Hey George, My lawn looked liked your neighbor's across the street but worse. Followed your tenacity and seeding in the spring videos then followed you instructions to the "T" on greening up the lawn. Now I have a thick emerald green weed free lawn that exceeds most on the block. The iron was a miracle trick. Awesome job!!!
George, I've been following several other lawn TH-camrs for the last couple years. I find myself now coming to your channel more often....you do a great job of explaining and editing your videos to make them easy and interesting to watch. Great job, keep it up!
@@PrincessCutLawnCare anything really. Maybe a look at the difference of the "double dark" combo. Before and after photos are nice, which a lot of people do, but sometimes they're not taken at the same time of day or one is sunny and other is cloudy. Having that line in your yard and seeing the difference sold me on spraying some iron. I'm looking to get a good properly chelated iron product. I heard that edta chelated iron is good because its stable. Anyways, thanks a lot for the quality videos. It's nice that you get straight to the point and it's not watered down material.
Your channel is absolutely awesome! I just moved into my house in may and the lawn was just terrible. Lawn care products are complicated and intimidating. Thank you for showing us how it’s done so we can also have amazing lawns!

Great video. All you need to know to get a nice looking lawn. Good to see your backyard is "normal" I want to see more of it. You could do high maintenance front yard and beginners, intermediate backyard.
Great info.I've been watching a lot of different lawn care videos lately, and this is the first time I've seen any mention the lawn size calculating app. Thanks!
I’m tying to find info that pertains to South Dakota . . I am 100% enjoying your videos . Our home sits on 2 acres . We have 17 acres . But we mow the 2 acres . I have not found a way to measure and leave out the 4 buildings . I am excited to make our rural acreage yard thick and dark green . We took out 40 trees 15 years ago and we just took out another 45 . So there are weird levels of hole type areas . So the leveling and all that and the deep green are my goals for 2022 . It’s not freezing here yet so I think there is something I can do to help make it through the winter . 🤓
Hi Brenda! Thanks for stopping by:) Use the Scott’s measuring tool I showed in this video, you will be able to customize the measurement points around your building, make sure to do it on your computer and not phone 👍
Our yard is full sun all day long. My neighbor is in partial sun in the afternoon. His lawn always looks so much more green than mine, even though I do my best to beautify it at the right times with ferts, amendments etc. Ugh.
you should overseed some of those elite varieties of fescue. I just seeded titanium 2ls on the north side of my house that gets sun all day long and im hoping it holds its color come next season
@@PrincessCutLawnCare Maybe you could do, if you haven't already, the difference between the grass types? Rye, fescue, etc. The cool weather lawns, then for those in the southern regions, you could do one for their grass types. I don't think I want a clumping fescue, but I really don't know.
I've had the same experience with the sun. My partial sun and shade areas have fared much better this year. Thats probably largely due to severe drought and heat stress we had this summer though.
@@programmingchicago these fescue don’t look like those ugly wide bladed climbing fescues, they are much thinner bladed and darkkk green. They look very nice!
i loved that SLS darker green when i used it earlier in the year, its been my favorite Iron product so far. I'm trying a water soluable one in an upcoming video, so I'm interested to see how it compares
My lawn it’s green, really green but I want it deep dark green! Hope that make sense, been on Scott program and usually doesn’t give me that dark green.
Never used there products personally but i've seen many black beauty ultra lawns on IG and they look fantastic! What products from them are you specifically using?
On the website you can follow their plan for spring/summer and fall. The diagram shows what’s months to put down the product. I just use their seed and had great success as well.
Just wanted to make sure, so fertilizer, iron liquid, then water the grass all in the same evening right? Also for the next day do you have to water the grass or no?
Great content, thanks. I overseeded about a month ago with starter fert too, then this past weekend I applied a nitrogen rich slow release, should I add liquid iron this weekend? Or wait til next spring. Live in massachusetts
Hi Raymond great question! I would hold off on the iron til next spring, all the diff types of ferts like Scott’s, next, Anderson’s all contain more then enough iron for the baby grass, then once it’s fully established you can apply full rates
Hey i need some help, i over seeded my lawn on September 25th, its now on the 3rd week of growing without being mowed. Ive hardly seen any growth, and we got our first mini snow storm yesterday. I’m saying this because i want to mow in order to put down winterizer before the first big snow storm, but don’t want to run the risk of ruining all of my hard work with over seeding. I hope this made sense and great video!
@@PrincessCutLawnCare unfortunately i don’t have a reel mower, but i have an electric mower that is fairly light compared to a gas mower. I’m not sure exactly what grass it is but I’m in Colorado, so some sort of cool grass I’m guessing. Also the seed i put down was Kentucky bluegrass
I'm in indianapolis so our weather is similar.... is it too late to oversee this week? Was waiting to get my lawn aerated, and he was 2 weeks late. Otherwise I'd already be done for the season
Simple and to the point George! You sold me a that. I have a mix of fescues and kbg and apply gran. ferts as directed and still can’t get to that blue green color! I also don’t iron every month so I’ll do that now and next year. What type of cool season turf is that (wish you said in begin unless I missed)? It looks stunning!! 😍
Thanks Martin! The front yard is a mix of midnight kbg and ss9000 ryegrass and the back yard is a mix of fescue and kbg. Those liquid iron applications will make your lawn pop! Appreciate you watching!
Excellent stuff as always George. I have both granular and liquid iron I can use at the moment but having just overseeded with seedlings just coming in now and some KBG somewhat stuck in that sprout and pout phase , can I use either form of iron with such new grass and seedlings yet ? Or should i wait a few more weeks before I put more iron ?
Hey kelly! the best budget option would be feature 6-0-0 its a powder that you have to mix up but its a great choice that wont break the break just be sure to wear a mask when mixing otherwise your mouth will taste like a penny for a few days haha
@@PrincessCutLawnCare That powder stuff is really hard to find. Ive been looking into fertilome..have you tried that? Or Lawn Star? How much do you personally normally apply for liquid iron.. ive seen different rates. In general for the 6 percent iron, I've seen anywhere from 3 to 16 oz per 1000 sq ft.
Thanks for this video..very helpful. What are your thoughts on weed and feed from scotts instead of scotts turf builder. I am assuming weed and feed will help with preventing or killing weeds? I got a SOD installed few days back and want to be ready when its time to fertilize.
Hi Sweta! Weed in feed can be a great product in certain situations, however i wouldnt apply it to fresh sod. Fresh sod will be under stress until it fully sets into the ground. If i were you i would buy the scotts lawn food i showed in this video and apply half bag rate every 3 weeks until the the summer temps start and dont worry about weeds until the fall.
@@PrincessCutLawnCare Thanks..another question..after the first few weeks how often should the lawn be mowed? I have heard the more often you mow in the first year the better and lush the lawn will be.
I love this video, George, and it comes just in time for October and Halloween. I also will be following these steps abot 7-10 days before halloween just to give it one last hoorah and show the neighbors who is boss. I am curious to know did you water the control area as well or just let it go with nature?
Thanks grant! i lightly watered it in and it rained .75 in the week of the experiment so both plots got the same amount of water give or take .1 in from the light watering
Great video, thanks for the tips. How long does it stay green or do keep adding a little bit of iron to keep it green especially during the cool and cold months (turf type tall fescue) Thanks
I appreciate the reggae music George. But after putting down one pound per 1000 sq ft of Nitrogen do you intend to put down any more for the rest of the year?
Dude you really should host a editing class. Your editing skills is A1 my guy and does not skip a beat. I’m light years behind you and as always this is good info!!
@@PrincessCutLawnCare please go thru with it , we ALL could use a little brush up on editing. You know all the tips and tricks to a solid video. Your videos have always caught my eye. !
Will do bro but honestly I’m still an amateur and just learned over the past year lol Watch the difference from my first vids til now.. just watched a boat load of videos on how to learn the video making process
Hey George, Got some good tips from this video and explained well. Going to order some of the liquid iron and give it a shot. Is there a cut off date for us cool season people to not apply the liquid iron?
@@PrincessCutLawnCare George, When I had my lawn aerated by a company, it caused a lot of ruts from the heavy machine in my turf. The lawn was pretty wet to begin with, and I was dealing with some shallow roots from sod webworm damage. It kinda “tore” up my lawn more than I expected. Even though my lawn is growing in nicely from the overseed, I can feel how uneven it is. It’s pretty much throughout the lawn and leveling it at the time of overseed was not an option. Will it kinda fix it itself over time?
HELP HELP HELP!!! Hey George, love your videos man. I’m under the gun and need quick advice. I live in Utah and have 9K of KBG. It’s all in good shape as I spend a lot of time and effort on my lawns but I’ve had a bad thatch problem in my backyard with some places having over an inch of thatch. This week I spent all day Tuesday dethatching and scarifying and all day weds aerating and picking up the cores. All in preparation to level with sand and overseed. The city is turning off the water mid next week so I’m trying to get everything done ASAP. On Thursday I leveled my front yard with sand. Later that night it started raining and it’s been off and on raining since. It’s supposed to clear up tomorrow but be raining and possibly snowing Mon - Weds next week. I’m not sure what to do about overseeding. Normally after you level with sand that’s damp/wet you’d wait until it dries and then work it down into the canopy of the grass. When I put the sand down the other day it was damp and I used a landscape rake to comb it and work it down into the canopy the best I could. I also used a drag mat so I feel like I worked it down in the grass pretty good. The sand is still really wet from the rain so it’s not drying out giving me the chance to work it down into the canopy any more. I bought 5-iron Perennial Rye from unitedseeds.com. Here’s my question…I really want to get this seed down and roll it in but I don’t know if that’s a good idea. I’m afraid if I don’t do it now the weather might not give me another break to get it down before it gets too cold. Am I okay to seed into the sand and roll it in even though the sand is wet and hasn’t fully worked itself down into the canopy? I’m just not sure what I should do. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Thanks bud! You will really want to work that sand in before you seed because you don’t want to disturb it while it’s germinating. How much sand is covering the grass? Is it completely buried?
@@PrincessCutLawnCare no it’s not completely covered. I spent hours trying to work it down into the canopy with my landscape rake but it was damp so it wasn’t getting down in there as well as it would if it were dry. Some areas have more grass poking out than others but there is a fair amount of grass showing.
@@TheCureThatKillz you will want to make sure it drys and you work it in because the seeding window is closing and there might be a chance some of the rye grass will not take… then you’ll be stuck will bare spots so better to ensure the leveling is complete before seeding
I honestly just came to comment on the thumbnail. Im curious how many years are between the two photos. Based on the size of the small tree and new house next door i want to guess 5-7
@@PrincessCutLawnCare i love those spot the difference pictures This one just gave me a quick chuckle. Had a random tree sprout in my yard my first summer so i let it grow as my first benchmark.
If these pics are three days apart, did the trees drop their leaves in three days, and the yews grow three inches? Looks more like six months...maybe...
i dont care about my lawn as long as its greenish. im not in a town house so almost no one see it. why spend so much money to make 1.6 acres look good when no one cares. only reason i watched this is i use do to "lawn care" which was just cutting it and not caring. it was the most underpaid job i had. i made a whopping $0 for 6 months of work. you ever mow a lawn with grass that's 3ft tall? or a lawn in a super sketchy Detroit neighborhood?
One thing I need to do better is dial in the lbs per 1000/sq ft. I always just wing it and get close, but never with any precision. That was fine w/milo or ringer, but w/synthetics you should try and be more careful. Great idea w/the scale!
yes, you need quinclorac and MSO mixed together with water in a spayer, you can get it here amzn.to/3P6tlGT and MSO here amzn.to/392qqym Spray it on your crabgrass and it will be GONE. Good luck
Great vid with excellent tips and info George. I love this time of the year for us cool season grass people , great to see the green up and the grass really thriving coming out of the very tough summers up north. I just finished a bit of a reno myself a few weeks ago and the conditions have been great for success. I have KBG & PRG seedlings all over the place (first time using Barenbrug seeds) and the existing grass looks great at the moment. The overnight and morning dew this time of the year is also very helpful , especially for seeding with the grass moist until basically 11 am most days is such a bonus. Working outside in the lawn in these temps is so much more enjoyable as well. Wish the weather could be like this all the time.

Hi John! Do you have a manual push reel mower?
Also what type of grass is it?
@@PrincessCutLawnCare unfortunately i don’t have a reel mower, but i have an electric mower that is fairly light compared to a gas mower. I’m not sure exactly what grass it is but I’m in Colorado, so some sort of cool grass I’m guessing. Also the seed i put down was Kentucky bluegrass
Great stuff man! How long does the green last?? How many times during a summer should we apply?
Can you use the liquid iron in the fall or only in the spring? Ty!!
Both! I use it monthly thru the growing season
I'm in indianapolis so our weather is similar.... is it too late to oversee this week? Was waiting to get my lawn aerated, and he was 2 weeks late. Otherwise I'd already be done for the season
Hi Henry, I’d say it too late, temps are dropping this week and soil temps will be below 50 very soon
@@PrincessCutLawnCare thanks man! Your lawn looks great!
@@henrybarcena5604 appreciate it sir!
How much water for the iron mix?
Simple and to the point George! You sold me a that. I have a mix of fescues and kbg and apply gran. ferts as directed and still can’t get to that blue green color! I also don’t iron every month so I’ll do that now and next year.
What type of cool season turf is that (wish you said in begin unless I missed)? It looks stunning!! 😍
Thanks Martin! The front yard is a mix of midnight kbg and ss9000 ryegrass and the back yard is a mix of fescue and kbg.
Those liquid iron applications will make your lawn pop!
Appreciate you watching!
Great information. When should you apply these products if you live in New England USA?
thanks! right now is prime time for you guys up until the beginning of nov
@@PrincessCutLawnCare Thank you. I love your videos.
true enough Im actually crossing my milegro kentucky bluegrass with midnight next years season, to get a darker yard
sweet thats gonna look awesome!
Excellent stuff as always George. I have both granular and liquid iron I can use at the moment but having just overseeded with seedlings just coming in now and some KBG somewhat stuck in that sprout and pout phase , can I use either form of iron with such new grass and seedlings yet ? Or should i wait a few more weeks before I put more iron ?
Thanks Andrew! I would hold off on the iron until next season.
Most ferts contain a bit of iron that will be enough for the new grass
Hey George, do you have a cheaper option that you like for liquid Iron? I have about 10,000 sq ft to do and that one might be a bit pricey for me.
Hey kelly! the best budget option would be feature 6-0-0 its a powder that you have to mix up but its a great choice that wont break the break just be sure to wear a mask when mixing otherwise your mouth will taste like a penny for a few days haha
@@PrincessCutLawnCare hahaa! Awesome ill check that out thank you!! ❤
@@PrincessCutLawnCare That powder stuff is really hard to find. Ive been looking into fertilome..have you tried that? Or Lawn Star? How much do you personally normally apply for liquid iron.. ive seen different rates. In general for the 6 percent iron, I've seen anywhere from 3 to 16 oz per 1000 sq ft.
Thanks for this video..very helpful. What are your thoughts on weed and feed from scotts instead of scotts turf builder. I am assuming weed and feed will help with preventing or killing weeds? I got a SOD installed few days back and want to be ready when its time to fertilize.
Hi Sweta! Weed in feed can be a great product in certain situations, however i wouldnt apply it to fresh sod. Fresh sod will be under stress until it fully sets into the ground. If i were you i would buy the scotts lawn food i showed in this video and apply half bag rate every 3 weeks until the the summer temps start and dont worry about weeds until the fall.
@@PrincessCutLawnCare thanks a lot for your response
@@PrincessCutLawnCare Thanks..another question..after the first few weeks how often should the lawn be mowed? I have heard the more often you mow in the first year the better and lush the lawn will be.
I love this video, George, and it comes just in time for October and Halloween. I also will be following these steps abot 7-10 days before halloween just to give it one last hoorah and show the neighbors who is boss. I am curious to know did you water the control area as well or just let it go with nature?
Thanks grant! i lightly watered it in and it rained .75 in the week of the experiment so both plots got the same amount of water give or take .1 in from the light watering
Great video, thanks for the tips. How long does it stay green or do keep adding a little bit of iron to keep it green especially during the cool and cold months (turf type tall fescue) Thanks
Thanks! I do this exact procedure every month during the growing season
I appreciate the reggae music George. But after putting down one pound per 1000 sq ft of Nitrogen do you intend to put down any more for the rest of the year?
Haha I thought you would:)
And yes I will be applying 1 more pound in a month which will act as a winterizer as well
@@PrincessCutLawnCare Oh yes, lol and thanks for answering
Dude you really should host a editing class. Your editing skills is A1 my guy and does not skip a beat. I’m light years behind you and as always this is good info!!
Thanks dude, funny you mentioned that..
I’m considering starting a “how to DIY TH-cam channel”
@@PrincessCutLawnCare please go thru with it , we ALL could use a little brush up on editing. You know all the tips and tricks to a solid video. Your videos have always caught my eye. !
Will do bro but honestly I’m still an amateur and just learned over the past year lol
Watch the difference from my first vids til now.. just watched a boat load of videos on how to learn the video making process
Hey George,
Got some good tips from this video and explained well. Going to order some of the liquid iron and give it a shot. Is there a cut off date for us cool season people to not apply the liquid iron?
Thanks! anytime during the growing season
@@PrincessCutLawnCare George, When I had my lawn aerated by a company, it caused a lot of ruts from the heavy machine in my turf. The lawn was pretty wet to begin with, and I was dealing with some shallow roots from sod webworm damage. It kinda “tore” up my lawn more than I expected. Even though my lawn is growing in nicely from the overseed, I can feel how uneven it is. It’s pretty much throughout the lawn and leveling it at the time of overseed was not an option. Will it kinda fix it itself over time?
Awesome content George! How would you compare the liquid iron vs. Feature 6-0-0?
Thanks Roman! Love feature but the SLS iron has been the best ive used to date, will be trying out some others this season
@@PrincessCutLawnCare I will give it a try. Thanks!
HELP HELP HELP!!! Hey George, love your videos man. I’m under the gun and need quick advice. I live in Utah and have 9K of KBG. It’s all in good shape as I spend a lot of time and effort on my lawns but I’ve had a bad thatch problem in my backyard with some places having over an inch of thatch. This week I spent all day Tuesday dethatching and scarifying and all day weds aerating and picking up the cores. All in preparation to level with sand and overseed. The city is turning off the water mid next week so I’m trying to get everything done ASAP. On Thursday I leveled my front yard with sand. Later that night it started raining and it’s been off and on raining since. It’s supposed to clear up tomorrow but be raining and possibly snowing Mon - Weds next week. I’m not sure what to do about overseeding. Normally after you level with sand that’s damp/wet you’d wait until it dries and then work it down into the canopy of the grass. When I put the sand down the other day it was damp and I used a landscape rake to comb it and work it down into the canopy the best I could. I also used a drag mat so I feel like I worked it down in the grass pretty good. The sand is still really wet from the rain so it’s not drying out giving me the chance to work it down into the canopy any more. I bought 5-iron Perennial Rye from unitedseeds.com. Here’s my question…I really want to get this seed down and roll it in but I don’t know if that’s a good idea. I’m afraid if I don’t do it now the weather might not give me another break to get it down before it gets too cold. Am I okay to seed into the sand and roll it in even though the sand is wet and hasn’t fully worked itself down into the canopy? I’m just not sure what I should do. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Thanks bud!
You will really want to work that sand in before you seed because you don’t want to disturb it while it’s germinating.
How much sand is covering the grass? Is it completely buried?
@@PrincessCutLawnCare no it’s not completely covered. I spent hours trying to work it down into the canopy with my landscape rake but it was damp so it wasn’t getting down in there as well as it would if it were dry. Some areas have more grass poking out than others but there is a fair amount of grass showing.
@@TheCureThatKillz you will want to make sure it drys and you work it in because the seeding window is closing and there might be a chance some of the rye grass will not take… then you’ll be stuck will bare spots so better to ensure the leveling is complete before seeding
George, whe biggest benifit for homeowners is going to be "dethatching and aeration" of their lawn...
I honestly just came to comment on the thumbnail.
Im curious how many years are between the two photos.
Based on the size of the small tree and new house next door i want to guess 5-7
Hi mike, the left picture was in 2018
@@PrincessCutLawnCare i love those spot the difference pictures
This one just gave me a quick chuckle.
Had a random tree sprout in my yard my first summer so i let it grow as my first benchmark.
My man is a passport bro.
Thats fucking crazy man.
Cray cray 💯
If these pics are three days apart, did the trees drop their leaves in three days, and the yews grow three inches? Looks more like six months...maybe...
Did you watch to the end?
Did you ever do a video on how to get rid of ants on your lawn?
Spray and walk backwards bud...don't trot through jt.
I went to the site and no where did it let me check my map. It just asked what my Sq ft was. Smh. Thanks anyways.

First comment….What’s his prize George???
nothing yet but i do have a giveaway coming up haha
i dont care about my lawn as long as its greenish.
im not in a town house so almost no one see it. why spend so much money to make 1.6 acres look good when no one cares.
only reason i watched this is i use do to "lawn care" which was just cutting it and not caring. it was the most underpaid job i had. i made a whopping $0 for 6 months of work.
you ever mow a lawn with grass that's 3ft tall? or a lawn in a super sketchy Detroit neighborhood?
Dont kid yourself my friend... i know you have a deep down passion for lawn care other wise you wouldn't be here 😂
By the way im happy your here:))))
1 yr later
One thing I need to do better is dial in the lbs per 1000/sq ft. I always just wing it and get close, but never with any precision. That was fine w/milo or ringer, but w/synthetics you should try and be more careful. Great idea w/the scale!
I usually do the same but have recently really be trying to precise as possible, those scales work great
Have you any advice how to kill or get rid of crab grass it’s starting to take over my lawn
yes, you need quinclorac and MSO mixed together with water in a spayer, you can get it here amzn.to/3P6tlGT and MSO here amzn.to/392qqym
Spray it on your crabgrass and it will be GONE.
Good luck
Great vid with excellent tips and info George. I love this time of the year for us cool season grass people , great to see the green up and the grass really thriving coming out of the very tough summers up north.
I just finished a bit of a reno myself a few weeks ago and the conditions have been great for success. I have KBG & PRG seedlings all over the place (first time using Barenbrug seeds) and the existing grass looks great at the moment. The overnight and morning dew this time of the year is also very helpful , especially for seeding with the grass moist until basically 11 am most days is such a bonus. Working outside in the lawn in these temps is so much more enjoyable as well. Wish the weather could be like this all the time.
Thanks Alex! Fall is my favorite time of the year as well!
I hope we get an extended fall season this year 😃
