Doc treats the ugly lawn full of weeds and applies everything the lawn needs to become a healthy Bermuda lawn within a month or two. A step by step guide to applying lawn treatments to an ugly lawn for treating weeds, bugs, and feeding the lawn with fertilizer.
This is an awesome series, possibly one of the best you've done (I watch them all) because you explain so thoroughly how to fix a very bad yard. I basically did this (slight difference) to my inlaws very bad yard. I also used Q4 which did an incredible job of killing the crabgrass. I'm now in the waiting period and watching the bermuda start to spread. This is in the Huntsville, Alabama area. Keep the great videos coming!!
Hi Doc... learning so much from you. I enjoy watching and learning. I share all your tips with my husband. We just put down your PGF complete for the first time on our fescue and OMG!
Our lawn is really greening up and growing.
Gotta love it.
I would just like to take the time to thank you for giving of your time and your knowledge ! I think it's very kind of you to share your knowledge !
What's up Doc! Been following your grass tips for a few months and helped me turn a weed infested lawn into a beautiful common Bermuda lawn with alot less weeds ready to start PGF complete, Super juice and humic char.
It makes me laugh the people keeps asking you for the solutions. You keep telling them to subscribe and the answers can be gotten. Thing is they want instant answers and don’t want to work for it. Love you page man. Great information
Finally an example of what my yard looks like exactly! I got crabgrass I got clover baby I got it all but earlier this year I started treating my lawn for the first time in 12 years same lawn. The bermuda grass has spread really well over the summer now I am starting to put down fall premergent . I will know next year how to treat my bermuda perfect because I had no idea about grass weeds this year i only killed the dandelions lol!
Q4 works great! I used it on a ditch in front of my house. As Doc said, read the label because it will kill other types of desired grasses. I have St. Augustine in my front due to a large Live Oak Tree and Q4 will kill St. Augustine. When I sprayed my ditch and another area in the front, I made sure that I did a hard stop line with my sprayer so I did not kill more St. Austine than I wanted. Fast forward a few months and I do not have weeds in my ditch, and the Bermuda grass has mostly taken over.
Great info. I've been trying to straighten out a yard here in Tucker. It has been a long battle between deployments, but I think I am beginning to make headway. Thanks for all you do, your time and dedication.
Those bottles are the kind you can buy to spray for mosquitos in your yard. For those that can't find them in stock. The number on it matches what he is showing.
The best lawn channel!!! Thanks doc for sharing all this knowledge for free!!!! I'm going to help my neighbor too!!!
Thanks Doc. Can't wait to see the progress and progress!
Ok Doc, I have followed this step by step as of today (8/13/21). My bermuda sod was weed-free for the first two years after we bought our home, but the recession made me have to give it up. I hope this works!!
Great video! Any recommendations for St. Augustine grass?
I lived in Houston for 40+ years, now I live Raleigh. Very few mosquitoes, rarely see fire ants. I loathe those little ... -things-.
Thank you for a great video to help all those (OK.....me) who don't know much about lawn care, but would like to improve the health and appearance of our (OK.....my) lawns. I'm in transition zone using mix of fescue, KBG, and ryegrass. I aerated and put down seed this fall, but after seeing this video, I wish I had waited. My lawn is 80% weeds and most are the same ones shown in this video. I also have ants, but luckily not fire ants. But come next fall, I'll have your plan and recommendations to help me launch my own attack! :-) Very helpful!!
Hey Doc, thanks for all the Bermuda lawn care help. I’ve been following your guide and my lawn helped sell my house. So my new property has sand burrs and I need your advice on how to treat it. Everyone says it will take years to kill but I’m thinking Doc knows what to do and will probably knock it out in no time.
Great video! I have a few areas in my yard that have bare patches from Comcast digging in a new line about a month ago. I have runners moving in but have been reluctant to put down PE. The weeds are starting to peek through in my lawn. Can I use this method for killing the weeds without hurting my bare spot reclamation projects? Would a liquid PE be a better choice? Thanks!
With the beard, the grey hat, and the wisdom, you are definitely the Gandalf of Bermuda grass.
Thanks for the videos! I have fruit trees and would like to know if these recommended applications are safe if applied to grass under my trees. If they aren't, what would you recommend? Thanks!
Great video. Highly recommended for those that need it .I have been watching for about a year now. My lawn turned around amazingly. This video is what i did back in February and i have minimum weeds today less then half bucket 10k sqft.
Keep up the great vids.
Btw what are you using on the knee. Any info on that?
My lawn in 10 time worse I need the doc
Thanks Doc, great as usual! Can Amine 2,4-D be used and get similar results as the Q4?
Given the size of your new clients yard. Have you given any thought to using a pull behind spreader? Seen them used but haven’t found a solid review on the pros and cons. You do great work, I’m looking forward to seeing this yards transformation.
First off - Thank you for making this info available - *THANKS* a bunch.
Having said that this is super frustrating for me. It's not because my yard is just over 100k sqft. and I already know this is going to get expensive. It's not because my yard is a test area for Mother Nature and any new weed that needs to be created. It's not because I have moved into a neighborhood that, while there is no HOA, you kind of need to keep up with the Jones'.
It is none of that. What is so frustrating is that when all the money has been spent. When all the time has been taken. When you have had conversation after conversation with the neighbors on how all of "this" will not work. After all of that . . . you end up with a lawn that has Bermuda grass.
Bermuda grass, the last ditch effort for southern lawns. It's not much, but at least it's green. (I am pretty sure that is how they advertised when they first came out with this stuff)
I have had the same black African beetles now for two years. I treated them last year with the double kill and the number of visible ones dropped dramatically this year but they're still here. I'm gonna' hit em' again here in the next couple of days and add pgf complete along with the barricade. Those lil' guys are hard to get rid of.
They'll keep coming... they are migratory based on the MOTH travel.
awesome info. thank you for the website. i have not checked the site about this yet. ive been planning an all in over seed for my lawn (cool season plug aerate and over seed), is this process more to prepare for the winter? asking more for the Q4, Double Kill, and preemergent.
I went on amazon and seen those other sellers selling those spray bottles. Glad I waited. Something didn’t seem quite right.
Me watching this video with 104° temperature here in West TX we go on 90° to us thats a cold front. 🤣
Hey Doc!! In your previous video, you mentioned this house does not have irrigation, so you would wait for the rain to water everything in.
My question: How long do you wait to water if you have irrigation, after the initial 12 hours?
Thanks so much!!!
Liking the info!! Will these techniques and chems work for a nasty lawn in Michigan? Old horse pasture that I want to make look good and potentially make a green like the one I saw in your yard!!
Doc.... long time follower...how often will you water the project lawn.... I’m currently revitalizing my lawn. Currently under water restriction in San Antonio.
Barb's lawn recovered nicely from the armadillo and grub damage 👍 ok going to continue to watch the rest of the video now 😎
Thanks for great video! I am looking for a garden tool to remove dandelions. Will you please recommend a good one? Thank you in advance!
Hey Doc! New guy here. If I’m using the Andersons hose end bottle that you recommend. Would I mix the 3oz of product per gallon and then spray the gallon through the hose end sprayer to cover 1k square feet? Or would I need to mix a stronger solution since I’m spraying through hose end sprayer? Thanks for any help!
Thanks Doc just got my PG Complete, super juice and pre/post emergent unfortunately I’m still waiting for my duo kill :(.
Hi Doc, I followed all your steps to kill the weeds 2 weeks ago and it seems to be progressing well. Is there nothing else I need to do to the lawn except for water regularly to get to the nice green lawn in a few months? Seems too good to be true. Thank you very much!
I've watched several videos on fixing an ugly lawn. I have an ugly lawn myself and I've purchased all the products you've used. My questions is should I apply everything in one day as you did in this video or should I spread pre-emergent and spray weed killer first and then wait a week or two to push lawn with Humichar and PGF complete? It is 5/13 and application day will probably be 5/16-5/18. temps will be in the 80's and no rain for a week when I apply. I know in this video it was august so I was thinking maybe that is why you did everything in one day. Would that be fine to do in mid May or should I hit weeds first and then in a week or two fertilize and water? Thanks
Hey doc i live in NW georgia and i have had an infestation of cudweed, chickweed, rabit tobacco, henbit, clover, spurge, poa annua, and crabgrass. I bought the 50 lb barriacade dg for roughly 12000 sq ft. Do you recommend i also use dimension or some other pre emergent in tandem?
Great Vid as always. Stop dragging your feet and get going❤❤❤❤
Question: March 1st...Charlotte, NC...getting ready to kill off all weeds using your advice. Bought the Anderson's sparky nozzles...and preemergent and other items...looking at wild Violet...nutsedge...clover..crabgrass...should I scalp to 1 inch before applying these chemicals or should I apply then cut and bag the clippings after 2 or 3 weeks..not sure
Doc, awesome channel with lots of great information. Could recommend a preemergent and post emergent for zoysia grass. Thanks
Surfactant dosage is based on total gallons sprayed. How do you account for this when adding it to the hose end sprayer? I cant figure out how much to add to the "mother mixture" so that there is enough surfactant applied after it has been diluted through the hose end sprayer?
Can’t wait to see the results
isn't it to soon to be putting out pre-emerg?
Thats what i thought also. It says early spring and fall. Hmmm. I have been waiting for cooler temps myself
Doc, I live in Northern Illinois, we purchased this home about 6 years ago. The previous owner didn’t take care of them property very, we hanged been doing a lot of landscaping the last 3 years.
My problem is the lawn is the front lawn, I think originally think Kentucky Blue grass sod was installed? I think that one of the previous
owners over seeded with fescue seed and the mixture of K blue and fescue looks terrible. Is there any way to get rid of the fescue short removing the existing lawn and laying new sod?
Just got my bottle of Q4 in today.......MAN! That stuff smells like it could clear a Forrest!! I haven’t even opened it yet!
This guy really knows what he's doing!
I live north of Galveston Texas. We have 2 acres of St. Augustine with a lot of weeds crabgrass, clover, buttercups, and many more. Can your instructions from Bermuda grass be the same for St Augustine?
Hey Doc. How's How's it going. How do I get rid of green slime in my grass. It came out of nowhere. I haven't seen a video on it yet 😕.
True. Nw Florida and the humidity is insane here. I have been using a solution 2tbs baking soda 1gl water. It sometimes works. I have placed over the solution white sand. That seems to work well. Along with raking it out.
Hi Doc I live Austin, Texas. Quick question. Can I use the Anderson fertilizer 10 10 10 and the 16 4 8 at the same application. Home built and bermuda sod layed 2 years ago. Thank you. Both of these items same time.
What do you recommend for a lawn that is 60% bermuda and 40 st aug? I scalped in the spring and continued cutting short trying to promote the bermuda and somehow the st aug came back. I am debating on scalping in the spring and doing a heavy coat of glyphosate on the st aug portion. Should I seed the st aug area after scalping?
When I click on “visit The Anderson’s Store”. It takes me to The Anderson’s Store page which has the 2-pack of spray bottles listed there for $47.99
Covered in the video... that's not andersons selling them when it says "available from these sellers"
Curious, I have a well on the property. Is this something I should be concerned with in these products getting down into the water supply eventually? Just wandering. Thanks.
OK Doc, the new lawn gets installed on Monday. Going to put down my humichar Sunday but what else would you recommend?
John Margiotti... Doc, I got this one... read Docs Bermuda Lawn Guide. Go to his web page and you can download it for free. It’s filled with Docs wealth of knowledge!
I would put down humichar and spray with SJ if you have it. Install the lawn. Follow watering schedule firmly. once rooting starts put light coat of pgf and that's it.
@@HowTowithDoc I've got my SJ doc! Bought all the stuff months ago anticipating when I could finally use it! Thanks a million for the advice.
@@QuickTrainer Thx QT! I do have the guide I just didn't think it had anything in there for installing a whole new lawn. I should have known that Doc would cover all the bases.
What if moust of my lown has Bufalo grass? What can I do DOC?
Hey Doc, I see you are using a different backpack sprayer than the one you recommended last year, how does this one compare to that one?
I seeded my yard about 4-5 months ago in the notes you say don't put any pre or post emergent for the first year...does this mean the first growing season? For example: could I put down the Q4 Post emergent in the fall after the Bermuda goes dormant to get rid of the existing weeds and then apply the pre emergent in the spring or do I need to wait a full calendar year?
I really would like to see you leave it alone until it goes dormant. Then treat away.
Awesome, thanks for the advice.
Can I follow this same plan / use same products on Emerald Zoysia or St. Augustine lawn?
Covered in the link.
would this method be ok for cool season grasses?
I'm going to do this. I have a dog. How long after I apply everything should I keep him off the yard due to chemicals?
Doc, if you didn't need the spikes, would you have chosen the same aerator? Pros/Cons compared to others?
I have late crabgrass and nutsedge popping up in my bermuda close to Augusta, GA. Will preemergent work for me to recover my lawn?
fellow Augusta
Thanks as always Doc!!
Thank you for the great videos. I've been fighting a loosing battle in my yard. You've given me some hope, I'm going to try your strategy this next spring. The one question I have is where did you get the push button spray bottle adapter? I haven't seen it on your website and haven't found it on Amazon. Keep up the amazing videos.
Will the pre-emergent slow the spread of the bermuda (runners and rooting stolens) into the bare patches after the weeds are gone?
Where did you get the hose end connection you attached the bottle to?
I live in NJ, Ocean County, close to the beach. We don’t have fire ants but we have big and small ants. I am now happy I only have a one acre property . So I don’t have much front and back yard. But I’m ok with that. I don’t have a big house either. 3 bedroom and 2 bathroom house. The bigger the house the more to clean so I’m happy with my small house and small property . I still want a nice looking yard. Btw my sister lives in Georgia. She lives in Hoschton. It’s a beautiful area. She has red fire ants too. Soo do u recommend I use the same Bermuda grass seeds here in NJ too?
Man I wish this was all possible in Canada, we are completely screwed in terms or product up here
Hey Doc what kind of weed killer?? 🤣🤣🤣. In the link BELOW!!!! DUDE.
What's Up Doc!
Hey Doc. Can you address what to do about mushrooms in lawn?
Our entire subdivision has this problem as well. A video or mention about mushrooms would be clutch.
Is it ok to cut grass before applying all the product?

So my hubby and I put a small circle of Bermuda down under a tree and obviously it didnt grow because of the shade. The rest of the yard... who knows what type of grass. Where should i start in getting lawn grassy? Thanks.
Hey Doc ... do you have a quick release on your hose that hooks up to your spray bottle? Can you share the link if you do. Thanks
Will this same process work for St. Augustine? If not, what will?
Will this method work with st Augustine?
Can’t find your detailed description or any links below, only comments. What am I doing wrong?
Great information, what kind of spreader and fertilizer do you use? 😆lol just kidding I know, I know, it's in the link below.
I've found it much easier (and cheaper) to just leave the "solution" in the tea jug and refill the spray bottle after each 1000 sq ft vs buying and filling 5+ spray bottles. =)
This is awesome. Is there any hope for a lawn in Iowa? How to do it?
Hey Doc, I've got bald areas on my GA lawn. Will using pre-emergent hinder the planting of runners on those bare areas? Thanks!
ettenraka try fungicide. I had bald spots and runners started as soon as I sprayed it
There is nothing boring about this. I love do it yourself. I will tackle this myself so I don’t want to be a dumbass and not be prepared and educated .
Doc, you said you put the fertilizer down when there was dew on the ground. Isn't that dangerous for the grass? I thought it could burn the grass when it's wet. Usually people say to put the fertilizer down when the grass is dry and then water it in.
Hey Doc which PGS complete did you use 16-0-8 or 16-4-8?
Always 16-4-8 this area is low on PHOS
We just bought a home back in October and our whole yard is full of weeds. I read that on new Sid leave it alone, but is there anything we can do to it?
I need to do this in Nashville. I'm new to the south. I missed anything saying when to do this. Is now too late (09/08)? When is the correct month to do this?
I tried to order the PGF Fertilizer through amazon and it said that it would not ship to California. I'm not sure why, but do you have another suggestion as to what I can use instead? Thank you so much for your videos!
Do you have any suggestions for killing monkey grass? My backyard is covered in it.
I don’t think I’ve seen you make a video on this...but could you recommend a solution to my problem. I keep having patches of centipede grass pop up in my lawn. What would be the best way to eradicate? My neighbors yard is centipede so I’m assuming this is where it’s coming from.
What weed killer can be applied to St Augustine grass in Texas?
Does this work for other types of grass? How do you tell what kind of grass you have? I live in idaho.
At the ordering site, the labels on the double kill package didn't have enough resolution to be able to read them. We have a lot of cats, cats that enjoy lounging on the lawn. Is this product harmful to cats, dogs, or other pets that might come into contact with it?
Doc, I think I may have messed up. I dethatched my yard and I think I tore up all my bermuda babies... very sparse. Think it will come back this summer?
Yes, we never dethatch Bermuda. It should be fine. Feed and water and relax. You can't kill Bermuda just make it ugly for a while.
@@HowTowithDoc Thanks, Doc... my yard was bad compacted and full of weeds last year so i aerated and planted Rye this winter to work on the soil.. thatch was 1/2". I'm see tiny bits of bermuda here and there but its looking pretty bad.. kills me after having a beautiful lawn all winter Haha
Hello Doc, I would like to do the treatment on my lawn but
how to know if my lawn is not centipede.
or even better how to know if I can do it on my lawn Thanks
Are you going to reseed in 4 to 6 weeks
As usual a very informative video. Thanks Doc. My lawn and soil have greatly improved. It’s not your fault but I just wish I didn’t have to see Stacy Abrams begging for $ at the beginning of every video.
Hey Doc does that kill nut sedge
What kind grass recommended for Kingston new york 12401
Doc would die if he seen my “lawn”…..
any one know what the repercussions are of using the 30:1 sprayer? They have the 20:1 in stock but the companies are selling them for 60 bucks a pair.
