Great advice Jeremy! Pleasant video to watch.
Thanks PJ! I really appreciate you!
Just a 30 year old woman who’s never looked after a lawn before. About to go press a button on my strimmer and hope for the best … after watching this 😂
Lmk what u come up with 😅😅😅
I just did it again today for my spot 😂
My arms are shaking from fatigue but it’s done 😂 my lawn appears to be growing some thick bush like weed here and there 😅 I’ve got some learning to do!
@@laurenminton6133 email me pics of weed info@diygrasscare I can help you identify and get rid of it!
Well done on your hard work!
@@laurenminton6133 Start lifting weights. Don't be helpless.
@DDD11239 Start being kinder. Don't be rude to someone who is clearly helping themselves and taking action, by taking their lawn maintenance into their own hands, a new skill they're actively having to learn and strengthen. That is not helplessness. You just want a reason to hate on a woman you don't know. L behaviour
Thanks mine got about that long and weedy , and I tried going at it with the mower while making the mower do a wheelie , I should have watched you first
lol I some times will put the back of my mower one level lower with the front all the way up… but it’s not when it’s this long lol so it is an awesome technique for slightly long for sure!
Mine is more like 2-feet, it’s reseeding. I want to remove it snd make a much smaller green area. I just wanted to see what would happen if I stopped mowing and watering. Surprised that two years of winter rains kept the lawn alive. But to remove it, we have to be able to get to the bottom of it. The thatch underneath is extreme.
It happens sometimes.. I let my grandparents yard go for 5 weeks because I didn't have time to drive into the city and go cut it and no one else did it for me.. hacked it with a trimmer first then double cut it with my mower, turned out perfect in the end
🫶🏻 it Andy! Such good stuff. Every use the timer first?
Did you bag or side discharge?
Thank you this video really helped me a lot I really appreciate it boss 💯
💚 to hear it! Glad to help! 👌🏻
love the shirt! Thanks for the tips, I let part of my yard get high as an experiment and now my arm is about to pay the price
lol how did your experiment go?
I forgot about that shirt… my wife must of throw it away as I haven’t seen it in a year or two lol
Absolutely fabulous video tysm for the sound advice!
Glad to assist Jojo
Wild 1.7 meter tall grass huh
Yea, I neglected it for the video. Needed the footage.
Very helpful video and steps J! It's gonna be 5 days since I mowed, as the rain for the past 3 days has kept me from mowing. Gonna be interesting in Utah with only one watering a week when we hit the century mark! Maybe we won't be able to mow for a month or so due to dormant turf?
Once a week watering is sustainable .. do it every year up to 95.. but would do it over if I have to.
Great video brother, I can't believe how tall it was .
It got a bit outta hand. But we had no water to rebound it so I didn’t want to stress it.
First Aussie 😁. Get your mow on more. 😎
There he is!
I read everywhere: only cut off one third at a time. How long should I wait between cutting off the second third? It seems you are just doing these steps right after the previous step, but doesn't that kill the grass?
Nope, as you aren’t taking off more then 1/3 of the blade in only one swipe or pass with the mower. Key is to go slow with it to bring it down. And you can do it all in one time if you take your time and don’t cut more then 1/3 in a swipe.
Thanks for the tip! I had sod installed 5 weeks ago and did the first cut today. Grass was super long so I was worried about what would happen if I cut more than a 3rd of it. Should I water immediately after mowing?
💯 yes! Help it de stress!
Great video I had to do the same today. How long so you keep cutting on high, when can you start to lower as my grass looks a mess LOL THANK YOU
Personally, I would take it down to the level you want it in that one day just drop your level of your mower with your bag on it until you get to the level you want it and then just rebound it with water. If you’re going to go for it just go all in and then rebound it.
Thank you for the quick response. I will let the rain do its job the next few days and do another cut on a slightly lower setting.
@@msmacthankQsmart and solid plan!
Goats!
lol let em have it!
After using the strimmer should i pick up grass and put in bag or just collect it with lawnmower?
Either way, I just used my bag on my mower. But if the amount is out of control, you could def collect it before by raking it up.
cool vid dude, you like those grips?
thinkin bout pickin up some
Yes!! So def worth it!

How ya been? Haven’t talked to you in a hot minute!!
Is it weird that I'm reading you guys conversations 😳 🤔 👀 😅
@@cristobalroman16 nope not at all, come on it…. 👌🏻
Is taking the weed eater to it first the only option of knocking it down? Is there another option? I’m dealing with two feet tall grass.
Scythe … tbh, a weed eater is the best tool for even longer lawns, or a brush clearing tool amzn.to/435vee5
What would I use for mowing overgrown weeds as tall as the waist?
A strong string trimmer
Or brush trimmer. You can rent a brush trimmer as some rental shops
Need to do this. My neighbours lawn is about 4foot high at the moment lol! Her petrol mower keeps conking out when I try to cut it and she only has an electric strimmer which is useless. Thinking I need to go and buy a petrol strimmer and maybe she needs a new mower as this one seems to die even on short grass with the grass getting jammed up in the bucket.
When fighting a forest gas is an awesome method to go after it 🫣🙃🫣
Are they cutting it wet to clog it up?
@@TheGreenerLawn I’m the only one who cuts it as she’s an old lady (mid 80s), I’ve only cut it on hot days when the grass is dry but it’s very thick and the mower is old
@@Adjust91 ahh I’d the deck rusty or lost it’s coating, causing it to stick, or maybe old poor design?
@@TheGreenerLawn very rusty bud, I think it’s time to just get a new mower 😅 if I can find a way to take the lid off I may be able to cut it and just let the grass fly out the back. Thanks for replying btw :)
@@Adjust91 just be careful for rocks, one do those to
The shin isn’t awesome.
Anytime, I love the interaction!
Quite helpful but what is that cutter called to cut grown grass please
String trimmer (weed eater).
@@TheGreenerLawn thank u very much indeed
I think the answer is what I thought… and I need to buy a string trimmer!!!!!
Very handy at clearing tall grass and weeds 4 sure!
Still using the Oregon Blades?
I just started using them on my timemaster
Yup! Love them!
@@TheGreenerLawn me 2. Just started to use them. Hell of a difference.
Thank you for suggesting them
That's what she said.
😉
I have this problem right now , but the reason for that is because I have 2 large bald spot that I resend and don’t want to run the mower over it just yet so I been waiting for 3 weeks for the new grass to be able to get cut. But so far the blades are only about 2 inch.
Hey! So, did you use a starter fertilizer when you seeded? If so what?
What height do you want to mow at?
How are you watering?
@@TheGreenerLawn right now I am not watering because it’s been raining once or twice a week , and it has not been hotter than 65 degree here.the reason I am concern about cutting now is because I am not sure how high I need to let new lawn get before I can attempt to cut it , maybe u can shred some light
@@1989rrichard there isn’t a height requirement. You cut at the level you want to pants in it at. Once you start cutting it at that level it will thicken up 👌🏻
@@TheGreenerLawn are I referring to the new grass ? Because that’s what I am referring to , the old lawn is literally like 10-12 inch tall now but the reason for they is because I didn’t want to cut the lawn yet since new seeds were down , now that the new seeds are about 2 inch tall I am asking if it’s safe to cut that or should wait till they are about 3-4 inches to cut it and the old grass at the same level
@@1989rrichard you were supposed to keep mowing the non-bare areas, so they don’t grow long. The bare areas you’re supposed to skip those until it’s the appropriate height so you are good to mow the non-bear areas even if you over seated in there just keep your foot traffic to a minimum mow it and get off it.
Should I mulch or bag
During long grass cutting like this yes, so you don't leave large chucks of grass everywhere.
In general, this short will explain it well czcams.com/users/shortsXa_94PkxjUO?
si=ePST7MQFN9_CziwO
So if I understand correctly, it's gradually cut /reduce height of grass with string trimmer first? Before mowing?
Yea, so you’re not bogging your mower down, allowing it to work more Efficiently. Also, if you string trim it at a slow pace brining it down in smaller chunks, it will Minimize the yellowing. Try not to take off more then 1/3 the blade in any one swipe or mower pass.
@@TheGreenerLawn oh you mean 1/3 of grass blade. I'm assuming.
Guess I should invest in a string trimmer. Or rent one out. My grass is fairly tall. Unfortunately I've been quite busy and my dad was on vacation. But if it's string trimmer I need I'll hit up hardware store tomorrow
@@CEA9234 yes, lol. Let me clarify.
As you string trim,
Cut less then 1/3 of the grass blade per pass of the trimmer. Take it slower. So if it’s 9” tall,
Take 3” or less on the first pass now it’s at 6”, do 2” or less, now when your at 4” or 5” you can use your mower on highest setting. Then lowering your mower similar to how your sting trimmer was.
Oh, I've been doing the opposite. Lesson learned.
Are you using an electric weed trimmer? or is that a gass powered one?
Battery powered. Ego string trimmer. amzn.to/3J6Omzc
@@TheGreenerLawn thank you!
Great approach to no water. Shade the soil and roots while you couldn't water and helped preserve it until watering was available. Looks like it worked 👍💚🦸♀
Yup, worked well, always my best part of my yard, not nutients and neglected… but in shade 🤣
I am crying. I am a 6 woman facing this daunting task. Jeremy can I email you and ask questions?
Heck yea! Please do! Let’s get you all the help you need! Info@diygrasscare.com
Ha! I meant I am a 60 yo woman who no longer has the strength to tackle this in a day. Will email you soon! Thanks.
4 acres?
I mean… if you want to… but def not the way I’d go 🫣🫣🫣
How to manage 12 inches?? A question that every woman has asked herself at least once. 😂
😉
Couldn't i just use gasoline?
lol yes
@@TheGreenerLawn It's like dang sorry about burning 🔥 up your central ac and the fire damage on the side of your house 🏠 😬 😳
@@airheadusmc3821 lol right?
That’s not gonna work on an acre
lol it would… BUT….. 🫣🫣🫣
@@TheGreenerLawn it would but customer would be paying $1 each blade of grass
@@TheGreenerLawn would never ever take on an acre with a weed eater, I did it with a push mower once and that was the last time for that
Messy boy
No water, didn’t want to put this to sleep as well, like my front…. I’m almost rebounded tho!
