- Spring has Sprung! And its Time To Improve Your Lawn!
In this video, we will show you 3 tricks to instantly make your lawn look better.
The first way is to have sharp trimmed lawn edges. The great thing about edging your lawn is no matter how bad a condition its in, a fresh lawn edge is sure to make it look much better. And on the flip side, if your lawn is already in good condition, without a nice clean edge it won’t look all that great overall. If you don’t take the time to edge, the strip of grass lining your walkways and driveways will look sloppy and grown out. But there’s good news! If you want a perfectly manicured lawn that looks better then all the rest, you just need to edge it with a dedicated lawn edger.
The second way is having fresh colorful mulch beds. Once of the best ways to make your lawn pop is having a sharp contrast in color between your lush green grass and deep colored mulch. The days of buying a lugging around bags of mulch are OVER. A coat of mulch dye will be all you need to achieve beautiful sharp contrast of color between your lawn and mulch beds. Mulch dye is one of the easiest and timesaving ways to instantly improve the look of your lawn.
The last trick is to adding liquid fertilizer to your fertilizing regimen. Liquid fertilizer applications provide instant nutrients to your lawn vs granular fertilizer can take extended periods of time to work. Liquid fertilizers are more readily available to the grass and reach grasses roots faster and in my opinion one of the greatest benefits is being able to supplement the grass by foliar feeding which is even faster method of feeding the grass leading to greening effects in less than a day.
Liquid fertilizers also ensure a consistent application of nutrients compared to the uneven spreading patterns of granular fertilizer.

Great video my Man, nothing but truth spoken. You have a way of speaking that is clear, yet charismatic.
Thanks ousama, appreciate it brotha!
Great Video. I think my additional curb appeal comes from flowers and contrast, much like your black beds. Just something about red or orange that really POPS from the green to set you up one above the neighbors on curb appeal.
You know thats one thing i have to upgrade, my 3 little perennial flowers aint cuttin it.
thanks for the recommendation
Really like the way you shout out others and always seem real. Great info in this video
I appreciate that! I will never forget the creators that were good to me when i was just a little shrimp on the scene 😀
My man hitting all the key points! One thing I like to do extra to help the lawn pop is power wash the sidewalks. It's all about that total curb appeal.
Chyea!
Hello from El Paso tax, I agree edging the lawn makes it stand out. Thanks for all your tips.
You bet!
thanks for sharing!
Yes! Great advice with the mulch dye. I started using it this year and it saved my back from moving bags of mulch!
Love that stuff!
Does it just paint the top of the mulch? What happens if it gets more around after it gets painted?
Mulch Dye and Dyed Mulch is the worst thing you can do to your lawn. You are poisoning your yard with the chemicals they use to make it. Compost or Natural Native Hardwood mulch feeds your soil!
@@opietwoep1247 touch it up as needed, it will get moved around forsure but will still look much better than straight faded beds
@@PrincessCutLawnCare thanks
I love feeding my yard heavy in the fall with milo or an organic fertilizer high in nitrogen. I can definitely tell you it worked. This spring my lawn has came back thicker and has a dark green in it. While my neighbors yards who they pay someone probably hundreds too do their lawn is green but has alot of brown patchy spots. Feed your lawn people !!!
milo produces a deep green like no other
Hey George. One thing that I’m doing this year is going over my lawn TWICE each time that I mow. This makes my lawn stripes more pronounced and I have already gotten several compliments this spring!
Sweet! burn in those stripes n showem whos boss
Hey George, I know I missed out on the giveaway, but I'll tell you what I like to do. I live in a Townhouse area where the HOA mows all of the lawns. But their timing between cuts is not ideal for a good looking lawn. So I mow the lawn myself weekly. My nice, clean cut lawn looks way better than my neighbors who wait for a mowing crew to come by. Sometimes one simple effect can make a big difference.
Great advice! I pile on much year after year and because of this video I'm going to try your dye idea. You are very right regarding the edges! The one thing I do is edge my lawn with every mow to make it stand out. I have a corner property with sidewalks, so it really pops as you walk by. Thanks for a great video
Great video again George. Keep them coming. One thing I like to do is cut with diy lawn striping attachment (pvc pipe filled with sand).
nice! speaking of striping kits, i need a new one for my new mower, i should make one like yours
Hey George welcome back. I missed your other video will have to go back and check it out. Have a great growing season
Thanks boss! unfourttagnantly we had snow on the ground this morning haha
@@PrincessCutLawnCare well at least I’m not alone. Man I’m ready
Lol. That part with Ron and the snoop song was epic.
Hi George, what I like to do to make my lawn pop is use contrasting colors in the beds. I edge them with white pavers and use red mulch in the bed. The contrast from green to white to red is amazing. Lenny G
Good job Lenny! all about those contrasting colors!
I've had neighbor's stop and ask what I did to my lawn when all I did was just edge. Well worth the effort.
Now I want to try your "mulch stain" trick. Thanks for the suggestion!
Crispy edges with freshly dyed mulch will take it to a whole new level!
your gonna ever more neighbors stopping haha
Hey George, one thing I do to stand out is last season I killed off my side yard/front and put in really good perennial rye and bluegrass. Everyone has tall fescue from the home builders so that made a huge difference. But anytime I mow on the property line, I make sure to stripe towards the street so it’s EXTRA dark compared to the neighbor when someone comes into The cul-de-sac
THIS! you know whats up! anyone reading this, listen to this man, always strip towards the street when mowing your property line.
Thanks for sharing boss!
George another great video. I like to add iron to my lawn to get it to stand out quickly.
Thanks John! What’s your iron of choice?
@@PrincessCutLawnCare I’ve had good success with Pennington Ironite.
Hey George. One thing I've been trying to do to stand out is pay attention to my striping patterns, contrasting them from what my neighbors are doing. Most of my neighbors do standard vertical or horizontal, so doing a double cut or other pattern path to create a unique design has really helped make it stand out.
Wow that is an excellent idea i never thought of! love it! im gonna have to try out your tactics:)
I still don't know how to stripe... sigh
@@seanheath711 Ryan Knorr has some good tips on his channel for getting started.
I strip my yard at a 45 degree angle then next cut I turn 45 more degrees you end up with diamond pattern in your lawn. Let your neighbors top that!
now thats what im talkin about!
Great channel and info. I agree Ron is a dedicated man lol
Thanks shane! really appreciate it, ive seen you around, nice to formally meet you
Im just rehabbing and working on my skills but around here staying ahead of the weeds and edging/trimming makes a difference. You can tell when someone cares about the lawn or just happens to have decent color. Great stuff, learning more.
Thanks mark
One thing I do to make my lawn stand out is failing to control weed properly. (I pull dandilions out tho)
So my lawn stand out as it looks like garbage, but all my neighbours feel better about their.
I think it's my most positive contribution to the world.
haha oh jeez, your one of those neighbors huh?? 😂
@@PrincessCutLawnCare I tried really hard last year, but the summer started with Grubs (which I got treated), and also I cut the lawn way too short before the furst snowfall prior so the lawn was basically dead and hard a real hard time coming back.
That being said, I did a lot of work (detatched, overseeded, fertilized), but for some reason the front got aweful and filled with weird weeds. Probably because the grass was in such a bad shape from my poor decision of cutting it too short too late before winter.
So around mid summer I call it quit and just mowed it.
This year I called in the pros, try to give me a reset if you will..
The backyard is fine for some reason. But yeah, I make my neighbours proud... of themselves
@@fmaz1952 haha at least some one is proud! lol just kidding
you got this boss, simple fact your here... im confident it will be the best in no time
Good content as always. I actually never even thought about dying my own mulch.
One thing I do, and it's not exactly lawn care, is power washing my sidewalk and driveway. Just the brighter color of my concrete gives everything a little more pop vs having a dingy and grimy sidewalk.
This is one of the best comments so far, it all ties back into having those sharp contrasts of color and I concur, having fresh white concrete can do wonders to make your lawn POP.
Great job boss!
Great tips. Loving your videos
Thanks so much my friend!
Great video George. The mulch dye is a great idea and came out great. I tried something different last year to make my property stand out in the neighborhood. I tore up the lawn and heads are turning lol .
LOL oh jeez, lawn care nuts and them always killing and removing thier lawns 😂
❤️ ur video’s more than all the rest
Just a regular guy
I love it !
Thanx George 👍🏻
Thanks dave, that really means a alot 😊
appreciate you!
Awesome content George thank you! My domination consists of extra fertilizer on the property line, and making sure the dark stripe is right next to the line, and maybe even a couple of extra passes to pick up the straglers. Looking forward to another year of quality content from Princess Cut!
Thanks Jaime! really appreciate it!
oh and smart move! always nice to sprinkle a lil extra fert on the domination line haha
Amazing content George.. I’ve been watching you since the beginning when I was in Illinois too. I’m going to buy some mulch dye and liquid fertilizer today!!!!
Appreciate that boss!
you left il? im jealous! haha cant wait to get out of here 😂
@@PrincessCutLawnCare Ha!! Man, you’re quickly rising in the Lawn Care world, you can make it anywhere!!! If you head South, you’ll be in the Bermuda, St Augustine or Centipede grass game. Not as fun as the Midwests Tall Fescue, Kentucky or Rye. I’m in Missouri now.
Great tips as usual George. Looking forward to your next vid pal. Doing my edging is the key difference that I use to separate my property from all my neighbors. Have to admit tho, since I've been doing it faithfully, more & more of them have started to do theirs. This is nice because it enhances the appearance of the neighborhood but not so nice because now I have to come up with a new way to stand out. hahaha
Haha they trying to keep up with the jones 😂
Thanks for the tips! Gonna have to try mulch dye this year for sure. For a couple years I have been raking out all the old and replacing with new.
I’m just starting on my grass cultivating journey, but something I have found with all my hobbies, is keeping all of the equipment organized and clean makes a huge difference in how quickly I can get something done. The care we take with our tools often translates directly into how well we use them!
haha funny you mentioned that! not only am i ocd about the lawn but im ocd about my tools as well, im sure your the same way haha
@@PrincessCutLawnCare yep! And Go Cubs!!!
I like to double-cut the lawn every time I mow. Mow in one direction, then the second cut is 45 degrees off from the first cut. Makes for some very nice diamond stripes and really stands out from all the neighbors.
Coming to you live from Madison, AL. I think the flower/oriental beds is key in making a lawn pop. The most important thing to making a lawn look fantastic is grass cutting at the proper height for your lawn.
One of the most important things I do for my lawn is cutting the lawn more frequently (unless it is during a stressful period like hot summer days for cool season grass) and also making sure the mower blades are sharp.
Excellent advice my friend! mow mow mow
Another fine video from Princess Cuts! Keeping my lawn edged and my sidewalks power washed helps my lawn stand out in the neighborhood.
Keeping my Bermuda grass as short as I can. Trying to mow every couple days sets my yard apart for the neighbors. This is going to be my second year in the house. Just about to mow for first time this year! Think I’ll try that mulch dye this year.
Love it George ! I’m with ya buddy, nothing better than crisp, clean edges with black mulch and a deep green lawn. Good stuff man. Nicely done.
Hi Scott! good to see you my friend 😀
Hows your season coming along??
@@PrincessCutLawnCare struggling out back this year. Had a bad grub issue last year andddddd a new puppy. Bad combo 😀
oh boy, makes for a good excuse to stay in the lawn haha
Great tips George. That mulch dye is something I would like to try. Every few years when the mulch beds just become too much / high ; I end up removing most of the mulch before putting new mulch and this year is time for that again , which is a pain of a job.
In terms of new methods to take the lawn to the next level for me has been adding more carbon and soil amendments in general. Ironically from Mirimichi Green ; I often use CarbonPro-G since it is quicker and easier to get at my local SiteOne. But i use Essential-G from them as well. Shout out to Ron who pointed me to those. I noticed a huge difference since using them in terms of dealing with summer stresses up here in NJ and this year I was by far the earliest to green up out of winter dormancy on my street.
Maybe we can change your mulch situation for you:)
Glad to hear you like the mirimichi green products! this is the first time were using them so i look forward to it!
appreciate you sharing!
@@PrincessCutLawnCare that dye would definitely come in handy to delay having to put new mulch or even worse removing most of the old mulch before putting it down. And i love Mirimichi Green products , Ron Henry definitely pointed them out to me and I have had great results with them. CarbonPro-G , Essential-G , Nutri-kelp and Release ZERO , i believe are the ones I have used so far with great results and look forward to trying more. I highly recommend trying CarbonPro-G (not sure if you have yet) as it is not super expensive , unless your lawn is massive, and so quick and easy to get at most SiteOnes.
Thanks for the recommendation, its next on my list!
You are the first lawn care TH-camr I started to follow, I appreciate the content! I’m in my second year of owning and caring for my lawn and the main thing I keep up with as I better my lawn care game is to cut my lawn regularly with mulching blades on my Cub Cadet.
I appreciate you brotha! gotta love those mulch blades, honestly i wouldn't even mulch if i just had a single cut regular blade, glad to hear the cub cadet is working out for you
Great video George! I've never used an edger, I've gotten good at free handing edges with a string trimmer. I personally like to dethatch my lawn in the spring, it looks soooo good after I dethatch
Thanks andy, i was never able to perfect the edging with a trimmer, you got some talent!
I finally went to a battery line trimmer. NO more gas anything.
I like to get on my hands and knees to trim my edges around my flower beds and trees with some sharp landscape scissors to give it that perfect sharp cut.
Lots of good info on your channel!
Thanks George!
no problem bud!
nothing beats edging with some lawn shears, and if you want to go the extra mile.. cutting the edge with a hori hori knife rather than a manual edger
Great video George. I use 7-0-0 GreeneEffect to make my lawn stand out. It works great. I really need to up my game though and try the mulch dye and get stick edger. 👊🏼
Hey George. One thing I do is try to stay ahead of the weeds and dogs. where I
Iive, nothing that is approved seems to works on weeds. So I weed by hand. I’ve been doing it this way for a few years now and it seems to be working as my lawn is mostly weed free. I’m taking your advice and going to start trying to level my lawn. Love your videos. Thankyou for making them
Awesome! the best defense against weeds is a thick healthy lawn, sounds like your doing a great job, keep it up!
Same here. I invested in the fiskars weed puller last year & love it! Saves me from the constant bending down or squatting. Cheers.
You like that fiskars tool? is it like the grampa week puller?
The easiest thing is just keeping it cut because both my neighbors let theirs over grow all the time. Also in the fall making sure the leaves are removed is a huge difference.
Funny you mentioned that, seems like I’m the only one on my block who cleans the leaves in fall haha
One of the best things I do for my lawn is re-edge all of my mulch beds. It gives the yard an extra layer of depth, and many of my family members often ask how me to give them a their lawn crisp edges and a fresh cut.
Awesome! Your a good family member for helping them out
the drift while spraying @5:12 was rough bro lol
haha for real
Yup, nothing is more satisfying than running a stick edger on a messy edge for that instant WOW factor 😎
extra crispy
I like to make my lawn stand out by cutting every couple days with my push real lawnmower
Nice! I bet you it looks awesome
Wut up G…. I also like the way the black mulch makes the grass POP….so….uh…let me get that dye…lol
chillen chillen, maybe we can make that happen
Hey George im just getting started with lawn care and I've been going down some deep rabbit holes on TH-cam , but you my friend are by far my favorite , your videos are easy to follow and makes me feel like I can do it all. Thank you Kid
Thanks Dan! really appreciate the thoughtful comment 😀
Happy to hear about your new found hobby in lawn care, your gonna love the results you will have
@@PrincessCutLawnCare Hey George can i use Miracle gro garden soil for leveling ? its on sale at home depot
@@dannybarros123 are you planning on reel mowing?
@@PrincessCutLawnCare no sir. That's next level stuff
@@dannybarros123 haha you can use it but just be prepared to clean it because it has a lot of sticks and debris in it, I would also add sand to the mix
It’s all about a healthy green lawn with nice edges and stripe pattern!! That’s why my lawns sticks out from the rest haha
oh yeah! i bet you have the best lawn on the block too!
I love edging as a simple way to differentiate my lawn to neighbours and just clean it up even when other parts are struggling.
awesome! sometimes a good clean up is all it takes!
thanks for sharing colm 😀
I used to have the greenest lawn on the block, but now I just have the most consistent Bermuda lawn during the growing season because I have hand-pulled every annual or perennial weed that chemicals won’t affect such as dallisgrass. I’m not green in February like those who have rye and dandelions but it’s all grass. Love the channel. New here and just subscribed. Thanks!
Awesome! what do you use to pull your weeds? do you have a special tool?
also thank you very much for the sub:))
Love patience and being in the moment when being in the garden
im sending good vibes your way 💚
Sir.
I just moved into a neighborhood where grass is an Olympic sport. I got my respect by concentrating on the fundamentals. Watering 1 inch of water a week. Cutting 2 to 3 times a week. And fertilizering when I'm supposed to. I watch your videos and they have helped me stay ahead of the curb. And I need all the help that I can get. I live in the neighborhood in Detroit where all the motown people lived. And people from all over are always taking pictures.
hopefully they are taking picture of your lawn and no one elses haha
Keep up the good work brother! Easy to follow without the fluff. Did what you said all the way from core aeration to leveling on a backyard destroyed by dogs over the past year. Pretty much a new lawn other than the 10% that was hanging on. It's been 9 days and the rye is coming through about 2" tall already! Used the right tools and it made it so much easier especially for my first time ever doing more than just mowing. Compost spreader, lawn leveler, sun joe scarifier and now I think I have to start a lawn care company to pay for the tools but I couldn't be happier with the progress. Thanks again for simplifying the craziness that is lawn care!
Thank you my friend!
Happy to hear your project is going well! theres no better feeling than seeing those baby grass seeds spout:)
I'm in the 60632 (hood). I've been working on my lawn for the last 3 years. I've been preping it in the spring and fall. still needs work but I'm happy with it.
sup neighbor! i used to work not too far from there on archer n austin
Thanks for mulch dye tip, ordered today and will be saving my back also, your lawn looks amazing. You are the man!
thanks boss! we havent even had our first mow yet, cant wait to it really starts poppin
Hey George, love the channel! I have watched many of them and find that your channel is the easiest to follow for the new guy. Keep the great work!
Made the switch to spraying for my Applications what a game changer. Have a big lawn so added a striping kit to my zero turn. Think it’s going to work out well! Got lots of great ideas from your channel i plan to use this summer. Keep up the great work friend!
Hi matt! so happy to hear:)
whats your favorite liquid fertilizers??
@@PrincessCutLawnCare I have used a few products from simple lawn solutions. But I will be trying the one from your video
@@matthewbranco8974 nice love the simple lawn solution 16-4-8
@@PrincessCutLawnCare you make it look easy my friend! Hopefully I’ll be good someday. Ever thought about making a lawn guide?
maybe one day, im still a small fish in a big sea but well see what the future holds:)
I sweep my front curb regularly to clean up all the dirt and stones kicked up from cars driving past. Gives it a beautiful white pop that stands out on the street alongside keeping a nice edge up top.
thats a great idea! having nice clean white concrete really makes the lawn pop!
I know the give away is over but I just came across this video. I like to add iron to deepen the green in my lawn.
What do you guys think about pay more for rubber mulch and forget about color fading fast? Never used but thinking about.
you know... thats a good question, i too am interested in peoples experience with it
Great tips. 👍 I like edge my lawn every time I mow to keep it looking sharp.
One thing I do is run stripes in the yard with my allett on Tiftuf Bermuda. But you’re right an edged lawn is what seals the deal. Thank you for the video
No problem justin, the allet throws down some amazing stipes! what type do you have? imm debating whether i should upgrade my kensington to the new battery version but im not 100 percent sold yet
@@PrincessCutLawnCare I have the liberty 43. Which I love but I’d like the newest battery one if I could purchase a new one.
Still working on getting a good lawn. Really like the videos. One trick I’ve been using is to have different kinds of grass in sunny vs shady areas
thank you so much my friend! dialing in those seeds in sun vs shade can make a huge difference, good job!
Iron is my go-to for making my lawn stand out! Nothing like that deep green.
forsure! whats your iron of choice??
Hey George! Thanks or sharing your yard's journey. My yard stands out in my neighborhood by adding a weight roller on the back of my mower since I don't own a reel mower. Cutting straight lines and switching directions each time as well as different patterns each time I mow (doubles, single-double-single, etc.) You got to keep 'em guessing what pattern will come next! Also making a clean-up loop on the outside edge for the last pass. You are absolutely right to edge your yard where it meets the concrete line. I do it every time I mow, it looks so much sharper and it helps cut down how often I weedeat in those areas. I appreciate your content and good luck with your yard adventures!
haha thank you so much scott! i like how you change up your patterns, many just stick to the same ol stripes.
great tip!
It's healthier for the grass switching directions and makes an even tighter cut (very few stragglers sticking up that may have been missed during the last mow). A lot of times the wheel marks will make ruts with a traditional mower if you mow the same way every time. Looking forward to your next contents! 🍻
Thanks scott! see you around!
I guess I need a tutorial on different mowing patterns
I usually like to dethatch my yard twice a year (spring/fall) and the tenacity/speed zone mix is a hands down winner!
Bro you a life savor thanks for everything I love adding stones to the edge of my grass to give it that “ can’t touch feel “ lol
no problem bro! those stones sound sick
Like you, I edge, usually every 2 weeks.
And I keep my lawn longer than my neighbors, between 3 1/2 to 3 3/4 inches. This is to shade the crown and roots during the heat of summer and it helps crowd out weeds. Only recently have I added foliar application of iron, but it works.
I enjoyed the video. One trick that I do is to edge the lawn with a stick edger and then turf edge with a string trimmer to get a clean transition from the lawn to the edge.
Great tips! I love to stripe my lawn. Adding strips to my lawn gives it that nice sport field look. It just stands out from all other neighbors lawns.
hey george! new here and just bought a new house so ill be taking this whole video and applying it to my new lawn. i have some strong competition in my neighborhood and I hope to be up with the big boys around here next spring! Thank you for all the great tips!
Hey chris! congrats on the new house my friend!
I enjoy spreading bonemeal to my garden beds and gypsum to my grass. Both provides a healthier soil bed which provides healthier plants
In addition to feeding it… But you provided a new way so I will try this. Thank you!
Eb from RI
No problem Eb! thanks for sharing your tips!
Nice topic! I recently purchased a new home and my first season i took things slow. I wanted to see what obstacles the new area had. Right off the bat i decided to have the downspouts ran in ground with pvc for a cleaner look. Once this was done i focused on the lawn. Fall reno season 2. Dethatch, aerate and seeding. Spring 2022 there's a huge difference. I decided to go with black beauty ultra for a dark green color. This alone makes our lawn stand out on the block. Another thing we have done this spring were live edges similar to yours. Man it's so crisp! Bkack mulch in the beds with Colorado river rock separating the edges from Mulch. It really makes it pop!
Congrats on the new home!
Sounds like you are miles ahead of us when we bought our first home haha
I know that black beauty is some really DARK grass 😃
@@PrincessCutLawnCare oh man yeah definitely not our first home. Learned a lot from the first. Thanks for the reply. Great content keep it up!
Appreciate that boss! see ya around!
The mulch dye was such a dramatic change really made the landscape pop
It’s awesome, anytime your beds are faded, it’s easy to just go touch em up
Love running stripes and also laying down some tight edges
To get my lawn have a deep green & shiny look I use ferrous sulphate. I will put a dusting down after the lawn greens right up in the spring then I will add a few cups into my 18-18-18 granular fertilizer each application. It works very well. I do like your idea of applying a liquid fertilizer, I will try that this year and I will use your advise from a previous video about lawn leveling. Cheers! Darren
Nice! You spread the ferrous sulfate dry?
@@PrincessCutLawnCare Yes, then fire up the lawn sprinklers for a bit after.
I love mowing 2 times a week and making my edges nice and crisp no one else in my neighborhood does it so it really looks good over here!!
My neighbors make fun of me mowing twice a week. My neighbors are tough rebels.
George, I put a second blade on my edger. It makes that edge POP. I also cut my fescue high at 3 3/4", so it has that shag carpet full look, which also helps choke out the weeds.
oh yes, love those deep edges fresh blades produce, you know whats up!
I don’t have a lot of lawn on the front of my home but just like you, I edge my space, mowed, fertilizer, and flower bed has to stand out!- now for my back yard I’m starting over because lawn had to be removed for some sewerage issues so now it’s a blank canvas!
We may not have the biggest front yards but darn it, we will make em the best!
Hey George nice segment,but I’m trying to with my lawn is covering my bear spots.
Thank you ser! Did you seed them yet?
I like mowing two to three times a week in spring and early summer. I see a difference in the health, keeping in mind of the 1/3 rule which before I assumed was not for the average home owner. In feel my lawn is not only thicker but helps the fight of fungus and stress in late summer when I change to mowing one to two times a week to 10 days. Allowing for little to no traffic when the temps and drought are at high levels. One more thing that helped me from last year is a soil test which showed low levels of PH, We worked on that over late summer and fall and I see a hugh diffrence in the uptake of fert as well the macro’s. Thanks for the content…
wow scott sounds like you are on top of it!
i have no doubt you have the best lawn on your block:)
One thing I like to do is between mows, rake my lawn with the Groundskeeper II rake. It really does a great job of keeping the thatch way down. I also plan to integrate mulch dye into my maintenance schedule. I had no idea there even was such a thing! Thanks for the heads up!! Thanks for another great tip.
Nice! i love that grounds keeper rake as well! oh btw you will love the mulch dye, total game changer!
Edging and the single double stripe are probably my favorites to get the POP going!
Chyea! love the single doubles my friend!
George, love your videos! I couldn't agree more on all your tips. I definitely agree adding a fresh cut edge to my lawn is what makes it stand out from the rest of my neighbors. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Dad! Appreciate you!
Thanks George. I love to use my rorotiller to turn over the soil in my flower beds to make the property pop.
No problem mr H!, do you add a top dressing to those beds?? im trying to up my flower game
@@PrincessCutLawnCare Not sir. I add lots of nutrients all year round. For example, we eat a lot of bananas. I cut the peels up into small pieces and throw into the garden. I do the same with cucumber peels, carrot peels and other veggies. I try not to waste these valuable nutrients! Appreciate all your videos George!
Good morning G! 2 of my favorite things that make my lawn pop the most mowing regularly and I love adding little Iron to my liquid fertilizer with micro nutrients for that extra dark blue/green look that makes me stand out.
good morning bro! what type of iron do you like to use???
@@PrincessCutLawnCare bought this at Walmart Brand is Sunniland liquid iron. It was a multi use iron for shrubs, trees and grass. it’s up for like $9 for a gallon thought. Try to do everything on a budget.
nice! sunniland is a good well known company! im gonna have to try it out!
Hi George. Love your videos, you always present them with a "your favorite teacher" vibe. One thing I like to do with my lawn to make it stand out is to overseed as often as I can, so in the spring when dormant season ends, everything really starts to come in thicccc.
haha funny you mentioned that, i used to teach econ & success to 7th graders, good eye!
I’m actually just about to start my very first lawn! New house, just a dirt backyard so I’m starting with a lawn and a center brick eating are, came across your videos and loving the advice! So I don’t really a “here’s a tip for what I do with my lawn” since I don’t have one yet! Looking forward to continuing to learn as I get my lawn started
congrats on the new home!
@@PrincessCutLawnCare thank you!!
Love this video ! Thanks for the tips especially on the mulch dye ! I cut then line up my lawn weekly to make it pop ! I've gotten alot of thumbs up from my neighbors but I'm a perfectionist . I need to level it & now that I know I can buy mulch dye it's goin to be a game changer ! Thanks George you the man 🙌🏼
Thanks jeff! you the man too!
when do you plan on doing your leveling project? that is gonna up your lawn game so much haha
@@PrincessCutLawnCare well out here in Cali we're expecting rain . So maybe next week when it's dry ? What's your advice.
You want to to be bone dry, both the lawn and your materials all while your grass is fully growing
@@PrincessCutLawnCare can you check out the pictures I sent you on your Instagram please 🙏🏼 thanks George
no problem boss, whats your ig handle? i get so many messages it can be overwhelming sorry if i dont reply to all of them!
Great tips! That Toro 60V edger is very nice, I love mine. Nice crisp edges make the lawn look much better
these battery tools keep getting better and better
Like you showed I too think it’s huge to edge. I have over 300’ of edging and it really stands out
300 feet of crispy straight lines... i bet that looks AWESOME
I'm a huge grass geek when it comes to my long and like you said I'm a sucker for the fresh black mulch with dark green grass look I do a lot to my yard to keep it looking perfect such as cutting twice-a-week at 2½ inches in height keeping perfect edges with an actual edger and following with a string trimmer and using Liquid Fertilizer... as a bonus to my yard that other people don't do it as often is I use liquid iron every 25 days on my Bermuda lawn to boost that insane green
nice! whats your iron of choice?
If I want my lawn to really stand out, I run my tow behind leaf sweeper over after cutting. Really makes some awesome stripes!!!
Sounds great! thanks for sharing
I always love the way my lawn looks when I edge it. But you definitely have to complete it by cleaning up everything you just spread all over the concrete.
Great stuff, using a reel mower has taken my lawn to the next level
Awesome! What reel mower are you using??
Hey George, I like to slope the edges by removing soil or old mulch with a flat shovel. It keeps the mulch from mounding. Clean lines and a smooth transition make it stand out. Thanks for the posts and positivity
i bet you have the crispiest lines on the block!
Proper moving, and edging makes my lawn pop. I also use my green county stripper works wonders
nice! i already know you have the nicest lawn on the block!
Enjoyed the video! So true about edging, and a fixed blade like that makes a huge difference vs trying to do it with a string trimmer.
haha yes sir, i remember being naive enough to think i could do it w a string trimmer 😂
Great stuff George! After 2 years of adding mulch (and correcting where it would wash away during heavy rain) I’ll be using that same mulch dye this spring to freshen the beds up. I also keep a clean edge on the sidewalks and driveway, and I’ll be cleaning up my natural edges in the flower beds again this spring. Really adds an eye catching definition I think. My final step is the occasional shot of liquid iron, especially along the property line when I feel I need a little extra umph! Had great success with the Green Effect as well as Justin’s 12-0-0 Midnight he released last year.
