That soil conditioner has given me hope. Can't wait to try it next year
Best video I have seen on Centipede! Next year that grass will be even better! Beautiful job and very informative.
Lawn came out looking good

I knew what to do!!? Just needed reassurance!!! Thanks for posting!!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽✌🏽
Nice yard and nice piece of property!

Such a helpful upload, thank you
Awesome work Man❗️
Looks Great !
Great job!
My yard looks EXACTLY like the BEFORE not the after.. I have a new build. I've been frustrated here in Virginia wit this soil. Bro you gave me HOPE!!! Awesome job. 🙌 🧡
Haha Good luck!! I hope it works for you
Great job!!!!!!!!
Thank you for this video! I've been struggling with my centipede lawn for a couple of years. I know it's later than you started but I put down SoftCal yesterday and just aerated today. Tomorrow I'm throw the seed down and starting the watering. I'm hoping for the same results! I appreciate you taking the time to do this video!
How did it turn out?
@@justingillentine2015 I have germinated seedling coming up in my bare spots. We've had a few big rains temps in the middle 90s though so I'm not sure where they're all going to come up!
Great Job!
Really enjoyed your video on Centipede. I have a 3 acre yard with Centipede I love Centipede. I live on the river here in South Mississippi and believe it or not Centipede grows naturally in our sandy soil. I've had to learn the hard way on proper care of Centipede. Don't over fertilize and keep cut low as you pointed out. Using pre-emergence (Prodiamine) is the key to keeping the weeds Grab-grass especially out, Please do a follow-up video this year. I would like to see all the spots filled in. Great job my friend!!
Would you put down prodiamine after aeration along with over-seeding? (After removing dead/leafs & conditioning soil)=
Great job, looks good. Few questions, what kind, was the little bit of grass that was there when you started ? What did/do you do for weed control ? How much did/ do you water the centipede seeds/grass ? And how many bags of seed did you use ?
I just ran into your video and it does give me hope for my backyard, especially living in the south with hard clay soil. Just curious, I know this particular grass depends on a lot if sun. With the steps you provided, will the Centipede still grow under shady areas?
Looks good! You almost have to live in the south to understand. Tall fescue doesn’t work out well in the summer. My backyard is turning into centipede thankfully.
when you almost put that soil plug back into the hole lol
Looks great! Thanks for the instructional video. Just one question. I saw the sprinkler head stand in the video. Is that the only way your watering the yard?
Yep! I kept 3 going and just moved them around the yard
Lawn looking good. You sound like you're from southeast Georgia.
Great video. Thanks for all the helpful info. Did you use soil conditioner same time as you put seed out or did you wait a few days? Thanks
Waited a couple days!
@@PatriotDIY thanks
Nice Video! I am interested in aertion and seeding for my yard. How can I be sure the contractor why buys the grass seeds match the color of what I have now and what do you think is a fair price for aeration/sedding for 10,000 sf lot?
Quick tip
Research “bulk lawn seed” on the internet in your area. You’ll be surprised how much seed you can buy for the same amount of money as the small big box store bags.
Watching this is giving me hope!!!
I live in the coastal Carolina region and unfortunately, my back yard in particular looks like your before. (entire property is centipede).
Quick question… how long did you wait to aerate and seed after conditioning the soil? I just finished watching and I don’t believe I heard you say how long, if at all, you waited. Thanks in advance.
Just a day or 2! I also timed it so it rained right after I put out the conditioner
@@PatriotDIY thank you! I’m going to try this.
How did the lawn hold up after the summer heat ?
Awesome video. Did/do you water the lawn after spreading the soil conditioner - before overseeding?
No but it did rain after
When did you plant?
Excellent video, it seems to have all the things I'm dealing with: rocky clay dirt, summer season, centipede grass, in the South. My lawn is probably 1/4 of yours so it shouldn't be too hard to do. But my lawn has a bunch of bumpy areas, doesn't feel good walking on it. Would it be ideal to level it out first before doing all this?
Thanks! The leveling is up to you. Maybe worth trying to lever it first if it bothers you. but shouldnt make much difference as far as the grass growing
Did you put any weed killer/fertilizer down before/during? thanks man looks great!
Thanks, no I didn't.
Great video. Once the overseeding is completed, does any additional soil need to added so to fill in the plugged aeration ?
No
10-10-10 April and July
How did you get rid of the weeds?
Great job with centipede, beautiful green yard! I could use some advice please…. I seeded my backyard with annual rye last year after removing all weeds. I’m about 30 miles North of New Orleans, it’s the end of March and the annual rye has grown in everywhere, I believe 🤞 the annual rye will die off when the higher temperatures come, can I seed with centipede before it dies off in mid to end of April? I do need to fill in my yard with dirt,l generally use river sand. Should I put sand down now and wait until end of April to seed? Any suggestions will be most appreciated. Thanks!
How long did it take?
Nice video! What setting did you put your spreader on for the seed spreading?
I don't remember but it was one of the smallest because I didn't wanna run out too soon so I made several passes until I was out
Is that the same as zoysia? Looks like fairway grass
Could I have some feedback on the following plan for an existing centipede yard in Coastal SC?: 1) Low cut 2) Soil conditioner 3) Aerate 4) Pre-emergent 4) Over-seed | all with a healthy does of watering of course. Appreciate all opinions if you have the time!
How did it turn out?
Same brother 💀 currently I’m planning on pre-emergent, drop the deck to 1in, plugging, overseeing, put sop down, water 2 times a day, and attempt to avoid the first cut for a couple weeks? I doubt I need soil conditioner but I may just bc I’m a newb
I found a reply saying he didn’t treat for weeds during his run
Apologies on the delay, @@justingillentine2015 apologies on the delay - Went well! Seed was slow and I kept the grass around 1.5" height throughout the summer (a little hotter here in Charleston ,SC). Will definitely repeat this for next year!
What time of year did you overseed? Thanks Looks good.
I probably should have watched the whole video. Nice work.
Spring!
I’m from Iowa, so I’m used to black soil. Does grass grow well in that light, sandy stuff?
Did you see the end of the video? Yes it does.
What brand is the soil conditioner? And I can’t find any straight up centipede seed. Can I use the centipede seed with mulch?
Yes
Add a liquid foliar fertilizer with a 40+% phosphorus to the lawn and really help the root growth. Most of the phosphorus that shows on the soil sample is not available to the plant.
Why did you use a hand spreader for the grass seed vs using the broadcast spreader for the gypsum?
So I could better control how much seed I was throwing
Did you top dress over the seeds? Or you just threw down and watered?
Just threw down and watered
and did you do any weed and feed or just soil conditioner?
No weed and feed
Do you have a sprinkler system for all that yard?
Just the one the lord provides!! 🌧
Any particular reason to use gypsum?
No, it's just what was available at my local store and it says it loosens and improves the quality of clay soil and that's what I have
I know it’s an older video but, the 1.5 month update mentions mid June, based on your hat you must be in NC. So did you do this late April early May ?
Yes
@@PatriotDIYawesome. Thank you for the quick response. I too am in central NC and got that compact clay!
where did you by the seed and fertilizer at?
Lowes
How often did you water? and how much?
Every day, as much as possible
Where did you buy your aerotor machine
Northern tool! Link in the description
Did you battle weeds during the grow in ?
The only thing I did was keep it cut low. That kept the weeds and other grass stunted while the centipede took over. May do a little weed and feed this year but for the most part keeping it cut at around 1.5" weekly did the trick
@@PatriotDIY how soon did you cut after seeding and how often did you cut after that?
Get a pull spreader , less exercise. But exercise is good
What was the process of watering it
Turn on some sprinklers and let'em rip every day all day. Just moved them around to a new spot until I had hit as much as I could. Then start over the next day and let God fill in the gaps with rain!
What I've done for years is let the sprinkler run for one hour on every section twice a week and that'll give you one inch of water for that week and that has ALWAYS worked for my St. Augustine grass and for most other grass for that matter. I live in Jacksonville Florida. I did the same thing at my parents house and I got the same results. One inch of water per week and watch that grass GROW. Scotts Bonus S Weed & Feed is a real good product to use. If I'm correct this is the best time of the year to use it. Satisfaction guaranteed if ya ask me. That stuff has NEVER failed me. Good luck buddy.
So use soil conditioner 1st and them aereate
That's what I did
Your dog alright?
Centipede does not prefer to be cut low, it prefers to be longer. I cut mine around 2 to 3 inches in height.
Sorry boss but you are wrong!!!! Try cutting between 1" and 2" for a while, your centipede with thrive.

Hi, your video content is very expressive, I would like to sponsor a smart sprinkler controller for your lawn, are you interested? Once connected to your home wifi, it can automatically adjust the frequency and amount of watering according to the weather and seasonal changes.
Why is your dog limping ?
that seed is very expensive. must have cost a small fortune for a plot that size.
Don't use gypsum on Centipede. It doesn't like it.
😂😅 you pulled an aerator and you whirled a whizz?!!
It grew that much in 3 months. Thats very shocking to me
I wasted all that money on topsoil
Centa-peeeds
Great job!
Thanks
