How to Fix an Ugly Lawn - Killing Lawn Weeds

Fixing and ugly lawn full of weeds. PRODUCTS → www.howtowithd...
This is part one of fixing an ugly lawn full of weeds. This can be done in one day, all at the same time. Doc is getting ready to fix the ugly lawn and starting the lawn care plan.

[@estherlista]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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!!!

[@ericbeckman4608]

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

[@chasingthefish9042]

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

[@Dr.A.Rosenberg]

I'm so glad that Doc is my neighbor.

[@dottierogers4625]

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

[@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!

[@geezyboyjan8245]

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

[@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

[@riflebear1711]

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

[@chachab9239]

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

[@akselbanuelos8246]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@juliovazquez82]

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

[@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.

[@joesteffe6155]

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

[@juliewander3234]

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

[@XerxesX.]

Look so what should i do first toy lawn that’s screaming with weeds what bag should i put

[@MrMannyboy329]

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

[@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 😅

[@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 .

[@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?

[@CommonGuy]

Wish you had one on St. Augustine!!!

[@richg4945]

I Agree!

[@doreenjames8491]

Good morning are you still talking care of lawn?

[@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

[@HowTowithDoc]

You should be good to treat it.

[@pricesbbq6261]

@@HowTowithDoc any recommendations I’m thinking MSMA

[@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!

[@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?

[@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.

[@BigAlby]

Almost sounds like you created a new word. “Berbeautiful”

Can you make a plan for me for the Maryland.

[@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

[@Reck1e5s]

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

[@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?

[@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.

[@goodnatured3925]

Does weed killer and fertilizer have a shelf life?

[@t.c.canales3358]

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

[@gaffle-411]

Your lawn is INSANE!

[@krystle1018]

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

[@riflebear1711]

Also no link for the square footage calculator

[@rubykautz7670]

Help Dic- I live in Fresno CA, and my lawn is terrible- I’ve tried to remove all the goat heads but now there is bur stickers:( I paid my lawn keeper $550. To kill the weeds and plant new seed but it still terrible and I’m not throwing away more money and I’m thinking that I need to just blade the whole thing and bring in new healthy soil??? Am I overreacting? Probably but I’m desperate to have a decent lawn for my grandkids. I want them to be able to run and play without getting stickers in their feet! What should I do with this? Can I rent some kind of machine with a mini blade in it so I can remove the top few inches of crap and haul it off and bring in healthy top soil and then level and seed? Please HELP😬

[@Krucifixo206]

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

[@Nilocsemliw]

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

[@snail1833]

Thanks

[@SurfDan5]

Great video. Very educational.

[@riflebear1711]

Where the link for the weed spray?

[@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?

[@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?

[@ivyhernandez2526]

So, About how much money is needed to get this result?

[@rickthain8538]

Can I use this method and these products on Zoysia? My lawn is 3 acres of Zoysia and 80% weeds like your neighbor. I'm in South Carolina. I do have sprinkler system, but also getting large bare spots. Thanks for your help. Love your video

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

[@kyrstinkrause3159]

Can I do this same treatment with fescue?

[@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.

[@larmekaarnold6132]

Hey, Doc I'm in Atlanta and I'm trying to do my dad's house. We live on a main street and I need to get my dads yard back. He's got soooooooo many weeds. And it is June 21, 2021. How much time do I have? I wish I could insert pictures. 🙂

[@yannip2083]

EXCELLENT channel. Thank you so much.

[@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!!

[@Murc_roadster]

Our front yard is usually dirt but we had an excessive amount of rain this last week in West Texas. How can I kill everything at once. I cut it all and it's all growing back

[@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?

[@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

[@bradleyporter5844]

Can I do this application in the Spring?

[@robbieross926]

Doc - Can't get the sprayers from Ama zon or the PGF complete to try this on my lawn. I am in Georgia and I feel like I am running out of time to perform this fix. Any other hose end sprayers you recommend?

[@alanhuntington1593]

Can the ugly Bermuda lawn fix method be applied to cool season lawns too?

[@mikelopapa8139]

Do you know after the 4 days you let the treatment settle?

[@danmartin8988]

Does this work in hot locations like Texas?

[@RaulTorresMorfin]

My front lawn is mostly common bermuda but it has some patches of Tiff bermuda.....it does not look even, looks bad, specially when cut short...what should I do?

[@JM-yx1lm]

I sure want to see the rest of this project asap

[@chuckpalmer3926]

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

[@jlabno1]

Hi Doc great video. I’m in the Midwest do I use the same products for my lawn which I assume is bluegrass?

[@tamarabaumgartner4865]

Thank you so much. Very helpful

[@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

[@lorelei1852]

Does this work with other grasses such as fescue grasses?

[@juanitahernandez9298]

Is this remedy good for Turf Grass too? Buffalo grass

[@bwaldrep11]

We live in Tennessee with tall fescue. Are there any adjustments that I need to make with the suggestions from this video? obviously we are doing this the same type of yr. Thanks

[@Puddycat00]

I have a horrible lawn, but I also have a huge tree that has surface roots . I don’t want to cut the tree down. So how do I put grass to cover the roots. My yard looks worse than your yard

[@jimanders6666]

great video !!

[@debbievillareal5193]

In Texas with the weather at highs 92 and lows 60 in the month of October could I apply this treatment?

[@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.

[@delsaviob]

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

[@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.

[@TheWalkerjrc]

Can I do this to a newly seeded lawn????? I have the South Carolina bouquet of weeds. I think I have at least 8 different types of weeds. I planted Black Jack seed.

So do you own the property or since they bought it does it belong to them? I am in a similar situation next door for about 5’x300’

Doc...can I use this plan on my out of control zoysia lawn?

[@raeyurek8065]

Where are you located?

[@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.

Where are the links that Doc mentioned?

[@deeruckussolutions8772]

Where are all these links he’s referring too? 🤔

[@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!!!

[@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!

[@markgillott808]

Can I spray weed killer and put down granular pre emergent on same day or weekend?

[@HowTowithDoc]

Watch the video... fully explained.

[@markgillott808]

How To with Doc yes it was! So instead of watering in pre emergent right after applying since I am spraying for weeds also I need to wait for a day or next rain to let weed killer set in? 1st year homeowner so thanks for patience

[@Puddycat00]

Of course I’m subbing.

[@tishjackson897]

I have the worlds worst zoysia lawn. Can I apply these same steps and products? Also, one area seems to have no zoysia left. Is this also the time to reseed if i have bare areas? ...and how will I do that along with pre-emergent? Please come save me in Chattanooga, TN! Ha

[@Hercislas]

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

[@HowTowithDoc]

Always helps at ANYTIME... but not doing one

[@j0.ZEF-Who]

@@HowTowithDoc What if your yard is 100% weeds ? Just bought 3 months ago first house living on budget .... should I seed after or before feed if I follow plan?

[@Chu_on_This]

Where's the link for the area calculator? It's not on your website.

[@HowTowithDoc]

Just put it up. Forgot. Thanks

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

[@brittneylambert7950]

I live in TX and have a yard that I am trying to get under control. Would you recommend doing the kill, prevent, feed now and then also putting out a pre emergent closer towards October?

[@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.
