Hello Doc, I just watched your Levelling video of your website, it is very well done and it will teach the least experienced person how to do it right. I don’t think ANYONE has done it that well. Thank You for putting it that well.
I recently took on the task of trying to bring a severely neglected lawn to life. My dad passed a few years back and I have moved into his old home down in South Carolina. Myself I just have never really taken the time to work on any lawn. The front lawn has huge oak trees scattered around so tons of shade. I cut down a big magnolia in the side lawn and that left me with a huge muddy mess. I just mainly have mud, moss, and weeds with a touch of grass. I bought a bunch of seeds (tall fescue) and spread them where the magnolia was as a little test. Well then I stumbled across one of your videos and a hour or so later and alot of videos I realized I went about it all wrong 😂 I raced to Lowe's in a panic and grabbed a bag of starter fertilizer and 2 weeks later I have this side lawn that is AMAZING! I have caught the bug BIG TIME! I seeded a fertilized the entire front lawn and it looks good on the drive buy. Its super dark green now. The fertilizer i bought had extra iron and really helped alot. I have been using manual sprinklers and hand watering. Believe it or not that was the most overwhelming thing to me. Water 😂. I have a TON of white clover and want to get rid of it and the other weeds. I am going to order a pull behind areator and a manual for tight spots like you showed in your video. I just believe it may be to late for that?Or can I just go ahead instead of waiting for fall to aerate, top dress, and overseed? This is probably the longest "comment" in TH-cam history 😂 Sorry about that but im just overly excited and have no friends that care about grass. Thanks for all the videos. I'll be watching.
We've been in drought for two years, with spring/summer temps well over 100f. I think it's rained 6 times in two years. Also on full water restrictions. Not allowed to water lawns. Everything is dead dead dead. Fingers crossed the drought should break middle of 2020. Im here to learn as much as I can so I can get my grass back up and running as soon the rains arrive!!
Man! we need some rain. I'm getting worn out moving my hose end rain bird impact sprinkler. but everything is still alive and like you my lawn is one of the greenest in the neighborhood. (30% weeds)
Thanks, Doc! I really need the tips on watering, esp. since the Tru-green sales guy came up to me yesterday while canvassing for customers and asked me what I was doing to get my lawn so green and weed free!🤔😂🤣
I might be missing something. You do the drench water once a week, and then one or two days after you do a healing water for six minutes per station at 0500 and 1600. How many times a week do you do that?
I have a Texas lawn, trying to “Docize” it. Thanks for this video! Btw you should check out a Rachio controller for your sprinkler system. It’s amazing! I just picked one up and it has wind skip, freeze skip, and it lets the water soak into your lawn! Keep it up Doc!
I ordered super juice and it should come soon. I cut my lawn shortest I can with lawnmower for 3 times no and have a lot of brown spots like it is dying from heat. I will fallow your watering program now. Right now, I run each station 40 minutes twice a week
I wish we had drought conditions. Installed an irrigation system & haven't been able to use it yet because it's been raining every other day for months. So much rain that it's keeping me from throwing down all the PGF & Superjuice that I bought. We've been having near record flooding here around St. Louis and we're waiting for it to end. If it ever does, then this will be good to know.
I suspect those neighbors all have day jobs and not the time to micromanage their lawns. Good info for the many, many folks that don’t have the time, but still would be happy with a green lawn would make a very useful video.
so you drench in the AM and late at night like golf course? or just morning all at once? and you heal every day after the 2 day cooldown from drench? so M drench, T W off, TH FR SA SU heal? thanks
Doc, get you a soaker hose for the dry spots you have.. just curl it over your bad areas and walk away. . They are like $14 for a 50 ft . Some of the other postives are it conserves water and it does a more deeper watering. I'll set mine for 45 mins to an hour.. I plan on getting another 50 ft so I can cover more area. I have a big lawn like you do
Great Video Doc. According to your video you can water your lawn in the evening. I thought if you watered your lawn in the evening that your lawn would be prone to disease. I’ve always water my lawn in the morning not evenings.
Hey doc love your videos I have 7 zones and I water 20 minutes each zone mon wed and friday. I live in El Paso Tx where it’s been 95+ every day. Should I drench on mon spot water everyday and do healing wed and Friday. I sprayed fungicide on my lawn because it was turning yellow in some spots is that due to over watering or disease?
It's been awfully hot for Bermuda Grass this week in Georgia. It's just coming out of hybernation and to deal with 95 degree HEAT. It's like waking up from sleep and there's a fire in your house! I'm doing my best to protecting my yard from disaster!
You would freak if you saw how they water lawns here in Phoenix. If you drive around the older neighborhoods near the Canals you'll notice all the lawns have these raised mounds around them. That is to hold in the water when they flood irrigate. Those are the only areas around with decent lawns and landscaping.
hey doc. would it be helpful to add super juice to my new lawn? planted almost 2 months ago and just did my first cut. lawn is looking good but grass needs to start growing out and not up.
So I use a sprinkler and move it around to water my grass. I only worry about the front yard right now. That area is only about 1500 square feet. Should I be watering it everyday?
U need to incorporate Yucca...with ur feeding program...also when ur using city water..which has cholrine....ur destorying everything that u built......a few products i use is fish emolusion..milorgante...and unsulfur mollasses...and my micro nutrients........never had disease issues.....and i have the best lawn on the whole street....love ur vids....very educational.....
I haven't been able to apply my super juice. Those multipurpose spray bottles have been unavailable for months. Any suggestion on a diff kind/type/set?
What about those of us in Oklahoma who have received 20” of rain this month? Is it a waste of time to add fertilizer or lawn food with the ground so saturated?
Doc, if I put down milogranite 2-3 weeks ago would it be okay to put down a weed killer? The weed killer is one that connects to the water hose and sprayed in. Let me know PLEASE!! Also, after doing so, how long should I wait to put some down Chelated Iron in the liquid form?
Not asking Doc in specific but anyone who wants participate. How much square footage do you water and how much is your monthly water bill. I know there all all kind of things to factor in but just ball park. I always wonder what everyone is willing to spend to keep lawn looking good. I'm in west texas and water about 9k sq foot lawn. I also have a flower bed and small veggie garden. My bill averages 200 dollars in summer months. Oh and I have bermuda and a inground irrigation system.
I love when people complain about the cost of lawn care products... my water bill , during a drought, is more than the entire year's "products". Need to drill a well next year.
Hey Doc! I’m truly asking because I’ve been researching this like crazy but doesn’t the container you use to collect water make a difference of the depth of water you get? Example your Tupperware vs a tuna can. Wouldn’t the tuna can have more depth due to it being smaller? I’ve been trying to convert that inch of water into ounces. Am I on the right track with my thought or am I over complicating things?
Hey Doc hope you had a great day! Not questioning your expertise just wanted to ask a question. I was always told not to water at night because you can get fungus but here you say to water at night have I been doing it wrong all these years? Thanks for all you do have a great night. -P
How To with Doc I thought that would be the answer but wanted to check with you first! Thank you for all you do to help us love the super juice have a wonderful day.
My municipality only allows two sprinkler activations a week. I can water by a hand held hose nozzle as much as I like. Guess I’ll be spending more time in the lawn.
So what about the average homeowner who doesn’t have a sprinkler system and all day to drag a hose around. Are we just screwed. Will the lawn recover when we finally get some rain. I had the best yard in the neighborhood and now it’s toast. Really discouraged!!!
Yes it will come back eventually but in the areas where it dies off you give room for weeds to grow so watch those areas when you start to get rain. Its a hard process but if you want a beautiful lawn it takes time and a bit of money like any hobby. My St.Aug went 27 days in 90° heat with no rain or water and im watering every other day with impact sprinklers about 20 min per zone and its bounced back real nice after about 2 weeks. Also dont mow a heat stressed lawn. Let it grow long so the soil stays as moist as possible. You can also put down peet moss in super dry spots to hold water. Hope this helps.
Mines not and my water bill will prove it😁 Foxie Dog has not stepped out side longer then 5 minute's. And Doc, in Az it's been 70-80 days 50-60 at night, but now the heat is going to start
If you live on a water well like me you don't. The last thing you want to do is potentially run your well dry from watering the lawn. I reserve my water for my garden, and plants. I just can't take the chance.
The ultimate lawn compliment "is it real?" Awesome!!!
Best channel on TH-cam. You have saved my Bermuda.
I don’t care what they say about you, or your products Doc, you got the best yard on TH-cam.
Hello Doc, I just watched your Levelling video of your website, it is very well done and it will teach the least experienced person how to do it right. I don’t think ANYONE has done it that well. Thank You for putting it that well.
I live on a golf course myself here in Florida. I am so glad I found your videos.

Did a video on it... got one last month.
How To with Doc oh crap! I see it now. Thank you! Have a great day!
I live in New Mexico. The summers are brutal. So I hope I can learn from your videos.
Same drought situation hear near Houston, TX...hopefully getting rain tomorrow 🙏🏻
I'm in Austin and we've been getting a lot of rain this year. 9"+ in April and pretty regular showers through May.
Thanks for sharing and taking the time to make us “smarter” :)
I ordered super juice and it should come soon. I cut my lawn shortest I can with lawnmower for 3 times no and have a lot of brown spots like it is dying from heat. I will fallow your watering program now. Right now, I run each station 40 minutes twice a week

Another amazing video! Thank you for all you do my lawn is looking better than ever.
We finally getting some rain here in Savannah ga. But I been running my irrigation like crazy
Best lawn on TH-cam.
Great video. I live in Houston and know about 90 degrees and no rain for a week.
Damn!!!! Looks great dock. Haven't had to water even once in Utah.
I suspect those neighbors all have day jobs and not the time to micromanage their lawns. Good info for the many, many folks that don’t have the time, but still would be happy with a green lawn would make a very useful video.
In the Texas panhandle drought last for a few months. And summer time is in the 100s
so you drench in the AM and late at night like golf course? or just morning all at once? and you heal every day after the 2 day cooldown from drench? so M drench, T W off, TH FR SA SU heal? thanks
When do we meet Barb?
You’re the best Doc!... always learn a lot from your videos!👍🏼

Seriously your lawn is the best🙏🙏🙏
Loved the delivery man 😀
Good information Doc. You cover all scenario regarding lawn care. (Commonsense)
When do you water ur grass night or morning ?
Will this work for long fescue grass?
Doc. Did the Andersons stop making PGF. I can’t find it in Amazon anymore. The stuff was awesome.
Great stuff hahaha. Thanks! I can't wait for this lawn leveling video.
That's a good looking lawn!
How often do you do your healing watering? Drench is weekly, spot water daily, but guess I missed how often you do the healing watering.
8:30 he says he goes out once or twice a day in the heat to just spray and cool it down
It's been awfully hot for Bermuda Grass this week in Georgia. It's just coming out of hybernation and to deal with 95 degree HEAT. It's like waking up from sleep and there's a fire in your house! I'm doing my best to protecting my yard from disaster!

What type of spray gun is that???
hey doc. would it be helpful to add super juice to my new lawn? planted almost 2 months ago and just did my first cut. lawn is looking good but grass needs to start growing out and not up.
So I use a sprinkler and move it around to water my grass. I only worry about the front yard right now. That area is only about 1500 square feet. Should I be watering it everyday?
Hey doc. I know you know everything about Bermuda so I gotta ask one question: how do I get rid of or slow it down in my TTTF lawn. Love your videos.
I believe a product called tenacity will take care or your Bermuda invasion.
U need to incorporate Yucca...with ur feeding program...also when ur using city water..which has cholrine....ur destorying everything that u built......a few products i use is fish emolusion..milorgante...and unsulfur mollasses...and my micro nutrients........never had disease issues.....and i have the best lawn on the whole street....love ur vids....very educational.....
Amazing lawn. Flabbergasted
Damn i wish i had a hose gun like yours at work, id be flying through my routes.
Hilarious that your lawn is crapping on every one else's lawn! LOL awesome man!
What about dealing with odd, even water days?
I haven't been able to apply my super juice. Those multipurpose spray bottles have been unavailable for months. Any suggestion on a diff kind/type/set?

Amazing yard
What about those of us in Oklahoma who have received 20” of rain this month? Is it a waste of time to add fertilizer or lawn food with the ground so saturated?
Doc, if I put down milogranite 2-3 weeks ago would it be okay to put down a weed killer? The weed killer is one that connects to the water hose and sprayed in. Let me know PLEASE!!
Also, after doing so, how long should I wait to put some down Chelated Iron in the liquid form?
You won't need any extra iron. And you can treat for weeds anytime, just be careful with the heat conditions.
Do you use the Rachio? Can you post your watering schedule?
Did a video already. Don't use the schedule per say.
I need to get my new lawn under control, I'm gunna browse the site, already got my super juice on Amazon, only 4 left on stock!
Not asking Doc in specific but anyone who wants participate. How much square footage do you water and how much is your monthly water bill. I know there all all kind of things to factor in but just ball park. I always wonder what everyone is willing to spend to keep lawn looking good. I'm in west texas and water about 9k sq foot lawn.

Curious with as much watering as you do, what your water bill is each month. Thanks
I love when people complain about the cost of lawn care products... my water bill , during a drought, is more than the entire year's "products". Need to drill a well next year.
Lol That’s what I figured. Thx for the reply. Keep up the awesome videos!
What did he deliver?
Hey Doc! I’m truly asking because I’ve been researching this like crazy but doesn’t the container you use to collect water make a difference of the depth of water you get? Example your Tupperware vs a tuna can. Wouldn’t the tuna can have more depth due to it being smaller?
I’ve been trying to convert that inch of water into ounces. Am I on the right track with my thought or am I over complicating things?
Tuna can works well, I use 8 cat food cans. The important thing is the container has a flat bottom and straight sides (No angle).
Hey Doc hope you had a great day! Not questioning your expertise just wanted to ask a question. I was always told not to water at night because you can get fungus but here you say to water at night have I been doing it wrong all these years? Thanks for all you do have a great night. -P
Yes, it can. However it's pretty cheap to throw down some preventative fungicide. Just did that.
How To with Doc I thought that would be the answer but wanted to check with you first! Thank you for all you do to help us love the super juice have a wonderful day.
how is it +90° where you at and its 80 in Texas..im not complaining one bit
We hit 98 degrees in central Alabama already, the “real feel” was 112. That was last week. Gonna be a hot summer.
Drought.........what is that! I would love to dry out a little bit here in Wisconsin
How are you seeming a real time aireal view?
Come on now, you cant be for real. He is using a drone dude.
Thanks! Mine needs a drench!
My municipality only allows two sprinkler activations a week. I can water by a hand held hose nozzle as much as I like. Guess I’ll be spending more time in the lawn.
And the cost of city water for 1" per week = ??? A small fortune. At least here in E TN.
I have fescue ...northern zone...would super juicy e help my yard
I used old tuna or cat food tins to measure my sprinkler output.
You must have a huge water bill.
So 1-2 days after the drench you start the healing watering twice a day , is that every day after till the next drench?
Hmmmm, what does your water bill look like?
Water ban in my county in Tennessee.. until June 11
Doc, what is up?
First, and I could use a well in Charleston now as well. My water bill is going to be stupid.
Hi
So what about the average homeowner who doesn’t have a sprinkler system and all day to drag a hose around. Are we just screwed. Will the lawn recover when we finally get some rain. I had the best yard in the neighborhood and now it’s toast. Really discouraged!!!
Yes, both Barb's and WW lawns are burned out. Very sad.
Yes it will come back eventually but in the areas where it dies off you give room for weeds to grow so watch those areas when you start to get rain. Its a hard process but if you want a beautiful lawn it takes time and a bit of money like any hobby. My St.Aug went 27 days in 90° heat with no rain or water and im watering every other day with impact sprinklers about 20 min per zone and its bounced back real nice after about 2 weeks.

Foxie Dog has not stepped out side longer then 5 minute's. And Doc, in Az it's been 70-80 days 50-60 at night, but now the heat is going to start
Get in that pool brother!
Here comes 102 next week in Georgia
I’ve always been told that short watering encourages short roots that are even more susceptible to drought and heat stress...
Established Bermuda lawns can have roots that are 2-6 feet deep. No need to worry.
How To with Doc Thanks!
👍
I’m afraid to get my water bill
Doc going have people's water and sewage bills through the roof lol
Everyone, do your math and you won’t get a high water bill.
🤙🏽
If you live on a water well like me you don't. The last thing you want to do is potentially run your well dry from watering the lawn. I reserve my water for my garden, and plants. I just can't take the chance.
Most wells go straight into an aquifer it would take you and 10,000 people watering every day all day long a lifetime to run it dry.
Should we call it Soak, Syringing & Spot 🤷♂️
Cool story but how is this watering schedule practical? I mean how expensive is the water bill?! smh
Let it die... no biggie.
How To with Doc I cant do that but I also can’t water like this. I don’t even know how I would setup the sprinkler unit to all that 🤷🏽♂️
I’m glad my wife doesn’t see this lawn😂🤣💩😂🤣
like 667 couldnt just leave it.
It’s CG or Green Screen it cant be real lol I know it’s real.
:)
1st
