Agree with you 100%. I started Core Aerating about 10 years ago and it's done wonders to my Lawn. I also do every other year followed by Jonathan Green Black Beauty Ultra Grass Seed and the yard is dark green and plush.
I’ll get a good core aeration this fall. Then get my backyard renovated as well. It’s fried right now, which is good less work for me this fall 😂😂😂. But I have been feeding the soil micronutrients so when it’s time the soil is ready. Good vid ❤
Thank you for your efforts! You explain things every simple and I appreciate that so much! I'm a recent widow and live in a place where I don't know anyone or anyone I can trust so I'm learning to do things by myself now. Thank you and God bless!
@@81carters I would indeed do my own lawn twice a year. However, I know for a fact that I could clean up rather nicely with some of the neighbors on my street. It's like a chain reaction. One person has the service done. The next thing we know 6 or 7 homes also have their lawns serviced as well.
Wouldn't be a bad idea to top dress after core aerating as well, so you're always introducing new soil into the holes and lawn. But it can be spendy and money is tight right now.
I aerated once and didn't gather the cores like you said in the video. I dressed it with loam on top and was left with a very bumpy lawn. I think the cores never broke down and created mounds? Maybe the ground wasn't dry enough when I aerated? Did you get a bumpy lawn after aerating?
I was thinking of trying it again this fall but also thinking about renting a roller and roll out those cores so make sure they're flat. I'm so sad my lawn is bumpy. Takes the enjoyment out of mowing.
@@LawnAmateur Yeah I ended up buying the Mantis and will be tilling the back. I’ll probably mix topsoil in, just didn’t know if you did the same. Thanks D!!
One year I'll aerate and overseed late summer and then late fall winterize the lawn by fertilizing and pre emergent. Next year I'll dethatch and overseed and winterize the lawn with fertilizer and pre emergent
I have a irrigation system as well. I have used the machine before just make sure you mark were your heads are. If you hit one it will damage the head. The pipes will be fine

It definitely makes a huge difference
Would love to hear you make a video about what got you interested in lawn care. Talk a little bit about how you got in to it.
I can definitely do something like that in the future
If it worked for you then Im all for it 💪🏾 you’ve definitely come a long way!!
A very long way 🤣🤣

Wow, fried 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️. Just gather your supplies for the fall

Thank you for your support. I really appreciate it 🙏🏾
I'm definitely looking forward to doing this during the early fall of this year. I wish aerators were about a $1k cheaper to own.
It'll definitely be a good machine to own
You wouldn’t use it but once maybe twice a year. IMO better just to rent.
@81carters very true but you could always aerate a few neighbors yard too

Thanks for this tip I have learned a lot from your videos,,, I enjoy working in my yard
No problem Thank you for your support 👌🏾

That's definitely not a bad idea, but it can get very expensive in today's market
Good reminder for the fall! Thanks
No problem 👌🏾
Great channel thanks again brother
Thank you 👌🏾
Thank you 🙏 for this very important videos 🙌🙌🙌🙌
No problem 👌🏾
That machine is a beast.
Yes it is
Thanks for reminding me about aerating 😂 informative video 👍🏼
This is a very important step to lawn care
What seed have you been using for your overseeding? Looking to supplement what I have now. Thanks for everything!
Turf type tall fescue by Greenview

That never happened to me. The cores always broke down from what I witnessed
D when you did the back yard renovation what type of topsoil did use?
I didn't use any topsoil. I tilled the whole yard and repaired the nutrients back into the existing soil
@@LawnAmateur Yeah I ended up buying the Mantis and will be tilling the back. I’ll probably mix topsoil in, just didn’t know if you did the same. Thanks D!!
How do you deal with core aerating/overseeding and fall application of pre-emergent? Every other year plan, switching between each?
One year I'll aerate and overseed late summer and then late fall winterize the lawn by fertilizing and pre emergent.
Next year I'll dethatch and overseed and winterize the lawn with fertilizer and pre emergent
How long between overseeding and pre emergent do you typically wait? As always, thank you for your channel!
@markhousman8447 atleast 3 mows on the new seed to give them time to establish themselves
Great tips and reminder!
Thank you 👌🏾
Do you have a link to the machine you're using for your aeration machine?
No I don't. But it's available at home depot
@LawnAmateur Okay thanks!
*Yo what’s up with the 70’s Porn Music?!? LOL* 😂
🤣🤣. Smooth
@@LawnAmateur
*LOL!!!*
What cultivars have you seeded with?
I'm not sure of the actual name of the actual blend but it's Greenview Turf type tall fescue
👍 😎 🤙
👌🏾
I have a in ground sprinkler system how far does the spikes go dwn without the breaking any underground pipes
This gets about 3 to 4 inches into the soil
I have a irrigation system as well. I have used the machine before just make sure you mark were your heads are. If you hit one it will damage the head. The pipes will be fine
@@ski874 kool deal thanks
How did you get that machine home?
Pickup truck
@@LawnAmateur Was it light enough to lift it in and out of the truck?

You recommend overseeding after core aerating?
Yes. That should be done every single time. That is the perfect thing to do after aeration
And what type of seed brand do you recommend for the Virginia area?@@LawnAmateur
@JoseGonzalez-kc8sg to me it doesn't matter about the brand. Its all about proper care to me. Anything can look good.
💪
👌🏾
