How To Have A Beautiful Lawn

[@austinpatrick2682]

I like that you didn't overreact about the kids killing the bushes. You didn't say this but I know it was in your mind. You would rather have them mess up a few things in the yard because they were playing outside instead of on their butts playing video games.

[@GCITurf]

LOL Yeah....you read my mind bro

[@ssweb915]

Since he is using Roundup would not want the kids on the lawn

[@austinpatrick2682]

All you foreign scammers can leave us alone. You are an obvious fake with a dozen fake accounts. Get a life

[@Treppe85]

Absolutely love how you were teaching. Not rude, disrespectful or degrading. Simply to the point and supportive. In lawn business that's what matters.

[@brianrehkop1909]

Mr. Pete. I have to say I have started binge watching all of your videos because I am trying to get my lawn looking great. You are by far the best in my opinion. Also I have always wondered how to get that nice crisp edge on my landscaping and watching your videos unveiled that mystery for me. Thank you for all you do and god bless.

[@drewpurvis4195]

22:25 Jaw hit the floor. This is the money shot right there! Your yard is immaculate compared to the whole neighborhood. WOW. Nice work!

[@bwr3rd]

Your yard looks magnificent!. I appreciate the pride you take in the care and appearance of your property! Well Done!

[@babieangels]

The lawn is to die for! Beautiful!

[@adamlewis6597]

Brother, you’ve got the most beautiful pieces of property I’ve seen in a while. God bless!

[@jerryf2426]

PA Lawn Guy. Love that you get the kids out to help you on a Saturday. Best thing you can do for them! Teaches them responsibility, etc. We did it for our children and they/we have not been sorry; they are hard workers now 30+ years later and good citizens.

[@nobrakes7567]

You got a heck of a spread brother! Only thing missing is a pond. Beautiful

[@macylandscapingretired]

Great teaching and patience with your kid there on the video. Also the aerial views are killer.

[@justhebigidea]

Talk about making your neighbors look bad! Lol. God Bless. Your best plant is those children - I love how you water them! Great work and great channel.

[@isiahphillips7232]

Dad of the year man! Lessons are learned in the yard. Appreciate your skill set on the lawn and in the realms of fatherhood.

[@Reid0225]

This is exactly how I grew up my Dad had a lawn care service and from 8-25 I did lawn service, we sold out and now own a Toro dealership in Mississippi I love your videos and how you work your kids reminds me of my Dad and they are very fond memories. Dad made hustlers of me and my brother and it makes me happy to see people still do that with their kids. I’m now 32 with kids of my own and this is exactly how I do my son. He’s 3 but he loves to work with Dad when baby girl gets old enough she’ll get some herself. Keep up the amazing work man! On a side not any ideas on how to get fescue to grow down here in south Mississippi, any known hybrids that will grow in the heat. Like I said earlier love your work!

[@GCITurf]

yes sir mr. Reid...teaching kids work ethic is crucial.....I have a few guys growing my fescue in Texas...I cant give you a firm answer on it until after one season....

[@Reid0225]

GCI Turf Services Well I’m gonna continue watching your videos, as soon as you get some time on the grow, do you mind doing an update video to let us know how your turf does in hot climates.

[@GCITurf]

@@Reid0225 my grass does very well in the heat...i can do an update but i already have a on of videos on turf and heat

[@Reid0225]

GCI Turf Services well I think I’m gonna give it a shot then, can I contact you via your website I’m thinking about giving this seed of yours a shot and if it does well, I might would be interested in your fertilizer blends/products as well. Maybe I could help you get the word out in my neck of the woods on your products, being I have contact with a lot of the commercial guys in the area. I like your ethic and the fact that your not scared to espouse your Christian views man that means a lot to me! And btw the aerial shots of your property in this video are Gorgeous!

[@GCITurf]

@@Reid0225 thank you sir...God has been good to me and i want the world to know...email me [e-mail]

[@Doober80]

The property is looking real nice with those pine needles, Pete! Have a great Sunday and next week!

[@philthelawnman]

👍 loved that drone shot.

[@markaraujo06]

i don't like stripes but you're making the neighborhood so jealous.i rather without stripes.the lawn is perfectly green i love it,.

[@debbiesineath1952]

Your yard is beautiful!

[@DieselDan09]

Sooo information in this video so glad I found this channel

[@OneLife...OneChance...333]

It’s my 3rd video I’ve seen of yours, man your pretty amazing at what you do. That’s for sure💯🔥💯🔥

[@karisblake]

Wow is all I can say.... that drone footage at the end is great. Pure beauty

[@terrihillard7656]

Thanks for shairing. How thick do you lay your pine needles. ( inches high). Thanks for teaching. How often do you lay it.

[@TexasRanchu]

Man..the drone shot at the beginning is the money shot

[@jerryf2426]

PA Lawn Guy. Better/more skilled at using the the blower than I ever was. Great job.

[@yolo7207]

Beautiful show of love and work ethic. Great Dad

[@Eric.Mercado]

Insane amount of hard work, attention to detail, and nurturing on full display with this yard/property! Your amount of pride and dedication shows vividly through every portion of your property. I've never seen turf/landscaping/bedding/curb appeal/landscape design/property lines... All look this brilliant at one address, EVER. So breath-taking that it actually looks computer enhanced during the ending's drone shots! But yet the landscaping artistry still wasn't the best part of the video...that belonged to your parenting & patience with your young ones. The general idea of passing down knowledge & wisdom becomes more obsolete generation after generation. Beautiful thing to witness, the teaching of morals/values/ ethics/responsibility/character/ appreciation/ and by far the most important thing... Anti-entitlement!

[@Grassology-vs1hn]

Hey Pete, it’s just not fair how beautiful your yard look but you put the work in and I love it👍🏿

[@joshsales4610]

Love the videos man! Its important to have pride in your home and property. Keep up the awesome work brother!! Thank ya and God bless.

[@santosdelgado8909]

Love watching your videos can't get enough God bless

[@reallybadaim118]

Fantastic work with your boys.

[@KP-rn4om]

Love your work!

[@annmarie1181]

I would love to know the type of grass you have? Thank you

[@TheLawnWhisperer]

When do you recommend doing a renovation, spring or fall? And will your grass seed do well in south central Indiana?

[@trevormuggeridge4560]

Great video Pete .The yard and gardens look great from the drone footage. Great family effort.Thanks for sharing.😁👍👍

[@GCITurf]

Dang bro! You watching them all in one day LOL thanks!!

[@thinktank8584]

PLEASE TELL ME WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR STICK EDGER... AND WHAT KIND OF GRASS DO YOU USE? . LOOKS GREAT!!!

[@imhooks]

New subscriber here. Absolutely love your channel! Loved how you were teaching your little one. You've inspired me to get my 7 year old out and helping me spruce things up.

[@PaulsPrimeCuts]

Looks great buddy ! We always say that putting out those nice fresh pine needles on a landscape is like armoraling the tires after you wash the car ... it just finishes it off .

[@dorothyandrews8872]

Your video says how to have a wonderful lawn, but you talked mainly about the beds. By your accent, I guess you live in the Carolina's so maybe your winters are not too bad. Here in Canada we have pretty harsh winters which take its toll on the grass. I would love more information about how you get your lawn to look so good. I have a rural property and know from the size of your property you spend a lot of time on your lawns and they really do show it they are so lush. Do you have a video where you explain how you feed and maintain your lawn. Thanks

[@monkeyslawncareandgardenin473]

Parents need to train there children! Great job Pete

[@wood-b7869]

Thanks for the motivation. Just went out and purchased a few bags of milorganite and a few other things. Mission is best yard in the neighborhood. Six months in a new house so it worth the time and money now. Different ball game down here in this Texas weather.

[@OgleBilly]

I use a Cub Cadet edger and also use pine needles. I never could get my needless to look ‘neat’ on the edge. Seeing you use your blower and square edged shovel to tamp the needles down on the edging to get that neat look is a great idea! How often do you remulch? Thanks for the info! And good job with your kids!

[@danielcolby7917]

Really like the clean lines look going to start with the front lawn first. Great work!

[@neilfpv]

Hey Pete. What type of mulch did you put in the first part of the video? Ah, I just heard you at 12:30 say "pine needles"

[@CDAndrews]

Turf is so thick it sounds like you are walking on snow!

[@IBLEEDBLUEFORTML1]

Pete, I really like that pine needle look, unfortunately here in Ontario Canada we're somewhat limited with what we have to use for beds like that.. I do use some mulch around the yard but the wind really kicks it around in certain areas and makes a huge mess.. I've started to use a lot more river rock etc, with armor stone edging in those problem areas where the mulch used to blow. Still looks awesome and makes for very easy maintenance. Gotta throw it out there too, getting your kids involved like that is excellent.. I remember being a kid on our farm and helping out with the chores etc. I wouldn't trade those experiences or early mornings for anything these days. You grow up to have a lot of respect, patience, and knowledge through all of that... those things are invaluable these day in my opinion, more kids need to be brought up like that instead of in front of the TV or a video game 24/7. Anyways, 1 quick question, maybe you can incorporate it into a video? how do you go about re-edging your beds with a string trimmer or stick edger now once you have them all finished... without making a huge mess of your pine needles by throwing grass etc back onto them or throwing the pine needles all over the grass??. Cheers from Ontario Canada, keep up the great work on these videos!.

[@ItsTheJahJah]

I wish we could grow this kind of grass in central Florida :/

[@fusfea]

Question for ya, doesn't the pine straw change the ph of the soil if and when it breaks down?

[@cs_fl5048]

how did you get those rings sprayed without over spray? I have tried cones and even used a paint roller with the grass killer. I still couldn't avoid killing beyond the line.

[@cs_fl5048]

I miss yards like this. Having moved further south, all we get is centipede and St Augustine, or maybe Zoysia.

[@quijada1545]

Nice job brother. Looking AWESOME!!!

[@benharrison1069]

The aerial shots at the end show how much you are dominating your neighborhood. I would think that, if they could not do it themselves, they would hire you to take care of their lawn/property. Very nice job, Pete! A few videos ago you were helping your next door neighbor and spraying part of their lawn that was up against your lawn. Maybe I missed it, but is there any update on your neighbor's lawn yet?

[@platodimitriadis7808]

I love your lawn and I'm jealous! However, the pine needles wouldn't work for me. I've been working hard to improve my lawn and looks like I have Poa anua? Put some Milo down today still looks ok/good. One of the best in the neighborhood. Love your videos and your outlook on life.

[@FixItWithMe]

What’s the name of those grass like plants u have in ur beds?!? I def want to plant some!!

[@nobrakes7567]

Those lines are crisp

[@tomr9509]

I see the wind question was asked so do you have a problem with the mower wanting to suck them out of the bed when mowing the edges,and how do do keep mice from having a home under there.Can you do a video on other types of mulch.Your place looks great!

[@ac7384]

Is the long leaf pine needles from non colored company on Amazon a good choice. ????They are from tree farm in Alabama Non colored all natural. They have colored ones. Also

[@chrisfink1]

Pete, your property looks amazing. I appreciate how much work it is, especially with a property your size and all that bed square footage! I'm in philly, and trying to incorporate n-ext products into my long time hybrid organic program using starter fertilizer (spring), milorginate (late spring, summer, fall), and nitrogen urea (biweekly late fall). Any recommendations on how to best introduce n-ext products into my monoculture kbg midnight 15k lawn?

[@GCITurf]

Yep air8 in the spring and fall. RGS every time you fertilize. You can also do RGS once a month if your program budget allows

[@joekosak9131]

my gosh your yard is pretty. I love clean lines also. here in Wisconsin, Door County too be exact we had a summer long drought and gosh awful heat and humidity my lawn looks nothing like yours. I wish it did. love the videos.

[@zorro1rr]

Where can I find a temping tool like that? I don't think husky makes that anymore

[@genemanning2236]

Nice! I've never seen pine needles used before? i've only seen mulch.

[@FescueFreak]

Good video! Even better seeing Jaxx out doing his part 👍🏻

[@reggieross4125]

do you have any particular reason for the pine straw over mulch? or is it just your personal preference? Nice work Pete!

[@lawncaremonster1024]

Hey Pete, when you come out of your garage on your left, is that a Japanese maple tree?

[@alainbrouillette7740]

Beautiful job and look , however i wonder how it would look after a few years with the kind of weather we have here in Quebec ?

[@WilliamsonProductio1]

What about the mulch was it you didn’t like? I’m bout to do some landscaping and haven’t decided what to put in beds yet

[@alcredeur]

Is there any advantage to pine straw over wood mulch? Or is it just a matter of preference?

[@GCITurf]

preference

[@tazmankb26]

any concern of using that Round Up around the maple?

[@adamholbrook2281]

I'm wanting to use pine straw here in Ohio. It's not that available and pretty pricey where and when it is. How often do you need to reapply / touch it up? I want to get away from mulch which is what everyone up here uses. Thanks for the videos. Great looking property! Have you done a video tour to Identify all the plants and shrubs?

[@stevealdershof6744]

Have not seen any pine needles sold here in Kansas ..... Need to find them ! Bailed

[@ryanfreitag1489]

Hi Pete. I don't remember if I asked you this before but what kind of grass is it that you have?

[@tavistabb4598]

Hey Pete, big fan... I watch all of your vlogs...I want to covert my yard to tall fescue, do I have to wait until late summer to mid fall to starting killing my current grass and then plant seeds or can I start now. I’m in Chesapeake, Va

[@73h73373r357]

Man them pine needles look good once they lay down.

[@Ninety_Zebras]

Another awesome video! What type of tree is the one with the white bark to the left of your front door? It’s at 22:05. Thanks!

[@ColonelK0rn1]

I suspect it's one of his Natchez Crape Myrtles.

[@Bikersupport]

are you bending grass blade with roller to get a strip?

[@destiny5326]

What is the pine needles for looks or is there a reason? Looks great tho!

[@darylharrison703]

What about using River Rocks ?

[@geneduclos4003]

[@rileylawnnsnowmaintenancel512]

Have a question for u? Would u recommend seeding a weeded invest lawn before lawn application

[@GCITurf]

Riley lawn n snow maintenance &landscape I would not. I would get rid of the weeds first

[@Malcomb35]

There's no way I could live that close to other people lol however that's the nicest yard I've ever seen, how do You get the grass so green?

[@dhix2388]

beautiful lawn is no accident. yours very nice. thanks for your time.

[@sneedoh3186]

Thanks this video was real helpful. keep it up and be bless

[@Grassology-vs1hn]

Do you fert any of your neighbors on your block ?

[@chriskozub8012]

Pete, where do you purchase your pine needles at?

[@ericsodt]

Where can someone pick up those long pine needles, if not from "the box store"? Can you order them online?

[@blueoaklawncare3038]

I assume pine needles are a lot cheaper, vs mulch, on a property your size?

[@imaginenonn37]

You need to install stadium lights so the town can appreciate your lawn 24-7 haha.

[@davidlee927]

Pine needles look great, but it also looks like great hiding spots for critters? any thoughts? Thank you for your videos!

[@GCITurf]

ThankS!! I never have any issues with any type of critters

[@davidlee927]

Where Can I buy some? I am in the Northeast. Anyways I've enjoyed your videos. Keep it up!

[@GCITurf]

I have no clue up your way bud. I would do a search online to see who's in your area

[@johnnyutah1053]

Lawn is looking great Pete. I have a quick question, I put down pre emergent in February so I'm thinking of putting down more preemergent soon. My question is if once I put down pre emergent can I put down fertilizer after I put the pre emergent down?

[@GCITurf]

sure you can. If its liquid pre m put that down after the fert.....if its granular pre m it does not matter which you do first

[@johnnyutah1053]

GCI Turf Services thank you for the reply

[@johncarballo8740]

Thank you Pete very nice video!

[@blackhornet25]

Do you ever discard old pine needles/mulch before adding new or just keep adding new over old pine needles/mulch?

I do not understand what's the needle for 🤔

That academy fert is starting to really flex on the milorganite side of the test plot!!!!

[@viviangerard459]

how do you deal with poa annua in the lawn

[@thomasdreas4122]

How many bales did it take to do your yard? In my area pine needles are not available. What is the price range of a bale? Landscape looks great.

[@TheMan-ud2wq]

Thomas Dreas in North GA it's about 4.30 per bale.

[@GCITurf]

145 bales. I paid $4/bale for these

[@Bluepittt20]

Man that's a beauty great work

[@MyrickWillard7]

Hey Pete... how close can you get the Snapshot granules around Plants/Trees/Shrubs/Flowers? Does it hurt anything if you get some right on the actual Plants/Flowers, or is it best to stay a few inches away from like the Root Ball area? Thanks!

[@GCITurf]

Myrick Willard it’s labeled for pretty much any plant or flower. I have yet to see it do damage to anything. As long as you use the label rates you’re fine

[@BobSmith-dm3vp]

Laughed at 0:40 watching all the Neighbour's lawns

[@TS-zo3uj]

Is Prodiamine spray OK in beds instead? Not sure you explained the use of granular instead of typ spray

[@GCITurf]

I guess..... I have never used prodiamine in beds. I have always used snapshot
