Damn dude, the awesome green shirt makes your blue eyes POP on my widescreen. I really liked this video. It felt like a couple buddies just hanging and chatting in the garage.
The Lawn Care Nut So I have a question for you. It's really in two parts and I'll try to explain the best and shortest way possible. How do you get rid of crab grass cause my whole yard is just Crab Grass. What would grow well under my black walnut tree. I have a lot of squrriels or tree rats as I call them. So I have a shell problem from the walnuts
Im a first time home owner and just stumbled across this channel. This guy is clearly a grass enthusiast. I didn’t know someone could be so passionate about grass. You learn something new everyday lol
Me too! Tried using trugreen, but the tech that came out was so douchy I cancelled. Then they called and called and i said I'll do it myself! The guy laughed so hard and I said well I follow a guy on TH-cam, he said TH-cam? Almost fell off his chair laughing! Then I said yeah he worked for trugreen for 10 years and now has a TH-cam channel. The guy went silent hahahahaah!!!! He was like what, who, when? I was like yeah dont worry about it, like I said I'll do it myself.
Obsession is not a healthy thing to indulge. If it's a hobby and an escape from work, that's different, but just don't become a yard-care Nazi who gets bent out of shape if your neighbors don't share your obsession. In the bigger picture of human virtue, lawn care is near the bottom of the list.
Haha. Moved to the northwest from the south. I never had to water a yard or even care for one when living in south. Now that I live in a more arid region, I have been obsessed with watering and mowing my grass to get it just right
We had a terrible lawn when we purchased our house in Pennsylvania 2 years ago. Lots of brown dirt, patches of unhealthy grass, and lots of stones/rocks everywhere! With your help it's beautiful now. It was a lot of work, but my hubby and I saved it. The best thing we did was spread about 7 yards of topsoil an inch deep all over the yard. Talk about getting some exercise! (not like spreading mulch which is half the weight!) Then we put the seed down, watered it, and we have a lush green lawn now 2 months later. Love ya, man.
JonathanIsrael708 like he said always mow! Mow mow mow! I had to start with plugs and man at times I didn't want to mow. Just stay motivated and think of the end game!
I think TH-cam read my mind and suggested this video. Yesterday I started realizing that I need to start taking better care of my lawn. Very informative. Thank you!
This video epitomizes why I love TH-cam - passionate people discussing their hobbies! Great video: funny, excellent information and fantastic results. My lawn isn't looking so hot, hence why I'm here.
I live in a high desert area with alkaline soil. My regimen: I water 3 times PER YEAR, but I flood the lawn. I mow 3 or 4 times, max. If you stand back about 50 yards and squint it looks great.
Wow!!! What a video! This guy rocks! We just built a new house and the shitty instructions on lawn care from the builder is worthless..this video is golden.I appreciate you bro.
I watched your lawn care videos and did what you said. The results have been amazing even my wife said that the lawn has not looked this good in the 30+ years we have lived in this house. Thank you for your great videos!
This was the best training I've received on lawn care. Thank you so much. My lawn looks like crap now and I'm excited to put these tips to use for a better, fuller, healthier lawn.
This has got to be the best intro to lawn care I have seen on TH-cam. Thank you so much for the great detail you put into this video. Here’s hoping I can apply this to my lawn!
I got several acres and I love mowing every bit of it. Good stress reliever. 😉👍. Btw your tips have really helped me out. Fairly new home owner with ALOT of grass.
Great video! Learnt allot. My wife and I just purchased a house in Fort Lauderdale, the previous owner didn’t do anything for the lawn, now have allot of work cut out for me and paying a lawn guy was a big mistake as they cut it too short and killed a large patch. As soon as I purchase a lawn mower and all the required tools it will change for good.
You should get in touch with a company that produces calendars and create 2 calendars for lawn care. One for northern grasses and one for summer grasses! I'd definitely buy one to have in the garage! Of course we've got the online calendars we can find anywhere, I haven't seen a good physical copy with dates highlighted for apps and such. Just an idea.
Just bought a house and just got back from Home Depot with about 800 dollars worth in lawn equipment!! I Absolutely loved this video. Thanks for the tips!!
Im from the north and love northern lawns. I now live in deep East Texas and was heart broken to find out I couldn't grow Rye/Kentucky grass. I found Allyn and now I have lush Saint Augustine and I would never go back. Thanks bro.
Great video! I’ve been certified lawn tech for 10 years and treat/mow my own lawn. Over those years I have seen the great benefit in just mowing properly and monthly sharp blades especially in summer months. Mowing and sharp blades is my number one thing I try and stress to my customers.
… I’ve never in my life heard of a lawn tech ~ I’m guessing this is something you have in America 🤷🏻♀️ we cut our own grass over here (uk) unless you’re really lazy and then you’d simply pay a gardener or a local kid a tenner or £20 to cut ya grass
@@autumn5852 I do fertilizer and chemical applications for lawns. Here in America or at least state by state there are different requirements like passing a test first to become a registered technician then go onto different categories like lawn weed control applications or insect applications. We like to see that companies know how to safely apply materials to properties being commercial or residential.
I love this video so much. A lot of helpful basics that are easy to understand. I am hopefully closing on my first home (with half an acre) here in about 2 weeks, and I am excited to try to make the lawn as beautiful as possible.
Found your video and I’m glad I did. First time home owner and never had to care for a lawn. My back yard is a desert, and my front yard is spotty and covered in weeds. Your video was great and I can’t wait to watch more! I need all the help I can get!
Curious what progress you've made. If you have literally no grass you might as well dig it up and put down good soil and appropriate seed for your location.
@@angeloddrev I couldn't either, I like the guy so much but subscribe, subscribe, stop by, visit this person, talk talk talk talk talk...(10 seconds of actual action) ... talk talk talk talk. AD. Simply had to skim the video for the segments.
I live in st Pete and just bought home in nov with big lawn . So during this pandemic I been watching your stuff and getting irrigation next 2-3 weeks and will DOMINATE very soon ! Was Bout to hire tru green but now will do it myself !
I have been watching your videos now for a while and my lawn is looking great, but I have many "hills and valleys" in my lawn. I would love to see a video on leveling out a yard, how and when to fill holes and what to use!!! Thanks LCN!!!
Thank you. I’ve been begging my husband to cement our entire yard. I’ve lost three lawns so far. Cinch, then grubs then fungus. I’ll give it another go (for a small portion first).
You have a palm tree in your front yard.... how nice, it reminds me of our home in Baghdad we have several very tall palm trees. unfortunately I cant get those here in Minnesota :(
There's a lot of useless misinformation out there. It's refreshing to see someone giving basics and not recipes. I'm not a lawn nut but I am a garden nut and everything you say applies to PLANTS.
watching all the youtube videos, it's intimidating but great lawn doable. funny, my wife thinks that just because we have a very small lawn it should be easier but really the work in keeping a perfect lawn is sorta the same. yes of course less lawn means less time altogether but ultimately still the same steps and love.
Thank you for this. I became a new homeowner and I have been trying to learn as much as I can how lawn care, gardening and all of that. I did't know that you are suppose to apply fertilizer twice every five weeks. Very informative video.
I'm in the process of cutting out MASSIVE portions of my lawn in favor of planting gardens and native plants. I don't like huge lawns-nothing but boring grass. Flowering gardens are far more enjoyable and easier to maintain. Buuuut..., I do like small lawns that border the garden and add nice curves and framework. They compliment the garden, if used correctly. So thanks for this video-will use it on the remaining lawn.
Mowing is NOT the most important thing. Eating, breathing, and drinking beer is your most important thing (or else you'll be dead), then you can mow if you want. Or you can sit on your super wide recliner and mow only once every summer, and that's in Florida. Like some people I know. Let the grass grow until it reaches your waist, with all kinds of seeds that stick to your clothes.
Thanks for tips man! Im having so many problems with my lawn since Im a noob . I finally found someone who is very knowledgeable about St Augustine. Im looking forward to obtaining that knowledge about St Augustine from your videos
Just outside of Stratford Ontario here. My lawn is rough but hopefully watching this nut (pun intended) that I can have the best lawn in the neighbourhood!
Thank you LCN!! I am a beginner to a bunch of this stuff and I need more videos like this... I watch a lot of your videos and there funny and great but I a don't understand everything... Thanks so much love this channel and your mowing, Subscribed!
I’m intimidated but excited none the less to get this lawn of mines back to what my grandfather used to have it right now it’s JUST terrible but this video is a great help
Hey Allyn, based on your recommendations I resodded my 25 year old weed infested St. Augustine lawn with ProVista. It has been everything you mentioned and I love it. One question what is the optimal amount and dilution of RoundUp to spot spray stubborn weeds? Also, my lawn is not dark green, any suggestions for additional minerals? Thanks!
I want to thank you for getting me to switch to Milo. It has made my yard come alive. I do not use the 11 setting on my scotts rotary spreader, as recommended on the Milo bag. I have about 2,500 sq. Feet in my front yard, so I use the 7 setting and it dumps a bag on my front lawn. I use the same setting in the back yard with a second bag and it will cover the back yard and both side yards, also about 2,500 sq. Ft. I want to put down some preemergent but I still have to much grass seed that has not come out, yet. I am pushing this application back until the first week in May. I am putting out milo about every 4 weeks in order to build up the organic content in my soil, otherwise known as concrete in some locations.
You are truly great help. Just purchased a new house with huge backyard, and thinking about lawn care scares the hack out of me. I will use your method and give it a try!
Your lawn is soooo beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing this! I will use these tips to bring my lawn back to life because I made a mistake and put weed killer on my lawn and a lot my grass died. Anywho, If I follow these steps I know I'll be successful at getting beautiful grass.
Nothing better than wrapping up a 12hr shift to come home and have a LCN video waiting!. I've followed your advice since the spring ( aside from the organic lawn fert) as I live in Ontario Canada and have had a very hard time finding all the good stuff you guys are fortunate enough to have access to. However minus that one detail I've managed in 6 months to make my lawns appearance do a complete 360 from a weed bed, to a dark green thickening lawn that all my neighbors have been complimenting me on for weeks now!. Once I over seed next week and get another shot of fert down it should look the best it has in years by Halloween. Thanks Allyn for all the great content and continuing videos, I learn something new every week!.
Beginner lawn tips? Thank u thank u thank u. I bought a gorgeous lawn and now it’s pitiful ha! I love doing my own lawn as I love being outdoors and getting some activity! Gives me an excuse to postpone other pressing needs... but ah I needed this A few thoughts: 1. Mowing every 3 days or twice a week sounds a bit much 2. Normally we don’t have much issues with water but I prob need a watering or two
I have watched several of your videos and while I greatly appreciate how you explain things and make sense of things, I am still at a loss as to how to fix my lawn. I feel overwhelmed with all the information available as to how to fix lawn issues and how to apply that info to making my lawn one that I love. I am hoping you won't mind providing some guidence for me. My lawn is really a collection of weeds (clover, crabgrass, wild garlic, goosegrass, nutsedge, ground ivy, spotted surge.. you get the idea) and per a soil test, I have Fescue but I really want to plant Perennial Ryegrass instead (just a personal preferance). First off, I live in Southeast Virginia and after purchasing my home, I had a soil test done which showed a high acid content. I have applied lime and fertilizer and have tried a couple of different weed killers (and even with your dishsoap trick) the weed killer really did not do the job. I obviously have some drainage issues that I plan on correcting, as well as, leveling my lawn better to drain away from my home. But after having topsoil brought in and that work is completed, I'm totally lost as to how i should proceed. Despite reluctance to use chemicals, I feel I no longer have a choice. So, my yard is leveled with drainage issues corrected - what do I do next? Do I just need to kill my whole lawn (do a burn), airate or til, then apply new grass seed or what? This is where I'm hoping you can shed some light and perhaps a flow-chart of sorts, so I can stop my head from hurting and get the kind of lawn I really want. Additionally, what would be the best way to do a burn considering the jungle of weeds I harbor? Any insight, direction, even a hail-mary would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for your assistance and thank you for the videos!
I read your post. I feel bad you didn't get an answer. Sounds like you've done a ton of work, to love your home. I know nothing & have a hopeless yard so i cant help you but I hope you get it fixed. Peace.
Thank you. I just recently started mowing, and chemically treating lawns for a discount till I’m able to fully understand how to do it properly. Hopefully with time, I am able to do it with east and understanding so I can charge full price.😊
"New guy" here. This video says a TON about you. And what's being said is "This dude actually gives a shit." I can't say that about the majority of TH-camrs out there. A sincere thanks for remembering that not everyone is a pro and we all gotta start somewhere. I'll be putting some of your advice to use. You guys are good people. :)
Thanks your for all your videos and advice. I have just reseeded all my yard and it is coming a crap. Your advice will help me. You are so detailed and and also explain the reason of everything. Thanks again.
I bought a new house and the backyard seems to be more crabgrass( or something similar) then more grass. What's the best way to fix something like that
What you have to understand is he's starting with a really good looking lawn, what you don't understand is the first part to fixing your ugly lawn is STARTING SOMEWHERE!
Tip for beginners - go back to the start and watch every single LCN video oldest to newest, and implement all the strategies. (you won't find everything in one single video) - Once you catch back up live, you will be an expert and you will be dominating.
Thanks for the milorganite tip, I noticed the last number was 0. Years ago they used to say if you wanted to get rid of clover use a fertilizer with the last number 0 or close to it. The clover was taking over two large areas of my lawn last year. This year I used the milorganite you suggested and no more clover.

Justin M being patient is a key. Learn the yard pattern too. I always cut the exact same pattern.
Curious what progress you've made. If you have literally no grass you might as well dig it up and put down good soil and appropriate seed for your location.
Don't you hate being sold a house with ugly lawns?
So basically:
1. Never cut more than 1/3 of the straw
2. Water is important
3. Fertilize
HOW TALL GRASS SHOULD STAY FROM GROUND
Yes

How is the lawn now?
Good son!
You're a good dude!
Keep at it, kid! Keep! At! It!
Mulching clippins is only recommended in areas where soil is less dense. Otherwise, the thatch layer will build up and choke the lawn.
forgot to say i enjoyed my first video of you and lawn care- made me understand the cut tall and your grass is AWESOME! thank you for sharing

Thank you LCN!! I am a beginner to a bunch of this stuff and I need more videos like this... I watch a lot of your videos and there funny and great but I a don't understand everything... Thanks so much love this channel and your mowing, Subscribed!
Dude you helped me I now rock the best lawn in my neighborhood !! I cut High every 5 days!
I’m intimidated but excited none the less to get this lawn of mines back to what my grandfather used to have it right now it’s JUST terrible but this video is a great help
Hey Allyn, based on your recommendations I resodded my 25 year old weed infested St. Augustine lawn with ProVista. It has been everything you mentioned and I love it. One question what is the optimal amount and dilution of RoundUp to spot spray stubborn weeds? Also, my lawn is not dark green, any suggestions for additional minerals? Thanks!
Hey Garry, did you ever figure out how to get it dark green? I have St. Augustine as well. Have you tired Turf builder?
I came across the humic acid/sea kelp/ superthrive lawn soil recipe. Can you do a video regarding?
I want to thank you for getting me to switch to Milo. It has made my yard come alive. I do not use the 11 setting on my scotts rotary spreader, as recommended on the Milo bag. I have about 2,500 sq. Feet in my front yard, so I use the 7 setting and it dumps a bag on my front lawn. I use the same setting in the back yard with a second bag and it will cover the back yard and both side yards, also about 2,500 sq. Ft. I want to put down some preemergent but I still have to much grass seed that has not come out, yet. I am pushing this application back until the first week in May. I am putting out milo about every 4 weeks in order to build up the organic content in my soil, otherwise known as concrete in some locations.
Just so you know, Milo is The City of Milwaukee Sewage Sludge with almost 0 nutrient value. Also very high is metals.
@@galendecker5547 I'd say your head is high in metals.
@@aguyandhiscomputer 6-4-0 haha. Also has arsenic, cadmium, chromium, mercury & selenium. No Thanks!
@@galendecker5547 Tee Hee. Can you post a link to the report on those metals?
@@aguyandhiscomputer Its on their website and should be on the bag.
You are truly great help. Just purchased a new house with huge backyard, and thinking about lawn care scares the hack out of me. I will use your method and give it a try!
Your lawn is soooo beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing this! I will use these tips to bring my lawn back to life because I made a mistake and put weed killer on my lawn and a lot my grass died. Anywho, If I follow these steps I know I'll be successful at getting beautiful grass.
Nothing better than wrapping up a 12hr shift to come home and have a LCN video waiting!. I've followed your advice since the spring ( aside from the organic lawn fert) as I live in Ontario Canada and have had a very hard time finding all the good stuff you guys are fortunate enough to have access to. However minus that one detail I've managed in 6 months to make my lawns appearance do a complete 360 from a weed bed, to a dark green thickening lawn that all my neighbors have been complimenting me on for weeks now!. Once I over seed next week and get another shot of fert down it should look the best it has in years by Halloween. Thanks Allyn for all the great content and continuing videos, I learn something new every week!.
DIGGINDEEP home hardware has an organic fert. Natura all season lawn fertilizer 8-2-3. I just started using it.
@ D Meister, thanks for the info! I'll check it out.

That is a ridiculously perfect lawn! 😎👍
Mind is too..people stop to tell me 😊
Even your hair and facial hair are perfectly groomed!!
Cookie McWoo you could say he is somewhat of a perfectionist 😀
Beginner lawn tips? Thank u thank u thank u. I bought a gorgeous lawn and now it’s pitiful ha!
I love doing my own lawn as I love being outdoors and getting some activity! Gives me an excuse to postpone other pressing needs... but ah I needed this
A few thoughts:
1. Mowing every 3 days or twice a week sounds a bit much
2. Normally we don’t have much issues with water but I prob need a watering or two
I have watched several of your videos and while I greatly appreciate how you explain things and make sense of things, I am still at a loss as to how to fix my lawn. I feel overwhelmed with all the information available as to how to fix lawn issues and how to apply that info to making my lawn one that I love. I am hoping you won't mind providing some guidence for me. My lawn is really a collection of weeds (clover, crabgrass, wild garlic, goosegrass, nutsedge, ground ivy, spotted surge.. you get the idea) and per a soil test, I have Fescue but I really want to plant Perennial Ryegrass instead (just a personal preferance).
First off, I live in Southeast Virginia and after purchasing my home, I had a soil test done which showed a high acid content. I have applied lime and fertilizer and have tried a couple of different weed killers (and even with your dishsoap trick) the weed killer really did not do the job. I obviously have some drainage issues that I plan on correcting, as well as, leveling my lawn better to drain away from my home. But after having topsoil brought in and that work is completed, I'm totally lost as to how i should proceed.
Despite reluctance to use chemicals, I feel I no longer have a choice. So, my yard is leveled with drainage issues corrected - what do I do next? Do I just need to kill my whole lawn (do a burn), airate or til, then apply new grass seed or what? This is where I'm hoping you can shed some light and perhaps a flow-chart of sorts, so I can stop my head from hurting and get the kind of lawn I really want.
Additionally, what would be the best way to do a burn considering the jungle of weeds I harbor? Any insight, direction, even a hail-mary would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for your assistance and thank you for the videos!
I read your post.
I feel bad you didn't get an answer. Sounds like you've done a ton of work, to love your home.
I know nothing & have a hopeless yard so i cant help you but I hope you get it fixed.
Peace.
why am I here... I dont even have a lawn
motivation?
RyanProto same
😂😂😂😂
Because this will motivate you to buy a home. In the meantime, I want you to envision youself walking barefoot in a beautiful patch of lawn.
This is not the grass your looking for.
Is my cheap Briggs and Stratton lawn mower good enough to have a nice lawn like yours?
I can't believe Eddie Van Halen is giving me lawn tips. Pretty cool!
Hahaha - I was looking around for an EVH comment. I figured I couldn't be the only one who saw a resemblance. :p
I like the passion that you show when you talk.
Thank you. I just recently started mowing, and chemically treating lawns for a discount till I’m able to fully understand how to do it properly. Hopefully with time, I am able to do it with east and understanding so I can charge full price.😊
Great recap video!! Sad that winter is lurking around the corner here in Chicago
D Leal
Michigan here. Very sad to see all the hard work covered with snow.
Great tips to get newbies like me started so appreciated thank you.
Ima simple guy, I see grass like this, I click, NBA playoffs are on and I’m watching a grass video and 9:pm 😂😂😂
😆😆😆 I did the same thing this guy video is interesting
Awesome video and beautiful lawn!
almost like crops.
I love guys like the lawn care nut who’s saving the world from ugly lawns
"New guy" here.
This video says a TON about you. And what's being said is "This dude actually gives a shit." I can't say that about the majority of TH-camrs out there.
A sincere thanks for remembering that not everyone is a pro and we all gotta start somewhere.
I'll be putting some of your advice to use.
You guys are good people. :)
8 min into video and have already learned so much. Thanks for your videos. I am so subscribing to your channel.
I cut very low so that my grass dies and I don't have to worry about cutting as often.
our gardener WAS doing the same thing...he would cut off all new growth every week
Same here. Damn.
I literally laughed out loud
I tried that. I doesn't work. Now I just have weeds and they grow a lot faster and a lot taller.
Modern problems require modern solutions
What camera are you using? The picture quality is great.
That lawn is unreal! We who have lawns salute you!
Thanks your for all your videos and advice. I have just reseeded all my yard and it is coming a crap. Your advice will help me. You are so detailed and and also explain the reason of everything. Thanks again.
Dude, I just found your video and after watching, you're on my list of "people I'd love to sit down and drink a beer with"
I bought a new house and the backyard seems to be more crabgrass( or something similar) then more grass.
What's the best way to fix something like that
Tenacity Herbicide
hire this guy.
sounds more like a "how to maintain a good looking lawn", than "how to fix an ugly lawn"
What you have to understand is he's starting with a really good looking lawn, what you don't understand is the first part to fixing your ugly lawn is STARTING SOMEWHERE!
Very informative video. I told myself this is the year I'm going to have the greenest lawn on my street. I liked the Ron Popeil nod btw.
One of the best tutorials ever! Thank you so much. I’ll come back with results
I keep my mower height at around halfway. Any higher and I can't see the snakes.
Tip for beginners - go back to the start and watch every single LCN video oldest to newest, and implement all the strategies. (you won't find everything in one single video) - Once you catch back up live, you will be an expert and you will be dominating.

Thanks for the milorganite tip, I noticed the last number was 0. Years ago they used to say if you wanted to get rid of clover use a fertilizer with the last number 0 or close to it. The clover was taking over two large areas of my lawn last year. This year I used the milorganite you suggested and no more clover.
