I've finally found someone as much a lawn fanatic as I am! Can't wait to fertilize, mow, areate, trip every winter leading up into the spring. My problem is I have 4 acres of grass and no irrigation system, so I'm at the mercy of rain on Sandy soil. I do try to keep area in backyard and close around house nicer. The rest of it just goes with the weather trend. Happy mowing

I just bought a new house in N. Georgia with Bermuda sod in the front lawn. Had terrible amounts of crabgrass and other weeds. Using your tips I’ve gotten rid of almost all the weeds! Bermuda’s looking real nice now. I still have to figure out how to seed the back since it has contractors rye grass. I’m gonna check out a local nursery for some good Bermuda seed.

we live in South West Texas and just had a brand new Bermuda Lawn put in (14 Palettes). We don’t have a sprinkler system, we are hand watering it at this time, spinkler system might come next year. OK..after the sod was put in, it was really, really LUMPY..it makes it tough to fertilize as well as to mow. I plan on renting a Water Wheel from Home Depot next year before the grass starts to grow, and I’ll wet the lawn and run the heavy Water Wheel over the entier area to try and level it out. Our Landscaper told us that we shouldn’t dethatch the lawn here in Texas due to the poor soil and high heat..so we won’t do that unless he tells us to do it. We have a lot of different kinds of weeds or grass types that shouldn’t be in the lawn and we don’t know what they are called or how to treat them. We WILL go and buy some Pre emergent tomorrow at Home Depot and start treating it right away, we LOVE your videos and its so darn full of great information!...

Got my Bermuda lawn set up this summer with a truckload of soil and 10 pounds of Arden-15 seed. It looks great, but haven’t really done any treatments besides some fert a couple of times. When it comes to pre-emergent, can I put that down in early/middle Feb using granular? And then will that be ok if I scalp a month later? Also, I do not have a motorized reel mower yet, so I was planning to scalp with the lowest setting on my manual reel mower, will that work?

I'm in Houston, TX and my neighbors run their sprinklers constantly even when it rains. This Feb during the big freeze my backflow broke. I didn't water the lawn all year, just used the rain. Every week it has rained at least 2 days with the exception of 2 weeks. I noticed that I did not need to use the sprinkler. It gets hot down here, but folks water too much. In the summer if we don't have rains, water, otherwise use the rain to your advantage.

My wife and I just purchased our first ever house, and I am excited to finally have a lawn. The builder put down sod in the front and sides (I believe it was Tifway 419). We closed around Christmas and they laid the sod while hit was already dormant. They also put it on red clay with no topsoil underneath. It hasn't taken root yet, and you can still see the sod lines, but trying to get a head start so it will start growing rapidly once it heats up. I also think you said in a previous video not to put any pre emergent on new sod, but I am getting some crab grass growing through in a few spots that I don't want to get out of hand. Lastly, I can't really afford 4 pallets of sod for the back yard, and they put down fescue, but was thinking of overseeing that with Princess 77 seed, since that seems to be the only hybrid bermuda seed I can find that would work where we live (Charlotte area).

Doc....Just watched your calendar video and it was awesome. I live in Charlotte where we have a clay soil, as do you in Atlanta. We have a community yard service, and we have terrible looking yards. Granted, we have only been here for a year and a half, so it's a small sample to use. I believe that they don't know how to care for bermuda grass, and it is driving me crazy, for I am a lawn nerd. First of all, do you use a reel mower or a standard lawn mower with a bag attachment. Also, do you have a list of fertilizers that you use for your yard, and are they granular as well as liquid form. When you overseed, what kind of seed do you use. I appreciate the time that you take to share this information, and I look forward to seeing more of your video

Awesome, and informative, video! Living in AL I have about the same climate but had a question. When spraying, the 30-0-0, prior to using the granular, 20-5-10, do you just use a hand-held sprayer? Im assuming process kills two birds with one stone by not having to wait for rain to dissolve the granular and also give is an extra boost being a liquid fertilizer. I guess I’m thinking that MAYBE isn’t always needed, or could burn the grass, unless you do it distribute and use it properly, if that’s safe to say?
