Can you do this to Kikuyu....i have been using pgr but now my reel mower seems to be floating all over the place and i have wash boarding ( waves) Was thinking of giving it a light scarify or should i just wait now until next spring.

Do you reckon no need to aerate this lawn and level with top soil?

100% could have fooled me that this is cool season . Stripes up a dream.

That cub is the same as my rover 🤔 which one makes which ?

looking nice.

Thats the HRX that does a partial bag/ mulch.. the one that’s released with the Nexite plastic deck. Pro model

Can I scarify sir wally in late summer in country South Australia? It's got dead patches everywhere

8:38 heavy top dress with organic soil (80/20 mix with sand)

3:58 lightly top dress that area

You have to use the dethatching tines on buffalo lawns, not the scarifying blades. Scarifying is too rough on buffalo, and you will end up with bare patches that take months to recover.

Fantastic Vid mate .

Great video mate. With PGR on the SGZ, I know Sygenta doesnt advise the rates for Zoysia on the Australian label, but it does state zoysia on the US label which is 0.25-11 fl oz to 1000ft2, so about 8ml per 100m2 as a base, should we be starting at that rate? I've heard some horror stories with people burning their SGZ so I've been hesitant to use it. Could we tank mix with Plant Dr Liquid Iron rather than Max Green? I am trying to limit the nitrogen in the lawn as last season I was seeing massive growth and lots of seed once winter came which I put down to too much nitrogen.

Do you guys get frosts in Scone? Im keen to see how long it can hang on when it cools down. The TifTuf surprised me down in the Canberra region. Keen to try it at my next house because the TifTuf is a dog to keep out of places I don't want it.

Great vid, can you let max go over there and piss all over it and see how it recovers from Glyphopiss?

Great vid. I love you’ve used pgr within 8 weeks of laying.

Wow 12ml/ 100m2 PGR on zoysia seems heavy going to me. I added 10ml/100m2 + iron in Brisbane and it went yellow so have now dropped it back to 5ml/100m2 and am happy with the outcome on my Empire zoysia. Would be keen to see how yours handled the 12ml. You're watering schedule probably makes a big difference.

Hey mate what is the name of the trees that you planted above the retaining wall

Really enjoyed this one Brenton. That patch is really relatable to the average lawnie using the 17" 45. I got to say it looked great 3 days after application. One of my favourite combos prg and iron mix. Quick question how does sg zoysia compare to qld blue they seem to have similar characteristics?

Lookin schmick mate, You got a plan for the rest of the back yard yet?

Looks good mate cant wait for it's first reno just seems abit wavey I'm guessing from the turf just settling so I'm guessing a little top dressing with sand will even it out 🤙

PGR and max green perfect combo!!

That area is looking mint 👌🏻 Great choice with the Crepe Myrtle’s. On the Hydrawise I recently installed one for myself as iv never been a fan of scheduled watering… BUT hell I wish I’d done it years ago haha what a great unit. Have a Gr8 weekend mate 👍🏻

Looks great Brenton. What do you reckon the cause of the uneven stripes is after the first mow in this vid? Slightly uneven lawn that’ll improve with more mows and/or slight topdressing?

Hey mate, keep a close eye on it. My zeon went yellow after about 3-4 weeks of applying 5ml of PGR about 3 months of first installing lawn. It eventually recovered.

How's the Primo Zoysia going next to the green? Still looking at replanting the green with it?

I’ve recently discovered your channel and I am enjoying it very much, especially the Zoysia videos as we laid this down at our previous house. It was a lot of work but the results were worth it. We moved last April and after deciding to renovate our landscaping at our new house we chose Iron Cutter for our new lawn. It is very similar in look to Zoysia but so far it looks like it won’t need as much effort to maintain. I wonder if you’re familiar with Iron Cutter and what your thoughts on it might be. Cheers from Brisbane.

Spot on about Zoysia preferring to shoot from rhizomes. In fact I have to watch it in garden beds because it goes under 75mm edging then pops up in the middle of the bed. It’s manageable, you just need to be aware of it. The other thing you’ll find is you’ll probably have to backlap the mower more often, because zoysia has a higher silica content and causes a bit more blade wear in my experience.

Looking great for such a short period. Nice work!

Hey mate, really been looking forward to this update video. Its looking good. I have about 50 customers with Zoysia, all the different varieties. I think its the most beautiful lawn. Just disgustingly slow to recover from any damage. Some lawn take months to bounce back from a scalp of burn. Just have to accept its a part of this lawn type and be patient. But the best looking lawn out there in my opinion. Your couch lawns would looking good with this recent rain. Have a great weekend mate.

Looking mint after that treatment mate…love that ur experiencing & showing the challenges of zoysia & it’s slower recovery….its been a big experimental & learning 4 me & my Empire…Sir Grange is looking great!!!!

Wow, it looks fantastic. Thanks for the vid.

Great review , I have one of those Ryobi's and find it pretty decent . Have you retired the 460 Pro ? Cheers Matt J

Thoughts on a mid season scarify? Full reno done in November and I've got some dry dead ish growth in my Kik.

Since you don't really like Kikuyu, which lawn do you like for dry, arid areas like outback NSW, far west?

G'day, I'm sorry, but you have no idea what you're talking about with the wobble tee sprinkler. I've been using them for 8 years and if I have them on for any longer than 20min my front lawn is flooded and the one you showed on camera, the head is half the size of the ones I use. We built our house and laid our own grass, and we used the wobble tee sprinklers, and they worked perfectly.

thoughts on pre germination? how do you keep birds away?

Lawn looks great! Cheers from Florida, USA!

Hi Brent. Just wondering what model superswift you ended up using for your scalp and do you think it goes low enough? I’m looking to get something and just want to make sure I get the right thing. Cheers, Will

Do you always scarify before scalping? Do you find it's easier to scalp if it's already been scarified?

Nice and neat work code MRG lawnmowing service watching

Nice demo on the Ryobi scarifier mate, I’m feeling a giveaway coming on 😏

Good informative video, thanks for sharing! I'm keen on the 40V Makita equivalent for next season, looks similar to this one, I think.

I have mushrooms growing in my lawn at the moment. I see them as a sign that my soil has plenty of organic matter. It is due for a groom which I’ll do soon. In Perth Western Australia

Excellent video Brenton thanks! It looks like a good unit. I've only recently bought the Draper scarifier/dethatcher which is a 240 volt corded machine. I've had great results with that, but the cord is a little annoying - might have to consider this machine. BTW, nice little fart at 6:56, perfectly timed!

Good review. I own one and have 2x batteries on a 750sqm block. My front yard is Kikuyu which doesnt handle a low height of cut for my situation. I find the dethather attachment (springy one) works really well for it, pulling the dead material out, and then allows me to get a good cut. My back lawn in couch, and the standard dethatcher works really well. Also good to see your dad on the channel again

wow and plant more tree sir because you can use it for cooking fuel for example

Thanks for that video. It's great that someone with qualifications is willing to show what lower priced equipment can do for those of us who don't have qualifications or experience with high end professional equipment.

nICE TO see your dad out with ya having a dig real nice. Remoinds me of my dad when we use to do things like that together. After a while hed sit down and just enjoy watching me work. <3

Wish they made a brush attachment for this too would be great for leaves

One extra thing I would add about the spring wire attachment is the remember to check its condition after every use. I had one break off when I was using it as a groomer on my Sir Grange but didn't realise. Well my cylinder mower found it for me and it left a nice little chip in the bed knife and reel. 🤬 On the plus side, the rake pulled up a good sized Couch runner that was hiding under the canopy so I painted that bad boy with Round Up real quick.
