Bro do you know what I can use for weed control/killer that won’t hurt pets and kids? We don’t use herbicide because we have kids and I take the weeds off by hand and my bike is killing me! Lol thanks!
Some people don't have the aptitude or time and tools for keeping up with a yard.
Bullbutter spoken here
Back in the day I used to look up bikini videos but……I’m a father now……things have changed. Glad to be here and I’m going to keep watching for helpful tips
Yea ok
One of the best decisions I made was to get rid of careless lawn man. Repeatedly told him he was cutting my fescue too low, and had a lot of bare spots. He told me grass would not grow in shaded areas. Once I raised mower to 3 inches and consistent mowing, grass filled in, and lawn looked better than ever. I wasted a ton of money paying lawn man that was stubborn and cut everyones grass same level regardless of type of grass. Some of these lawn services are just about quantity and how fast they can mow your lawn and get paid. There is no lawn care, just lawn mowing.
I refuse to pay lawn service companies a dime for these exact reasons. Carelessness is something I can’t pay someone for haha My neighbor across the street use one of these local lawn care companies and they were looking at my lawn in awe of how much better and healthier my lawn is compared to the crap job they are doing over there.
i have a cool season lawn, Kentucky blue mix just the cheap constractor sod, so does everyone else in my entire neighborhood. A question i wondered about related to this is that people in my neighborhood who have the absolute best looking greenest thickest lawns are always cut the shortest. The lawns that look patchy are ones that grow out more. Any reason why this would be?
@@Brett_NebraskaThere are quite a few factors that may be in play here. One might be irrigation. How often, what time of day, and how much do your neighbors with enviable lawns waste? What is their soil structure like compared to others? Have they added topsoil and organic compost to there lawn each Spring for many years? Do they test their soil and match their soil with the comparable organic fertilizers? Using those same tests, do they also add any micronutrients the grass needs to really thrive? Do they aerate their lawn once or twice a year? Do they utilize verticutting and power raking? Your neighbors with spectacular lawns could probably reel mow their lawns to putting green height (adjusting irrigation of course) because they schedule and do these things and more.
Yep mf don’t care … they just want your money 💰
Mexican invasion. Low prices. Quick service. Shoddy work.
Enjoying these voice over videos with your older footage. Nice touch!
Wow, I started watching you maybe four years ago and I’ve learned a lot from you. I know you have a lot of projects going on, I really see this video as you getting back to the basics. For me my lawn has never looked better and has never been healthier than it is now. I have to thank you for that but I also have a lot of people that I watch in different videos that have helped me. I really like the way you made it about the basics, I feel like as a homeowner we all have very little time to spend on the lawn but we want the most impact of our time.As I watch this video I see the things that I need to focus on which is the basic sort of a kiss approach(keep it simple s\]ped:). I get approached all the time at work because my friends and coworkers know I’m very passionate about my lawncare so they ask me what they should do. I always go back to what I’ve been shown in time is to know your lawn, keep it at the 1/3 rule, feed the lawn when it needs it but focus on the soil first. I think this video is some of your best work I really appreciate the content , I hope to see more of this. That way when someone asked me what they should do to their lawn I can just share your content.
Scott from Louisville,KY
Your comment regarding frequency is spot on. I only mow once a week but my buddy mows twice a week. We do pretty much the same maintenance but his lawn is greener and fuller than mine. I just don’t have the time.
My issue here I just bought my first home last June and this year I started taking care of it. I did ortho spray for the weeds two applications because on Wisconsin it’s been raining a ton. Last Wednesday I did my first crab grass granular by Scott’s. Hope I am doing it right :) learning a lot from your channel and hope to get my yard looking nice :)
I live in the mountains of New Mexico, and we didn't have a lawn at our prior house. We moved into a new house, had one summer, and my husband had the lawn looking great. Unfortunately, he passed away from cancer treatment complications that winter, and I had no idea what I was doing last summer with the lawn. The snow finally melted (we are at 7,500 feet) and the lawn is not looking great this spring. (Plus, we have a Weimaraner puppy who has created a bunch of burn spots in the back. And, she came back inside the house with several pieces of the irrigation system she dug out. So, I have a lot of repair work to do.) Thanks for all the info.
Following your advice since the fall my yard looks much better.

Makes it sound easy 😅😅😅
@@danvozza3799 Personally, I skip the weed control. Clover fixes nitrogen, dandelions are a calcium pump/dynamic accumulator, and both are good for bees. The HOA can pay my bills if they wanna dictate my lawn.
...But I recognize this isn't the right place for that kinda discussion, lol.
This is exactly what I'm doing. Thanks, Ryan.
Another insightful and informative piece
Keep up the great work Ryan
Watching your channel for the first time today, I am excited to get started on my lawn!
Welcome!
Thanks for always giving us a wealth of information Mr. Knorr!
Hey Ryan
I pride myself on comprehensive videos, this video. Next level 🙏😁👌
Thanks again Ryan. I did everything you said last year and my lawn looks awesome. Today, I had 3 people ask me how I have my lawn such a deep green..... I love it.. lots of work to do my resonation last year but your methods and products work great! Thanks again!
Nice work!
I never thought I would care about grass this much until I got my first home…the last owner really didn’t do anything to the yard and just used it as a area for the dogs to crap in…my husband and I would love to get the grass nice looking again.
I had nooo clue there were so many types of grass…I’m learning so much
Great summary. You’re right. It doesn’t happen overnight, but i think you can get 80% of the way there by winter and your lawn just keeps looking better along the way. Semi-instant gratification. :)
Dude I love your videos. You are chill and direct. If you had any idea what I'm facing this spring,.....lol
Ah! Grubs! I’m in the cool temperature zone and I had a spectacular lawn but right around the fall I noticed bare spots with a kind of sponge like feel, lifting up like a carpet. Yes I had grubs so now I will be treating it for it right before the hot summer season kicks off and going to try to do a little seeding before the hot summer so don’t forget to treat your lawn for ten- highly recommend it.
That RXsoil test was very impressive..quick turn around and the recommendations were perfect. Thanks again brother. 🍻
Much better than a certain Soil Savvy kit ;-)
@@BrodeyDoverosx Feel free to name it because I've never seen one this easy.
Honestly this is almost exactly what I've been doing. We've been in our house for 3 years and I've taken over from the retired guy across the street for the nicest lawn. I got a dethatcher for this year so we'll see how it turns out but I think it will do well. It hasn't been fertilized since at least the 90's where it was turned into a rental.
Great video Ryan. Very helpful. Thank you!
I'm constantly reminded of the fact that I've got a mixture of bermuda and tall fescue, and how impossible it is to get them both happy. But, with a mix of sunny and shaded areas, it's been the only way I've been able to achieve coverage in both areas.
Great tips. Lawncare is definitely a marathon
That drone shot of your property was nutty. Soo green. Great video!
One of my favorites haha
Love all of your stuff! Really looking to put it into practice this spring and transform my lawn. Question though, do you have any specific plans/products that are pet safe?
Ryan..Thanks so much for your informative video’s!
Exactly what I needed!
Awesome update! Always fun watching new fix ugly lawn vids from you! 😊🤙🏾🙏🏾
Great video Ryan. I have cool season grass here in the north and was just wondering how low should I cut my lawn in late fall before winter?
Great Video Lots of information! Thanks for making this!
Solid video. I've been subbed to this channel for a long time. Keep up the amazing work.
Bro is just showing off when he does the aerial view after the 12 minute mark. That lawn looks amazing!
12:35 Ryan's neighbors must hate him. 😂🤣😃😝
imagine being your neighbor and that peer-pressure of lawn LOL
My neighbor is the reason I’m here 😂
Would love a version of this video for us here in Canada (Ontario) that have much tighter restrictions on what we can put on our lawn.
Nice video! So informative.
Thank you so much for this video. ❤️
Great video and this is actually hysterical.
I started watching TH-cam pretty much when it first came out and back then I remember watching someone with the last name Knorr perform covers and some original songs. One of the first TH-cam channels I ever watched in the very very early days of TH-cam.
All these years later I now have my house and was looking at lawn care videos and yours came up and the name seemed familiar. And sure enough after a little digging looks like I've come full circle and on one of your channels just shy of 16 years later? Funny how that works LOL
😄
Can you do a video of how to trim grass along flower beds containing mulch that shows how to prevent grass from being thrown into the mulch?
Great video :) I live in England and I have such a terrible turf which I need to take care of. I bought American grass seeds. I hope they can deal with rain.
Why did you buy American grass seeds?
Thank you Ryan!
Awesome video. Thanks for the info. I live in newton iowa. Since you where typing in Des Moines I assume you're from that area. I have put down some scots weed and feed and have been watering it like crazy im seeing some results but the dandelions just won't go away.
Great information...thanks for this!
I also noticed you're sharpening with a grinder. Using a flapper/sandpaper wheel will give you a better edge without being really aggressive with the removal of the metal. The softer pad makes it easier to sharpen, and the blades last longer. I mow Zoysia which is very dense, so I have two sets of blades and I sharpen then at the same time, than mow the Zoysia up front with the sharp blade, then move to the back that I still need to renovate. Then I may or may not replace the blades for the next mowing. If I'm mowing at 1.5 inches, I'll swap each time. If I'm mowing at 2 inches, I may mow a 2nd time before sharpening. I was going to start a sharpening business for mainly beauty shears and I was in the process of talking to manufacturers when COVID hit and kind of ruined those plans, and I've been sharpening for 46 years now, using both grinders and flapper pads, and I really prefer the sandpaper discs. I sharpen the main side fairly close to 30 degrees, then make one gentle pass on the back to remove the burr. My goal isn't razor sharp, but I could easily cut steaks at that point. However, people think of a mower blade as a blunt tool, almost. It's sharped to a 30 degree bevel on one side, and flat on the other. Most kitchen knives are 15-17 degrees on each side (depending on blade hardness and type of steel - VG-10 is a good all around metal for kitchen blades), so although thinner, it's about the same bevel angle as a mower blade, just with less beefy blade backing it up. As often as I change blades, I use one of those one size fits all sockets that have the push pins in the middle. It cannot stand up to the torque required to break the bolt free...I broke my first one trying, but once you break the bold loose, that in a battery powered drill make it really quick to remove the bolts and replace them after. What works well for one may not work well for another, so try it and see how it goes. Now if I could just get my wife to stop cutting meat using my very fine edged Sashimi knife while on a plate instead of a cutting board...(sigh). I'm constantly sharpening that blade. As far as soil temps, I aim for 45-50 degrees. I'd rather be early and safe than have some silly issue and end up applying too late. The microbes are so dormant at those temperatures that it really doesn't negatively impact the pre-emergent duration, especially with prodiamine sitting so high in the soil. That Spectracide is great for newbies, but Q4 is a more cost effective version of the same herbicide mix. Speedzone is better overall in my opinion for general wide coverage. You could have expanded on the Crabgrass control. Crabgrass dies off at the first hard frost, so it's not worth spending the money late in the season to kill crabgrass. Just do a good pre-emergent plant and get ahead of it for next year.
I a new home owner this my first time dealing with lawn and grass but I star learning little by little but isn't a easy task to complete 🥵
Great video and happy to say I’m doing many of these things here in upstate NY. Question: any recommendations on an iron product for late spring and summer months?
Great channel buddy. I’m catching up on episodes.
Back lawn is getting a full redo, due to new retainer walls. Hydro seed next week and prayers
Man my dandelions are some hardy pigs last year I fully killed my back yard and seeded most of it has cam back from a crazy winter hear in eastern Washington state but all of my dandelions came back I am at a lose but good insight in this video
Those overhead shots! Your neighbors must love you LOL
American here, square drive is a God send. Torx is great for T25 and larger. Under that it’s very unstable and hate it.
Can the full lawn weed control start in the fall if you missed spring? In the north zone.
Well produced video!
Just getting into this nice lawn hobby. I live in central Indiana. What do y'all recommend for weed control? I have an acre and a half of completely untouched grass.
Ryan I love your videos and try to watch any when you release them. I did have one question on some pesky weeds we have in our yard. Previous home owner never cut the grass and now we have thistle weeds everywhere. What is the best way to treat these and when is the best time to apply the treatment. Thanks again!

Hello Ryan, I live in Jersey and will be doing it step by step as you laid out My question is,, are all the products you suggested pet friendly? We just got a new pup and I'm unsure what to put down since she likes to eat grass. Thanks bud
How does the plan change if you are starting in the fall and not the spring?
Great info Ryan!
Me and my gf just got a house and don’t have our own mower yet it’s crazy how expensive even just push mowers are I wish I could mow it like I want to make our little property look nice
Ryan, what are the best types of grass for reel mowing in the PNW region?
Hey Ryan, great video! Hey, have you made any videos on when and why to thatch rake?
What is the difference between thatch raking and power raking?
Thanks!
Your time lol
Great info !
These are the videos I like
Great vid! Can I start in the fall, as opposed to the spring, for these procedures? I live in ny state and have heavily weeded grass. Would I apply a weed killer first, wait, then start fertilizing/over seeding -all in the fall?? Thx🌾
Excellent summary! I have been following your free lawn guide. How would you incorporate the EquilizORR products for spoon feeding into this regimen? Is that covered in the pay version? Keep up the great work!
You can use that in place of any of the other liquid fertilizer apps. It's really been working well in a spoon feeding program.
@RyanKnorrLawnCare What's a good product for clover and dandelions. Thanks! Love the channel!
Hi Ryan! I very much appreciate your channel and am eager to watch all of your videos! I do have a question--do you have any advice or a video addressing how to care for Xenon Zoysia? Our grass in the South came out of dormancy about a month and a half ago and we already have brown areas, since it's been an unusually hot spring. Is it true that watering while the sun is out acts as a magnifying glass and burns the blades? Thank you for any help!! Signed, wife caretaker
Hey Ryan, love your channel and love your content. I'm in East Tennessee near Knoxville... lots of clay. Long story short, my wife and I built a house last year and I specifically told my builder I wanted tall fescue because it does very well in my area. Well, they essentially scattered what they called "contractors blend" and very poorly at that. They did zero soil ammendments and 100% didn't aerate the lawn. So now I have this God awful mix of grasses and weeds and huge barren spots that are horrid. I absolutely hate my lawn... should I go rent a skid steer with a Harley rake and absolutely annihilate my yard and start from scratch or are there more cost effective measures you'd recommend? I'd love to send you pictures of what I'm dealing with to get your expert advice.
Transition zone truth - Yes, you can grow either cool season or warm season turfs, which is great. But on the flip side, neither will thrive as well as they would so you have that struggle as well. I'm just north of Richmond, VA and my first hard frost is about the 3rd week of October, and the green fades to tan around the end of November. Come March, if I've mowed down to 1" anyway, the lawn is greening up by the middle of March. I like Zoysia because where cool season grasses are struggling in the middle of the summer heat, my Zoysia is thriving well. Most people entertain outdoors in the summer, so that's when warm season turfs grow best, so that's part of the reason I chose Zoysia, while my neighbors are entertaining people in a mix of dormant and stressed cool season lawns, even the well kept and striped fescue lawns.
Nice video man.. by any chance have you done a video about taking care of a lawn with dogs? Urine is killing me
Hi. I live in Dallas, Texas and my parent's lawn hasn't had real grass for the past 20 yrs now. Their lawn has been covered with various 8 different types of weeds covering their entire lawn. Their sprinkler system pipes are broken too, so I tried to irrigate it with a 360° hose spray irrigation every night. My mom wants thick grass, on her lawn (I don't know what is the name of the thick grass that can tolerate drought soil lawn) so I'm trying to help them renovate their ugly lawn to look like a healthy beautiful lawn in the neighborhood in this 105°F, humidity of 80% 🥵 weather. All my neighbors have a beautiful lawn. My parent's lawns have been ugly for the past 30 yrs. 🥶😱😳🥺😰😭 I care for my dad that suffers from Alzheimer's and cancer. My dad used to do all the lawn work and outdoor handyman housework. Now I'm doing his work, but trying to learn some basics on TH-cam of how to care for my parent's lawn in the right way in the early morning. 🤭
I can't afford all the lawn care machines shown in your videos. What are the best budget machines or tools you could recommend to remove bad weed grass, before putting/laying fertilizers in?!
Just started watching your videos love them lots of great information. I live In north east pa and just bought a new house i would like to know if it is a good time to put down a weed killer mower should i wait till spring my grass is full of weeds and we just came off a few weeks of 85 to 95 degrees little rain i bought some trimec with crabgrass control to put down what's your thoughts on this?
In my state it is illegal to put down fertilizer with Phosphorus unless you have a recent (within the last three years)soil test that shows that you have a P deficiency
I did a weed and feed fertilizer and I was thinking about hitting the lawn with a fine coat of 10-20-20 to get the grass spreading. I live just outside of Allentown PA. How long should I wait to do that?
Looking for some good post emergent options. I live in the Philadelphia Pennsylvania area.
Any specific advice for those with wells and septic systems?
I have that same lamp!
Great video. Does anyone know if toads hurt new grass seed growth. I know they burrow into the lawn but does that hurt root growth for my new seed if they are constantly burrowing into the lawn??
I wish we had pre-emergents in Canada!
I have a tall fescue and kbb blend lawn in california and I’m having quite a bit of problems with fox tails in my lawn…any suggestions on what to use to get rid of them?
Hi Ryan! Great video! I’m just starting fertilization and weed control as a business this year in MN. I waited till soil temps were above 50 consistently and laid down granule fertilizer with pre and post emergent. One lawn has tons of dandelion in a couple spots/ others have yellowing weeds ie charlie, clover and dandelion but the grass doesn’t look great. I’m headed to spray herbicide Monday. I’m just so nervous to kill the entire lawn 😖 I feel a bit better after watching ur vid. I have pics if you would like to give me your opinion. I would be grateful!
Sounds like to me you should not open a business you have absolutely no knowledge about ur going to TH-cam for ur business questions 😂
In any business you're going to have questions to learn more about something. Unsuccessful people are too arrogant to admit they don't know something in order to improve. TH-cam has proven to be a great resource for exactly that, answering questions, for millions of people and billions of answers. Don't be a tool :)
Curious on the answer to Jen's question.
Jen, I know this is a year behind, but it sounds like a pH test for both lawns may be in order. It could be a pH imbalance isn't allowing for adequate absorption of the fertilizer, etc. Curious if you have had better results in the one year since your original post.
Does this process apply for a renovation starting in Fall? Or do I have to wait till spring comes around to take these recommendation?
TTTF in transition zone! Who is with me?
Bring on the brown patch
@@johnbaumann2126 please no, don't bring it
Great info, grabbed some great tips on your video, for my front lawn.. I moved ending summer of last year. My backyard I has tons of different weeds. But my major problem is Purple dead nettle that is taking over my lawn. Large section in different areas of my lawn. Many say it is edible or medicinal benefits.. For me is depressing to see my lawn like that, It is taking over my lawn. Please help I don't know how to get rid of it.... :( crying for help
Any suggestions to tackle Thistles? Will a generic weed killer spray work on them?
Part of it, I live in Poland and I have a lawn of about 800m² + a house. In the season, when I water my lawn well and nourish it, I have to mow it twice a week. It's not the best quality (turf, pitch) but it's ok for me. I'm thinking about a robotic mower - what's your opinion about it (I currently have an OleoMac 53 mower)?
I fixed my ugly lawn this year with a baseball batting cage, and a lot of baseball hitting nets for my son.
Ugly lawn is now a thing of the past!
Thankyou sir
I have a few spots of grass that are not my regular grass. Is there any quick way to fix that without killing the surrounding grass?
I love mowing. I acknowledge that mowing frequently is key…… but it’s so hard to carve out the time I work so much 😫😫😫😫 lol
Great information as always. I moved a year ago and the yard is not exactly thriving. I'm torn between trying to "save" it or doing a full renovation (on the front yard) and this makes me have a little more hope in improving what I already have. However, I think I have some quackgrass in my front yard (lighter in color, thicker blades, and grows quite fast) so I can't decide what to do about that. Also, can I do a soil test if I put pre-emergent down this spring or will that skew the test?
You should be fine on the soil test if it was pre-emergent without a fertilizer mixed in. Long term we did end up doing a full renovation on this yard and it's never looked better. I recommend the full reno eventually but learning the steps with what you have is easier than going straight to a full reno.
@@ryanknorrlawncare so I’m in deep with weed pulling instead of spraying. Am I wasting my time or will this save me the headaches later on. Was just going to spray kill and oversees but last year it didn’t work. I live in Canada and we can’t buy proper herbicides here
I have more weeds than grass - crab grass, clover, moss, you name it. I sprayed weed control couple of weeks ago and got most of it. I cut the grass short yesterday and put some seed down on the bold spots. Also eyeballed some Scotts Turf Builder lawn food fertilizer. A moderate rain felt a couple of hours later.
I plan to apply a weed & feed (Scotts again) in a couple of weeks. Will try to cut it weekly to 3 inches.
We'll see how it turns out - even a moderately thicker and fuller lawn will be great!
It sounds like you are doing everything you should be doing to have it come in nice, healthy, and thick this year. If it is kind of thin in areas, you may want to overseed now too and get that going. It'll help fill it in.
Good luck, you're doing exactly what you should be it sounds like. 👍🏼
So how did it go? Looking better?
Ryan, May I ask how did you make your set up for your sprinkler?
What considerations would we need to make differently with dogs who “burn” areas due to their nitrogen content from pee/feces?
Ryan, how long between putting down the pre-emergent and using a weed spray?
I did that "I will mow once every 6-8 weeks, in FLORIDA..... I killed most of my grass with the layer of dead grass.
I got so inspired, I hired a landscaping company. LOL Looks awesome now.
Another solid video, Ryan! Could you make a video about how to take a lawn with 2 different grass types into 1? ( I live in Northern VA and have both zoysia and tall fescue in my yard) would like to have the zoysia take the whole yard over.
Not give Ryan any credit he does an excellent job, if you want more details on zoysia go to howtodoc you tube channel
Great video, Ryan. I notice the patch of lawn you’re improving doesn’t have a tremendous amount of visible thatch. Mine does. What is the timing for NE climate dethatching, and how much trouble can I get myself into by using a greenworks type of device? Fair disclosure...I have one next to me. Thanks!
Hey there - I wouldn’t worry about timing, as long as you’re not doing it during high temps/drought conditions where the lawn is already super stressed.
You should be ok to get after it soon and hopefully we don't go straight to heat right away.
