Hey, Allen! Thanks for the amazing videos! I discovered them today while i was researching tips for my new lawn. My wife and I are excited to have a great lawn in the near future. Keep up the great work!

[@Speeddemon3]

By far the best explained grass laying technique and product coverage I've ever seen. Thank you!!

[@robininman5643]

I love your style and the way you interact with your audience. I feel like I am right there with you. Thanks for your time and explaining things the way you do...

[@mmacejko929]

Watching you work on your lawn while it's snowing here in Ohio... jealous as hell... great video and good luck with the grow!

[@AlvinC-sz3li]

Living in the US for 5 years and becoming a homeowner for 2 years, just started taking care of my little lawn, thanks for your video.

[@Max-po5sx]

don't stop making videos Man! I watch almost every single one I enjoy it a lot. I have many years in sport turf maintenance, your videos are always spot-on. 😎

[@joeguilfoyle1922]

Great Video. Would've been nice to see status update every week or so and a final picture of before and after.

[@groussac]

Thanks Alan. Right in the middle of refurbishing my lawn as I take a break to watch this. Lessons learned: lay on the seed; use the sticky stuff especially on slopes. The connecting with the lawn part I've already done.

[@pingman2]

You have to be one of the most thorough and clear speakers I have ever listened to. I don't know what you do for a living but, you ought to be a professional Speaker. Your videos are very informative and very entertaining with some of your antics. I also love all of the hand gestures, numbers Etc. I have watched many of your videos and have gotten a lot of very useful tips from you,,,Thank you very much for all you do for the public.

[@Explicit626Beats]

Thank you! I needed this video. I threw down some Fescue seed on my lawn that had large bare spots about 3 weeks ago and noticed that I should have never followed the instructions on my seed packaging. I should have threw down much more. With that being said... Round 2 starts tomorrow! Along with Step 5 of your Cool Lawn Program.

[@gijo5088]

great advice. You was talking about seeds washing into street from watering. Got a easy fix for you... When you are raking, you want to rake parallel to the road.. this is why farmers don't plant up and down hills, they plant sideways on hills so water running down don't cause a wash out.. the water will stay in the valleys.. Since you are planting grass you want those seeds to get caught just like hunting for gold... it will get hung up in the ripples.

[@lanabrooks1554]

Thanks for this information, I live in Florida with sandy soil like yours and this was a big help to me for patching up bare spots.

[@tdogmullen]

Hell Allyn you have the best lawn care videos online. I'm hooked. Thank you 🤙🏻

[@andrewf.909]

Love your videos man, keeps us northerners dreaming of spring.

[@Thelawncarenut]

it will be here before you know it!

[@broth_78]

The Lawn Care Nut , LCN, in one of your videos you had a grass plug puller. It pulled out square plugs and you transplanted them into different spots in our yard. Where can I find one? I can only find a small round one, it's just a tube! And the grass plugs are much smaller. I'm pretty sure it's designed to dig holes for bulbs, but they also try to pass it off as a grass plug puller. Please send me a link (or send me your grass plugger) Thank you! P.S. Going to throw down some milorganite! But first I will be measuring my lawn to get some more accurate numbers and better results. Thanks for all the videos Justin

[@armyguy9735]

I am growing fruit trees and once they matured, they'll produce a canopy of shade. What type of grass seed are best under fruit trees? P.S. It's to grow in between allies

[@wirehot09]

lol life in new york

[@Odood19]

Kicking back with a stogie and watering the grass is evening ritual for sure, man. Good tips!

[@jonathanasdell4539]

I love how you can find tutorials like this on youtube that you used to only learn by training with someone experienced in the field.

[@jmakc3541]

I found KZbin when my dad died. I had no one else to call to figure out how to do the stuff I didn't know how to do...

[@bh25jay]

Man I love wathing your videos. Love your usefull tips ! Btw your shooting and editing skills are getting better and better ! Thanks again.

[@allenmek]

Great intro. My daughter loved it. She's a mini LCN. Very entertaining and fun. Also good facts.

[@Thelawncarenut]

love it bro!

[@MarcoGonzalez-vt7wx]

Dude, so glad I came across your videos. I'm working on my own frankenlawn.

[@JakeTheLawnKid]

Franken lawns coming back! love it!

[@mariochesser7849]

I used to work for Scott's Lawn Service for 4 yrs in '16. Anyways, I really enjoy your vids, very knowledgeable

[@prestigelawncare6657]

cool video Alan, can't wait to see the results. Back in the 90s I was living in Dubai where I worked, the lawn guy came over to our yard where I lived in a company owned house to lay some grass seed, temperatures were like 140 in the shade which made me laugh as I thought the seed would never germinate, two weeks later he was mowing the lawn!!! I wish I knew what seed he used as it was amazing.

[@gr6903]

I'm impressed by your knowledge and would love to see how it turned out

[@Cemi2usa]

I enjoy your passion in makeing these videos. Thanks for your tips.

[@simonhenry7415]

I can't stop watching your videos mate - you are a PRO !!!!

[@fb1781]

Great video Al and thanks again for all your help with my lawn. I'm ready for spring to get here to aerate, overseed and get the lawn fully thickened.

[@Thelawncarenut]

you are on the right track my friend

[@airforcelogistics3301]

Once again priceless info. Im back and forth to seed stores, farmers market and home depot. The prices and info are staggering from each. Overwhelming. I have been saving tremendously just by re watching you and a few other youtubers diy. Thanks. so i dont need to spend $185 for a pallet of Soil3 to re seed my 2100 sq ft front yard of Centipede here in Atlanta Ga...I have many bald spots totalling about 1000 sq ft through out. Im going to look into Pete Moss and Patch master.

[@Ephortless]

Great vid bro getting me pumped for this year I'm going to do a total renovation

[@MarlzJinx]

Ah! Now I get why I've watched 4 of your vids in a row and knowledge has eased in without the frustration and saying aloud things like " ok dude, get to it" or " how did I fall into this rabbit hole of someone's annoying effort? " Not today!! Ive efficiently gained knowledge that oftentimes alludes me or draaags me along in my quests. You're military. Quick to the point and in order. A teaching machine. I thank you Sir.

[@NathanMan]

Your awesome Allyn! Can't wait to see frankenlawn back to full power!

[@The_Notorious_R.O.B]

GREAT video! Love the sunset footage in downtown Vinoy/StPete at the end. Beautiful!

[@JonathanThompson1320]

Dude. You are amazing! I am a new homeowner and I killed my grass in the first year. I watched so many of your videos today. I got a basic plan and going to start today. Mow frequently and water regularly for the boys!

[@catsaregreatbutdogsarebett2979]

Here in Missouri grass is already starting to grow! it's like early spring! can't wait to pull out the mower!

[@CxStark]

in southern california its already feeling warm..the grass is getting greener.. im excited to see the trees grow taller too by the end of the summer

[@goldigums]

planting season is almost here sir, greetings from Columbus Ohio!!!

[@Saynt614]

Man... just got under contract for my first ever home. The backyard and front yard have been totally neglected! Seriously it would make you cry. These videos will help me out to bring my lawn back from the dead.

[@Thelawncarenut]

congrats on your new home bro!

[@Saynt614]

Thanks! :D

[@mickyunit]

Captain Cartman how long did it take for you to resurrect the lawn?

[@nickshutte8369]

Your enthusiasm is infectious!

[@broth_78]

I picked up those fertilizing pellets and put them down on my new grass. New grass doubled in size in just a few days. Thanks for your videos, tips and help. I'm trying to dominate my neighborhood, but my yard is in tough shape. Good thing is nobody else cares about their lawn so it should be easy, just will take a few seasons.

[@marvinelder3828]

Good video. I have a lot of small areas to seed and your video gave me a good heads up on what to do. Just need to find some seed accelerator somewhere.

[@ej_bk2thebay612]

Great video man. That was a great shot at the end as well.

[@williamrgrant]

You always have great music in your videos! Excellent content as well :)

[@mikefm4]

I love this channel so much. I always get super into these videos around spring time. I'm currently doing a full backyard rehab up in Ohio. Only problem this year is it's almost May and it's still winter. I don't even see buds on trees yet. This weather is border line scary. Farmers must be nervous.

[@charlottebrotherton2785]

Mm lol are you doing good today with your

[@yathatisgood]

Cool video. I would highly recommend using fleece to cover. Keeps a more even temperature, Keeps birds off, softens big water droplets and retains more moisture. 5 days germination. even In summer. Watered lightly twice a day. No fancy expensive products!

[@JasonKavetis]

Excellent video. I'm downloading this one. Very helpful. Greetings from Glenview , IL. !!!

[@pdeugene]

Awesome! I was a photojournalist in the USAF too. Station at Scott AFB from 92-96z was General Fogleman’s personal photog! Lol! Thanks for the lawn care tips. Just bought a house in Denver and it’s looking pretty amazing thanks to you!

[@pdeugene]

Fescue grows best here in Colorado. Rich lawn (Home Depot) sells really good seed that is working great for me. Why Richlawn? It’s made in Colorado for Colorado soils

[@dragonz83088]

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. happy father's day.

[@funkydunky1]

I followed your seeding plan almost to the t. Only thing i did off the reservation was cook the weed seeds in the soil by covering it with a 4mil clear plastic a whole month in the hot summer before seeding in september. The results were phenominal. Very uniform tttf with no weeds with a well timed tenacity app.

[@Thelawncarenut]

solarizing is a great tool. I wish I had more time to do it myself.

[@matthewwatkins3760]

gotta love @ave what a funny dude. good work

[@baskets8429]

Awesome video , finally learned what I need to do for my lawn

[@ahcs2001]

As always, good video Allyn! I love the 17+ min videos! Please dont forget to include the 'too much organic matter' eluded to in the last video. .. Full disclosure: My current lawn is on hard pan clay subsoil left after construction. A 50/50 compost/blackdirt mix was ordered before 100% kbg. I was dominating before snow fall! I am always open to learning more and am very curious if my attempt to boost OM was a rookie mistake.

[@Skykingsound]

Damn son, your videos are amazing. You should write a book. Seriously. Like a reference book when we need facts fast.

[@prithvirajfan]

Thanks Nut, wonderful video. I am interested to see how did this seeding turn out? please post the video.

[@mikenoblet8783]

Good job explaining what I need to do to seed 20' X 60' lawn.

Cool shades Airman. You just got a new subscriber!

[@Thelawncarenut]

welcome to the team!

[@berzirk]

Wait a second, your tips are phenomenal and have me jazzed to grow an amazing lawn AND you're a cigar guy? Just finished a stogie while watching your videos. ...I love you - in the most heterosexual way possible. Subscribed. Thanks for a great channel!

[@jteaguelll]

Thanks I have 13 to work and I can work on my lawn everyday....cant wait....

[@BlakeLarson]

That voice at the beginning took me right back to playing "Crazy Taxi" the old video game. Awesome!

[@reygomezhvac8346]

Good video, I can't wait to start throwing it down and mowing my lawn. Nothing beats that smell of fresh cut grass. Got to dominate thy Neighbor!!

[@Thelawncarenut]

Boom!

[@mrwilson1553]

Allyn, thanks for your service. I'm stationed over here in Wiesbaden, Germany and my dog destroyed my lawn. I'm going to plant some seed this spring but wonder if you had any suggestions as to which grass to use. And also, how early is too early to start. Currently, the temp is in the mid 30s most days. But in a few weeks, it should start getting to the 40 degree average. Any thoughts?

[@paladin4570]

Reasonable tips. I live in Eastern Washington in the Pacific Northwest. We are having a late spring. One thing you failed to mention was seed eating birds. I pride myself on a nice rich green lawn but I’ve had those birds pick away with peat moss and make me have to patch a patch. A dummy plastic owl perched above has proven worthwhile to me for this.

[@Bsaint]

Should do a follow up on this spot, would love to see how its doing now.

[@ericcarcamo6201]

Lmao when he stand up! “Oh god” reminds me of my pops! And amazing video thanks for the information 🙏!

[@williamvankessel8799]

Thank you for the great work .wish there's was some way I could keep my lawn looking good year round ... any tips would be great

[@princessdiamond123]

What's up Allyn?, I'm checking in from Glenwood Il., thanks for tips on dominating the neighbors lawn, it's working for me. I've been tuning into your videos a couple yrs. now...since getting my new home. My neighbor is very competitive about lawn&flowers...but now she looks sick when she looks at how green&healthy my lawn gets in the spring, summer(well u know summer depends on rainfall up here so it's a toss up, lol) &fall! But, I can't wait to dominate her again in a couple months, hehehe, lol😆😊😄! My hubby watches you now because, well I may know more about lawncare than he does now, haha! Thanks much!😅😆

[@mml1224]

This is how you make a video, no corny music, very clear communication, good instructions. I follow this guy at his other house where he a lawn better than the President of USA.

[@CKBowling1]

I am soooo glad I found this channel.

[@CountryMash]

This series is perfect for what I'm trying to do in my front yard. I have a small lawn with a windy cement/pebble border that I want to remove and have one big lawn. Once I pull out the border and all of the pebble rock, what should I use to level it out? I'm guessing I'll be a few inches low once I dig it all out.

[@mariogarciacantu6265]

Thank you for your service brother!

[@tristanhiers9416]

Just got our first house in Orlando with a nice sized corner lot. Only thing is the grass isn't great. Just subbed and will be watching for more great tips. Thanks

[@matsteel2292]

Hi mate I am in Brisbane Australia in the middle of a very hot summer I live on a corner block and all down the side of the house is now dirt a combination of shade and very little rain, have been watching your tips and going to try them will let you know how it goes, Thank you very informative.

[@landoncrews1460]

From one vet to another, thanks for your service.

[@HipFitSoooGood]

Thank you for this info! We're working on our lawn in Philadelphia. We did put an inch of topsoil down first, then seed. Then it poured rain and half of it washed away! So we put more seed down. Fingers crossed. I'm subbed and liking! You are a good lookin' man, by the way. I'm happily married, but thought I should say that anyways, ha ha!

[@blackceasar2141]

HipFit SoooGood I'm in Philly as well, I removed all grass and weeds from yard.. my yard is adjacent to my neighbor's yard. Her yard is has lots of weeds. I'm going to Primex today for grass seeds and lime. My husband said, I should just purchase sod.

[@WørldyDemøn]

another great video frankenlawn it's alive

[@Keyit0]

Excellent video, I'm in the same situation with some rocks and bare mud backyard, I was very concerned until you said small rocks r fine and grass grows out in 25-30 days. It's been a week and seeds look the same when I planted, I thought I failed!

[@voodoochild6741]

Very informative.. great shot at the end!

[@hawkeye9475]

Re-visiting this video in 2022. Can't really say grass seed is "cheap" anymore! $150 (summer 2021) vs $210 (May 2022) for GCI Turf Cool Blue 45 pounder. Thank you for all of the great information and content over the years.

[@lilydal7083]

Great teacher !!!! ! Great video!!!!! Thank you so much. 👍

[@jennifermolan2723]

Thank you for sharing this video. You have given me the confidence now that I can do this on my own & hope that I’ll have grass by the end of June!! How long should I wait to plant seed after I have put down a weed treatment?

[@LlyleHunter]

I've never choked a lawn yet but I have choked up a lawn mower with grass being too thick. I use a rotary spreader for fertilizing most of the time unless it gas an herbicide in it in which case I use a drop spreader so I don't hit plants and shrubbery with herbicide. I always seed with a drop spreader. It's still the best way to obtain the most even coverage and coverage exactly where you want it.

[@mahilamaseli415]

I approve of these sunglasses - the white frame ones were "distracting"... great vids thanks man... :)

[@rbflyboy22]

Thanks Allen, will give this a try!

AvE is a dude of dudes. I always learn something from him, not always good :)

[@dochazel2]

agreed on an "after" shot thanks for the video

[@jason-ge5nr]

I'm excited to see the new sprouts. I used to bristle when you said "seed is cheap" but after you explained it... Yeah... Its cheap.

[@Thelawncarenut]

awesome bro!

[@mikeheathercerovski]

Just found your channel and love it!!! Just bought a house and the lawn is a mess will be using your tips this spring.

[@Thelawncarenut]

good luck and have fun!

[@mikeheathercerovski]

The Lawn Care Nut always fun in the lawn!lol

[@samanthafranklyput]

I am from Canada and the season recommendations made me laugh out loud haha! No disrespect... I totally understand that it makes sense for other climates, but we cannot plant ANYTHING safely until the beginning of June. Even then, we have still seen snow lol. Great videos!

[@nineteenseventy7967]

Really good video. Really Helpful! Well done! Thank you! You're a complete nutcase! :D

[@adamskialbright433]

Love your vids man. But I live in western N.Y. and we only have snowy winter and hot as summer. No real spring or fall (they last about a week each) to start seed. Will try this now, end of May/early June, and see how it works. Must dominate my neighbors. Wish me luck!

[@vanskata15]

Thank you for referencing AvE. For that, you have my subscription.

[@Dubiels]

Any thoughts on dormant seeding? This video just reminded me about it, since I'm in the Midwest

[@clgrm1]

Good work Alan..just raked my lawn to death...so best I get busy with over overseeding. I'll throw the manual away and stick throwing down as the pigeons are getting in the way of progress !

[@todaysrock4208]

Tremendous effort. I'd like to see masters green in a video.

[@lalajohnson7194]

Welcome to Florida! Glad I found your channel! Because lawn care is a little different down here. But you got great information on how to reseed. I plan on watching more videos. What's your insight on using Lime for grass. When should it be applied? Should it be considered for yards with or without trees? Or before/ after resending?

[@gardenexpress9682]

Awesome videos dude !
