hahahah! I knew it was coming. Make sure to get your grade 1" below your side walks. While you are at it amend your soil to help with that clay soil you have, mix in some sand, compost and top soil. Going to have to use a tiller. Also spring in the NW is the perfect time to renovate, don't listen to all those other 'youtubers' across the country. In their area they hit soil temp of 70F in may, in the NW we don't hit 70F until late july. As long as you keep it moist spring in the NW is the ideal time to renovate. Renovated my back yard at the end of may last year.

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

I'm probably going to be adding some sand and compost but I'm not tilling anything. That opens another can of worms I'm not willing to do. I agree we can get away with doing this in the spring simply because we don't get as hot. 😎

[@PNWLawnGuy]

I’m living through you right now! You’re braver than I am. Awesome to see. Thanks for documenting this 👍

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

Thanks Marc! 👍🏻

[@bryanfelver6125]

I like the challenge you have taken on . It will turn out great. Yard nuts sometimes have to take things into there own hands and go against the odds. You will be just fine.

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

I'm sure it'll be all good... once the weather cooperates 😂

[@BudgetLawns]

Dang dude. You weren't kiddin'! You did bite off a lot this time. It'll all be worth it in the end no doubt. Can't wait to see the final results!

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

I know right? Such a mess. Thanks for watching Travis 👊🏼

[@GirLzLawn]

What an undertaking! Wishing you a fruitful return on the time and effort. 👊🏽💪🏽

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

Hopefully all this work will pay off 😎

[@jcfitch3194]

Second year on my 7500 sq ft SE Michigan TTTF lawn. Just starting to get something established when suddenly I realize I've got probably 30% of my turf is Triv. Nuking it is not an option as I don't want glyphosate getting into my well. I'm in a country neighborhood where even with my Triv problem I have one of the best looking lawns, so I may be living with it for a while. Good luck with your renovation!

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

Ugh.. that sucks. 🙄

[@stepheneckert4006]

My condolences sir...

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

It's all good. Getting it fixed.

[@Szdday]

2021-Year of the POA!

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

You aren't kidding 😂

[@TheNeighborDominator]

That is a huge job! I hope you have some help! Great video!

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

I've had a little help up to this point but not much. Looks like I'll be doing the rest on my own.👊🏼

[@JasonSeiberlich]

Best of luck. Love me some transformations/renovations.

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

I think after this one, I'm done with it. It's a ton of work.

[@TurfTherapy]

Clean intro bro 👌🏾 You're a bold man for sure, but it will all pay off. I know you're at the point where you are second-guessing every decision you made but it's gonna buff out bro. Well done 👏🌱

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

Thanks Rob. You're right. I'm at a point of "what the heck did I do?" but I'm past the point of no return now. 😕👊🏼

[@jamzach4]

I think I have to do the same thing Nate. It’s like you were talking about MY front lawn. Poa and creeping bent grass. Worse than ever this year. It’s making me crazy !!! Looking forward to watching the progress so I can do the same this fall.

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

Scott, what kind of Poa? That makes a big difference. Poa Annua is a bit easier to deal with.

[@YardGuy]

Dang! Quite the project!

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

Definitely is becoming more than I wanted it to be. 🤷‍♂️

[@YardGuy]

@@PacificNorthwestLawns HA! Usually the way it goes.

[@rickkeeler75]

Western Wa dude here. Don’t sweat the Spring reno. Did one last year. It’s totally fine for us moss backs! I planted seed in May and it was all good! Lots of dedication and loving your channel!

[@rickkeeler75]

Also, need to educate your peeps on Triv vs Poa annua. Triv is the worst...

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

@@rickkeeler75 I agree I need to go over that. There's definitely a big difference.

[@theeapco]

Clean slate to start new!

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

Exactly 👍🏻

[@DIYDad1]

New intro? Looks awesome man! Also screw poa triv that stuff is the devil lol. That and quackgrass I’ve about had it!

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

Yeah I made the new intro over the winter. I've been fortunate to not have to deal with a whole lot of quackgrass. I know it can be terrible though 😳

[@DIYDad1]

@@PacificNorthwestLawns well it looks like you’re doing the reno right at least, when all else fails take the nuclear option. Go big or go home! Very smart to fix the grading issues too might as well just get the whole thing right and then you won’t have to worry for a while. Can’t wait to see the progress! Good luck!

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

Thanks Shawn! 👊🏼

[@bucky5063]

What sucks is when your lazy neighbors lawn brings it back to your new lawn

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

Fortunately my lawn isn't directly connected to any neighbors 😁

[@frankwoodbery2473]

I understand the only reason to grow Poa Trivialis is that it needs almost no sunlight. Only use as a supplement for conventional blends of rye and fescue for the small parts of a lawn in deep shade where little grows well.

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

I would never intentionally plant this stuff myself. I'd rather look at a bare spot.😁

[@NextLevelLawnCare]

oh im experiencing your pain of the renovation in the rain. Last time i rented the skid it snowed.... Today i rented one and we got an inch of rain. But the yard is cleaned up and fresh soil is down!

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

Awesome. I need to check out how your project is going. I think I might have missed a video. 👊🏼

[@NextLevelLawnCare]

@@PacificNorthwestLawns put one up yesterday, ive just been so busy with work i havent had time to edit much. im like 10 videos behind lol.

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

@@NextLevelLawnCare I know the feeling... I put this one together quickly yesterday

[@familybarton]

Daaang, big project! Good luck!

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

It definitely snow balled into something bigger than I really planned on. Thanks for watching! 👊

[@shion_lwn]

I am also dealing with poa too. this is a big job. great work ..!!

[@dougcooper5740]

I'm dealing with POA myself. A few weeks ago I cut out what I saw and sodden the spots, but a ton more had popped up...its so aggravating.

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

Because it spreads via stolons you should try and cut out about a foot or so further than you can see it. I considered sod cutting everything out but the cost was a bit out of my budget.

[@minnesotagrassgeek7797]

I would pound the area with lots of urea to get any remnants of weeds/poa to germinate and glyphosate them out.

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

Already on it 👍🏻

[@TheLawnSensei]

I like the rain 🌧 here in PNW but sometimes is just to much and I feel like slow me down on every yard project!

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

It's definitely been slowing me down a little bit. 😎

[@BermudaBrian]

Man o man!

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

You can say that again...😁

[@Striperman]

I am dealing with the Triv this year myself. There is so much showing up now. I thought is was from my lawn reno last Fall because its all over the lawn and thought it was just the new grass being a lighter color coming out of the Winter. But looking at it close up it has a shiny texture and is definitely a lime color. If it was just a few spots I would have dug them out and re sod those areas. It is through out the whole lawn so might have to tear the whole lawn up like in 08 and put down new sod. 13 years ago I was physically able to do it but not sure I am up to the challenge this time. :(

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

That really sucks. 😳

[@chuckbenzing134]

Is this the update on your "how I get moss out of my lawn" video? LOL. I'm joking of course. It really shows your dedication Nate. Hope all goes well with the renovation. I suppose like most anything, good preparation is the key to success.

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

Amazingly there wasn't hardly any in the yard this year. I think getting the pH up, limbing the big maple back and using Air8 to help with the drainage had a big impact. I'm hoping fixing the grade will further help.

[@ZupE891]

Did the triv come back the next year anyway?

[@LawnNOrder]

Poa madness….hopefully this ends it

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

I'd be happy to get it more manageable not just all over the place. 😉

[@jandacy4759]

I feel your pain.... I'm in Vancouver, WA and my front yard has been hit hard with POA, debating on if I should just hold off until fall and put down some Prodiamine and focus on next spring, or if I should kill it now and reseed while the temps are still workable... What's your thoughts?? Thanks for your input.

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

That would really depend on what Poa you're dealing with. Poa Annua is handled much differently than Poa Trivialis. I'll be doing a video on Poa Annua very soon. I'm not far from you. I'm in Battle Ground.

[@lxiong1077]

Went all out I see there....bye bye triv!! LOL

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

Yep.. 👍🏻

[@michaellord1389]

Poa Sucks!!!! Its horrible as well down my way. (not too far away!)

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

It does suck. I'm glad to be getting rid of it.😎

[@michaellord1389]

@@PacificNorthwestLawns I should do it to my lawn. I just got 200 lbs of ryegrass from Bailey Seed and Grain in Salem, but baseball season has me too dang busy. I'll just live my lawn through yours. lol

[@Spottedcatt]

Poa is bad!

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

Not all Poa is bad. Kentucky Bluegrass is Poa Pretentious. I kinda like it. Poa Trivialis and Poa Annua is bad. 😎
