Literally have never seen a “ lawn pro” in my area even come close to your thorough investigation and diagnosis. Your clients should be proud to have a lawn professional like yourself! Keep up the great work!🍻
@@pestandlawnginja he’s absolutely right! Whenever I talk to lawn guys in my area I feel like I have more knowledge about the maintenance of grass than they do and I don’t know jack 🤣🤣. Anyway like he said your clients are very lucky to have you my friend. Keep up the great work and content!
I did lawn care (as an employee) for almost 10 years. I wish I knew this much when I was doing it, because those lawns could have looked fantastic with just a little advice to the homeowner.
Nice job on this video brother. Ur step by step walk through is what draws me to ur vids. Ur very thorough & ur explanations on problems & solutions make sense to me as a do it urself home owner. Thanks for the vids. Ur doing an awesome job.
You're welcome! Glad it's helping. I started this process because I was finding people were guessing more often than putting logical flow behind the diagnosing. Thanks for the comment.
Ginja; man you are the best! I’ve been fighting what I thought was grass dying when I was over watering. You truly know your business. Peace out Brother.
These step by step diagnosis videos are amazing! Very well thought out and presented. Amazing job at the content you are out putting I know it benefits a lot of people!
Thanks for the feedback scott. Those are my exact intentions. I do 20 lawn assessments a week during the hot months and more often than not it could have been prevented by proper watering.
Your system of diagnosing problems in turf is extremely impressive. I manage 4 lawn crews and am often tasked with identifying and treating disease for customers. Your approach is thorough and precise. I will definitely be incorporating your methods with how I approach things in the future.
This was an outstanding video. As a doctor, I love the way you problem solve and think. You have to get at the root cause of things and there are things that are primary and secondary. Keep up the good work and your approach to problem solving. 👊🏾
My lawn is about a year old and it did great last summer. This year as soon as it started getting warm the browning started. I've been so confused but you've set me straight. Who knew grass could get diabetes too. Lol. Thanks for this video and very much looking forward to catching up with the rest. Subscribed
You have the best videos much better than any others I've seen, you have your head on straight and you live in Utah, my back yard my neighbors next to me and across the street had great yard's until two weeks ago now their turning brown so if you happen to be around 1900 south in Clearfield feel free to stop by and say hello Ken
Clearfield is a great place to live! I don't get enough chances to enjoy that area. If the lawns are turning brown I'd check the water first. Thanks for the hospitality.
Ginja, you tell us to put our questions in the comments. In the last few days I put several questions but so far I had no answer. I love your videos I earn a lot. thank you.
I’m in Australia and I think your videos are great. Every one so far has a white picket fence, and I am just starting to think that maybe they are different houses. First one I’ve seen that has any patchiness in it. It’s nice to see someone who can actually present a lawn that is clearly imperfect to be honest on TH-cam most of them seem to be showing off a great lawn and then complaining about something that can’t be seen in the video. Great camera work too.
Troy! Thanks for the shout out! great to hear you're finding value in my videos. Really appreciate the feedback. My entire goal is to show people how to master lawn problems so I like this series too.
Pest and Lawn Ginja .. Good deal, brotha!! This video was VERY helpful to a situation I'm in the middle of right now. Going to cut back on the H20 and see if some of the issues clear up. Took the info from another one of your videos and used a screwdriver to probe . Looks like I'm over watering. Anyway, I truly appreciate your efforts and time! ✌️
Awesome video My lawn is all slope but it hasbeen raining a lot lately and it lookslike i have a fungus issue here... your video is a huge help in understanging the problem now i need to look for solutions Thanks
I learned a lot from this. Yes I noticed the pine tree earlier in the video. The shrooms---ohh ok, I thought there was rotting wood below. I am in humid Kansas City and we have fungus problems. I rebuilt my lawn to it would drain better. I agree on the no mowing as a solution. I noticed this worked for me here.
You really know your stuff and explain nicely the steps to diagnose. I wish my lawn care guy was that communicative and able to let me know he knows what he is doing..
I got the same issue! I just finished refurbishing (de thatcher and over seeding) and have Over Watered my lawn in areas. You are awesome! BTW, my Lanzie was delivered and the peat moss - seed trick in another sect of my lawn was awesome, thanks to you!
Thanks to is for all the awesome advise. I have trouble with my lawns and still can't get it right. Someway I can send you some pics and give some advice?
My lawn was really green and now I am noticing brown grass underneath. From too much watering because I noticed mushrooms in the lawn. Great tips and advice
@@NNJPRGreg I always thought the more water the greener the grass.. I have not watered in three days. I'm going to wait and see what happens. Hopefully it's not too late to turn it around. Thank you again for the tips
Thanks this was very helpful. My lawn had been looking great, then we got rain almost everyday for a week, lots of rain and started to see brown tips in lower spots of the lawn where the water settles. did the soil prob and it's soaked. will let the lawn grown out a then mow to see if that takes care of it as wel as cutting the watering out for a while.
That was informative , I just subbed to your channel .I live in Ga. We have had high temps and humidity , and a lot of rain and storms , at times 6 to 7 days in a row . I reseeded parts of my lawn where I had septic tank and line repairs , my soil is very much red clay , I spread some top soil when I seeded in the end of October 2017 , fertilized with triple 10 every 6 weeks as the instructions , the grass was beautiful until about 6 weeks ago then the brown out started , now its almost gone , the ground looks black , its in a shady area and not much sun , I guess I will do it again in October , my yards large and no irrigation , in the past with fescue turfs it takes about 5 years to get somewhat of a healthy lawn here .
Thanks for telling me this. The areas that are dying almost sound like pythium blight that's traveling through the lawn. This happens due to humidity and too much water. It spreads very fast and completes its life cycle within 30 days. For the red clay humates are going to be your friend. I would put down a humic granular every other month during the growing season. As for rebuilding the shady areas I would consult a local nursery or seed distribution company and find a perennial rye grass or rhizomatous tall fescue.
Thank you this is exactly what happened to my lawn. My issue is that I just overseeded my lawn so I watered it once or twice per day. What would you suggest that I do in this case?
Great video. Thinking this is our issue but not 100% sure. Newly seeded lawn is only 8 weeks old this Friday. Some parts I’ve already had to lightly mow cause it’s growing so fast it’s starting to block our underground sprinklers. Other parts aren’t coming up as much and are starting to turn yellow and the ground is still wet. We were still watering daily before getting hammered with lots of rain the last couple of weeks.
@@pestandlawnginja i have a question which i am trying to find the answer for so here goes.....as a gardener myself just starting out on my 2nd year i am studying when is the latest possable day in spring i should offer a scarify as i dont want to do it to late in spring. I find alot of my clients have nice green lawns but because i have only just been working on them i find that alot of tbe green is moss so want to offer my service but obviously not to late any help would be great..am in the north west of the uk aswell thanks
Very good lawn investigation Ginja, that was very helpful and entertaining. I think l have the same problem in my lawn, I'm going to do the same investigation to see the problem could be. Thanks for sharing your knowledge bro. 👍
Can you do online diagnosis for people and charge? I feel I’ve tried to do so much to help my lawn and it gets worse every year. I’ve purchased aerator. De thatcher, I fertilize shoot I swear I even talk to my grass and it still struggles.
Great education. I heard you say you are in Utah. I'm seeking a knowledgeable Pro like you but in the Fredericksburg, VA. I don't know if I have bugs, fungus, ...
tug on the grass, if it comes out then most likely a bug. Many fungal issues have a tendency to come back year after year. I would check to make sure you're doing proper watering first, bugs second then check for fungal issues and patterns after that.
Pest and Lawn Ginja, Thank you. My Lawn is Zoysia grass. We put down that Sod 3yrs ago August. Looked awesome that year and spring of the next year but started having brownish spots and then whole sections of lawn looked distressed. Now its spreading further. Would you know a Pest and Lawn Pro in this Fredericksburg, VA? I've treated for Grub twice, fungus 3 treatments. Ive read some and worry about a Nematode bug?
Unfortunately I have never handled Zoysia grass. I have read up on it and have heard some rumors about problems and what not the truth is I haven't handled it. I wish I had a good referral for you but I don't. Nematode come in two varieties, beneficial and non beneficial. If I were in your place I would start with the basics. Understanding proper watering for the type of grass you have, macro and micro nutrients, biostimulants and mycorrhiza (beneficial fungus) supplementation.
Interesting, a lot of other channels recommend fungicide to try to tackle this, but I'm more convinced by your suggestion of growing it out then taking the top off. Thanks.
I'm up a bit further north (in Corinne, west of Brigham City). I'm fairly certain I've been over watering. How do you water in this heat then with cool season grass? I water every other day to keep it green. Same amount of water, just fewer days? Also, with my soil being alkaline (fairly certain) I've been looking at putting down elemental sulfur. My grass is very light green in patches, and trees have iron chlorosis. Is that a good long term fix rather than infrequent doses of chelated iron? This was a great video. Answered questions I have had. Pretty certain I've got a bit of fungus also from my watering.
Hi Ian. thanks for the comment. In my experience centeral to northern utah soil is between a 7.0 and an 8.0. It is high. I've never tried the elemental sulfur approach. Not to say it wouldn't work. IMO from the people that I've talked with its been a short gain a year or two of applications. The ag department recommends up to 4lbs of nitrogen per year to help balance out the PH for Kentucky Bluegrass, Rye Grass, and Fescue type lawns. I'm all about limited the nitrogen content and my fingers are crossed you can get some long term results with the elemental sulfur. my opinion on the tree is that it is exhibiting lack of iron. The elemental sulfur may help chelate the iron that is already available in the soil so you're on the right track. When I do tree diagnosing and see trees with lack of iron symptoms I first look at the feeder roots to make sure they're not damaged. The lack of iron is generally a symptom of stress or nutrient deficiency. The stress is generally caused by one of three things 1. the tree wasn't planted correctly, commonly too deep. 2. a feeder root(s) were damaged at some point 3. not enough available sources of nutrients for the size of the tree. This is commonly an issue with trees larger than 10" in caliper diameter.
We always hear that deep, infrequent watering is best, and daily shallow watering causes shallow roots... but (from what I’ve heard) golf courses water daily, and their grass is beautiful! Do they have shallow roots? Do I care if I have shallow roots if my lawn looks like a golf course? Thanks for all your help!!

seeding can be tough! Don't get too frustrated!
I see in your steps to let it grow than cut the top off...should it be bagged or can we mulch it? Great video!
you'll want to bag simply because this is what is causing the spreading of the fungus
Here is another question: after Bagging, do you also need to disinfect the mower? Or can a good wash of the under deck help stop The spreading??
Love this guy keep up good work
Thanks John!

I think l have the same problem in my lawn, I'm going to do the same investigation to see the problem could be. Thanks for sharing your knowledge bro. 👍
Love the feedback! Thank you for watching!
Solid advice. Thank you.
you're welcome Bill!
Can you do online diagnosis for people and charge? I feel I’ve tried to do so much to help my lawn and it gets worse every year. I’ve purchased aerator. De thatcher, I fertilize shoot I swear I even talk to my grass and it still struggles.
Where did you go to school or are you self taught? Very informative and helpful videos. I have learned so much.
School of hard knocks 😂😂😂 trial and error and a ton of reports for several accredited universities to backup my beliefs
Haha that intro music.. look up Cowboy Kent Rollins. Great channel!
hahaha, I'm fixin to fix up the perfect lawn yah hear
Pest and Lawn Ginja haha 😂
Nice good job 👍
Thank You!
I love grass too!
We can be friends, we have soo much in common ;)
Great education. I heard you say you are in Utah. I'm seeking a knowledgeable Pro like you but in the Fredericksburg, VA.
I don't know if I have bugs, fungus, ...
tug on the grass, if it comes out then most likely a bug. Many fungal issues have a tendency to come back year after year. I would check to make sure you're doing proper watering first, bugs second then check for fungal issues and patterns after that.
Pest and Lawn Ginja, Thank you. My Lawn is Zoysia grass. We put down that Sod 3yrs ago August. Looked awesome that year and spring of the next year but started having brownish spots and then whole sections of lawn looked distressed. Now its spreading further.
Would you know a Pest and Lawn Pro in this Fredericksburg, VA?
I've treated for Grub twice, fungus 3 treatments. Ive read some and worry about a Nematode bug?
Unfortunately I have never handled Zoysia grass. I have read up on it and have heard some rumors about problems and what not the truth is I haven't handled it. I wish I had a good referral for you but I don't. Nematode come in two varieties, beneficial and non beneficial. If I were in your place I would start with the basics. Understanding proper watering for the type of grass you have, macro and micro nutrients, biostimulants and mycorrhiza (beneficial fungus) supplementation.
Looks like a well maintain lawn, the house on the left you should address that one.
Agree
@@pestandlawnginja truly, poor grass 👀
Great knowledge
So nice of you to say that!
Interesting, a lot of other channels recommend fungicide to try to tackle this, but I'm more convinced by your suggestion of growing it out then taking the top off. Thanks.
It works well. The only fungicide I’ve found to control it is azoxystrobin. But you’ll have to apply every 3-5 weeks once it sets in
I wish i had that lawn!!
do it! slay that lawn!
Very thorough analysis. Too many think more water is better for the lawn. Nope...sorry.
Happens a lot in my area
Awesome Video. Exactly what I needed to hear and learn! Subscribed.
Thanks justin! Glad I could help.
Great video
Thanks!
I'm up a bit further north (in Corinne, west of Brigham City). I'm fairly certain I've been over watering. How do you water in this heat then with cool season grass? I water every other day to keep it green. Same amount of water, just fewer days? Also, with my soil being alkaline (fairly certain) I've been looking at putting down elemental sulfur. My grass is very light green in patches, and trees have iron chlorosis. Is that a good long term fix rather than infrequent doses of chelated iron?
This was a great video. Answered questions I have had. Pretty certain I've got a bit of fungus also from my watering.
Hi Ian. thanks for the comment. In my experience centeral to northern utah soil is between a 7.0 and an 8.0. It is high. I've never tried the elemental sulfur approach. Not to say it wouldn't work. IMO from the people that I've talked with its been a short gain a year or two of applications. The ag department recommends up to 4lbs of nitrogen per year to help balance out the PH for Kentucky Bluegrass, Rye Grass, and Fescue type lawns. I'm all about limited the nitrogen content and my fingers are crossed you can get some long term results with the elemental sulfur.
my opinion on the tree is that it is exhibiting lack of iron. The elemental sulfur may help chelate the iron that is already available in the soil so you're on the right track. When I do tree diagnosing and see trees with lack of iron symptoms I first look at the feeder roots to make sure they're not damaged. The lack of iron is generally a symptom of stress or nutrient deficiency. The stress is generally caused by one of three things 1. the tree wasn't planted correctly, commonly too deep. 2. a feeder root(s) were damaged at some point 3. not enough available sources of nutrients for the size of the tree. This is commonly an issue with trees larger than 10" in caliper diameter.
We always hear that deep, infrequent watering is best, and daily shallow watering causes shallow roots... but (from what I’ve heard) golf courses water daily, and their grass is beautiful! Do they have shallow roots? Do I care if I have shallow roots if my lawn looks like a golf course? Thanks for all your help!!
You're welcome
Thank you.
I will do that.
I raked the dead grass up so it can breathe.
Awesome 👏
Excellent video! I couldnt figure out why I got some browning happening but you made the bulb go off. its been so wet here in CT. 7" last month alone.
it happens to the best of us. inspecting lawn blades is a great step to figuring out what the lawn is telling us
Here in NE Ohio also. Way too much rain!
@@davidszakacs6888 ugh, hopefully it stops soon!
@@davidszakacs6888 Funny this video comes up in my feed again. 10.98" of rain last month. Lots of browning and fungus
