I have been in commercial lawn care for 22 years. George, you communicate better than most of the presenters at the lawn care workshops I have to attend for my license requirements. I have subscribed and will continue to follow!
Very cool way to deal with the neighbor situation. I’ve seen other TH-camrs make it awkward or act annoyed behind the neighbor’s back, you made it friendly and fun for her, us, and yourself.
I'm in Chicagoland as well. I bought the Flagship Fertilizer and holy moly does my lawn look great! I never saw a big difference with the other regular fertilizers I used. Neighbors at either side have a bunch of dandelions and the dandelions are afraid of my lawn. Thanks again! Also, I got the big bag which was very economical
George you are slowly becoming the go to guy. I can see you do your research , listen to what other experienced guys say and then put that all together and make your own educational video. That is how its done by first hand experience and also research. Well done sir.
Are you a teacher when you’re not on your lawn? You have a good teaching voice, delivery, and easy to follow videos. Love your videos man. I’m learning on each one for us newbies lol.
Grand Slam George! This is a great educational video. I like how you aren't beholden to one product line or brand and how you explained each product and application process. Good job man!
Good comment on the Milorganite phophorus. I was almost ready to buy a few bags but then my soil test came back as low on nitrogen and too high on phos.
Nice! I'm a big fan of the "cheap" all purpose stuff. At my local co-op they have bags of 10-10-10, 16-16-16, 12-12-12, and 6-12-12 for less than $8. While you can't really dial in your nutrients based on a soil test, it's a super cheap option that gives nice results. You just need to be careful and pay attention to the source of them. I bought a bag of it from a big box store and it had a lot of corn in it. Not the end of the world, but just something to pay attention to.
Love our pearl 04 GX. 157,000. Bought for $10000 three years ago 120,000, now worth at least $12000??? The paint and interior still look like new and we park outside. Had a nightmare that it broke and I had to find another, thankfully woke up and realized it was just a dream. Great with your morning espresso while driving through a foot or two of snow. Would not even consider off roading in it, though my stock wheels get crazy traction.
I love anything that’s packed with micronutrients... typically more expensive, but totally worth it in my opinion. That 16-4-8 liquid is awesome too!! Great video George!
Nice job Bro! Very detailed! I may be mixing in some LESCO this year! And congrats on almost 6K subscribers too! I know you’ve been working hard on here! Proud of you bud! 👍
George a lot of people I’ve met who say they are from Chicago are from a suburb of Chicago. I was born near North Ave and Wells back in the early 50’s. The only grass I knew was in Lincoln Park. Now I live in Houston. My lawn is a version of Bermuda called Celebration. My friends and neighbors tell me how green and lush my grass feels. I on the other hand am pulling weeds by hand , watering brown spot with the hose and having nightmares about burning my grass using the wrong chemicals. Help me Obiwan.😊 I miss my condo in LA.
Hey my friend! I grew up not too far from you in Ukraine village (Damen and rice) but yes your right we are now located in the burbs (Naperville) Sounds like you got a pretty solid plan goin for your lawn, keep it up and you’ll be surprised how far you can take it! If you need help with anything specific please feel free to reach out! 😃
We don't get the blue bag of Scotts up here in the PNW and I really wish we did. That would be my go to fertilizer. Great video again man! makes me consider the price on the stuff I throw down.
@@PrincessCutLawnCare thought I recognized the area. Im trying to ditch the useless services and go it alone. Got a few things brewing. Posted in the IL lawn nut facebook group to see if I could ID the mess
Love in man! I'm excited to see how Flagship works on you front yard. I thought it was really awesome how you covered both big box and boutique fertilizers. Great work!!
I’m new to lawn care and have a few questions. 1. When is best time to lay out insect repellent granulated? 2. Can you put weed and feed with a fall seeding? Thank you
2:07 Hey, there's the KY Bluegrass I'm trying to establish as my main cultivar... Hey, there's the Dense Shade Mix I'm overseeding with under my trees to keep it from thinning out in the shade... Hey, there's the Scott's Starter fert that I put down when I seed... Hey, there's the mini handcrank spreader that I use all the time. You're making me think I need to go out and check my garage to make sure nothing is missing. :D
@@PrincessCutLawnCare Oh, I was just joking that since we had all of the same stuff that maybe you had raided my garage, but I can confirm that nothing is missing. :D
I like watching your advise cause we both live in chicago so you know how the weather is here and have given great advise on wich seed to plant and what time of the season
Thanks for the videos, I am learning a bunch from you crazy golf course lawn guys. I started a major project on my lawn based on these videos and I am not sure if I am turning to the green side. I see you mention Chicago burbs a bit . . . I live in northern suburbs (Mundelein area) if you ever have a hankering to check out my project and give some additional pointers. Anyway my project is what I think would be a top dressing. I have been bouncing around on my zero turn for too many years now so I made a drag rake out of a big piece of c-channel. So scalping and laying out sand/soil mix and dragging it out. The drag rake worked out much better than I thought, but revealed the fact I am going to need a few semi's of material. Keep the videos coming . . I am a subscriber.
@@PrincessCutLawnCare Wheaton guy here. I like your channel for being in my part of the world. I tried flagship last year late summer. I waited for Skilling to forecast some rain before I spread it. We got like 3 inches so not sure if it washed away. Think I am going the Menards route this year. I need to do a soil test and I have to win the war against my new friend, spurge.
I blew it. I used Scott's Weed & Feed just yesterday when I should have used Turf Builder. Now, I have to wait 10 (!) weeks to seed some patches big and small and that puts me at June 28 here in suburban Chicago, certainly not the best time of year. Darn. Just subbed here a week ago, and to a couple other channels. Live and learn, but thanks PCLC!
Can’t wait to see the kbg come to life! It took mine a full season to completely fill in bits it’s on 🔥 now especially with new reel mower! I must admit I’m getting some strange looks here in Northern Kentucky as people see me mowing almost daily with the reel mower
I got the high cut California trimmer. Has a max height of 2” which gave me piece of mind in case the turf didn’t care for the low cut I could go up if needed.

Great video George ! Thanks for the spreader setting tip. Putting Flagship down this weekend myself. Love the Gorilla cart full of all those wonderful goodies 😀😀
Back in Jan/feb lowes had lesco $5 a bag, makes life easy to gt the yard jump start. use cheap stuff if you mow every 3rd week or more, put on heavy gives it time to break down and do its thing, scotts is for the impatient yard owners, fast breakdown/absorption & mow every 4 days but dont wait till the yards fully infested with weeds either ;)
I said screw the expensive stuff this year and got some ACE Hardware all purpose fertilizer 29-0-4 for $30. It does 15k feet and the results are fantastic.
@@jcraigshelton Not true.. there is many different types of nitrogen that get used by different grass types differently. You will learn if you keep at it!
I just ordered some flagship fertilizer, i put down a half of bag of milorganite one week ago. I cant wait to see how it does. My yard is only 1300 so i can get like 9 treatments out of the bag. Thats like 6.11 each treatment.
Hey man! I'm in the process of top dressing and overseeding right now. In ontario over seeding in spring can be tricky. I'm waiting to put the seed down once the night time temperature gets to around 5 degrees.
New home owner here. Surprised how obsessed I became with my lawn! Trying to get my lawn right after dethatching in the summer! Where are you at in Chicago? Thanks for the tips, your videos really help.
great video. very informative. personally, i only go with Milo and Purely Organics. I'm tired of getting a burned-lawn because of synthetics even with proper watering.
I couldn't find milorganite so I used Scotts Green Max. I put it down a month ago and my yard is still dark green. I was lucky I had a full day of rain afterwards.
I'm with you and I have enjoyed your channel over the last couple of days and subscribed but it is interesting that @ 11:19 there is a stark difference between yours and your neighbors lawns. Inquiring minds would be interested in your view of this view. Wauconda IL here Thanks.
Thanks buddy! My lawn was completely killed off in September and reseeded with 100% bluegrass, unfortunately it will take about 24 months to fully establish itself.. doesn’t look great now but it’s slowly getting there, watch my lawn renovation playlist if you’d like to check out the process
I’m obviously a big fan of Scott’s fertilizer, works great, easy to apply and the smaller prill size always gives me great coverage. Great video George!
Lesco has a 50 lb spreader too. Almost overkill for my lawn as well, but the difference between a Lesco and a store bought spreader is night and day, especially for a bumpy lawn. Those cheap, lightweight big box store spreaders make me nervous as they get jostled around too easily from bumps. I use straight ammonium sulfate and urea sometimes and if that spilled it would mess up the turf badly.
Dude you have a good way of explaining things and you can really reel in someone into understanding these little details that are so important in these lawn obsession of ours. Good job and now I know the difference between the Scotts yellow bag and the light blue bag I know now to use the yellow bag early spring next year But question: when I oversees in the early fall, what fertilizer is to be used at that time? I mean can it be the light blue one too cuz I know the yellow one won’t help the seed germinate, or should I stick to Milorganite? Btw, this year I overseeded in this spring and threw down some Pennington UltraGreen starter fertilizer and has been doing very well with a deep green look.
Thanks Oscar much appreciated:) You can use the same starter your using or of weed pressure is a big problem then I would use the light blue Scott’s. Glad to hear your seeding project is going well! Keep up the good work
🌞Great video! I've used most of those before, too. You forgot to mention on the Scott's Starter, "except Bermuda seed". 😂 Bermuda doesn't like Tenacity. 😉 Sure is a nice spreader! 👍
@10:00 I'm not certain that using pounds of nitrogen is a good way to differentiate granular from foliar. Much better would be to use the square foot to see how much each would cost and use that for a comparison metric. For example: granular "A" fertilizer might be 3¢ a square foot while foliar "B" might be 8¢ a square foot. But this is just a financial comparison. With my alkaline soil and alkaline tap water, I can only use foliar chelated iron because the granular iron will not react in alkaline soils.
I got my soil test back and I'm high in Phosphorus. Gonna be seeding new lawn in the fall. I know starter fert has alot of Phosphorus so with mine being high should I use a fertilizer with no Phosphorus
George, I’ve just found your videos. Great advice. I too have a lawn obsession but here in Scotland it’s still a bit chilly 🏴. In saying that I still received a compliment last week that my lawn looked like Astro 🌱🌱🌱🌱 #lawndreams
Thank you for this great info. Which fertilizer to be used for Kentucky Blue Grass? I am thinking to seed KBG. As per your video Scotts Starter Weed Preventer would a good option?
Great vid man and am becoming a fan of your content, but am I the only one who noticed his front yard was the worst looking one in the neighborhood? Lmao not sure if thats because its a suck a low cut KGB or what but just an observation that made me chuckle. Still a fan of your informative content keep up the good work
haha thanks man and your right my front lawn looked terrible during this period of time as it was going thru a renovation. Watch my recent videos to see how it looks now
I must have used too much milo over the years because my soil test again shows high phosphorus levels. Though I did just see it for 7.99 at the local fleetfarm here in WI. Looking forward to seeing how the flagship works for you.
Humic Acid, RGS, Air 8, Micro Green, Green Punch, Dethatch, and Sea Kelp are all great liquid products to use. Look up John at Lawncology on TH-cam. He makes excellent products that work great. I seed KBG and TTTF here it upstate n.y. and absolutely dominate my neighbors lawns... Great video and I'm newly subscribed to your channel. Consisted cutting your lawn at least twice a week and watering a few times a week in the heat of summer also greatly improves KGB growth and spreading those rhizomes.
@@PrincessCutLawnCare No, I use Carbon X with peptides through out the full season, Scotts Weed n Feed only first application in early spring, and slow release organic fertilizer towards winter to store energy in the grass for our long upstate N.Y. winters. I also use Green Punch about 4 times throughout the spring/summer and the bio stimulant 4 pack every 3 to 4 weeks. Humic Acid is the building block for your soil so I use it at at least once per month and Sea Kelp is amazing for keeping your grass healthy as can be.
What can I put down with Milo to quicken the greening of my grass and when to put it down? I put Milo down 1x a week for two weeks ( I saw a youtube video of someone testing putting Milo down 1x a week, 1x every 2 weeks 1x a month etc 🤷🏽♀️) I was following the milo schedule and my grass was like turf so pretty and green after winter and beginning of Spring, now it's not as dark green as it was all over and I have some brown spots, slowly getting green. I have never gotten my soil tested. BTW I'm originally from Illinois but now in WA state
Hey neighbor! assuming its not too hot by you, i would put down a fast source of nitrogen such as scotts lawn food in the green bag. Milo is slow release so you wont get a fast green up say compared to the other synthetic fertilizers. Milo is great and has an awesome color responce but try not to over do it because of its phos levels. check out this video i made where i apply a some fast N and iron for a quick green up: th-cam.com/video/RR1zPvi6k58/w-d-xo.html
Can I use Scotts Turf Builder (Light Blue Bag) to kill dandelions and plant new seed? I was planning to use weed and feed, wait two weeks until I overseed.
The second bag to the left (light blue bag) can and should be used during seeding, it will feed your new grass and kill/prevent weeds at the same time. See my video where I apply it during seeding m.th-cam.com/video/fgay0NwSUhY/w-d-xo.html

Good info george. Still worried about my bare spot patches tho. This snow otw is bogus.
Thanks dude,
How big is you seeding area?
@@PrincessCutLawnCare just doin dead spots. Biggest one is about 4x4 in my backyard. Cool blue seeds just starting to pop. Hope they make it.
Great video George!! Very informative! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Thanks elimio, much appreciated bro!
Should I throw down the Scott’s Weed Prev + Starter fertilizer after an aeration and overseeding procedure this Fall?
Throw it down same day as you seed
@@PrincessCutLawnCare Thank you!
New sub here. Thanks for all your vids!
Great overview mate 👍
Thanks bro, i ended up buying an allet today, couldn't refuse their offer. I appreciate all your help
2nd vid of yours to pop up recommended . You have a sub. I tend to go the box store route. Hard to mess it up.
Big box has some good stuff!
Appreciate the sub!
See ya around
Milo is $19.99 at Tractor Supply in NJ. Cray-Z. Well done video!
Thanks rus!
Those prices are nuts, that equals out to more then any premium fertilizer
$26 now...yikes
I'm with you and I have enjoyed your channel over the last couple of days and subscribed but it is interesting that @ 11:19 there is a stark difference between yours and your neighbors lawns. Inquiring minds would be interested in your view of this view. Wauconda IL here Thanks.
Thanks buddy! My lawn was completely killed off in September and reseeded with 100% bluegrass, unfortunately it will take about 24 months to fully establish itself.. doesn’t look great now but it’s slowly getting there, watch my lawn renovation playlist if you’d like to check out the process
@@PrincessCutLawnCare Thanks, makes sense and I will.
Great video, thanks for sharing. Have you look into PGF? Thanks
Thanks! Tried the pgf complete 16-4-8 last season and really liked it! Tad bit pricey but def good stuff.
I want to try out the pgf 10-10-10 this fall
I’m obviously a big fan of Scott’s fertilizer, works great, easy to apply and the smaller prill size always gives me great coverage. Great video George!
Thanks bro, love me some Scott’s as well!
Lesco has a 50 lb spreader too. Almost overkill for my lawn as well, but the difference between a Lesco and a store bought spreader is night and day, especially for a bumpy lawn. Those cheap, lightweight big box store spreaders make me nervous as they get jostled around too easily from bumps. I use straight ammonium sulfate and urea sometimes and if that spilled it would mess up the turf badly.
Totally agree! I’ve been eyeing out that Anderson’s yard star!
Never used their spreaders but they make quality products.
Good video dude, I’m excited to throw down some flagship as well.
Thanks dude! if only these temps would stay warm around here lol
@@PrincessCutLawnCare this snow is crazy
@@TheRealLawnFather lol this snow is messed up
What snow? Only a few flakes today fell at my place😂
What’s the absolute best grass seed to reseed with, rye or fescue I live in northeast Ohio
do you like long grass or short grass?
Dude you have a good way of explaining things and you can really reel in someone into understanding these little details that are so important in these lawn obsession of ours.
Good job and now I know the difference between the Scotts yellow bag and the light blue bag
I know now to use the yellow bag early spring next year
But question: when I oversees in the early fall, what fertilizer is to be used at that time? I mean can it be the light blue one too cuz I know the yellow one won’t help the seed germinate, or should I stick to Milorganite?
Btw, this year I overseeded in this spring and threw down some Pennington UltraGreen starter fertilizer and has been doing very well with a deep green look.
Thanks Oscar much appreciated:)
You can use the same starter your using or of weed pressure is a big problem then I would use the light blue Scott’s.
Glad to hear your seeding project is going well! Keep up the good work
🌞Great video! I've used most of those before, too. You forgot to mention on the Scott's Starter, "except Bermuda seed". 😂 Bermuda doesn't like Tenacity. 😉 Sure is a nice spreader! 👍
Thanks sunny!
Good stuff George!
Hey blank man! Thank dude
Solid advice George. Keep the video rolling. Thx 👊🏻
Thanks! Will do sir!
I have to ask- is that caprice an LTZ across the street? (Flat badge v stand up Ornament)
@10:00
I'm not certain that using pounds of nitrogen is a good way to differentiate granular from foliar.
Much better would be to use the square foot to see how much each would cost and use that for a comparison metric.
For example: granular "A" fertilizer might be 3¢ a square foot while foliar "B" might be 8¢ a square foot.
But this is just a financial comparison. With my alkaline soil and alkaline tap water, I can only use foliar chelated iron because the granular iron will not react in alkaline soils.
Miracle grow lawn food on centipede grass??will it work , is it safe?
I got my soil test back and I'm high in Phosphorus. Gonna be seeding new lawn in the fall. I know starter fert has alot of Phosphorus so with mine being high should I use a fertilizer with no Phosphorus
I have a liquid fertilizer weed and feed. Not sure how to use because I just have not done it before. Need some help please
I put down Scotts with Mesotrione 4 days after seeding and not at the time of seeding. Think I will be alright since nothing germinated yet?
Yes it will be fine
@PrincessCutLawnCare Sounds good, thanks for the reply and videos.
George, I’ve just found your videos. Great advice. I too have a lawn obsession but here in Scotland it’s still a bit chilly 🏴. In saying that I still received a compliment last week that my lawn looked like Astro 🌱🌱🌱🌱 #lawndreams
Theres no better compliment then that!
Appreciate you watching my friend!
Excellent video very helpful subed and liked thanks 🤩
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you for this great info.
Which fertilizer to be used for Kentucky Blue Grass? I am thinking to seed KBG.
As per your video Scotts Starter Weed Preventer would a good option?
Great info George. I’m sure your neighbor saw you shooting a video and walked by too get a cameo shot😂
lol wouldnt be surprised!
Great vid man and am becoming a fan of your content, but am I the only one who noticed his front yard was the worst looking one in the neighborhood? Lmao not sure if thats because its a suck a low cut KGB or what but just an observation that made me chuckle. Still a fan of your informative content keep up the good work
haha thanks man and your right my front lawn looked terrible during this period of time as it was going thru a renovation. Watch my recent videos to see how it looks now
I must have used too much milo over the years because my soil test again shows high phosphorus levels. Though I did just see it for 7.99 at the local fleetfarm here in WI. Looking forward to seeing how the flagship works for you.
Likewise, i will keep you updated with my results, since it has 0 phos it can be beneficial to alot of ppl in the diy market
Great video, have you tried the pgf complete granular? This video really helps out a lot. Thanks
Thanks! And yes it’s an awesome fertilizer, pricey but good 👍
@@PrincessCutLawnCare Thanks 👍👍
Milorganite is up to 24.97 for 32 lb bag now at home depot
wow, thats wild
Humic Acid, RGS, Air 8, Micro Green, Green Punch, Dethatch, and Sea Kelp are all great liquid products to use. Look up John at Lawncology on TH-cam. He makes excellent products that work great. I seed KBG and TTTF here it upstate n.y. and absolutely dominate my neighbors lawns... Great video and I'm newly subscribed to your channel. Consisted cutting your lawn at least twice a week and watering a few times a week in the heat of summer also greatly improves KGB growth and spreading those rhizomes.
Do you use all liquid fertilizers?
Thanks for the sub btw
@@PrincessCutLawnCare No, I use Carbon X with peptides through out the full season, Scotts Weed n Feed only first application in early spring, and slow release organic fertilizer towards winter to store energy in the grass for our long upstate N.Y. winters. I also use Green Punch about 4 times throughout the spring/summer and the bio stimulant 4 pack every 3 to 4 weeks. Humic Acid is the building block for your soil so I use it at at least once per month and Sea Kelp is amazing for keeping your grass healthy as can be.
What can I put down with Milo to quicken the greening of my grass and when to put it down? I put Milo down 1x a week for two weeks ( I saw a youtube video of someone testing putting Milo down 1x a week, 1x every 2 weeks 1x a month etc 🤷🏽♀️) I was following the milo schedule and my grass was like turf so pretty and green after winter and beginning of Spring, now it's not as dark green as it was all over and I have some brown spots, slowly getting green. I have never gotten my soil tested. BTW I'm originally from Illinois but now in WA state
Hey neighbor! assuming its not too hot by you, i would put down a fast source of nitrogen such as scotts lawn food in the green bag. Milo is slow release so you wont get a fast green up say compared to the other synthetic fertilizers.
Milo is great and has an awesome color responce but try not to over do it because of its phos levels. check out this video i made where i apply a some fast N and iron for a quick green up: th-cam.com/video/RR1zPvi6k58/w-d-xo.html
@@PrincessCutLawnCare thank you!! Off to get some Scott's and iron!!
Turf builder is hit or miss with me, it works great, but I do see spots where nothing happened in.
Can I use Scotts Turf Builder (Light Blue Bag) to kill dandelions and plant new seed? I was planning to use weed and feed, wait two weeks until I overseed.
The second bag to the left (light blue bag) can and should be used during seeding, it will feed your new grass and kill/prevent weeds at the same time. See my video where I apply it during seeding m.th-cam.com/video/fgay0NwSUhY/w-d-xo.html
@@PrincessCutLawnCare Even if dandelions have already germinated? Should I dethatch before?
Good information
Thanks!
