I am a homeowner been watching your channel for two years and thanks to your advice my yard is essentially looking better appreciate it I'll keep on watching
This guy is the best. Wish i had a lawn company that had near the knowledge as this guy. Forget about the price I just want a good service. Best wishes for him
Excellent! I am putting in a zoysia lawn with plugs, and really appreciate the education, as I never have had the experience with zoysia and the weeds here are very active.
Kris from Spring, TX. This video and a lot of your videos have been super helpful. I’ve been researching and sounds like Celcius and Certainty are the combination I need. Your breakdown of pre vs post emergent weeds makes sense. Thanks and please keep the info coming.
You might also consider a new product that just came out called southpaw. I might be using it more for spot treating next year. Should be great for broadleaf weeds and sedges and some grassy weeds
How can I find out the ratio for a spot sprayer if I wanted to mix both Celsius and Certainty together for spot spraying weeds that pop up after following your pre-emergent plan of Resolute and Specticle Flow. I just retired and I am going to take over my two acres of lawn care and do it myself. Thank you and I have been following you for a couple of years and appreciate the information very much!
Don't use a pre-emergent if you plan on seeding your cool season lawn in the Fall though. The only one that I know of that can be used and still allow germination is Tenacity (Mesotrione).
FlowZone is having a sale on their 2.5 gallon sprayers for $90 (Microburst 2.0). Comes with the battery and charger. I bought some this morning, I'll use them next season for insecticides/fungicides.
Very grateful for this information. I'm aiming to get certified this winter for my landscaping business. Could you tell me how you got your certifications in Alabama? I live in Alabama also so it should be the same process. Thank you for any help! Great job explaining so much information.
I run a z sprayer jr 2 / 12 gallon tanks. At 50 psi and 3-4 mph putting down .57 gallons per 1,000 sq ft. Should I be getting about 21,000 sq ft coverage of 12 gallons?
Great info! What brand of battery spot sprayers do you recommend? I’ve got several 1 gallon pump sprayers but would like to transition to battery ones. Also, wish you serviced the Odenville/Moody area!

whats your favorite for poa in cool season KBG? ~ Been fighting it with tenacity since late july early sept. losing faith in tenacity though . last time i spiked with nitrogen for uptake and burned some seedlings out .
Thanks so much, Jason! This really helps me target weeds in my centipede lawn! Certainty and Celsius have been my go to but I may consider some other options for areas where I have heavy sedge or poa infestation to help with suppression
Enjoyed the video and appreciate all the details. On broadleaf weeds in a Georgia bermuda lawn, would you use different products at different points in the year, or is Manor the one you recommend in both warmer and cooler temps? I think I damaged my grass once with 2-4D in summer temp, so have been nervous about when I can use the broadleaf products and would like to better understand options for different times of the year.
Depends on what I'm trying to accomplish. I don't like using manor too much. I might use it twice per year. You need to make sure you're within the annual limits on the label. Sometimes Manor mixed with change up is a good combination for broadleaf weeds at a fairly cheap price. I don't use 2-4d in the summer. Changeup is a good alternative
Cost aside, why wouldn't one just apply Specticle Flo in both Spring and Fall as an all-year pre emergent program? It's been proven to be far more effective and is labeled for many more broadleaf summer weeds than Prodiamine. The only logical reason I can think of would be to try and prevent weeds becoming tolerant or resistant to the active ingredient in Specticle Flo. Thanks for the great Videos!
@elian222 I do that often and so do many other people. Personally, I plan to continue using it in the fall but would like to try other options in the spring that might be a little less harsh on the rooting
I have a lawn that is half bermuda half fescue due to a large amount of trees. Looks like the resolute can be used on both grasses. Any recommendations on post emergents that I can use on both grass types?
I'm in south Florida (St Augustine but not sure of the variety) for the past three years, the main weeds i noticed is spurge or pusley, crabgrass and some sort of sedge.. two questions. (1) one of the suggestion is to mix the pre and post emergent (i have prodiamine, celsius and sedgehammer), the pre emergent needs to be watered in but the post does not how do i go about that? do i have to wait some period of time before watering?... (2) is now (early October a good time to put down pre emergent is south Florida (palm beach county)?
@@bryanswift10 Charge the customer 200 dollars to do an application that is 10x before you start to make money. I say it is worth it if you have good clients.
I have Celsius, Sedgehammer and Quinclorac. I use the Celsius and Sedgehammer together but not sure when to use Quinclorac...please any advice would be greatly appreciated.
split app of specticle at 3 oz / acre each app okay for north Texas? first app in Septemebr and October and second app of course in November and December. Also, do you add surf. to your tank mix if you have pre and post in there? I've been advised not to do that.
Yes, I think that split app is good. I'm typically just doing one app at 6.5 Oz. Either way should work. I add surfactant with pre and post mixed together almost all the time
@@lawncarelife very interesting! I appreciate it. Do you still keep the same surfactant rate of 2/3 oz per gallon? This is also something I’m learning so forgive me, but don’t you have to be careful with 24D when Bermuda or St Augustine is transitioning into dormancy? Thanks!
sulfentrazone really controls nutsedge. Apply when not too hot. Then the following year hit it hard in the spring or early summer and it shouldn't be that bad. You can also try certainty but its a very slow killer.
I am a homeowner been watching your channel for two years and thanks to your advice my yard is essentially looking better appreciate it I'll keep on watching
Now is the time to spray nut sedge.Timing it right before dormancy will greatly improve the root kill before the winter. I use Sulfosulfuron.

@lawncarelife
Anybody?
Average lawn is So. Cal is 800 sq ft. 100% have irrigation. Prodiamine 65 in the small bottle is all we need.

How much resolute do you mix in 28 gallons z sprayer?
Didn't know Tom Brady took up lawn care after retiring. Have fun Tom!
Thank you
Thankfully, NOT TB !! Our lawn guy has a far superior accent, greater lawn accumen , and is far better lookin'...ha ! ha !

Looks a lot better than when you first moved in!
That's for sure

Can you discuss how you charge for spot spraying with your more expensive chemicals like tribute total. New owner/operator.
Let’s connect I’m getting into the business. Located here in Texas.
Jason did you quit using Change Up?
No

My yard is full of dandelions, crabgrass, chickened, clover,bluebell, plantain, thistle and vines. What can you suggest.?
Another great video, so informative.
Alabaster alabama here. Love your content .

Would celsius be good for killing cool season grass in zoysia?
I have a lawn that is half bermuda half fescue due to a large amount of trees. Looks like the resolute can be used on both grasses. Any recommendations on post emergents that I can use on both grass types?
Thanks for sharing your experience
good video. Now follow up with a video explaining what a broad leaf is, and grass weed,
hope ur kidding or you got a long way to go lol

whats best for quack grass?
Quack grass is sedge. Whatever you can afford to control sedge.
@@kennethbarta3477 suggestions? please
great video, thanks
Would you be willing to mentor me ? I am wanting to open a business similar to yours here in central Texas.
What size nozzles do you use on your Zspray
Lavender tips
Is it ok to apply these products in early morning while grass is still wet with dew
I do that all the time
2k for a gallon? That better be made of unicorn snot and mermaid spleen.
10z per 100 gallon I’ve heard it’s supposed to last 2-3x longer than prodiamine. Best used in commercial applications I think
@@bryanswift10 Charge the customer 200 dollars to do an application that is 10x before you start to make money. I say it is worth it if you have good clients.
Great video
What about simazine as an alternative to specticle?
No
I have Celsius, Sedgehammer and Quinclorac. I use the Celsius and Sedgehammer together but not sure when to use Quinclorac...please any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Quinclorac is for young Crabgrass.
I agree with the other comment. I use quinclorac as a crabgrass post emergent. I also use it on wild violets
Can you make more centipede videos? There’s not much out there
Yes please! The few that are there aren’t as comprehensive with recommendations and real world info!

What good for army worms and grubs, Spink bugs and clover 🍀
Thanks again!
What about dove weeds
I’m in Texas battling nutsedge.
Maybe it will stop growing soon if the cooler weather gets here
sulfentrazone really controls nutsedge. Apply when not too hot. Then the following year hit it hard in the spring or early summer and it shouldn't be that bad. You can also try certainty but its a very slow killer.
$2000 for a bottle? Thats insane.
REALLY 😂
Dallisgrass!!!???
I use tribute total and dismiss
Listening and all I can think of is the testing for ground applications. 🤦♂️
That's why I buy all my gold from Rosslyn capital 😂
A lot of these products have a shelf life....some are 3 years and some are less....careful cause you'll be wasting money.
If I want to kill weeds, reseed Burmud grass in spring. How shall II do it. put pre-emergent first then reseed or reseed first then put pre-emergent?
