Yard looks great! I wouldn't bother upgrading the peat moss spreader just to use it once or so a year, but thats just me. You do what you feel is best. Id rather skip using it than upgrade if its not fast enough 😅😂
Yeah, If I’m just doing my lawn I probably wouldn’t upgrade. Come spring time I’ll be helping some friends and family with their lawns. So a larger one would come in handy.
Hello, here I am a new subscriber. I am new to this and I want to renew my lawn. I have bare areas. I would like to know if I can put seed at this time or not since winter is coming soon. I am in the Virginia area.@@locustgrovelawncare
If you’re using a dethatching machine, no more than twice a year. But if thatch builds up more often, you can use a dethatching rake. It would put a little less stress on the lawn. The one I have is the Groundskeeper II, which does a pretty good job without damaging the lawn.
@@debbiebrock2665 thank you so much for the response I do have a dethatcher with both the scarifier and the dethatcher and I was afraid of using it because I have never used it I've owned this property for 5 years and I think it's time that I start somewhere some people say don't do it in the the fall they're saying do it in Florida around the end of February but I don't really know much about it I'm still getting to know how to do things so I thought I'd go a little scarifying with a high setting it has five settings I figured I would start on the highest and go slow cuz I know it's definitely going to need it I will crawl into this one I really do appreciate you taking the time to respond thank you so much
Oh my you can't get all that dead grass out with any rake, I've dethatched lawns that looked like windows of hay ready to bale. That's why I like using reel mowers instead of rotary mowers like a Locke but you have to rake the lawn to remove sticks and stones, just about anything that would get caught in the reel. But they sure cut nice. The average homeowner doesn't need something like this it's more for estate management with a myriad of formal gardens. Believe me I know.
I ordered it directly from the company. But some local stores might have it. www.greenviewfertilizer.com/store/p/GreenView-Fairway-Formula-Turf-Type-Tall-Fescue-Sun-and-Shade-Blend__28-29346.aspx
It takes a few years but you'll see a difference the first year especially after dethatching.
Short, sweet and to the point. Thank you very much.
Wow!! Yes, that looks FANTASTIC!!😊

@@JoseGonzalez-kc8sg If you put seed down now, it wouldn’t have enough time to fully grow in with the weather changing.
What would you use for the spot treatment? How soon after seeding?
I would recommend doing spot treatments after you mowed your lawn at least twice. And what I use for that is Roundup for lawns.

@@locustgrovelawncare thank you for the link. Keep up the good work
Is it healthy to dethatch monthly or once or twice a year??
If you’re using a dethatching machine, no more than twice a year.

If the yard needs it. If you don’t bag your grass, you may need to dethatch once a month during the growing season.

That dethatcher doesn’t look like it did anything
Yeah, I had mentioned there wasn’t as much thatch in the lawn since I did do some of it by hand in the summer.
