If you see too much fertilizer piled up in one area try to remove as much you can as quickly as possible or you'll end up like this.

Perfect, I had my lawn just how I wanted it! Then I go and scorch it with fertiliser. Your video had no long, drawn-out explanation, straight clear advice. Thank you😊
@@SharronKeogh I'm glad I could help 👌🏾
I have been to several "Garden" places was never told the imprtance of using an aerator. Great explanations! I learned how to properly repair and plant the seeds. Thank You!
@@Jill-o7y no problem 👌🏾

And with this video....
You would not BELIEVE juuust how Beautiful it now is and that 'anything' had ever happened there.
Muuuch Thaanks.
🤜🏾🤛🏾
Thank you I appreciate the support 🙏🏾
I’m new to lawn care, I made a silly mistake of fertilizing without a spreader, leaving large chunks of fertilizer in places. I had a ton of burn and the grass was clearly dead.
Followed this method in every spot seeding with KBG now my lawn is slowly coming back to life.
Thank you!
Yea it happens to all of us lol I made that same mistake before. 😅 I'm glad I could help you out thank you for your support
I've just done the same lol....I feel silly, but it seems like a common mistake!
Appreciate THE BEST demo on how to fix this problem. Thank you so much.
@@yannip2083 👌🏾
Such a good and simple video, thanks a lot for doing this!
I’m done freaking out about that nasty fertilizer burn I made, and I’m getting a garden weasel and some peat moss for sure now! Thanks again man, awesome content.
No problem I'm glad I could help you out. Thank you for your support
thank you sir! i thought my lawn burn was from dog piss! lol but realized i was fertilizing late night and accidentally dropped too much on some spots! easy fix! love your videos bro thanks!
Thank you for your support I'm glad I could help
I DID THIS LAST YEAR, BUT I USED A SHOVEL TO OVER TURN THE BURNED AREAS, AND I ALSO USED YOUR METHOD. I JUST HAD TO MAKE CERTAIN I WAS ON THE RIGHT PAGE.👍👊👊👊🤓
Thanks so much. We had some really bad burn areas on our lawn, excited about your content, and we look forward to getting our lawn back
No problem 👌🏾
Great video! Thanks for showing how to repair the problem. Many videos just talk about the issue and how to correct it but don't demonstrate how to actually repair the grass problem.
No problem I'm glad I could help. Thank you for your support
Bro. I follow your advice faithfully, thanks for making it plain to understand! This was great as I got my yard on point then a few weeks later over fertilized it an burned some spots, so this was beneficial information. I'm learning and your videos have guided me along my journey. Keep it up!
No problem I'm glad I could help
I appreciate the video! 👍🏼
I “was” my yard’s worst nightmare 😅
the rookie that bought weed (and lawn 🤦🏻♀️) grass killer. AND spilled fertilizer on my grass 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️…. Yes I know poor law…. 😭
But like I said, “was” my lawn’s worst nightmare. It’s been a couple years now, and I’m learning. Now I’m happy to report, I have the greenest lawn in the neighborhood! 💪🏼 just needed to fix a couple spots I accidentally burned with the weed/grass killer a couple years ago, just didn’t know quite how to fix it😬
Thanks for the video! 👏🏼
God Bless! 🙏🏼
It happens lol I did the same thing. Its all trial and error. But I'm glad I could help.
Watching from Colorado front range; my hopper did the same exact thing; thank you for your video on the repair; God bless you and all your loved ones sir.
Thank you I appreciate your support 🙏🏾
Thank you for educating me on how to fix my burnt grass. Much appreciated.
I'm happy that I could help. Thank you for watching
I had the best lawn in my family and i messed up with fertilizer. Time to do this! Thanks for the tips
@jpsanch33 👌🏾. No problem I'm glad I could help
Excellent 💯 Not dragged out
Straight to the point. Thank you
Thank you 👌🏾
Thank you so much for this video! I had a small area on my lawn that was subject to fertilizer burn. I tried this method today thanks to your video. Can’t wait to see how it turns out!
No problem I'm glad I could help
Thanks dude !!! I am about to start on my clients yard. We burnt it 😮 so this helps me a lot !! 🎉
I torched several spots in my lawn trying to get rid of crabgrass and clover. Thanks for the repair tips. I've got a bunch of work to do.
No problem 👌🏾
Great video. I just had new sod installed and using a Scott's spreader with a non-Scott's fertilizer lead to laying down way too much fertilizer and now have fertilizer burn. Am going to see if the grass can recover on it's own...if not, going to follow your instructions. Thanks for keeping the video content concise.
@AKispert1965 no problem I'm glad I could help
Thanks for making it simple! I have just been watering hoping the grass would come back and seeing no results. Now I have a plan.
Thank you for your support I'm glad I could help
Ah man literally scorched my front and back lawns and attempted the recovery this past Sunday going to give it a couple of wks if no signs of recovery will do what you’ve shown here , need to get me one of those weasels though 👊
Yea the weasel is one of the best lawn tools to have in the collection
@@LawnAmateur
Didn’t know they existed until this vid, doing it with a handheld garden fork and my hands,
Thanks for the vid, instant subscribe keep up the great content 👏👏👏
Can u please give update if u fixed fertilizer burn?
I bought a garden weasel for just this purpose. Works good for patching. I do fill a roller if it is a large enough area and then top with peat moss. Thanks for the video.
No problem I'm glad I could help
Thank you for the detailed and easy to follow instructions. Going to use them to repair freeze burn spots on my lawn.
No problem I'm glad I could help
Good job…you kept it to the point. Unlike others, that by the end
of the video you still don’t what to do. And you know more about
other point of their life than you want…great job.
Lol, thank you I'm glad I could help
Great topic and video. I am restoring my lawn for my investment property and this is exactly what I need to do - thank you!
Nice video. I like how you jumped right into it. Thanks for making it.
No problem I'm glad I could help
Good video--appreciate you walking it through step by step. The only thing I would have liked to have seen was the after. Maybe do a quick little clip from a few weeks after this process. But, over all, awesome video!
What kind of grass seed did you use and also do you have a video showing an update on the grass?
I used Turf type tall fescue by Greenview
I have plenty of videos on my channel about lawn care.
Thank you
I over fertilized kentucky bluegrass about 2 weeks ago. I there are several burns, I see some parts coming back. I have watered burned spots most every day. Is now a good time to remove burn spots, lay top soil, and re-seed? I live in the northeast
@@Jill-o7y yes
Thanks man. Laid a bunch of brown patch fix with seed and fertilizer mix and torched my grass. Speed by hand. Rookie mistake. Should have used a spreader. Grabbing my seed,weasel, moss ,and soil today.
No problem I'm glad I could help
Excellent video. Just put down new lawn rolls and over fertilised them. Thought I would have to buy new ones, gonna try this method. Subscribed!
Thank you
Very nicely explained and done. Great results with this method.
Just torched sections of my lawn. So a question: if you create a new seed bed can you put the new seed bed down immediately after having applied the weed and feed? The ever helpful instructions say wait a month.
Yea you have to wait because those parts of the lawn that were burned are still considered Hot. So you have to atleast 2 or 3 weeks to see the final damage the weed and feed did.
Great stuff and good looking lawn. Way to rep 👍🏿💪🏿
I appreciate it bro ✊🏾
Thank you so much! You've been wonderful help for Me! I lost my Mother. She took care of the lawn maintenance and knew what to do. I'm here still learning at home. I don't know what I'm doing and I messed up areas of my lawn and burnt the grass. ☹️ What kind of grass seeding do you recommend??
Sorry for your loss 🙏🏾. What area you leave in?
@LawnAmateur Thank you! ❤️ I live in Suffolk County which is Long Island, New York.
@aliciajames7207 Ok, you can use Scotts commercial or contractors mix either one are good. Both have a good variety. You can get it from Walmart, Home Depot, or Lowe's. I hope this information helps
@@LawnAmateur Okay, thank you so much. You have been a big help.
Excellent informative video. Very easy to follow your instructions.
I'm glad I could help
Very nice explanation. You are like the 1st person to do this so clearly without all the goin around and all the nonsense, I understood everything, nicely done ,thank you 😁😁
Thank you I'm glad I could help
Great video, thanks! Question...did you have to wait a month or so before doing this? I think weed and Feed in the soil will kill the new seed. Thanks again 😊
No, like 7 days.
@@LawnAmateur WOW !!! Super Quick response!! Thanks so much, I am a new subscriber 😁
@@JosephIrizarry-er1uf thank you
Great video. I'm impressed that you can use scissors left-handed.
The trick is that I'm left handed 🤣🤣🤣. Thank you for your support I appreciate it
Great video. What if I have a larger area of fertilizer burn instead of scissors can I just mow the affected area of the lawn to get most of the yellow grass out?
Yes mowing is best option for larger area
@@LawnAmateur thanks
Last week I was walking across my lawn with a spray tank of roundup. For some reason wbile momentarily stopping in the middle of the lawn I squeezed the spray trigger and 4 days later my lawn had a spot exactly like yours. In my case I chose to take a 6 inch round grass plug from my lawn next to the woods, dug the yellowed and dead area out and inserted the grass plug and watered. You would never know. Instant gratification. I fixed the hole made from the removed plug at the lawns edge in the same manner as you did yours with the addition of a slight amount of starter fertilizer.. You are doing very well with your lawn. I'm sure BYD is pleased.
By the way, how is your front lawn doing?
I did the same thing a while back lol smh. That was a smart move to plug the area from the back lawn. The front lawn is doing great.
Nice video! Straight and to the point!
I accidentally burned some spots on my lawn too...thanks for the tips.
No problem thank you for watching
Thanks for the info! The fertilizer bag recommended waiting 30 days before reseeding. Can I speed that up a little if I'm doing extra watering?
You can try reseeding in about 10 days
Great video. I performed this task today. Worked very well.
Thank you I'm glad I could help
Thanks for the info. I just went out and used my Garden Weasel Rotary Cultivator to break up the soil, put down some bagged top soil, tossed some Titan RX Tall Turf fescue, weaseled, put out some peat moss, weaseled some more, tossed out some more seed, weaseled some more and gave a good drink of water. I had my yard looking great, but the wife looked out the window and said, what is that spot in the middle of the yard? So I had to take action!!!
🤣🤣 that'll do it once they point out that slight imperfection you have to go out and take action immediately because it'll continue to stand out from that point on
@@LawnAmateur no doubt. I saw it yesterday and just hoped it would go away!!! I have switched or I am going to attempt to switch to an all liquid diet for my lawn. Will see how this season goes. My first application was granular but I have to get off the mower to open the spreader and by time I get on and take off, it has dropped a pile.
I just burned my lawn like 4-5 spots but it is already Sept, I think I will do next spring lol.
I have three dogs I have a 5 gallon bucket full of seed and another 5 gallon bucket full of peat on standby at all time. Water, drop fill and water all summer long. I feel you!
I have big patches throughout my lawn , what’s the best method. I had beautiful grass, it’s ruined thanks
Are they fertilizer burn spots?
Thank you! I live in NC (getting 80 and 90F). Can I repair fertilizer burned grass now or should I wait till the Fall?
You can repair it now if it's just a spot. Just keep it moist
Great informative video. I have Kentucky Bluegrass. What is the best seed to buy for my type of grass?
Thank you. Scotts, Pennington, are the top in store brands. Then you have Expert Garden (walmart brand), Vigoro (Home Depot brand). Then you have the high end grass seed brands Jonathan Green, and Greenview thats what I use. There's plenty others also but I just named a few and it all depends on what your budget is and willing to spend. But its all about your maintenance and care for the lawn to enhance your overall appearance. I'm sorry about the long reply. I hope this helps
@@LawnAmateur thank you 😊. Should I only use Kentucky Bluegrass seeds or a mix? For instance Kentucky and Rye? If so, what should the ratio be? Sorry for all the questions
@tamarajenkins3035 the questions are ok lol. You can do a mixture they have bags already pre mixed with Kentucky bluegrass, Ryegrass and Fescue or like you said Kentucky bluegrass/ryegrass. These are some of the best grass varieties because you'll have more than one grass type in the yard and thats good when it comes to say diseases or fungus. One grass type may be stronger than the other at fighting off disease so if you did catch a disease your whole lawn wouldn't be destroyed. So having a variety mixed lawn is a major plus
Thank you so much
Could you please provide the links of the products that you used in this video? Also, Can I also repair the burn spots in my lawn?
I'm working on getting links to the products. You can use this method for burn spots also
@@LawnAmateur Thank you !
Great tips! I’ll try this out on a spot that I got heavy handed with.
Thank you
Is it necessary to put down the top soil? Can you put the seed on the bare ground then cover it with moss or straw? Thanks!
No you don't need top soil. You can just break up the current soil and throw down seed and cover it lightly with moss or straw and you'll be fine.
I was hoping for an follow up video :( I have really bad fertilizer burns. Thanks for sharing
I will do an update soon
What do you do for winter with your liquid fertilizers bring inside to basement or leave in garage or shed
I store everything in my basement during the winter
@@LawnAmateur me too bags i leave in garage in 50 gal drum last yr i didn't realize i had so much liquid going to start moving them this week except for a few I'll use yet thanx
Great video! Very detailed and thorough.
Thank you
Soooo I fertilized my entire yard front and back… whole yard burned😞🤦🏽♀️. It’s been about three weeks, it has rained pretty good here (Alabama) but still brown. HELP!!!
If the lawn is brown or has a yellowish tent and doesn't have a dry crunchy feel then It'll regrow as long as you keep watering it. If its brown, feel crunchy and dry then you'll probably have to reseed because the roots may be dead. Take a walk in the lawn and touch those spots to get a better idea.
@@LawnAmateur Will do, thanks for responding😊
What seeds did you use ?
Thanks 🙏
I used turf type tall fescue by Greenview
Can you lay down grass clippings on top instead of Petemoss?
I wouldn't do that because the grass clippings can smother out the grass seeds especially if laid too thick. Peat moss will help the grass seeds germinate by holding moisture
@@LawnAmateur thanks
Your method is so much better than mine. I opted for nuking it...not from orbit, but all up close & personal. Thanks for this. I have decided to feed my lawn steak & caviar. (It eats better than I do) . I thought I had spots in my yard that I was not watering enough. Come to find out? She just got to hot & couldn't handle the heat & kitchen! I am just gonna throw ice cubes on her till she decides to chill.
🤣🤣
Awesome information, I now see what I didn’t do that prevented success. Thanks
Thank you for watching
Good advice. I'll try it tomorrow.
👌🏾
been watching the big boys doing lawns but this is very helpful. a like from me. where you get the aerator
Thank you. I got it at Wal-Mart
Should i plant new seed without fertilizer added?
I do. I like plant my grass seed 1st and then come back 7-10 later and put fertilizer down
Did you add a slow release organic fertilizer later on?
I was using Scott's lawn food
@@LawnAmateur thank you
I enjoyed your video and subscribed. Question: I have a few bare spots in my lawn, I am in a suburb on Chicago, is it ok to use Moo Nor a composite compost with cow manure on grass or sod?
Thank you and yes that is completely fine
What type of grass is that?
Looks just like mine but don't know what seeds to get
My grass is turf type tall fescue
isn't that high nitrogen still under the soil ? Does diluting with water first help ?
Yes some times you can dilute it with water
thank you you did a good job making it easy to understand thanks again
No problem I'm glad I could help
Great info! Keep ‘em comin’.
Thank you
Good video. Did you do a follow-up?
Thank you, but no I don't have a direct follow up video on this spot but it filled in nice. I have other videos of the lawn if you want to check out
How often and for how long do you water it?
@@stereohuda twice a day for the next 2 weeks
Thank you for the information very helpful video
No problem I'm glad I could help
How soon should you see grass?? In the spring?
It depends on what grass seed was planted and the temperature. Some grass varieties take longer to germinate but you could see germination 7-10 after planting in optimal weather but it could take as long as 21 days also
@@LawnAmateurI'm in Houston and I put down Bermuda. I'm desperate my yard looks terrible. I burnt it with fertilizer. Thank you for responding.
Can you use straw instead of Peat moss?
Yes you can use straw
Great video! Thanks for doing this!
Just what I was looking for!
Glad I could help
How do I know what seed to
Get for my lawn?
It all depends on where you live. Most lawns where I live are a mixture of fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, and ryegrass.
Just what I needed!
This exact same thing happened to me ): thanks for the video!
No problem 👌🏾
Nice job. I'm curious as to why you didn't just dig out the burned area, as opposed to using scissors.
Just to cut down the tall grass to even it out. Instead of digging it out and having to replace the whole area because sometimes the burnt grass can repair itself if its not burnt too bad.
@@LawnAmateur Thanks again.
Do you water it after the pest moss?
Yes you water after peat moss
Great video! I was about to jack up my yard until I found this video.
Lol. Thanks I'm glad I could save you the trouble
I burned my lawn. How.long does it take to recover if I don't overseed those areas?
It depends on how badly burnt it is. If its not bad it can start to bounce back in about 2 weeks with proper watering
@@LawnAmateur .... That's the route I've been taking. Slow process. Thanks for the reply.

I'm glad I could help

Thank you I'm glad I could help
Great idea my Boi but I believe it’s a little to much top soil mabey 1/3 inch worth or 1/2 inch of top soil or lawn soil!!!!!
Nah it worked just fine. You want enough soil so when the grass seed germinate it can root deeper easily. Thank you for your support
I really appreciate the tutorial ✌️this will definitely help me out 👍
