About to do spring seeding. Hoping for the best!
Just moved to the PNW excited to tackle a cool season lawn. Woohoo!
Ryan, Last year I was about to scrape off my old lawn and have sod laid down. Then I watched many of your videos and bought your manuals on overseeding. I followed everything exactly. I had the most amazing lawn I've ever had. One I always dreamed I wanted. I can't thank you enough for the encouragement and sound professional advice. A million times better than any other "experts" on the web. Will continue this year. Love PR!!
Awesome!
@@ryanknorrlawncare Have you ever considered putting up a place on your site where disciples of yours can post pictures of their "Ryan Knorr" success?
I will try to work on that!
Than Ryan for the great information always helpful 👍
You’re the man Ryan!!
Just did a full renovation on my 3,650 sqft lawn...holy cow that was a lot of work. Put down your PRG mix and excited to see how it turns out!
I just spent my weekend scalping, dethatching, top dressing and overseeing my 6000 sqft lawn. I have never been so exhausted in my life. Much more manual labor than I anticipated. Good luck to you and your lawn. Hope the hard work pays off!
Last year's renovation on 60k was a new exhaustion level for me haha
@@ryanknorrlawncare yea that sounds brutal!
You'll be thrilled
Great vid Ryan thanks!
Thanks Ryan!
Ive always power raked after aerating so it chews up the plugs and speads it nicely as a quasi-top dress. Also spreading some compost over an overseeded lawn produces great results.
With those walk behind aerators it's all about technique. I worked for a company using those for 2 months straight. First day I was dead, then once I learned the proper techniques of maneuvering and it wasn't much worse than just push mowing
I used that Scotts turf builder this spring with my overseeding and it's doing a great job. Dandelions and clover come up and turn white pretty fast. Crab grass seems to get through though.
re: your crabgrass: Quinclorac. Make sure your turf grass type is in the "highly tolerant" list (ex: PRG is highly tolerant; st. augestine is NOT). Two applications two weeks apart per the instructions and manufacturer rates should be enough to quell your crabgrass. I use a surfactant to make sure it 'sticks'. Do not mow 2 days prior to application. Do not irrigate for 24 hours after application. And, do not apply in hot temperatures (right now, most of the country need not worry about that).
Thank you for the great info❤❤❤
About to overseed 2 acres of perennial rye grass with a frontier 2058 overseeder. This after spraying roundup on some patches of field grass that has taken hold over the years and mottled my yard up.
looking good
Great info Ryan! Watched It with my coffee in hand, I would like to get out in the yard today, but there's also baseball and hockey.
I gotta say I am a little jealous of both your lawn and your weather.
Who’s your teams?? Also get out there even if it’s late in the day! Thank you have a nice day.
Would love to see a review on some of the cordless dethatchers out there. Makita just launched one on their 40V line. Hoping EGO eventually follows suit.
Pretty darn cool, man!
Can you tell me what is the minimum size you want for your plugs? I have a great guy that charges me next to nothing to aerate my yard, but his plugs are about one to inch and a half max. The machines I used to rent pulled plugs over 2 inches long. Does size matter here??
Nice shirt! Wish we got more content from The Rebel.
Hey Ryan, appreciate all the content! Question about mowing post over seeding - will you wait until the new grass gets to a certain height, or when do you make the call to resume mowing? Thanks!
I'm watching this closely to make sure it doesn't get too tall. I may get out and mow it before I see germination but after that you just have to tread lightly on those first few mows and it turns out fine as long as you're careful.
Great content as usual , I like that deflector you have on your spreader and was just wondering if that s something you can order by itself and if would that fit on a Earthway spreader ?
I'm not sure. I believe it came with mine when I got it but it is very similar to the earthway design to it may be possible
Huge Poa Annua problem in my lawn. My plan for fall '24 is: Level, aerate, over seed and Tenacity in late August/early Sept. and then Prodiamine as pre-emergent for the Poa, late Sept/early Oct. Thoughts on this? I did a preemergent of Prodiamine this Spring for Crabgrass, but I would still be under the annual limit. My concerns are with the newly growing grass which will be 5 ish weeks established at this point, and with the combination of Tenacity followed by Prodiamine. Thanks!
I’m glad you ain’t my neighbor. Holy smokes that lawn looks great!!
Hey Ryan,
I have a cool season lawn (kbg,ryegrass,fine fescue), is it possible to overseeed KBG/Rye mix or should I overseed TTTF/KBG? My lawn is thinner this spring. Full reno or overseed?
I have Bermuda in my backyard around 500 sq feet. It’s not doing as good as the first 2-3 years. I have about ~70 sq feet of one area that weeds took over and grass is pretty much non existent. Clovers starting to grow in patches in other areas. Should I over seed with Bermuda? Or is it possible to seed with another grass type?
I have quite a bit of Goats-Rue () weeds growingin my backyard. Would anyone know if it would be better to lay a type of fertilizer down or spot spray? Theres probably 30 of these things. Any info is appreciated.
What if your lawn has a lot of weeds also? How do I apply pre-emergent while overseeding?
I will never understand why it is so important that a person comment they were the 1st to post.
10th
@@jamesdaniels108811th
May as well comment, “No life!”
I also dont understand why people care about those 1st commenters.
Lol why does it matter. Let them do their thing and you do yours.
I have a great guy that aerates my yard for half what anyone else charges, but his plugs are only one to one and a half inches. The machine I used to rent pulled plugs much larger. Does size matter here?? Also, I think aeration is the best thing you can do to any yard. I’ve been doing it for over 30 years with incredible results. People are always stopping by and asking how much I fertilize and water and I tell them hardly at all. I also do the recommended things like cutting high when it’s warm and dry, mowing in different directions, keeping the blades sharp, etc.
3-4" if possible
Great video Ryan, is it fair to say that if you had a lawn that was thin in the spring that you would focus on overseeding instead of pre-emergent? This was a difficult decision for me. I went the pre emergent route but have 1.25 bags of the RK Elite Rye standing by….
Fall isn't far away (in the grand scheme of things) so you could plan for that and get some great results then
Really good info Ryan! Curious how effective the overseeing might be when you have a 100 percent KBG but want to start to convert to your ryegrass. Would this result in a patchy look or would it allow even coverage. Would the rye win out or would the Kbg dominate. Northern IL. Cheers!
Kbg will definitely still be there but if thin out the blue pretty aggressively you could make it more rye heavy. My old front lawn was actually never fully 100% removated so if you go back to some of those older videos you can see what I did. It was originally bluegrass sod.
Any ideas for Bermuda? SC here
any reason you wouldn’t actually pull up the weeds? does it leave uneven spots or??
Good stuff! I’m about to overseed and follow this to a T! I have some pretty bare spots. Do you have any suggestions for dog traffic? I have 2 beagles that spend a fair amount of time outside. Should I fence off most of the yard(3000 sqft), or will they not affect the baby seedlings too much? Thanks
I would definitely limit traffic during the grow in or the new seedlings could be damaged fairly easily
Hey Ryan, I've been binging your channel lately! Great content and production quality. Question: Just bought my first home WITH A YARD. Beyond pumped. It's about 1000 square feet, and I plan to reel mow. I take ownership last week of May, and I'm southeastern Ohio, so the cool season climate. Current owners have done a decent job at maintenance, but not great. Any tips for starting this late in the season, and surviving the summer? Thanks!
I'd just start learning as much as you can and know that fall is the best time for cool season so you can get a good amount of knowledge by then and dive in. I learn something new almost every day so it's a journey!
@@ryanknorrlawncare thank you!
Ryan, great content. I know you have several mowers but what are your thoughts on electric mowers for typical residential use. I need a new mower but am having a hard time convincing myself to go with electric and have the same power as gas. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks
The Milwaukee one that I have is one of the best push mowers I've ever used. I don't think you'll be disappointed
You mentioned that Rye grass is yoir favorite grass type. What are your top 3 cold weather grass seed and why? Zone 6a here. Thanks as always!

If you don't have a drag device, would it be better to aerate first and then power rake afterwards in effort to break up the cores? Does the order of operations make a difference in your experience?
That could work. Depending on the machine and your soil it might tear up the tines but I have used my other scarifier after aerating with some success. The drag was better for sure but it's an option.
Im thinking of doing this exact process for my fall reno. Can you share the details on the drag? I’m assuming tines up? Love yours or suggest another? Thanks.
Also I can’t believe your skill for running the drag in reverse. 😂
It's a harrow drag I got from Tractor Supply so pretty standard I would think and yes, tines up. It worked great.
What HOC do you think it will handle in the near future, .25" or try to take it lower?
😬
For an established/old lawn: would spraying humic acid prior to laying seed be beneficial?
Shouldn't make a big difference in establishing new seed
I just tilled my yard a few days ago. Im wanting to lay gras seed to grow a nice yard. My dirt looks nice and dark. But i have a question, do i NEED topsoil to grow grass? Or will the dirt i have be good enough? (West texas dirt) lol
Grass grows in many different soils but how well it survives is going to be the key. It always needs nitrogen and water so you start there but a soil test could also help to figure out if you need other nutrients to help. ryanknorrlawncare.com/product/rx-soil-nutrient-analysis-kit/
I want to overseed my cool season lawn this month but dethatch/scarify instead of aerate, what do you think?
You can but just make sure it's thinned out enough you can see down to the soil layer so the seed can reach it. A topdressing in that case would certainly help too
What do you think of the aerators you pull behind a tractor/mower?
Not many cores pulled from those so you would have to go over it a ton of times
Hey Ryan, I accidentally burned up some streaks in my lawn by using too much fertilizer in spots from fall of 2022. Last spring/summer, I had a hard time getting anything to grow when I overseeded in late April (other spots grew fine). Any recommendations?
Hmm sounds strange. I'd take some core samples in those areas to see if there's any weird stuff soil wise
@@ryanknorrlawncare Much appreciated, thanks for responding.
Have you commented on the pregerminating approach for grass?
Not necessary for ryegrass. I just had someone this week not sure on the process and ended up with a rotten bag of seed so tread carefully. I don't have the time to babysit it haha
Hey Ryan, I understand that due to your location cool season grasses are fairly dominant. But have you ever considered doing a small test plot/tee box/green of Bermuda? I’d love to know how well it performs in your area (I’m in AR so that’s what I have), and maybe a sprigging tutorial would be a cool video idea. Just a thought!
I seeded a Bermuda plot last season. It will be starting up here again soon as temps are warming
@@ryanknorrlawncare awesome! I guess I missed that video, I need to go back and watch it. I seeded 6k sqft with Bermuda and keep it reel mowed at 1/2”
@@stevenw973 very nice! We'll see how it looks after dormancy. Still very brown here
Blue and white is your color!
@ryanknorrlawncare we just bought a new house and the yard is very thin so I am going to do these steps to bring it back to life. However, we found out that where we live the water is extremely expensive. Is there a product I could use that would help with not having to water as often?
Check out SoakORR on my website
What should the temp be around to plant new seeds in a renovated lawn
Soil temps around 60
is there a reason to be concerned when doing a dethatched during the spring time?
Cool season grasses are coming out of a stressful time in winter so thinning them out too much or when things aren't even green yet can be tough to recover from before summer heat
@ryanknorrlawncare hey ryan live in pa early spring temps in 60s. Had my mower blade setting too low cut little short some areas little brownish tint. Should it be fine ro recover? Since cooler out and not too hot
I'm sure it will recover with time
@ryanknorrlawncare some spots still look a little low. Then again it's been 4 days. Can I toss some seed in those areas?
@@ryanknorrlawncare sorry I just worry a lot and I have a nice lawn so hoping I diddnoy fuck it up ha
Do you prefer/recommend liquid or granular pre-emergent?
Liquid is probably the most consistent barrier if you spray correctly. I still use granular sometimes when I need to get something down quick
Always good info! I thinned out my lawn a little too much last fall and need to top dress and over seed this year. I also have a lot of clay out here in Northwest Oregon. Aeration might be a good idea.
Have you heard of Fireball grass seed?
Ryan put down seed, it's sure to start raining now.
Hope you hear a new podcast soon with RD.
Just rained today for the first time in forever haha
What gauge extension cord do you use with your dethatcher?
I believe mine is 14
Everyone talks about cool season grasse and warm season grasses but what about us guys in the middle/transition zone. I’m in lower North Carolina for example. I know nothing about lawn care so I watch videos to learn but everyone seems to treat lawn care as either living in Michigan or in Florida. What should I do in NC? I’m not looking for a perfect contest worth lawn. I just want it to be nice to look at. It’s pretty much all clover and crabgrass at the moment.
Transition zone means you pick either cool season or warm season grass but neither works perfectly. There is no "transition zone" grass type so that's why no one talks about that because it's same grasses we have up north or south depending on what you choose. Most in NC have fescue and overseed in fall if summer damage occurs from heat.
@@ryanknorrlawncare thank you for the actual useful information. That helps a lot
Hey, I just did any overseed and completely forgot to put down tenacity. Is it too late? It’s been only 40ish hours since laying down the seed. Can I spray it down now? Or should I wait?
As long as the new seed hasn't germinated yet, you can
@@ryanknorrlawncare ok thanks for the reply, I think I’ll just wait. When would be a good time to spray it on if the grass has already germinated? 8 weeks ish?
I planted some of your magical Rye on Friday. How we see if I can keep it alive in summer🤣
Pray that it actually rains every once in a while!
@@ryanknorrlawncare and that we don’t have 70+ days over 90🤣
@@jfarm_1311 yeah..that too 😀
Starter fert works best after the seed has germinated. Most of the the nitrogen will be gone before the seed pops
Usually I wait a few days before applying but we have possible storms coming so I wanted to be able to get it down before it gets too wet to be out there.
Does Lawn Rebel have a Knorr shirt?
He does
If you are on a limited budget, can you overseed a patchy yard with poor soil without aerating and putting new soil over it?
You can but the results aren't likely to be as good for you
@@ryanknorrlawncare thanks!
You can get soil at lowes or rural king for about 2 bucks a bag n spread it out a lot, better than nothing! 😊
@@lizzycarman601 a lot of those cheaper soils have a ton of rocks and big mulch chunks in them. I’d have to screen it myself, and I’d need a lot of bags for 6,000 square feet.
@@Piccolo_Re I use them all the time and never have an issue, but yeah, that's a lot of square footage!
According to what i have in my head mesotrione is not compatible with fine fescue, it will kill it.
Pls, check if you can use such seeding fertilizer for fine fescue.
Yes if it was 100% fine fescue it would not be recommended. It can be used if the mixture is less than 20% fine fescue I believe
@@ryanknorrlawncareDoes that mean I shouldn't use the Scott's you used in this video with Jonathan Green Black Beauty?
My neighbors lawns are already growing like crazy. Mine is not doing anything. So I dont even know if I need overseeding. Some bare spots but it looks like there are some green blades
I'd give it a little time. Some people hammer fertilizer early on for green up but when it's growing inches per day pretty soon, they will regret it 😀
@@ryanknorrlawncare thank you
@@ryanknorrlawncareRyan, is there a “perfect” fertilizers that will green things up, but not grow the hell out of the grass? That would be ideal. Enjoy green lawn without mowing every three days or so! Thx
Podcast when?
Hopefully soon. Both RD and I seem to get busier with each passing year
I saw a video of a guy using a snowblower as a dethatcher lol
No way! Link or it never happened!!
I’m 117th to post.
I will never understand why a person comments to complain about someone else commenting that they were the first to comment
🎉
yeah, every home owner has those lawn tools in their shed. LMFAO
Ryan, this does not look like your backyard
First
Can we name the aerator “Iron Mike”? Because that think punches with the quickness!
