I did my reno last fall (2022) with full KBG and it came out great when it made it through the winter i started on October 1 here in Tennessee and being in the transition zone helped cause our temps stay warm longer for it to get established now we are in summer and the KBG is still doing great despite the summer heat the fertilizer program ive used my irrigation system has helped a ton.
Also be super careful with glyphosate if you’re spraying part of your lawn you want killed but is next to maybe something you don’t want killed. Wind will carry it. And also be careful walking across the part you don’t wanted killed with boots covered in glyphosate. I learned the hard way on both scenarios
Good ol' brown footprints.
True that😢😢😢
I have put tarpaulin over my border before spraying in the past with success, I made sure I took it off carefully and wrapped it away
@@4u2nvme4ever not your first time, huh? : ) smart
Yup. Killed a small 3 foot hedge bush that was about 10 feet from where I sprayed. Probably barely got any glypho on it but it died a few weeks later.
Great video Ryan, I did a full reno on my backyard last year. Going to do my front yard this year with TTTF. By the way love your shirt. 🌱👍
Very smart to start a little early with the strong El Niño this year
Ryan, great tips. Wonder if you'd show the soaking seed process to help speed up germination. 5gal. Buckets and I think a paint strainer bag... So, video that shares the tips, tools process. If, it's a good idea in the fall - plus\minus in doing it. Thanks as always in sharing!
I did a spring renovation with your bluegrass/rye. Very happy with it so far, just wish we had some more rainfall this season, my poor water bill!
That’s reason I’m killing my bluegrass and going to TTTF, I always get 100° and direct sunlight all summer, blue grass isn’t for me
@@KDlGGyou can throw the TTTF right on top of the blue as an overseed if you want too. I did it and it essentially is my whole backyard now
@@nygrasshole I have but the blue goes dormant quick but is resilient as fuck. Fescue and blue are pretty much toe to toe and when it gets in the heat I just see the yellow tinge from the dormant blue. It just irritates me so I’m done with it 😂
@@KDlGG lol I hear that! I did the opposite and killed my TTTF front yard for a pure kbg but I kept my backyard TTTF/kbg (mostly TTTF) and they’re both doing decent. I’ll see how the kbg makes it through the next two months lol
@@nygrasshole if I had any shade at all and wasn’t getting constant 100° days with no rain I’d love a kbg yard. It looks amazing when it’s in its ideal conditions, but I unfortunately can’t provide that 😂 hopefully yours goes well
yup, I'm getting ready to start too ....one of the biggest things I'm focusing on right now is to try and get everything else done to areas I won't be renovating this fall, as before I've notice that I will be attempting to do too much all at once and 'spread myself too thin'; not giving all my attention to the important jobs, cause I've got a bunch of smaller stuff I didn't keep up on enough and then have to do those things as well - like tree and bush trimming and getting other good lawns in their best shape to come out of summer ready for a cooler growing season before it comes, it might be to soon or seem that way, but anything I can do now to get me 'ahead of the game' helps a lot when its time to get serious
Perfect timing. I’ve been thinking about the timing of this recently
Portland, Oregon complete lawn renovation starting today with spraying glyphosate on my entire lawn. I received your (2) 25lbs of Elite Perennial Ryegrass yesterday.
I’ve been thinking of fall renovation. I have 3 trees in front. Going to aerate, scarify then reseed with top soil to help level.
Ryan, Good timing to get this video out. I have a renovation plan with Bluegrass in portion of my lawn.
excellent timing! thank you for the reminder, tips, and products to order!
Just nuck'd an area of 3500sf in the backyard. I'm in NE ohio... looking to seed 1st week in August. TTTF/KBG mix. I'll pre-germinate the KBG for 10 days. So it'll pop close to when the TTTF pops
Question for whoever wants to answer. I plan on doing some leveling and overseeding end of august. My lawn has been taken over by what looks like quack grass. Is it possible to rid of them without doing a full Reno?
Spraying glyphosate round 1 on Wednesday in Detroit. Bentgrass massacre this week.
Hey Ryan - I’m in the Iowa City area. I really want to overseed this year (I usually don’t), but need to get rid of weeds (clover and creeping Charlie) first. It’s been really dry here. Can I spray weeds now? Or does grass need to be less stressed?
Don't forget you may have to core-aerate if you have compacted soil (common coming out of the oven of summer).
For a full reno, between dethatching and seeding I core-aerate, pick up the plugs for my bin, then top-dress with a compost/soil blend, do some minor leveling, *then* drop the seed, then roll, then top with peat moss and/or another layer of compost, then Scotts Triple Action for Seeding (has mesotrione; i.e. Tenacity) then roll again, and commence the scheduled watering. I did this with Ryan's Elite PRG (I live in PNW) last fall and was absolutely shocked at the results.
Great tips. I watched a ton of your reno videos last summer as I headed into my Reno. I did a full kbg front yard Reno (TTTF still in back and leaving it) and also started early. I think I put down too much seed though. Super thick but maybe too thick lol. I’ll dethcatch and aerate it this fall and let it be. Super nice. Can’t wait for the true kbg color to come out after the first year of maturity.
I grew tall fescue and 7 full kgb lawns in the summer ☀️
Hello all, i’m new to this as I just purchased this home. I dont want to completely kill this lawn but there are definitely weed issues. How/when should I try to get that under control for a fall perennial rye seeding? Im in PA. Thanks!
You can apply a blanket weed control now if you have had plenty of rain and grass is actively growing it will work quicker. Also apply a fertilizer and put down about 3/4lb of N/1000. Mow at 3 1/2 inches minimum height when finished mowing.
Great videos! It’s late summer in New England, I want to overseed in September, when can I dethatch and airate? (I have about 15,000 sq ft and use pull behind tools). I don’t have a sprinkler system, so I have some dormant grass and don’t want to pull it up being too aggressive
I'd wait until you hopefully start to cool down a little and get some rain to help things green up again
First Aussie 😁. Ryan , it’s all happening on the Lawn Ranch, another great informative video. 😎
I watched your other video and this one. I am very tempted to do this on my lawn. The only concern is that we are on a water restriction and supposed to only water every other day. Will I be able to get new seed to germinate if it only got watered every other day?
Ryan, can you please pregerminate your KBG and spread with milorganite and show us results? Great video as always.
Ryan.. that rye behind you is looking good and Dark! Been spoon feeding mine your GreenORR SP and it’s dominating the neighborhood 😎😅
I started first week of july because it was the only week not showing rain and only week I had off from work.....just applied my second coat of glyphosate on missed spots ......the yellow n brown lawn is driving my wife nuts hahaha shes begging me to seed now lol
Hey Ryan, great info as usual. While I was watching this, I couldn't help but think how your old lawn was fairing with the new owners. Are you tempted to do a drive by and record the condition after all the work you put into that yard? Curious minds want to know. 😅
Bumping this comment!
No one was going to put in the work that I did on it but I'm on to different adventures.
All good advice
I'll bet it's been quieter out there than previously at the old house! We have plenty of illegal fireworks in Des Moines, too.
Whoa, great another vid
Excellent content as usual. I live in North Carolina so we get a good mix of heat and cool weather. I am completely spraying out all my existing grass as it is a mess. What would you recommend for a new lawn in a transition zone? We do not want Bermuda. Considering between Turf Type Tall Fescue, KBG and Per-annual Ryegrass
What happened to the plans for a patch of Bermuda and zoysia?
Great video Ryan. Thanks for all the great info. I'm thinking about a small Reno in a area with Bluegrass. Loved all the stuff you Recomended.
Second yr marathon sod, temps barely touching 80 in Cali and my turf is strugggggling 😢
Thanks this year I am going to order your seeds
How do you fight incoming poa triv? When I renovate early, the heat and humidity along with the consistently damp soil promotes poa triv. Always a big issue for me the next spring/ summer
I don't have much of an issue with it here
Has anybody had any recommendations when dethatching just weeds? Should I rake it up to prevent weeds?
I am in Michigan and just recently got 30 yards of top soil put on top of fill dirt. I have grated the top soil and leveled the best I can. I am thinking P rye is what I want to go with, does anyone have suggestions?
Should be doable. You would want irrigation and want to mow it on the slightly lower side (around 2.5" is where I'm at on might taller plots)
@@ryanknorrlawncare I sadly can't afford an irrigation system at the moment. Do you think fescue would be my better option for michigan?
@@BWebb You'll have to water for sure during establishment with either option but for more drought resistance fescue would be better long term
Great video Ryan thinking of spot spraying the clumping fescue question is will dethatching remove the klumps after their dead thanks
I had to take my weed eater and scalp them off
@@ryanknorrlawncare ok thanks
Ryan--as always, a great video and one that gets me ready to reno! I am wondering if you could talk on no-maw grass renovations. We have a large yard and have an area that we would like to switch over to no-mow (low-grow) grass. Would you kill off the current grass and just seed or do you need to kill the grass and remove the old turf? Love the videos--Minnesotan here! Great work!
For my backyard reno, I am thinking to Harley rake my current lawn, so should I glyphosate before?
Yes
I have a few weeds. Can I use Tenacity now and seed in 7 weeks? Thanks
Have you done a drive-by of the old house. Wonder if the new owners are keeping up with the lawn.
I think you didnt mention what the spray does. Also is this preparation only for people renovating for cool season grass?
do you have a link to the straw blankets you prefer? Starting my 3rd reno in a few weeks and thinking of adding blankets this time.
Ryan when do you plan to do your overseeding at your house??
I tested my soil but I don’t know what it’s telling me that it needs. Can I get help. I thought you did something about this but can’t find it.
Ryan, do you have a video on ways to safely manage/clean all your dirty clothes etc after spraying thatbtozic stuff?
Thanks bud!
My lawn currently is a mix of every grass known to man haha! I am in northern Illinois and I want to use perennial rye grass to over seed. My question is if I keep using it year after year will it eventually take over my lawn and be mostly PR grass?
I have the exact same question. Hope Ryan can respond.
In short no, it will not cause the other grasses to die off
@@ryanknorrlawncare thank you so much for the reply I really appreciate it! One other question I am in northern IL. And looking to overseed this fall and then level my lawn come spring time! Is that fine to do? I know the new grass will still be young come the spring I don’t want to harm it in any way! My lawn is fairly level but there are areas that get slightly scalped when mowing where other spots thrive because they are the perfect height. I just bought your PR seed and I am super eager to use it!
What would you do if you had two dogs, who's pee kills the grass?
Ryan, can you use peatmoss on overseeding with a sand-capped lawn? other options.
Hey Ryan question for you. My beautiful elite fescue is getting taken over by crab grass. It’s super hot here in Va about 93 everyday and humid. I’ve read that it’s really bad to put down a weed and feed over 80 degrees. Would you combat the crab grass now or just wait it out until fall comes around with better temperatures
Spraying it would be best case scenario
Like a tenacity spray?
@@Bouchhhy quinclorac
Oct 10th? Seems really for that far south. Im in SE MN and we usually dont have our first freeze til around Halloween time.
iowaweather.com/when-is-the-first-frost-in-iowa/
Ryan-love the channel. Who makes the sunglasses?
What options do I have to completely kill off an area in Ontario Canada? Anyone in the know?
You could purchase “Round up” from any of the big box stores. It’s non-selective, so it will kill anything you spray.
@@dave3952 I believe that’s banned for residential use here
@@bakerfx4968 Home depot sells it $40 for 5L. I live in the Toronto area. They typically keep it locked in a cage, just ask the staff for assistance.
@@dave3952 oh ok, that’s interesting. I’ll look into that! Thank you
What straw blankets do you use?
I get them at Menards
Whats the next best thing to glyphosate?
2,4-D or some other type of selective herbicide. Will only kill the weeds, just won’t kill good grass that you may be trying to get rid of
My yard already looks like it’s been hit with glyphosate with the drought conditions in Wi. 😂
What’s the respirator you’re using?
Should be one like this - amzn.to/449gD0n (affiliate link)
Where can I get that shirt?!?
Noticed you were lifting your sprayer to mix. Little tip: you can rock it back and forth while leaving it on the ground instead. With this method, you can effectively mix things you can't lift like that, like a 5 gallon bucket of paint, for example.
What kind of sunglasses are those?!
Prescription pair that isn't available anymore
cool shirt
👍
Wayyyyy to soon here in MI. We are still in the 90's most days
Not too soon to start the spray process
@@ryanknorrlawncare oh for sure, that's already done ;). I thought you meant like scalping and dethatching and such
🌱👍
