Quick tip for everyone. Get your mower out of garage after winter and make sure it starts. If it doesn't you can get it in the shop before they get backed up for weeks. Right around the time you need to be mow.

[@rapfreak7797]

Good advice, I did that two days ago.

[@Subieboy58]

Haha same just did it an hour ago my everything starts!

[@lordbaelish19]

Or get an EGO mower

[@UnknownUser_0000]

Or you can be a man and fix it yourself. 🤷‍♂️

[@RobertoTehJon]

Got a landscaping business I run in the Midwest and brought everything in on March 1st. Got them back this last week. Definitely learned my lesson last year about when to bring it in.

[@lazarusgrey4866]

So glad these videos are back!🌱 Looking forward to starting the season!

[@zinoorr1056]

Ryan, I live in NJ and cleaned, raked and prepped my new lawn ready for its first Spring.. honestly, stayed a nice light shade of green all winter. I used all of your products and I’m convinced it’s as good as it is because of your products and your channel.

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

Glad to help and thanks for the support!

[@ACKCSC2024]

You know a guy is serious when he details and waxes his mowers.... Glad to see its that time of the year Welcome to spring! Love your vids. Keep up the great work.

Happy New Lawn Care Year Ryan! 😊

[@theodoresmith9308]

I've been watching your videos for years and have always loved the cinematography. On top of that I have learned so much from your educational videos. For me, this has been the most enjoyable video. Maybe it is the soundtrack? Maybe it is the anticipation of the green-up of our lawns? Keep it up!

[@Sundevilhp]

I agree, there was something very pleasant about the audio!

Great video brother! It's finally starting to warm up here as well. Can't wait to start the season! We still have a bit of snow on the yard from though. Few more weeks to go!

[@jerryhulsey9618]

We could've made a similar video at my house. The hose sprayer was broken at the threads, found a pressure tip and sprayed the grass off the bottom of my mower and trimmer and sprayed the bottom with a dry antistick silicone coating. Cut the cold burn off the fescue, did some much needed edging. Awesome info man, awaiting the next awesome video from you. Thanks for everything!

Great 2022 prepping for Spring video. Looking forward to this season's videos. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@RelaxingRestoration]

LOL at the shots fired at Bermuda grass!!

[@davidhires7403]

Haha I love how you want to wait for the soil to “set in” and dry up before you mow. I wish I could do that. Here in Seattle we are always mowing with soft saturated soil. If I waited for it to set in I wouldn’t mow until July.

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

Well when our soil is frozen more than 2 feet into the ground and thaws out, it's not a great idea to be putting a heavy machine on it :)

[@pkiknex]

I'm super excited for my first mow of the season tomorrow near Cincinnati, Ohio! Also, I've had the opposite for green up. An area I seeded from scratch last fall with a quality TTTF was the first to green up despite being on the east side of my house. Although that speaks more to the cultivars because I could see that same overseeded TTTF greening sooner in the rest of the mixed yard.

[@Mityob67]

Good morning. Are you gonna leave the lawn mixed or convert to TTTF? Just curious.

[@pkiknex]

@@Mityob67 I plan on overseeding TTTF into it every fall for the next few years, ending in a predominantly tall fescue mix.

[@allensadicario5196]

2022 season has begun April 1 I do my first cut good seeing you out there brother

[@blarneylawnsbymichael9936]

Love your videos ( also aesthetic as a DOP for profession). I just wanted to give you some information how lawn are workin in other parts of the world. I live in the south of Ireland. The deepest soil temperature I measured this winter was 9 degrees C so 48 F. The highest air temp last summer was 86F for 3days (average about 22C /71F). So we have cool season lawn that has an average growing season between 11 to 12 month per year. Or issue in the winter is the amount of rain during the winter month,as the grass growth but it is impossible to mow. So I have never seen a dormant cool season lawn in Ireland in the winter. Since 2years I have a Barenbrug RPR lawn in the front, and it’s great. This year the backyard will be renovated with the same. A lot of the chems that you can use in the US is not allowed in Europe, I still managed to get tenacity from the US. Always thankful for your tips , but have to find ways to adopt them to our climate and the laws

[@Megatron_83]

Love the custom paint job on the Time Master bro!

[@paulbaratta1566]

Did a nice clean up and light rake and good blow. Still 19 degrees expected for lows this week in New England! Temp of soil is around 39-42 degrees depending in sun. Hope it drys out some more and get to first mow and minor repairs soon. Got my new Ryan Knorr Simple Solutions box ready to go!

[@darrickb1964]

Thank you for making me feel better by saying my brown grass will turn green I did a renovation with kbg and I'm worried 😟

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

Bluegrass takes a long time. My test plot from fall looks really tough right now but start to push it with low doses of fertilizer and mow it like crazy and it will get going eventually.

[@jfuston33]

Big fan of plasti-dip! As long as you do it right, it works great. Use it on all my cars wheels. Might get into doing entire cars, we'll see. Thanks for the video's!

[@JEK]

Great video, Ryan, as Spring is finally here. I have so much I want to get done in my yard but just thinking about it is making my body hurt.

[@MJorgy5]

Plastidipping a new mower is genius. It will look brand new if you ever pull it back off. The red scuffs look cool, too.

[@TopTierLawnCareServices]

I mowed my lawn on Friday, it is very green😁😁

[@thehandyhomeowner9781]

For that "first start" grab some starting fluid. Take off the air cleaner and spray some starting fluid in there. One or two pulls and it will be running and pull fuel through.

[@Frogmanvr2]

I bought that Makita back pack blower, I love it.

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

I really like mine

[@jherrmann543]

Just cleaned all my lawnmowers up and raked and blew the grass yesterday. I’m actually very shocked how green my front yard is compared to others. I do have hairy bittercress tho popping up in the front that i never had. Bring on the videos.

[@EuroYardService]

YAY...lawn season is upon us...I'm amazed you don't have an oil extractor for your oil changes.

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

I actually do have one but have never used it haha - tipping is easy and quick so 🤷‍♂️

[@s4bersun]

Coming back to your channel now that the winter is leaving the area. We followed your videos to fully redo our lawn and we got 2 mows in before the winter. Since the lawn is not established for a full year yet - when to apply Tenacity or other product for the weeds which grew in while the lawn came out? Keep up the work!

[@jimpace5001]

Great great video!! Thanks so much

[@mgriffin12]

I did all my cleanup, weed control, and overseed already. Dormant grass greened up this week! Even the poa is coming in strong 😩.

[@JoeM444]

The snow is finally melting. Still have 2 inches of snow but it’s finally melting. YES! Here in north central Wisconsin.

[@FreedomRock44]

Agreed.........Nice old school reel

[@snosqrl]

I've got about 3-4 types of grass in the front that green and grow at different rates... fun. What are your suggestions for trying to get all the same grass breed? Kill it all and start over, or is there another way? Love your videos man! Thanks for sharing your passion so the rest of us can have awesome lawns!

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

In my opinion I would start over with high quality grass seed. You'll be a lot happier in the end

[@rep1089]

I was low on iron last spring when I did my soil test. So, I put some down this spring along with barricade weed control and disease ex fungicide. Waiting a little later for 100% active growth to apply tenacity.

[@cmajoen]

The fungicide really only works under certain conditions. None of which are present in the spring

[@rep1089]

Disease had control over my lawn last year, I did not. So I wanted to catch it early this year and prevent it before it happens. So, my plan was to alternate brands starting in the spring and continuing throughout the summer/ fall. Humidity stays high in West Virginia.

[@mteske1]

You can 100% suffer from diseases like brown patch in late spring. Preventative fungicide is much more effective than curative.

[@JeffSmith-eq3kc]

Still at 37-38 degrees soil temp... Sorry. I'm just in Maryland so not too far south really and we're hovering at the 54-56 degree mark. Already threw down the prodiamine, nice 1lb of nitrogen and have had a couple nice mows already. LOVE IT.

[@skywalker268]

Any advice on applying grub killer? I have a white grub problem and I don't want to apply too early in the season and damage the lawn. I'm in UT and temps are similar to yours now.

[@thetommantom]

I planted grass this time of year last year I think it's better to wait until it warms up but it's just about that time of year

[@maxburgess9353]

You know you're a lawn nerd when you find yourself detailing your mowers... :D

[@erikerickson6652]

You should look up vacuum oil change. It is a time saver and a lot cleaner than tipping your lawnmower on its side. Look up Chris notap, lawnmower oil change using your shop vac.

[@georgemarcus6025]

All ready looking to my fall over sending. currently have fescue. How would rye grass and fescue look and blend. Your videos are great. Keep giving us knowledge

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

A small amount of rye in there is ok

[@tradingsystemsgroup5312]

My lawn is dark green, but spotty. First reseeding last fall with fescue, without much prep. Better than last spring. This year will get a better handle on the partial Bermuda (need to get rid of this). Also better prep before the reseed. Weed problem gone anyways.

[@barbarianbraunny]

I think I see a Spyderco knife in the pocket and now I'm curious. What kind of knife do you typically EDC?

[@aronziegler1814]

I would guess the Spyderco. I've seen it a couple of times lately.

[@barbarianbraunny]

@@aronziegler1814 ya I feel like I have too. Hard to tell maybe a tenacious or a para 3 ?

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

I got a custom one with my logo on it from some friends a few years ago

[@barbarianbraunny]

@@ryanknorrlawncare that's awesome! Next video let us get a peak at the knife!! Was I right tho? It is a para3

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

@@barbarianbraunny I think it might have been shown in this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXWkp6StithppJo Or the video "i bought another manual reel mower"

[@kardoid1234]

Should I mow before adding the weed beater in spring or does that matter?

[@soilworker3]

Funny you mentioned that newer grass may not be as green. I planted about 1200 sq. ft. of new grass last spring and that grass is significantly darker green than the entire rest of the yard. It's a typical cool season blend but I think the existing lawn is so old that the newer seeds provide that much more color than what was out there in the past.

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

Well that definitely would make sense in your case. Mine is elite vs elite so the new stuff isn't quite as mature

[@Terry11111]

Should you dethatch before a first fertilizer application of the season?

[@BrewReview]

Probably best done in the fall while the grass is still growing so it can recover before first snowfall tbh. I would skip it in the spring, personally, and I to really do it if it needs being done meaning something like a pretty thick mat of thatch going on in the grass. You do want a bit of it in there after all

[@phillipramz8882]

How soon after spring would it be safe to de thatch the lawn?

Hi Ryan, Just wondering I have a large yard that I am reclaiming from overgrowth over the years. I plan on regrading my whole yard 4 acres in a couple years my question is what type of cheap grass to use as a temporary grass cover. I live in southern Minnesota Thanks for all your video content

[@Behaviorist1]

Hi Ryan! I live in Norway and we have very cold climate in winter, but we let our grass grow alittle tall before winter time to protect the roots through the winter. I don't know if that is the proper way to do it, but I can see that you have very short grass through the winter, or does it just look like it? Thank you! Love your channel!

I use the scarifier cartridge get up all the left over junk from the plow trucks. Then gave it its first cut. Couldn’t help it.

[@cobravenum]

what month do you recommend to level out the lawn and plant new seed I need to add new seed to a larger section of the front lawn and fill in some spots in the back yard. I was thinking of doing it now but I don't want to chock the grass now that its not fully growing yet. We just had a freeze last week and i think that hurt the lawn a bit when it was starting to show some green. Thank you Ryan.

@ryan, just a minor tip: when pull starting anything, pull the handle until it catches and becomes tight and then pull. It reduces wear on rope and notches and reduces injury chances when it locks up and yanks your arm out of the socket

[@davidh3f]

Using cleaning fluid on mowers seem to be excessive to me. The mowers will get dirty after the first mow, like what you said in the video; but more regrettably, all the chemicals are now washed down to the soil, just for a few days good look of the mowers?

Hi Ryan! Amazing content as always. Do you have recommendations on how to prevent pet damage in the yard? Do you just water down their fluids?

That's the only way besides having them pee somewhere else. I do that starting in the spring. I let them go wherever in the winter, and the extra nitrogen spots "wear off" after a couple mows. I water for about 30 seconds to dilute. Seems to be fine.
