plant life-forms. They became widespread toward the end of the Cretaceous. Fossilized dinosaur dung (coprolites) have been found containing grass phytoliths (silica stones inside grass leaves). Grasses have adapted to conditions in lush rain forests, dry deserts, cold mountains and even intertidal habitats, and are now the most widespread plant type. Grass is a valuable source of food and energy for many animals.Lawn grass is often planted on sports fields and in the area around a building. Sometimes chemicals and water is used to help lawns to grow.
People have used grasses for a long time. People eat parts of grasses. Corn, wheat, barley, oats, rice and millet are cereals, common grains whose seeds are used for food and to make alcohol such as beer.
Sugar comes from sugar cane, which is also a plant in the grass family. People have grown grasses as food for farm animals for about 4,000 years. People use bamboo to build houses, fences, furniture and other things. Grass plants can also be used as fuel, to cover roofs, and to weave baskets. n English, the word "grass" appears in several phrases. For example: "The grass is always greener on the other side" means "people are never happy with what they have and want something else." "Don't let the grass grow under your feet" means "Do something". "A snake in the grass" is about a person that will not be honest and will trick others.
Grass is sometimes used as a slang term for cannabis (also called pot, weed, or marijuana) The Grass type (Japanese: くさタイプ Grass type) is one of the eighteen types. Prior to changes in Generation IV, all damaging Grass-type moves were special, but they may now also be physical depending on the attack. Grass-type Pokémon are immune to Leech Seed. Grass-type Pokémon are immune to Leech Seed Starting in Generation VI, Grass-type Pokémon are immune to powder and spore moves and Effect Spore.Grass types are tied with Rock in having the most weaknesses out of all types with five. Since Generation I, a particular asset of Grass types is being the only type that is immune to Leech Seed. As of Generation VI, Grass-type Pokémon are also immune to powder and spore moves, such as Sleep Powder and Stun Spore. Additionally, Grass Pokémon are the only ones affected by Rototiller and Flower Shield. Those moves raise both attack stats or the physical Defense stat, respectively, when used. Forest's Curse adds the Grass type to the target's types. Grass-type attacks are resisted by seven types, so they're tied with Bug as the most resisted type. Those resistant types are best covered by Rock and Ground. As of Generation VI, Dark and Ghost have neutral matchups against every type that resists Grass. When Grassy Terrain is in the effect, the power of Grass-type moves is increased by 30% (50% prior to Generation VIII) if the user is on the ground.
Contest properties In contests, Grass-type moves are typically Clever moves, but can also be any of the other four contest conditions. As of Generation VIII, there are 112 Grass-type Pokémon or 12.27% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Grass-type in at least one of their forms), making it the third most common type after Normal and before Flying.
A Pokémon with Protean or Libero will become a Grass-type Pokémon if it uses a Grass-type move. A Pokémon with Color Change, Imposter, Mimicry, RKS System, or Multitype will become a Grass-type Pokémon if (respectively) it is hit with a Grass-type move, is sent out against a Grass-type opponent, if the terrain is grassy, if it is holding a Grass Memory, or if it is holding a Meadow Plate or Grassium Z. Since Generation VI, Grass-type Pokémon are also immune to Effect Spore; Only Grass-type Pokémon can have these Abilities. This does not include signature Abilities.Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG, Grass generally adopts all Bug-type Pokémon under its typing. It also adopted Poison-type Pokémon prior to the Diamond & Pearl set, after which they were moved to Psychic. Similar to the games, Grass-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to Fire and resist Water.
Grass-type Pokémon are strong against Fighting and Water Pokémon, whilst Metal Pokémon resisted it until the EX Power Keepers expansion set. Generation V introduced the most Grass-type Pokémon of any generation, with 21 (including Rotom's Mow form), and Generation VI introduced the fewest Grass-type Pokémon, with nine. Generation I introduced the most Grass-type moves of any generation, with 10, and Generation II introduced the fewest Grass-type moves, with three.
The Grass type and/or Pokémon of the type have been referred to using the term "plant" instead on some occasions: In the English Generation I games, the Gym guide in Cerulean Gym refers to Pokémon of the Grass type as "plant Pokémon". In the English versions of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, he instead mentions "Grass-type Pokémon". In the Japanese versions of the Generation I games and FireRed and LeafGreen, he mentions the Grass type itself, calling it the "Plant type" (Japanese: しょくぶつタイプ). Another reference to "plant Pokémon" (Japanese: しょくぶつポケモン) is made by Professor Oak in the Japanese Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue, and international Pokémon Red and Blue, classifying Bulbasaur as such when the player is about to choose it as their starter. This is also the case in the Japanese versions of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen; in contrast, he calls it the "grass Pokémon" in the English versions. This same reference is also used in the first episode of Pokémon Origins.
In multiple languages, such as French and German, the Grass type is translated as the Plant type. The Turkish dub of the anime occasionally refers to "Grass type" as "Plant type". The Grass type has the most Pokémon that evolve by Evolution stones, with a total of 11. It is also the type that can utilize the most stones, having at least one Pokémon that can evolve via the Leaf Stone, Sun Stone, Water Stone, and Shiny Stone.The Grass type is the only type to have more than one HP-draining move, having five of them. Grass-type attacks deal doubly super-effective damage to the most Pokémon of all types. Grass-type attacks are super effective against the three types that Fire types are weak to. Fire is the only type that hasn't been paired with Grass. In Tree's a Crowd, Brock states that Grass-type Pokémon resist Electric-type moves due to being able to diffuse the electricity into trees and the ground. He also explains that if Grass types are in the air, they cannot diffuse the electricity from Electric attacks, thereby dealing normally effective damage.
Now that you have read this much about grass, maybe you should go and touch some...
Its yellow because the homeowner did this to themselves neglecting it like this. Keep it manageable and dont complain. You did great.
The grass basically goes to sleep when it rains and so mowing over it while it’s “sleeping” can stunt the growth and overall kill your lawn.
He could just get a lawn robot and it would cut that daily little at a time and he could go barbecue or soak in his pool...😂😂😂
Only someone that doesn't know how to take care of a yard would think he killed it. Grass is super resilient.
He certainly did not destroy the lawn.
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 are where grasses are dominant. They cover 40.5% of the land area of the Earth, but not 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, 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 dry 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 part of the reason why the plants are so successful.
Without grass, more soil might wash away into rivers (erosion).
Evolution of grass
Grasses include some of the most versatile plant life-forms. They became widespread toward the end of the Cretaceous. Fossilized dinosaur dung (coprolites) have been found containing grass phytoliths (silica stones inside grass leaves).[8] Grasses have adapted to conditions in lush rain forests, dry deserts, cold mountains and even intertidal habitats, and are now the most widespread plant type. Grass is a valuable source of food and energy for many animals.[9]
Grass and people
Lawn grass is often planted on sports fields and in the area around a building. Sometimes chemicals and water is used to help lawns to grow.
People have used grasses for a long time. People eat parts of grasses. Corn, wheat, barley, oats, rice and millet are cereals, common grains whose seeds are used for food and to make alcohol such as beer.
Sugar comes from sugar cane, which is also a plant in the grass family. People have grown grasses as food for farm animals for about 4,000 years. People use bamboo to build houses, fences, furniture and other things. Grass plants can also be used as fuel, to cover rooves, and to weave baskets.

In English, the word "grass" appears in several phrases. For example:
"The grass is always greener on the other side" means "people are never happy with what they have and want something else".

"A snake in the grass" is about a person that will not be honest and will trick others.
All flesh is grass: Old Testament book of Isaiah, chapter 40, verses 6-8. A very true observation of the present-day ecology. See the Miocene for the ecological relevance.
Grass is a slang term for cannabis (pot, weed, or marijuana). Cannabis looks like a grass, but it is actually a rosid.

Grass on the bottom can get sun light and the photosynthesize that light.
That yellow will green up very quickly with regular watering.
***OK, WHY WAS IT DESTROYED....*** im guessing by cutting it in a proper manor, he DESTROYED the height of it
I wonder if future humans will wonder why so many of us socially reinforced the burning of so much fuel for the arguably aesthetic landscaping of grass.
This is called dethatching. It’s like shaving for grass.
He did not destroy that lawn the grass was destroyed because whoever wasn't taking care of it and it got too long. That yard looked beautiful when he got done with it!
Depends on how often they want it cut. Most people don't care about the yellow, the want the cut to last as long as possible. Bi weekly cuts need to be lower and weekly cuts can be a little higher.
I'm willing to bet that,that litte patch of grass was a 16x32 swimming pool
How'd he 'destroy' his lawn? He did a damn good job.
Probably because the homeowner asked for a certain length, and he gave that to them
He didn't destroy this yard he cleaned it up and getting it back under control yeah it might be yellow and brown right now but 3 or 4 more mowings and it's gonna be green and healthy and probably looking awesome!!
Actually, I thought, he cut it too short. It was a bit overgrown, and it began creating shade, over other grasses. Nope, he did it just right.
Reminds me of my x girlfriends house her and the 2 other women would never mow the yard it’s was so tall the neighbors would complain about it and when i showed up and mowed it for free with my mower and gas the neighbors actually came over and told me I am doing an amazing job and they were happy to see a real man keeping up on the outside of the house and when i broke up with her I left my mower and gas can so they can do it them self or the next guy can at least I did my part and left it easy for the next person
He didn’t kill it. It just wasn’t maintained. It looks like fescue (could be wrong), and it looks like he cut it to the correct height (3 inches). If watered properly and soil conditions are good, it will grow back green. The yellowing is because it too much had to be cut in one mow
It’s far from dead. It’s the start of tte return to glory.
Bro is cutring that big ass grass, who knows what moved in it lol
my neighbour 6am is the morning:
It looks fine to me 🤷🏻♂️. I’ve been mowing lawns for 6 years.
He did exactly what that Yard was begging for him to do!
Gotta love when someone takes the time to make a video about something that have no idea about. Man, people suck
