[@SilverCymbal]

@@tranelunger7758 I really appreciate that. You can use it on grass or bare dirt or beds. Just avoid overspray on plants. If you get too close, use a piece of cardboard as a shield and then it takes the stress away if you are close. Hope this helps and thanks for watching.

Just wanted to let you know I took your steps and this fall, my yard looks at least 75% better than what I came in with. Tenacity is amazing - got rid of my crabgrass and ground ivy, and most of my dandelion. I spot sprayed for weeds August 1 and again August 15 to hit what I missed. I aerated (this was hard on a hilly lawn, but next year I will use a billy goat or outsource this part) September 13, and put down limestone then - I have a lot of moss and pine needles to deal with. I overseeded the next day with Pennington Contractor's Mix. Fertilized a week later. Watered twice a day for about 2 weeks after seeding. Then every 3 days or so for another couple weeks. Was ready to mow by week 3... there was over 6 inches of growth. I basically haven't stopped bagging weekly clippings since... helps me get all the leaves off my heavily wooded lawn. It's not perfect, but my husband is impressed with what I've accomplished in a single season with minimal investment. I wish I could post my before and after pics. Guys, if you live in New England.... Silver Cymbal's tips will help you get your lawn better. These steps worked for me. I am no longer embarrassed of my lawn. Thank you Silver Cymbal!

I'd avoid any contractors mix. It's usually fast growing sometimes contains annual grasses that germinate early and look good for that season and die off the next year. They also usually are the cheapest and have more weeds. His advice on grass seed has been very accurate for me.

So mine has been nice and green but I have had to water it here and there to keep it from starting to Brown in between the rains. And I also have zoysia grass so it always dies and turns brown and dormant in the fall and winter, so that will be coming soon for me. But it is fun taking care of the lawn I think. Many people see it as a nuisance but it's kind of relaxing to me to go out and mow the grass and weed the flower beds.

As a professional lawn care company, I recommend everything in this video. He does a great job, very thorough. I only add that "new lawn nutrients" can be added prior to a lawn renovation, while seeding, or after. Try a granular bio char prior to renovation.

[@sendforacar9323]

You want a blend of different grasses. That way if it gets a disease it won't wipe out your entire lawn. Set a timer to water just before sun up. This will cut down on mold and overall disease. If you aerate it's a must to keep the clippings after you mow. This will add nitrogen and provide coverage from the sun and hold enough moisture, not too much for mold, to help with new seed. I worked at a large lawn care company all throughout college. Their methods were backed by years of science. Last tip keep your mower at top height. This will allow the grass to naturally chock out new weeds reducing the need for chemical sprays.

I kind of wish you were more specific on timing. If you or anyone can please answer this question for me I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!

[@wking8]

Best soup to nuts explanation for a beginner overwhelmed with weeds and what to do. Thank you!

[@NoMore9to5Work]

Why the F*** do people dislike this video? Video is top notch. Very informative and well detailed.

[@SilverCymbal]

I appreciate that a lot.

[@allmightygreat1892]

I definitely completely agree on that comment

[@allmightygreat1892]

and everything that can cause a really thin sparse lawn is using a sprinkler system too much too often it depletes the nutrients so a lack of fertilization will also cause a poor looking lawn and once the lawn is established it's best to water heavy one time per week instead of light waterings everyday this will force the roots to go deep and top growth equals root development in about 3 in of root development for seed to make it through the summer so that's why it's best not to seed during the summer. your advice is pinpoint accuracy for success

There are a lot of negative people in the world that just hate anything and everything. Lot's of people get upset that videos are suggested to them that they don't want so they just down vote them. Basically it comes down to people who get or are easily offended.

100% sent this to my parents who are starting to think of a backyard Reno. thank you for this incredibly simple and informative video! ps...your yard looks STUNNING!!!

[@korey9498]

Going to use these methods on my suffering grass here in the SW USA. Dried out, dead, and thatched. Lots of work. I’ll be back in a number of months to report progress.

[@JessicaJLandi]

After we put thick layers of woodchips all under our bushes/trees at one edge, we noticed our lawn got nicer. It seems like the woodchips not only fertilized the ground under them; but seeped into the lawn next to it. And ooh! I just got Black Beauty seed this week.

[@rileyseely4191]

Little tip for all of you, he touched on it but its very important. You need to do your best to keep the lawn constantly damp at the minimum for 2 weeks, not sopping wet, if it feels like a water bed when you step on it youre either going to intoduce disease or drown your grass effectively wasting your time.

[@danb3080]

Spot on video! I prepped and applied just as you noted. Had a really nice first cut back in November but the big gains are made right now in spring 2021. Pretty thick right now and hopefully gets a darker green soon. Thanks from ny!!

[@angelyianne1444]

I just renovated my lawn for the 1st time ever, used aeration, over seeding, starter fertilizer and so on, your videos were very helpful. Let’s see how it goes 🤓🙏🏻

[@jennieredrose5819]

How did it go?

Thank you. We will be starting the program this fall. Looking forward to the results. Cheers Cymbal!

[@Paul_Wetor]

Finally, a lawn care video that shows before and *after*. I've been looking at several today and they show what steps they took, but never showed the results.

[@SilverCymbal]

I hate those ones too. Sorry to say this but most of them are fake just looking to make a video. My videos are always the real deal.

[@melfuz]

@@SilverCymbal yup! This one is a keeper! Easy to follow too ...thanks!

[@SilverCymbal]

@@melfuz Thank you so much, I just made an updated version these with extra info based on hundreds of comments and feedback, check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIC8gmathq6heLM

[@melfuz]

@@SilverCymbal Awesome! Thank you..I'm there! 😁

[@MrJeepinZeke]

This is quite a bit to go over but it gave me a good base of what needs to happen. My biggest issue with starting is leveling. I’ve got a big dip in my backyard where a tree trunk used to be. There’s also quite a bit of variation. Once I get that figured out I think this process in the video will get me where I want to be. Thanks!

[@jcisnero485]

Thank you so much for explaining how to pick up the loosened thatch. I've watch other videos and the didn't say how, your instructions were very helpful.

Silver Cymbal absolutely a satisfying result indeed. Maybe i’ll put a plant on my balcony🤪

[@camarokurt]

So glad I saw your video! I was about to Round-up my whole lawn and start over. I will try this. I am one of those guys who kept using different seed, because I could never remember what I last used. and my lawn is very patchy.

[@SilverCymbal]

Glad it helped. I think you will be much happier in the end this way.

[@maris7236]

wow that is a beautiful lawn , i wrote down the tips you provided in this video. My lawn looks terrible i am in the south and its mostly sand poor dirt.. i am going to attempt to try all of those steps and see how it goes. You did a great job with this video and your lawn, thank you!

[@Strafe007]

I look forward to trying this method on my lawn. I will share a link when it's finished. Thank you for the informative video!

[@Pak4Life007]

Great video !!! Love the way u explain everything for the weekend Warriors - My lawn looks that bad I’m gonna start the process this spring . Thanks !!!

[@Pak4Life007]

Can you please give a link for the water sprinkler you used in the video

[@ayanti]

I stumbled on your video about tenacity and bought everything you listed. Can't wait to try this. Video seems tailor made for my situation thanks!!

[@SilverCymbal]

That's great. Glad it will be helpful. Thank you

[@vitriew]

Don't forget to report back..like to hear.

[@ayanti]

@@vitriew most certainly will!

[@nycb303]

i watched your video and today have green shoots in my aerated holes. i have sprinklers and it’s still cool enough here in eastern long island that spring seeding seems to be just fine. Thank you!!!

[@collinmc90]

I'm a first time home owner right now. Can't wait to make my lawn look great. I've got a whole garden and native plants ready to go just waiting on this final cold snap (hopefully) to be over.

[@eddiemad30]

I have no intention on doing this to my lawn. I'm just enjoying his hard work.

[@SilverCymbal]

Nothing wrong with that, I appreciate you watching.

Thsnk you

[@johnneucere7161]

Great work on the before and after. How your lawn looked to begin with reminds me of what DR Horton lawns look like since they absolutely refuse to put any type of weed prevention down before putting down sod. Its all about going as fast as possible and throwing down sod on top of weed infested lots.

[@Modioman69]

Yes! I have a D.R. Whoreson house and my lawn is just like the before example but a bit worse. DR Horton is the worst home builder I’ve dealt with and it’s like dealing with the mafia. Slimy goons try to bully and manipulate you when you have a house built it’s a nightmare.

[@MC77921]

Very nice, glad to have you watching my video from Australia. Thank you!

[@lou8891]

Great video. Ive bin doing this for the last 2 seasons an bin useing black beauty ultra. Lawn was a mess when i first bought my new house an my results have bin getting better. Getting ready for next month

[@SilverCymbal]

Very cool to hear. it's some good grass seed for sure.

[@sethjohnson]

This was very helpful! My lawn and landscaping beds got away from me this year so I’m trying to end the season on a high note.

[@jamesdebaggis9856]

This was so helpful thank you my lawn looks like what yours used to look like and I’m so frustrated that the lawn looks the same so I took notes and I’m going to start working on the lawn in September thanks again

[@timharkness4656]

I followed this advice and it worked great! Got the weeds killed. Then over Labor day weekend, aerated and watered, etc. I now have a luscious green lawn. Just fantastic!

[@UncleFester2240]

[@delia1463]

Thank you for your video. I love my yard and my garden . I keep it nice but I just realized all this time I've been stressing out over my trees and lawn is dry even thou I water. Seeing these videos showed me my Gardner isn't doing his job. My yard is supposed to be cared for yet I'm doing it. He only cuts the dead lawn and blows his hair dyer.

[@mikedaley2882]

I can't wait to try this. I took notes . Awesome video man. I've tried for 5 years basically making every dam mistake u mentioned.
