Growing Zoysia From Seed | Installing A $40,000 Lawn

[@aron6998]

Fill those roadside ruts up with nails and screws…js lol

[@Ahkomaton]

Been following Zoysia R Us since the beginning! He's an inspiration to me since I want to do this to my yard.

[@AF-O6]

I hope the 40K includes the cost of the Ventrac and attachments!

[@Chon-c]

Yrah. Thats a fkn rip you up the back kinda price. Of course. People now days reacts to numbers as if that translates to quality. 💁‍♂️🙄 Its whats wrong with a lot of things. People with more money than sense. Humble braggers

[@daveklein2826]

Nope

[@Dustin922]

40k isn’t an outrageous price to grade, install irrigation, drill well for irrigation, sod and level. He obviously put down seed but if a company came in and sodded it would be almost 20k is grass alone

[@Chon-c]

@@Dustin922 it says nothing about a well or irrigation And like I said. Id done that for 10k. With zoisya or Bermuda lol or even black Jack .

I have had a project to plant Zoysia on football fields to help reduce the number of head to turf concussions.. I have started 3 fields. I use a golf green plugger and transplant 4 inch diameter plug at a time. It is a slow process but my yard is beautiful and very thick cant wait to get more of the fields planted. I am located in Kings Island Ohio.

Keeping it safe and fun! Awesome Bill!

[@TexasRanchu]

Beautiful yard brother..my house equals to your front yard..can’t wait to see your other videos

[@ventrac]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@bradolsen8629]

I live 10 miles south of the Canadian border in northern Minnesota what grass we have up here is called Kentucky bluegrass I don’t know why it’s called Bluegrass because it’s green after all anyway I’ve never seen this process before this is pretty interesting

[@Johnthelittlebuilder]

As a golf course superintendent I’m still waiting for the day when ventrac comes out with a fraise mower attachment. I absolutely love my ventrac but definitely would become my favourite machine on the course once they come out with that attachment.

[@ventrac]

Hi John! Thank you for your suggestion and I can see where you're coming from. I'll make sure Aaron and our R&D team hears of it!

[@rustyfan89]

I take care of my 2 acres with my John Deere lawn tractor and my toro 60” zero turn just fine but man do I want one of these, not because I need one but because I want one!

[@bradolsen8629]

I think you might find it interesting to know where I live the climate that I love your van track works beautifully for snow removal

[@newbs70]

The power rake is awesome.

[@aaronburford5701]

OMG! That is some good looking soil! Is that dirt or clay? Ventrac is the BEST!

[@jacojarvis7363]

Good luck with the zoysia, I’m killing mine out this fall. It’s hard to keep weeds out and the spray is very very expensive. However I’m in northwest nc

[@billhauck7872]

I have no weeds in my yard. Even the clover has been eliminated. I do not use and weed control at all.

[@Dustin922]

You’re probably not getting warm enough up there for the turf to really get thick to choke out the weeds. You should give a Kentucky blue grass a shot

[@KalebJones803]

Nope long as u do your 7 pre emergent a year it will stay 100% weed free

[@tazmankb26]

I bought my Ventrac for the same reasons. One to maintain my own property (2 acres) and two to work my side hustle business (landscape/field mowing/property maintenance). I would have loved to see what you used to level the sand. Was it a homemade drag or a designed unit?

[@ventrac]

That's a great question! He made his own, so yes indeed it was homemade!

[@erniesantana508]

What sand is that

[@arlisspropertyservicesllc5943]

Nice video; perhaps show the entire process, as in what attachment did he use after the bucket too spread the sand out??

[@daveklein2826]

There are lots of power rake Virgin KZbin

[@daveklein2826]

He showed what he used

[@arlisspropertyservicesllc5943]

@@daveklein2826 He didn’t show how he spread/leveled the sand in the front yard. I know how to run a power rake too. Never tried spreading sand over an established yard, without damaging the existing turf, so I am curious what he used too do it.

[@arlisspropertyservicesllc5943]

@@daveklein2826 I did, I think you are confusing front and back yards.

[@dom2114]

Shame there was no footage of dragging out the sand.

[@ventrac]

We will keep that in mind!

[@justincoffey7429]

What kind of zoysia seed are you planning on using?

[@billhauck7872]

I have planted Meyer 52. Started in Cincinnati ohio in 1960 and the whole street is now Zoysia. It started with 1 square foot from Popular Mechanics.

[@GothicOutlaws]

Line the side of the road with some big rocks... That will fix those low spots from cars running off it...

[@purpledingo4747]

Just a idea mate , you should use a catcher and not leave your clippings due to increased thatch, nice lawn mate

[@daveklein2826]

Nope

[@Dustin922]

Grass clippings when properly mowed don’t cause thatch problems. It’s good for the top soil.

[@daveklein2826]

@@Dustin922 absolutely

[@IdeaGarden1988]

Good, what is the size Sand?

[@timothymiddleton6651]

Medium. Mason sand. Depending on the existing soil properties, climate, and grass type, there will always be some perfect match sweet spot grain size. But generally any medium size clean sand works well. There are pros and cons for grain types like drainage, adhesion, and layering. I’ve done it with Zoysia, Bermuda, and St Ag. What you put in after for nutrients, carbon, microbiology and stuff matter the most. Good luck!

[@timothymiddleton6651]

Also, it’s not just about the size, shape matters some to. Smooth or rounded grains shift and are more prone to divoting, but drains well.

[@bradolsen8629]

You know you look like you have enough room on your lawn for a helicopter pad

[@Chon-c]

40 k ????!!! Id do that for 10!!! 🙄

[@Chon-c]

And id even sew it in Bermuda. 💁‍♂️🙄.

[@Dustin922]

Bermuda is trash grass I have it and have been in the lawn industry for 15 years. Worst grass on the planet

[@Chon-c]

@@Dustin922 thats a matter of opinion & or the hybrid breed type used. But I was referring to price. It costs more than zoisya. I do this work too btw I have Arden 15 in my front yard with japicona zoisya in the back . Both for their own reasons & tendencies .

[@Bdigital9482]

You get what you pay for as the saying goes.

[@Chon-c]

@@Bdigital9482 Yeah. Exactly what people with more $ than sense says when they know they over paid for something. Lol .
