I was telling my wife I’ve haven’t seen you in awhile. So happy your back, can’t wait for your 2022 videos. I like live BYD and Rob Henry, but I really love your videos..
Duuuude! This saved me so much time! I have the dethatcher machine but I did not want to clean up my entire yard!! The lawn mower trick is so great!!! Thank you🙋🏽♀️😍
Its definitely time. The weather changed pretty quickly here so I was able to get started alittle earlier than expected. I appreciate the support thanks for tuning in
😂 the lawn mower who knew i was gonna say the sunjoe seemed to be the way to go but it would still be labor but bam the lawn mower working smarter lol and i see that greenup back in no time!! #tunedin
Not so sure a lawn mower can get down into the thatch layer and bring it up to the surface. A lawnmower is good to pick up the grass AFTER the lawn is dethatched.
@@bobziadie2988 yea AFTER is what i was referring to he asked if we knew what he’d use to pick up after dethatching i said the way to go because it seemed to be a lot of labor with the rake vs the sunjoe with cleanup he knew what i was referring to
The rake is the way to go, because you can get a lot of exercise for the heart and overall body, plus it's a way to develop some upper body muscles and arms toning!
Hey pal. I just wanted to let you know that I just did a portion of my lawn (first available nice day here in jersey) and oh my god already it looks like a new lawn. I can NOT believe my eyes and it’s only day one. I owe you such a huge thank you and when this is all said and done after following all your advice I would love to send you something. A token of my appreciation if you will. Thank you a million thank yous and I hope something real good happens to you super soon. Your happy follower and fan for life, Gregg
I appreciate your support I'm glad I could help. You'll definitely be happy with the results. It doesn't take much just a little time and care and you'll turn your lawn into something to be proud of. Thank you again
Wow you are an incredible teacher. Holy crap I am super impressed with what you showed us today and can’t wait to get out there and try this myself. Thank you sooooooo much for this video my man.
@@LawnAmateur oh I am having this problem and didn’t know it until I saw your video. I am like brand new at this lawn thing. Started last year late June so I only had those few months and this is my first spring ever doing this so yeah you have helped this guy out a lot!! I am truly grateful for you and your videos. 🙏
Oh here we go! I can't wait! This time Imma just gonna go buy lush green paint...ain't nobody got the time or coinage for all this. Seriously though, it's good to see ya again & looking forward. :)
I put down the tenacity about 10 days back and it's doing the job with the existing weeds, it takes a while but it does the job. I also put down lime last Wednesday and then after Easter I will use starter fert and also overseed as my lawn needs it after a bit of neglect last year. Looking forward to new videos from you and also a new season of yard work.
Yea tenacity does take awhile to show that its working. That definitely sounds like a great plan you got going forward. Temperatures should be rising going forward so that'll help the overseed process.
Great video and explanation. There's something about getting all that crap out of the lawn that is satisfying. I had a heavy problem with all that dead material. I got the sunjoe three years ago. The fist year I detach aggressively three different times cant believe how much crap came out. Second year did it 2 times and wasn't as much. I try it a week ago and nothing really came out. I think that the new clippings die in top of the thatch and never decompose creating more and more.
Thank you and yes that stuff build up very quickly and before you know it you'll have a thick layer of thatch smothering out your good lawn and a brown under tone that doesn't look pleasant. This was my first time dethatching this backyard and this lawn is going on 3years old this year so it was due.
The sun joe is definitely a must have for DIY owners and the grounds keeper is a great rake also they didn't have any available in the store at the time I went
I cut mine then said you know it really needs to be detached so i used the other attachment that goes deeper because i think my grass really needed it. I love my Sun Joe i did it manually years ago. I said never again. I did have to rake afterwards because my mower didn't pull up the dead stuff and i cut it down to 2 inches.. hoping to fill in those patches so I'm trying to really get it right. Have some clovers so i think my Ph is off ugh
Did mine right after i cut. I said oh my i had 3 brown bags of junk... hoping to get nice green within a few weeks enjoying this rain where i do not need to water lol
Yes. You can most definitely dethatch St. Augustine grass with this yard tool. Just check when its the right time to dethatch St. Augustine grass and you should be good to go.
Thank you I'm looking to overseed probably this week or later this week I'm just eyeing the forecast right now to see some consistent weather thats staying above 40 degree night temp
@@terim7144Low because the first step is to cut the grass low with your mower, then dethatch, then pick up the thatch with the lawn mower that same day so the lawn mower blades stay at the same height.
come on now .. who's kiddin who ? That SUN JOE RULES !!! #1 first cut the grass short #2 run the machine North / South on the lawn #3 use the lawn mower to pick up the dead grass #4 run the machine east/west on the lawn to remove any dead grass you missed the first time . #5 mow up the dead grass again . #6 if your going to over seed - now install the scarifying blade and run the machine again #7 now mow the lawn again . #8 spread the seed #9 water it daily
I bought a similar brand but found out that it had limited effectiveness in my large yard. I needed an extension cord about 175 feet and rated high. I have a 100 footer, but when I plugged in a 75 footer to the 100, it lost a lot of power. I have a 28,000 square foot lawn and my electric machine just could not handle doing such a big yard. Great on small yards but not in big yards.
I was telling my wife I’ve haven’t seen you in awhile. So happy your back, can’t wait for your 2022 videos. I like live BYD and Rob Henry, but I really love your videos..
I'm back and thank you I really appreciate the support
Can't wait to see your 2022 lawn journey mine hasn't started yet maybe in another week 😀
It'll be here before you know it. Mine started a little earlier than expected so it was time to get to work
Looking good brother good to see you back
Thank you. Thanks for tuning back in
Duuuude! This saved me so much time! I have the dethatcher machine but I did not want to clean up my entire yard!! The lawn mower trick is so great!!! Thank you🙋🏽♀️😍
Yes the lawn mower trick is a time saver lol work smarter not harder I'm glad I could help.
Yes siirrrrrr! Waking her up from her nap…lol…I see it coming….Coach “J “

Always work smarter not harder. Do everything in one motion lol and yes the lawn is moving quickly.
Not so sure a lawn mower can get down into the thatch layer and bring it up to the surface. A lawnmower is good to pick up the grass AFTER the lawn is dethatched.

1 of my fave lawn tubers. Nice
Thank you

I stopped raking after I bought my back pack leaf blower, it come in handy year round, I even use it on the snow…lol..
Thats right work smarter not harder lol
Wow you are an incredible teacher. Holy crap I am super impressed with what you showed us today and can’t wait to get out there and try this myself. Thank you sooooooo much for this video my man.
No problem I'm glad I could help and show different ways to handle this situation if you are having this problem.

awesome job brother. can't wait to see how it turns out.

Thanks for the great information
No problem Thank you for tuning in

Good info man I like ur vids cuz you use the basic things that a normal person would have lol
Thats what its all about. Tools that are easy accessible that'll help you get the job done. Thank you for your support I'm glad I could help

I love tenacity.. been having rain so couldn't spray but i did get my seed and fertilizer down.
I forgot what does lime do?
@@TanyaScorpio lime raises the soil ph

Love my SunJoe too. Make sure folks get the heavy duty extension cord.
Its definitely a great tool for the DIY homeowners.
Good video. Looks like your a few weeks ahead of me . I love my sun Joe but thinking of getting a groundskeeper 2 rake.
The sun joe is definitely a must have for DIY owners and the grounds keeper is a great rake also they didn't have any available in the store at the time I went
I cut mine then said you know it really needs to be detached so i used the other attachment that goes deeper because i think my grass really needed it. I love my Sun Joe i did it manually years ago. I said never again. I did have to rake afterwards because my mower didn't pull up the dead stuff and i cut it down to 2 inches.. hoping to fill in those patches so I'm trying to really get it right.
Have some clovers so i think my Ph is off ugh
I still like to do it manually but that sun joe is a great tool to have for us DIY folks
Did mine right after i cut. I said oh my i had 3 brown bags of junk... hoping to get nice green within a few weeks enjoying this rain where i do not need to water lol
Yes dethatching is important I didn't get to do it last fall so I had to do it this spring.
You think this would work on St Augustine grass in Florida?
Yes. You can most definitely dethatch St. Augustine grass with this yard tool. Just check when its the right time to dethatch St. Augustine grass and you should be good to go.
Great job as always !! With night temps still in mid 30’s when are you planning to over seed? Thanks
Thank you I'm looking to overseed probably this week or later this week I'm just eyeing the forecast right now to see some consistent weather thats staying above 40 degree night temp
What kind of mower do u have?!
I have a snapper lawn mower. I purchased from Walmart a few seasons ago
An electric dethatcher/scarifier is a must.
I agree. Its a great tool for the DIY home owner
Man, when i was young i was all about chasing tail. Now it's all about my lawn. Ya feel me?
🤣🤣✊🏾
Hi Are you mowing hi or low?
In this video I'm dethatching but I mow my grass high
@@LawnAmateur Correction: When mowing to collect the thatched clippings is the mower high or low 🙂
@@terim7144Low because the first step is to cut the grass low with your mower, then dethatch, then pick up the thatch with the lawn mower that same day so the lawn mower blades stay at the same height.
bro i did everything you said to do and i just put my seed down today.. so we will see what happens..
You're on the right path. Now all you have to do is keep the seed moist anf you should be good to go.
Thank you Tracy Morgan for this educational video 😆
I prefer Denzel 😌 🤣
come on now .. who's kiddin who ? That SUN JOE RULES !!! #1 first cut the grass short #2 run the machine North / South on the lawn #3 use the lawn mower to pick up the dead grass #4 run the machine east/west on the lawn to remove any dead grass you missed the first time . #5 mow up the dead grass again . #6 if your going to over seed - now install the scarifying blade and run the machine again #7 now mow the lawn again . #8 spread the seed #9 water it daily
U got it to a T 👌🏾. I love it
That thatch will kill the grass and create those bare spots
I bought a similar brand but found out that it had limited effectiveness in my large yard. I needed an extension cord about 175 feet and rated high. I have a 100 footer, but when I plugged in a 75 footer to the 100, it lost a lot of power. I have a 28,000 square foot lawn and my electric machine just could not handle doing such a big yard. Great on small yards but not in big yards.
Sounds like you need a professional grade dethather
@@LawnAmateur yeah, gotta get some estimates. I always bag my grass though so the yard shouldn't be too bad ... hopefully.
@bobziadie2988 or you need a generator to run a 100 ft cord out to where you thatch.
Have never owned one. Any recommendations on size?@@380stroker
