Doc shares some tricks and tips for fall lawn pre emergents and applications. It is critical to understand your lawn and soil conditions before applying your fall preemergent. Doc discusses how soil saturation impacts these applications and the best time to apply.
I clicked on this out of curiosity, and the care I have for my lawn is "damn, time to cut the grass again" 😂 good for you guys though, that lawn looks amazing!
The yard guy has great taste in rotary mowers ! Good info thanks ..
Doc. Tells about the Shed (you promised you would). How much, how big, total cost, installation, .....
Just ordered me some green shocker and dirt booster. Thanks for the heads up Doc.
Don't worry I bought 1 bag of Greenshocker and I love it. You would think that 3-5 days is a lie and it isn't. I really works very fast. I just bought 4 bags today for my soccer field that I'm going to build in my backyard can't wait. It is a little expensive but it is very high quality and it works amazing.
Nice we'll have a place for you to send pics and comments soon.
What a beautiful lawn!
Doc thank you so much for the grass tips, my neighbor is asking if I had sod in my yard! I said nope follow the tips from Doc!
I'm here in North GA and I feel the pain. Looking outside and not being able to cut the grass for 4 days is killing me!!!!
I have been waiting on your shed content too! You’re the man doc!
Hey Doc! Thanks for the videos. Semper Fi
Doc, I thought you said in a previous video not to put down pre emergent until after the first frost?
I wish you were my neighbor.
ordered the green shocker and pre emergent from Anderson. Used your code DOC. Thank you.
Same- this morning!
I’m in South Carolina- what annual rye should i apply for our Bermuda? We have tif-tuff.
Thanks for the new sod tip because I put down my zoysia in June. Dang the green shocker is sold out again. My mom and I wanted to try it. Will be on the look out.
didn't you had the fiskars mower for situations like this?
a manual reel just to be able to use it in wet/rainy conditions
Doc-would love to see an update on the green!
What is the chances that you're putting out corn gluten meal (a known organic pre-emergent) inadvertently when you put that chicken feed out?
Thank you.
Out here in central ca, we are still hitting the highs in 90’s….however the overnight lows have dipped into the mid50-60 temps as of late…dew on the grass……but my grass is still growing great ….what would you say be the time for pre-em for us still warm western states?
Wait a bit longer. You're still active
Doc what about reseeding in the north.. reseeding in September..when do I use the preemergent?
good information, thanks Doc
Thank you for this
Doc....how long after applying Barricade pre and the Duo insecticide is it safe to let pets back on the lawn?
My lawn was seeded last spring and over seeded this spring. Would you recommend I wait till the spring to use Pre-emergent or can I do it when the soil cools off?
My bermuda lawn is getting some much topsoil and liquid aeration in a week or two. I have my preemergent application on my calendar for the last weekend of October. My question is should I apply the preemergent BEFORE the aeration and topsoil or can I do it afterwards?
Hey Doc! This is the first year I have been using your products on my Bermuda lawn in Austin, Texas and they have given me excellent results. The only weed I struggle with is nutsedge. Do you recommend Dimension to fix my nutsedge problem or should I just apply the granular pre-emergent in the late fall and again in the spring?
PEs will not really work on them. You need to kill them now while they are active and temps are cooler. Sedgehammer or image and maybe treat twice
Hi Doc! Can I scarify bermuda this time of year in North Georgia?
Send some of that rain to Oklahoma
Haha I was just going to say that!!! Doc is rolling his eyes w/ tons of rain he is getting and we are borderline drought here in Tulsa!! Costing a fortune in water bill !!
Knew to the channel and getting confused about when to apply fall pre emergent. Do you go by air temp or ground temp? Our highs are in the 80's and ground temp is 75. Thinking it's still a bit early.
It varies a bit... no weed problems... wait. Weed issues get it done when highs drop into the 70s in the FALL.
Hi,
I have a lot of weeds which I sprayed many times but not going away and it seems I have these since no pre-emergent was done past few years. If I put down pre-emergent now I will most likely have many bold spots next season. When should I seed these areas? ( assuming I am putting down pre-emergent again in March) also is it okay to do 2 to 3 applications of pre-emergenet since I have so many weeds/crab grass? ( 2 to 3 weeks apart)
I’ve Scott’s fall weed and feed and Scott’s weed and feed turf builder. I’ve about 5% weed( kinda forgot watering and the weeds blew up). I live in Rockport, Indiana and can’t put anything down(overseeded)til the end of October. What would be best?
Doc I have a terrible Moss problem and it’s not because of shade. What should I do? The Moss causes my dirt to turn black and become yucky looking. Sometimes you can peel it. I have used the aerator tool (pole). I need to find out how to send my dirt to the extension program.
My guess is it's more of an algae than moss. Have some as well. Try and let it dry out and rake it out.
Hey Doc, I am in North Alabama and my yard is mainly Bermuda sod (which is looking really good thanks to your videos, info, and product links). But I have several fairly large spots of common Bermuda as well. Any tips to get the hybrid to take over where the common Bermuda is?
Next season try some spot treatments of fucilade (spelling) it will stop it the growth. Might work.
Hi doc, my lawn is 770 sq ft i have all types of weeds crabgrass,dandelion,goosegrass i live up in Northern California we are in may now I didn't add any pre emergent what do you recommend I should do I watched your video but im just wondering what you recommend for the size of my lawn and what I should apply.
Hey doc any advice for your uk fans I’m in Scotland my garden needs some work I need to put down pre emergent for over winter then reseed and fertilise in the spring but I can’t seem to find any of the products you use on the uk version of Amazon so can you suggest anything we can use over here?
Hey Doc, I just put down PGF complete, I don’t have irrigation.. I’m in OK, was going to put down barricade too but now it isn’t going to rain till next week… I don’t want to hand water with a hose… any harm in just putting it down and letting the rain water it in? I guess some might run off but should still work right? Thanks!
Hmmm... wait until just before the rain. I really would like to see a light watering before, but should be good.
In our back yard we want to build a soccer field but it is totally flat so water piles up and it killed all the grass so we are going to dig and place drains and slope our backyard at a 1 degree. We were thinking filling it with dirt and move it up about 1 inch up then let the grass grow then once the grass grows move it another 1 inch up until we measure a 1 degree slope. Do you think we should move 1 inch up slowly or can we just go all in and throw 6 inches of dirt in the middle for our 1 degree slope? Please help
It is Bermuda sod and we were thinking just to place seeds and greenshocker
Great information Doc!
hi doc! I'm in Austin and my sod was planted for my new house in February, then we had the winter storm which damaged my lawn. I've worked with it and it's been looking alright. Will I be safe to start using pre-emergent during the winter like you said?
Yes if it's done alright all summer apply one coat in your coldest month when it's dormant. Get a soil test and that way you'll REALLY feel in control.
Fascinating observation in terms of dog pee spots. I have bermuda in the front, and a large tree kept a portion of it very weak due to shade. I trimmed the tree ALOT and now it gets good sun. Well I let my German Shepherd pee in the weak spots so she doesn't ruin the pretty bermuda. I am noticing thick, dark green patches in this weak area. Any ideas on why that is? Nitrogen in her heavy protein diet? Acidity? idk
Did a video years ago showing neighbors yard with dark green spots from pee. READ MORE www.lawnpeespot.com/
@@HowTowithDoc I'm gonna keep letting her pee in the weak areas 😂 hopefully she gets that portion of the lawn thick!!
What are your application rates? I have some liquid dimension I wanna spray in Nov., already applied granular Barricade back around Labor Day. Thanks!
Generally 1.25 oz per 1000 sq ft.
My lawn ( tif Tuf Bermuda) has been great all summer in NC (zone 8). We had a lot of rain in July. I fertilized as recommended by SuperSod the first week of August. The things really went south. My lawn developed a fungus And, since the temps were now blistering, I think I got lawn burn at the same time. My lawn is limping back after fungicide and PFG complete. I’ve never had either of these problems before. Thinking about not fertilizing when the weather is mid to high 90s. Does this make sense? Could lots of rain and fertilizer cause fungus in Bermuda?
I'm assuming it's new sod? When temps start to drop I would apply a fungicide and also get a soil test if you have not. It's mainly the conditions that cause the fungus fyi
Hey Doc,
What about Pre Emergent on Overseeded Cool Season Lawns?
I'm in ATL. and the last 4 times I cut the grass it looks partially scalped. I even raised the blade....only started this year. Never had the problem before. I was fertilized during the year and the blade was sharpened. ANy suggestions? Would love to send u a photo to see what I'm talking about.
How tall is it now?
@@HowTowithDoc I have 3 sections due to my wrap around driveway. Its varies from 2 to 2.5"
I applied prodiamine wdg and spectracide weed stop plus crabgrass preventer that you used to apply, the same day then watered in two days later…will the timing of both apps in the same day be an issue??Thanks
I did this on September 7th
Yes it could. The spec needs to in contact for a few days. Watch it and see.
I am overseeding my Bermuda with PRG in October. How long should I wait to put down pre-emergent after germination?
Most said at least 30 days. I just overseeded and waiting till around the end of next month.
Pretty sure 28 days. That's gonna be killer. Bermuda and Prg are a match like none other!
Thanks again Doc!
Hey Doc, thanks for all you do. I'm also in Austin TX and my new sod was laid in May. Is that enough of a full growing season to apply pre-emergent around Jan?
Yes, you are good.
Where is the link to the Andersons store?
Hi Doc - for your split treatment, are both applied at full rates?
In the spring yes, but in the fall I keep the Dimension pretty light.
Doc, I bought the green shocker from your website and was lucky to get it. It directed to Anderson and I commented about it on your last video and you deleted it. What's up with that? I'm a loa supporter for 5 years now. I'm not sure what to think.?
If it was an active link they get deleted automatically due to the number of porn comments. Roughly 30 a day.
Hi Doc, when is it time for fall pre-emergent usage on tall fescue in PA? Thanks
Many get away with only one treatment in the early spring since the winters are so cold.
@@HowTowithDoc thanks, I had a bad Poa outbreak this summer and have read that pre-emergent would help for next summer.
I think I killed my new Bermuda sod! I applied pre-emerge on established sod that is upslope from 20,000sf of new sod. You probably already guessed…the new sod (down 4 weeks) is dying. And I applied the pre-emerge after a good bit of rain and right before another hard rain! Unfortunately I had not viewed this video yet on rain timing!
Will the new sod recover or am I looking at starting over?
Tough call... I might just wait and see what happens in the spring. Long winter looking at it I know... but it might be worth the wait.
I did the same thing too....had new bermuda sod and applied stuff and it started to die....I just watered the heck out of it (like way more than normal) and next season it came back :) I was applying on a slope and my spreader tipped over and omg...I was out there scraping it up and watering but a circle of dead grass for rest of season. Next season it came right back up like nothing happened.
Hello Doc ! I’m putting / seeding down new tall fescue this weekend had to wait a little bit longer than I wanted and I’m in VA. When would you recommend me use any pre-emergence. I was thinking mid spring to go through at least a full grow cycle?
You're cold enough I would wait until the very early spring
@@HowTowithDoc thank you so much! Would you wait 4 weeks to spray any post emergent herbicide on the new seed? Or let it rock out until early spring also?
Hey Doc., New girl here. I live in central NC and have preexisting Bermuda grass. About 4 weeks ago I did my preemergent and PGF Balanced 10-10-10 fertilizer. I watered as recommended and then went out of town. Last week when I returned home, I see that my grass looks like a leopard with brown and green squiggly lines all over. I assume it is from the spreader. Should I just wait for the green patches to go dormant? Or have I done something wrong?

What is the best way to treat CREEPING CHARLIE
Doc. For a soccer field what height would you cut it with a reel mower? I play in a professional soccer field and it is very thin. Any suggestions? BTW I live in Dallas
Pitches are cut short for ball roll. Many stay are 1/4 inch in Europe
What annual rye should I apply? I am in SC
I have always been against overseeding with rye and this year proved my point on the fairway project. You can have so many issues.
@@HowTowithDoc thanks- guess I won’t ! Love your passion and love seeing the results! Just ordered 2 bags of greenshocker today from the link on your site. Couldn’t find it on Amazon!
I don't see any links to anything.
In the description all on one page
Hey Doc what you got for spotted spurge?
Hey Doc, new Zoysia sod planted in March this year. Would you recommend PE granular in March and Dimension in April?
Looking to understand the exact timing of the split treatment and is it done in both wake up and end of summer?
I would do a PE treatment in the late winter.
Can I still scalp here in memphis, TN? rained for almost 2 weeks on and off so it's gotten 2-3 inches tall
Hard cut will be fine but no scalping to the ground.
Why is Doc the Scotty Kilmer of lawn videos?
Doc's reminds me of Hulk Hogan.
Ref: Hogan vs The Giant, WrestleMania 3, HBO Special (3 min)
pre-emergent in January? heh, there's two feet of snow in the way in January
One demerit for the wife! 👎🏼☹️
😉
Another fabulous video Doc!
As you mention in the video about seeding and pre-emergent.
My question is due to the harsh weather this summer my lawn took a real beating. Dry conditions, weeds & crabgrass.
I just did a good power raking to my lawn and I usually re-seed in the fall and apply my pre-emergent and fertilizers starting in spring.
Should I still follow this process or what would you recommend?
Thank you sir!
If you're reseeding now then I would hold off. Wait until roots are well established.
