I've followed both channels for years, long before Freedom Factory. It's always great to see you pop up in the Freedom Factory! The new grass is looking fantastic!
Such an incredibly well executed sod laying operation. This is no easy task. So much work and maintenance. Don't know if this level of grass quality would be possible without you!
You killed it, huge congrats on a great project completed and continued success with maintaining and future potentials! Truly a skilled professional through and through.
This is so great for me! Don’t know for sure, been a follower of all three for a long time. I think o first found the lawn care nut, then Pete, then Cletus. But I could be wrong. I have most certainly watched all of each persons videos…. Although I have fallen off from Pete’s North Carolina rants about life. And I most certainly love Cletus’ positivity and example for life… “if it is your passion got for it and do it to the best of your ability!!!! No knock on any one else. Law Care Nut is most definitely a close second.
All the new folks! I've been watching cleet for 7 years?.... give or take. (James just got hired) But I've been a fan of this Alan feller for longer. (He lived in NW indy) My lawn looks amazing because of him. And ended up loving lawn care so much u started my own business!!! Great channel! Even better collab.
I will never forget cutting, and hand stacking 54 rolls per 4x4 pallet, for 10 hours a day 6 days a week all summer long.. On the back of an ol Massey Ferguson tractor. Thankfully I started 2 years after they used to use a walk behind cutter and the rolls were cut to length by hand before you rolled it up and stacked it on a pallet... I will also never forget laying 100,000 sq ft of sod with only 7 guys. 2 baseball/soccer fields. In the middle of July in eastern Montana. Sod was life for 7-8 years there.
Hand stacked sod for 3 or 4 years before the farm bought a new to them Trebro autostack harvester bolted to a John Deere 6220. Light years ahead of hand stacking but still a nightmare to operate and maintain, especially when the soil the sod was planted in is clay. Each roll was about 28-35 pounds, it would pick up 5 at a time and swing them around to stack them on the pallet. That constant motion took a toll on bushing, spears, and the iron frame of each component itself. Hell I once had to cut the last 16 pallets of the year with no autosteer, dam cable that runs to the shoe had broke and we didn’t have a spare. 🤦♂️ the good old sod days.
Well done! I'm a Cleetus Crew member and I might need some help with my lawn way up here in Maine. I'm kind of shaded and lots of moss. Yah, way too much mulching it I think... I can't do anything until last week of April at the earliest and I will have more snow in two days. I'm always at least two weeks behind everyone else because of the trees around me 29:39
I found myself here from Cleetus's channel turns out I spent 10+ years working @ Professional Lawn Care here in Iowa so I can appreciate what it is your doing, I even had the chance to lay some sod @ John Deere here in Waterloo :) for the most part I ran a John Deere 4620 with a Land Pride 14 foot grooming mower, can't wait to see how lawn care is done in another State with your different soils and weather
Looks awesome Allyn especially the Bermuda which will forever be there 😂. Keep the content coming on the FF grass. Zoysia is generally a slow establisher takes a lot to get that double weave system up and running 😂 (stolons and rhizomes) for those that don’t know
I’m a lawn care nut lover! I’ve used ur yard mastery on our last home and yard. We recently moved and have a house in East Texas the back yard is bare. I plan to bring in top soil to level it out better and be better than the sand we have. The back yard does have a cedar tree that provides some dense shade at times. Would you recommend the dense shade mix from black beauty? And if so when is best time to seed it and start growing it so I can have an incredibly green lush and dense back yard?
I used that spray gun when I worked for GroGreen out of Plano Tx. The old owner from TruGreen worked at GroGreen when I was at GroGreen. I have heard that same story but don’t think it true about one of the lawn tech designed that spray gun. I use 13/13/13 on first application of the year. I then put down 100% by putting shavings from my local brake shop down. It then turns it a deep deep dark forest green color.
Lawn Forcement Officer reporting. 👮🏼♂️⛳️🫡 Ready and willing to protect at all costs brother! 🤘🏼🇺🇸 you got a spare FF 500 ticket? 🤠 turf is getting dialed!!
Brother I literally just put a big ass sticker that says lawn enforcement officer on my truck today. Just gotta show up to the freedom factory with my tactical weedeater now.
Literally tossed out a bazillion dollars worth of Sod Pods getting rid of that grass... I would have bought a pile of that grass to put in my yard! Looks awesome tho and can't wait to see it in person this summer!!
Hopefully you start carrying the new hydr8 soon, I’ve heard some good things. Now to just top dress and roll every year for the next 100 years or so. The old British secret to a well manicured lawn. Time to add Hydr8, microgreensk and iron+ to the store. We need some of the pro specialty products especially the hydr8 for our Texas clay soil.
For the Bermuda I kinda think you could have tried a rooting hormone & ammonium-sulfate with extra iron if the soil tests allowed it. You might have some root-rot with the excessive watering, hopefully the new-track has some serious deep tile drainage for the full 21 inches of grass roots, maybe even an adjustable water-table so you could flood-&-drain if it dried out too much in the summer.
You could have done a lot better with the drainage-plan in that it should have probably been SCH 40 or dual-wall. 4-inch corrugated has the same flow as 3-inch-smooth-wall.
So Allyn. I have zenith zoysia and know sea kelp increase sodium from soil lab. I have water filtration in whole house with slightly added sodium. Filtration is not on bypass and used to water lawn. So house filtration irrigating in new zenith zoysia sod. I bought your sea kelp. It’s Safe to apply sea kelp to assist root growth? Added sodium from sea kelp and filtration system not going to effect new sod ?
Hey Allyn , I’ve been a mad subscriber for 10 years now , since you had 15000 subs . I’m over from the Uk , staying in Orlando and going to bush gardens tomorrow ! April 8th. Would love to have a coffee with you if you are free and can spare the time , I’m so close to you I would love to say hi !!! Obviously I can’t see your lawn but would love to have a coffee whilst the kids and wife are on the rides !!!
Bermuda's are the best looking and durable grasses if you ask me. I live in Texas and the wild bermudas are super dominant over some of the more decorative strains. The wild is really quite blue and will survive drought better. I've never been a fan of st. augastine grasses. They grow well in shaded areas but the texture isn't very nice.
why would 2gallons cover 100sqft but also 1.5gallons cover 1000sqft? would it not just change how fast you can apply and not the actual coverage area of the product? im confused by that.
I've followed both channels for years, long before Freedom Factory. It's always great to see you pop up in the Freedom Factory! The new grass is looking fantastic!
Same here
This is truly one of my favorite TH-cam collaborations ever. So awesome you guys work together.

thank you Bob!
Al.I just want to compliment you and your crew for doing outstanding work.Your masters at your craft.
Just watched Cleetus video, Alan did amazing job

@@TheLawnCareNutI disagree the Nut is #1 !!!!!!
the grass looked great man, hell of a job!
Been a sub of your channel for a few years and Cletus's too. Good to see you two working together and doing work and videos together!!!
Thanks for taking care of our freedom factory!
You are a perfectionist If my lawn looked like that I'd be thrilled

Excellent job Allyn. Looking forward to seeing you wield the reel mower! I ❤ bermuda
O heck ya brother !! Been waiting to see you're point of view on the grass. Already watched cleets video. This is awesome stuff. 💯💯💯
Great job guys!!!
Love seeing you at the Freedom Factory. Looking forward to the next update.
Nice job!
You did a great job. I came here from Cleetus. I subscribed, and I am keen to get my lawn looking great.
Love this collaboration.
Awesome job
Great job Allyn!!

Great content, the Bermuda is the winner!
See you at the freedom factory
Great video Allen 🤜🏼🤛🏼
12:21 I sprayed hydretain end of last summer and it works great.
I feel your pain with the sprayer. Used to spray a 80 acre sod field with a 50 gallon boom sprayer pulled behind a four wheeler lol.
Yard mastery products work great for me in Northwest Indiana
Will watch you next video. Glad you are helping though.
Awesome work my man.
thank you!
Hell yeah brother!!
great work
Looking forward to the sand leveling videos. Have to go all in for this project 😁
Loved this video!
Looks awesome Allyn especially the Bermuda which will forever be there 😂. Keep the content coming on the FF grass. Zoysia is generally a slow establisher takes a lot to get that double weave system up and running 😂 (stolons and rhizomes) for those that don’t know
Rooting and booting!
Bermuda is a King Alpha turf! Nothing beats it.

Great stuff here! I feel like he should put some type of netting up and around the corners.
Came here from Cleetus. Here to stay!
Same!
Need to spray Primo on the Bermuda... Especially if you are reel mowing. Will make it super tight
Learning good stuff even though I live in Wyoming.
I used that spray gun when I worked for GroGreen out of Plano Tx. The old owner from TruGreen worked at GroGreen when I was at GroGreen.

I can’t wait to see Al on the Greensmaster 😂❤
Looks great Al! Most zoysia is much slower to get started compared to bermuda. But it will look much better in the long run
Look at the spreader Mate B. 9 gallon tank and 80 inch spray width

Have a good race! I hope they don't ruin the new grass.
Been by to survey the damages?
Whoop whoop!
wonder if north bridge would survive in south Texas

Good thing you could use Endurant paint (that Pete uses) if it’s not completely greened up.
What is going on with the ground at 21:03?
Looking Great!
I'm worn out watching you walk spreading/spraying.
Tell Cleetus he needs to get a stand on rider spread/sprayer rig...😂
Do you have any plans to add big jugs (1 or 2.5 gallon) of the Sea Kelp and any new NEXT products on your website early this year?
The Freedom spectators are going to be in for a real treat. Woodstock, eat your heart out.
When laying sod I always thought it goes down level to the row next to it. Clearly thats not the case. I guess over time it evens itself out?
I would like a 2.5 of sea k!

Fancy crabgrass!
🤣🤣🤣
I wish i had all that sod they took up.
What's the purpose of using 3 different types of grass?
Brett’s alive!
You could have done a lot better with the drainage-plan in that it should have probably been SCH 40 or dual-wall. 4-inch corrugated has the same flow as 3-inch-smooth-wall.
+1
I'm not a drainage expert but I was thinking that this seems like consumer grade drainage on a huge commercial property.
When does the new Hydr-8 from N-Ext come out for DIYers? Would this be an alternative to Hydretain?
So Allyn. I have zenith zoysia and know sea kelp increase sodium from soil lab. I have water filtration in whole house with slightly added sodium. Filtration is not on bypass and used to water lawn.

As a landscaper, seeing Cleetus roll out sod gives me extreme anxiety 😂 Great job guys!
Video of the Ego mini bike ripping it on the track when?!
soon!
Always order turf with the dirt washed off. It establishes so much faster.
Glad you chose Allett over other brands.
Ohh haha i thought they We're doing the donuts and drag races after you planted the new grass i was kinda mad and felt bad for you😂
Seems like you were sodding the Freedom Factory yesterday. Is there any way to see the race if you can’t be there?
Cleat has a live stream you can buy and watch at home.
Where can I get some of the citra blue in the Houston area?
it's only in Florida right now, may be in Texas in a couple years
3:07 seeing all that StA grass dug up hurts my ❤
it was painful for me too. we had history.
Would have been cool if you brought GCI Pete in for a bit of help on this. But overall great job. Wish I was going to the FF this weekend.
It’s growing…………😅😅😅😅👍👍👍👍
I’d love to see your steps on your smart watch 😂
Thank goodness you’re getting rid of that crabgrass😀 Yep Minnesota guy here.😅
🤣🤣🤣
What robot mower are you going to be getting for the freedom factory?
Kress
@@TheLawnCareNut nice. That’s wild that they have a 6 acre mower. I’m looking at the Luba 2.
6/29/24 ...would like a update
Why not use spreader and sprayer you can pull behind a tractor? If they even make a spreader like that
Cleetus told me to come here or yeerrr done!
Walkin backwards while spraying would have eliminated the spray on your pants. But what do i know.
why would 2gallons cover 100sqft but also 1.5gallons cover 1000sqft? would it not just change how fast you can apply and not the actual coverage area of the product? im confused by that.
the walk speed is a consistent 3mph, so your speed over ground is always the same. Therefore the only variable is the volume the tip allows to flow.
@Thelawncarenut I gotcha. I thought you were talking about the targeted dose per 1000 Sq ft. So it made no sense to me.
Why didn't you use bimmi???
That sod being peeled looked like a biore strip...
Need to get Pete to come down. He’d have a blast at the track.
Howdy
Maybe I'm just lazy, but I would be driving while spraying n praying 😁
