How to Fix an Ugly Lawn - Killing Lawn Weeds

[@drnh4444]

I had a lawn once that was virtually all clover. It was beautiful to be honest. Always succulent and lush green. Great job buddy. Really enjoying your videos. So glad to see someone who isn't over dramatic and not shouting

[@ExoticForeign]

I’m in Georgia too I am so glad you said that, that means you understand how crazy this weather can be and middle GA grass is no joke!!!

[@estherlista]

That's my lawn!! 95% weed and 5% bermuda grass!

[@LifeLessOrdinary]

Wanted to thank you Doc for all your videos. I started last spring and turned my 100% weed back yard, into beautiful Bermuda grass.

[@geezyboyjan8245]

I bought my first home and its 90 percent weeds, thank you for the information

[@dottierogers4625]

Can you look at my ugly lawn? Your a miracle worker!

[@ricardorangel2454]

this is what i'm looking for for long time, fortunately i follow your renovation video in the test patch and is working very well, plant new seeds, now i'm dealing with some weeds as i'm following your bermuda guide and no pre-emerge in the first year, so let the winter take care and put the pre-emerge next year or later november, i'm in Texas so winter gets here mid December

[@Dr.A.Rosenberg]

I'm so glad that Doc is my neighbor.

[@ericbeckman4608]

So, does anyone else wish that Doc was their neighbor? :-)

[@chasingthefish9042]

No. I want my lawn to be the best one 😆

[@gregzimmerman6864]

I finally received all the products needed through Amazon, about 550.00 ish including a cheapish backpack and spreader. We have a little rain here in Oklahoma so I am waiting until I have 2 days of no rain weather. Wish me luck!

[@RaggityDoll]

I thoroughly enjoyed the HD graphics

[@chachab9239]

I’m here awaiting your arrival to treat my monster lawn too. 🤗🤗😹

[@Reck1e5s]

This is exactly what i needed to get my yard on track! Thanks Doc!

[@juliovazquez82]

It will be nice if you do a follow up video. showing all the product that you have use.

That was on e high tech graphic! My mind was blown!

[@JB-kx9bx]

I put my late summer pre-emergent out a few weeks too late. My lawn has a buffet of weeds half of which look like from something you see in a jungle 😅

[@danielseaton984]

I want a single grass lawn. But, my neighbor’s lawn is Zoysia and has taken over about a third of my front lawn. The Zoysia is so thick that I can barely push my self-propelled mower through it. I think that I have lost the battle for a Bermuda lawn. My backyard Bermuda is being displaced by Fescue. Defeated!

[@jasonc5021]

Q4 product seemed to work really well on crabgrass. I’m surprised it actually killed it, since its more of a control product and not a killer. I’ve used other products that stated control, what they did was suppressed the crabgrass which work but not as good as a product that kills. MSMA 6 Plus works awesome .

[@SurfDan5]

Great video. Very educational.

[@CommonGuy]

Wish you had one on St. Augustine!!!

[@richg4945]

I Agree!

[@yannip2083]

EXCELLENT channel. Thank you so much.

[@riflebear1711]

Can you also link for part 2 and part 3 please? Sucks having to search through a ton of videos.

[@curtislewis5437]

Looking forward to the application video! My Bermuda need's help.👍

[@JM-yx1lm]

I sure want to see the rest of this project asap

[@juliewander3234]

Same process for St. Augustine? In Dallas. Sounds like weather in GA about the same as here

[@chuckpalmer3926]

Look forward to this project. I have an area on my property that I’d like to do the same thing.

[@akselbanuelos8246]

Great Job... quick question did you do this during the winter or summer meaning 50' to 30 degrees or higher temperatures

[@delsaviob]

Liked before I watched. Know it’s going to be a good video. Thanks.

[@gaffle-411]

Your lawn is INSANE!

[@tamarabaumgartner4865]

Thank you so much. Very helpful

[@phunkysai]

Thanks Doc, this series is exactly what I needed.....

[@jimanders6666]

great video !!

[@rosannaburgess714]

Thank you so much for your help.

[@jbughart2877]

Just started watching your videos. I'm in Houston TX. My backyard is Bermuda & the weeds are coming in. BUT.... I've been putting only organic products on my lawn because I have lots of butterflies, birds, hummingbirds, etc and don't want to harm anything beneficial. I haven't looked at any of your other videos yet, so was wondering if you help people who have organic lawns? PS: this video is super helpful because my front lawn is not organic!! I know, I know, doesnt make sense, does it!!

[@shogunhoneybear]

If you want an ugly lawn to fix and want to expand your fanbase in Texas... I'll donate my yard to your videos.

[@jimmaffett4992]

Hey doc. Came across your page a. year ago and it has done wonders for my yard. Looking forward to your new project. Was wondering if you could identify the weeds as you go? Some of the grassy weeds all look the same.

[@ruthellb5997]

Thanks Doc, My yard has been an awful site this year, for the first time???

[@snail1833]

Thanks

[@wellbbq]

Man Doc I have pretty dam ugly lawn for you to help me with!!!

[@Puddycat00]

Of course I’m subbing.

[@lorikrafft8197]

I have a super terrible lawn. I bought this property two years ago the house was built in 1918 it was used as a rental property for the last five years before I bought it full of weeds stickers crabgrass many different kinds of grass and on top of that I have a silver maple and a mulberry tree they’re both ugly and send up shoots and the roots from the silver maple are sticking up everywhere and it’s August help

[@Paulie_O]

Thanks for sharing 🍻

[@aussie2uGA]

Curious if you can spread pre-emergent granules FIRST, as rain is every day, then spray for existing weeds in the next day or two? Are the pre-emergent granules affected by post emergent spray herbicide?

[@estherlista]

This is exactly what my lawn looks like!!!

[@wjm988]

whoaa doc! haven't seen you in a while. got the Rona beard going, nice!

[@mikehoy1594]

Hi Doc!!! Great series on fixing an ugly lawn. So very, very informative and instructional. However, here in Southeast Texas it is more common to have San Augustine grass instead of Bermuda. My question is whether this same procedure will work on San Augustine as opposed to Bermuda? Any insight will be GREATLY appreciated.

[@WhittyPics]

I wish I lived next door to you Doc. I am going to hit the Pre E a little harder this fall so maybe I won't be having to fight all the POA ANNUA next spring

[@bigcamote1080]

Doc what's with the beard? You just put on 20 extra years.😄

[@dogchronicles3058]

Imagine having temperatures in the 80s on October? It couldn’t be me! Waving from MA 👋

Everything thing is for Bermuda grass, will this work for centipede grass?

[@kimberlybrowder3700]

I just found out what carpet grass looks like and my neighbor has it creeping over to my house!

[@claykc]

How much can I build up the low spots in my lawn at a time? I am scalping this week before heavy rains hit. Want to level a bit next time we have a few clear days

[@MilkyWayGalaxyy]

I am a complete newbie to Lawncare. Never really cared about my lawn before and still don't. But I would like to make it look a little better for cheap and no hassle. I have lots of weeds, dandelions, purple things, poppyseeds etc. It's a mess. Is there a one time thing I can spray on it to get rid of most of it? I really don't want to keep buying stuff and wasting time on it. I have a really small lawn filled with critters, insects, skunks, rabbits, etc that chew it up. My neighbors have nice lawns and don't seem to do any annual maintenance in terms of weeds. So can you treat it once and never again to get most of them out?

[@MrJoelelectric]

Hey Doc. Great video as always. Can you tell me the in order steps for this one day application. Are you going to spray first, then apply the granular PE and PGFC? I would think after spraying you wouldn’t want to walk on lawn. Thanks

[@joesteffe6155]

Same question as b4 will this work on St Augastine and in Florida ??

[@rachelbaldwin6281]

Hello there DOC!! I am so excited to see a change in my lawn after going through all of the steps you have set up for me. I just finished buying all products from Amazon, but could not purchase the Q4 weed killer. Apparently , the Q4 is not able to be delivered to my address in Northeast Florida ( Yulee to be exact ). do you know why? Are the chemicals illegal to use in this area? I'd like to start treatments very soon, so was wondering if you could recommend another weed killer comparable to the Q4? Thank you in advance and I'll be sure to keep you updated on the progress of my lawn. ( I'll be taking video/pictures throughout the whole process). Can't Wait!!!

[@kyrstinkrause3159]

Can I do this same treatment with fescue?

[@maricruzmonrreal6671]

Yes 👍🏻

[@krystle1018]

Who should I buy my grass seed from? I live in NY. Should I get a Kentucky blue grass and fine fescue mix? My front lawn is full sun part of my back yard is shade. I hate buying grass seed that has weed seed in it, soooo annoying!

[@Quickstepz-OG]

I have come to a cross road Doc! If I don't get some type of water sprinkler set up. My Bermuda is guna struggle with me hand watering it.

[@viardrums]

Hey Doc! Love your channel! Gotta an unusual (maybe) question... How do you recommend keeping Bermuda OUT of perimeter/flower beds?

[@jessebradshaw9848]

My front yard is Bermuda and my backyard is Zoysia. The Bermuda sod has been down for 25 years and the Zoysia sod for two years. Can your process be applied to Zoysia? All of a sudden I've had significant weeds in the Bermuda. Not sure why but I'm going to apply your process.

[@Galerak1]

Love the videos, they're always very informative. I have to say though, when ever you're doing your little descriptive chat at the beginning my eyes always get drawn to that umbrella in the top right. I can't imagine why ;^))

[@Dan-rd2wm]

Oooh i wish you live beside me and help treating my 1000sqft 😁😁 Doc I want to do every single thing in this series the only thing that i want is to grow fescue in my back yard..this 1000sqft have a lot of shed and the sun is not enough for the Bermuda to come out..full of weeds but the Bermuda will not come out as supposed to be like your lawns that you are treating..please is there an advise or if you can make same videos on how to seed and grow fescues instead of bermuda..i live north of Atlanta..please i really need help as my back yard is awful..thanks a lot and your channel is 👍

[@johnr2469]

Good video. I live in a transition zone farther north. With hotter summers I've thought about going to Bermuda or Zoysia, they seems to do well here now in small test patches, but neighbors on both sides have fescue/bluegrass lawns and any spreader type varieties will probably be considered "invasive". Have you had to deal with anything like that without the neighbors wanting to run you out? Lol. I dont know that a driveway will prevent spreading either.

[@bodhisativaa]

I was told weeds are really good for soil and if you leave them for a while it will turn the soil into very fertile soil.

[@4theloveofDub]

So I have 90% weeds and want fescue like my neighbors. What time of the year would I do this in northern South Carolina for fescue? Still early fall?

[@MusiqTruth]

I had trees removed in my backyard snd Kentucky bluegrass thrown down just over a year ago. The entire area is nothing but weeds. I don’t even think there’s actually grass. I’m still picking out rocks and the now dead left over roots. Help.

[@CrossingJourney]

Thank you for sharing. But what’s the next step or video? Checked your channel and can’t find the next one after this.

[@ruralhillmotorsports7430]

Love this!

[@1LASTAT]

Can you make a plan for me for the Maryland.

[@ericalewis1084]

My grass is basically dead and I have weeds. I pulled quite a bit last year and will need to pull up the rest soon. I'm in California. For my lawn to look nice and healthy, I just need to kill the weeds, put down preemergent, and soil?

[@krystle1018]

It’s annoying that the Q4 plus turf herbicide, can’t be shipping to NY, unless you’re licensed

[@petuniafuzz9083]

My late husband always cut the grass as close as he could. We had fairly nice Bermuda grass to start with, but now it is probably 95% crabgrass. I have considered rocking it in, but I don't think I can afford it. 😦

[@riflebear1711]

Also no link for the square footage calculator

[@pamelascott3184]

I live in California, and my front yard is horrible. I want a beautiful yard. But I know the yard is full of weeds, and dandelions the surface dirt is hard even when it's wet. It looks hard. My question is this what can I do to get my yard to what I know it can be? I've paid gardeners and they've charged me to spray the yard with weed killer, but even with them I have the same issues. So now both my husband and have chosen to do it ourselves. Don't I need to till the yard at some time to breakup the hard packed dirt?

[@patriciadavis229]

I’m totally confused. I live in South Alabama, Foley to be exact. You just described my lawn of weeds. I have the kill product in my basket, but not sure which pre-emergent or fertilizer to use? I have no idea what grass was here but know for sure it’s not Bermuda. I’m an active senior and one day seems like a winner to me. Help.

[@MusiqTruth]

Kill. Prevent. Feed. Got it!

[@Nilocsemliw]

How do I do this with cool season lawns? The website only mentions Bermuda.

[@goodnatured3925]

Does weed killer and fertilizer have a shelf life?

[@pricesbbq6261]

Hey Doc I planted a little over a half of an acre of Sahara Bermuda mid May in North Carolina when can I spray for weeds a lot of broadleaf weeds along with some grass type weeds

You should be good to treat it.

[@markhughes1587]

I'm wanting to overseed a 3 blend fine fescue lawn (flagstaff, az). what would be the best timing to apply your pre emergent treatment and be able to allow the new fescue seeds to germinate. Do you have a way to communicate on your website? Email?

[@riflebear1711]

Where the link for the weed spray?

[@Krucifixo206]

Will this method work for grasses in the Pacific Northwest region?

[@somenygaard]

0:37 That’s an incredible yard. If I didn’t know any better I’d have said it was fake! I just bought a house with a neglected yard is it a problem to continue mowing shortly before I spray? Or should I spray first before I give it a mow? I’m in an area where not mowing for a bit isn’t a problem other than being unsightly. Thanks!

[@Disbudgetz]

Love your videos! I am wondering if this will work for my backyard as I live in southern coastal NC and my builder put Bermuda grass seed in backyard but it really is nothing but weeds and maybe 10% actual Bermuda?

[@susiecable4326]

My grass looks exactly like this! Thank you for the help. I’m in Arizona. Late July temps are a high of 110-115 but next 5 days are low 80s and high is about 102. Should I treat early in the morning or is it overall too hot to be successful and should I wait till Spring? Our Bermuda grass goes dormant around Nov and people usually overseed for winter lawn in Oct.

[@bradleyporter5844]

Can I do this application in the Spring?

[@lolzydudes]

I feel so bad because my lawn has maybe 13 blades of good desirable grass and the rest is long weeds. There is even thistles in there. It's just a field of weeds at this point.

[@samuraioodon]

hello doc, what if my lawn is pretty much dead. im going to kill it completely. should i then put pre emergent and reseed/lawn starter and water? thank you, im also here in north texas! thanks

[@marcuschef]

Can I do this treatment at this time of year in New England or should I wait until next year?

Do u need to do a soil test? Or this treatment is assuming they have good soil
