HOT WEATHER is Here! Do NOT Do These 5 Things With Your LAWN!!

[@JohnMWeaver]

I don't know how I haven't seen your channel and videos before. Incredible tips and love the way you explain things. Thanks!

[@paulmleziva6574]

These are great guidelines to follow. Unfortunately, for people without an irrigation system like me, moving hoses and setting sprinklers around your lawn can be an all day affair. I think the most important thing is to know your lawn well enough to be able to recognize the signs of drought and heat stress. I try to only water when I notice my lawn struggling and it's worked out well for me so far.

[@slimdude2011]

I don't like irrigation systems either, I prefer watering my lawn manually with sprinklers because, you can position the sprinklers directly where you want the water to go, especially if you have a small lawn. Irrigation systems are installed and used mainly for residential and commercial properties with huge, acres of land. If a homeowner has a small or a medium size lawn, an irrigation system isn't needed. Sprinklers are sufficient. I like watering my lawn. I'm a retiree It gives me something to do to keep me active and doing other things in the yard. I love it!

[@Smokeybuhda]

Pvc piping, metal impact sprinklers, connectors. You can run hoses between or connect as one and water a circle. Best way I found, to put water where it needed to be.

[@FerociousPancake888]

Yeah it takes me about 3 hours to move my single sprinkler around my 1 acre lawn and water it all. I only use a single sprinkler because I’m on a well and I don’t want to exceed the recharge rate of my well, run it dry, and burn out my pump. Looking into modifying the well to improve recharge rate, gett a tankless system for high pressure, and an irrigation system but all of that is going to be like 25 grand. I’m not sure I’m that invested in my lawn.

[@CaptainQueue]

The key is getting it installed right in the first place based on my bad experience. I have a sprinkler system with 6 zones connected by standard PVC pipe that cost thousands to install and it wasn't done right. It's been an ok value when it works but not a great value with frequent tweaks and a few breaks. I think for the money, the best value appears to be maybe an above ground tractor-style sprinkler that follows a long hose run from the faucet and do that heavily twice a week or so. For the smaller lawn sections, just use a fan-style sprinkler. Anyway that's what I'd do if I had it to do over. For my backyard flower garden I was going to extend my existing underground system but instead am going to just barely bury a good quality garden hose to the garden from the faucet 100 feet, and then connect a 50 foot sprinkler hose to that and run it with a simple timer. That's how much I've come to dislike underground PVC pipe systems in general.

[@janking2762]

Look up wobbler sprinklers, which have a very gentle circular pattern. Generally available through commercial suppliers of greenhouse and market garden supplies.

[@daves9355]

Top dressing my lawn with soil once the growing season begins has been a Godsend to my lawn.

[@LAWNLIFE]

Could add more nutrients to your existing soil with fertilizer amendments instead of bringing in dirt and breaking your back. Golf courses grow grass on pure sand by doing this. I'm not stopping you, do what you want to do. But it's unnecessary.

[@tjayer011]

[@slimdude2011]

@@LAWNLIFE I wouldn't dare apply synthetic fertilizer on a lawn, when it's 90+ degrees. It's too hot! You are surely going to burn your grass.

[@squidikka]

@@slimdude2011 This is a myth perpetuated by boomers. Heat does not increase the chance of burn, the fertilizer itself may burn if you apply too much, just like any other time of year. Summer fertilization is fantastic, especially for southern lawns when the grass is growing actively. Top dressing is ridiculous.

[@BenState]

[@nealbarrus9140]

I think mowing in the heat of the day is better than morning or night. When it's hot, the grass sucks its moisture and nutrients down out of the heat. If you cut it then, you are removing less moisture and nutrients. I've been doing this for years and have always had a great lawn. Also, I water right after mowing, it makes my lawn very happy.

[@LAWNLIFE]

That works. You just don't want to water deep mid afternoon. Keep doing it if it's working 👍

[@douglassmith3510]

having grown up working on a golf course, watering for a few minutes to cool the turf (syringing) is very common, and I do it for my fescue lawn. Agree not watering for irrigation purposes though.

[@CaptainQueue]

Totally agree with not cutting too short. I live in northern Louisiana with major heat and poor soil so by late spring am cutting my lawn 1 mower notch from the highest. I also bag all my clippings the first half of the season to minimize weed spread contrary to what the experts say about bagging. The first two cuttings of the year I cut as low as possible to near scalp but from then on increase the height to about 3". For products I put down maximum prodiamine granular in March, followed by maximum Anderson's post-emergent with nitrogen in May, then 1 or even 2 apps of insect killer a year, and finally a light feeding in early fall of lawn food either liquid or granular. Occasionally I've had to spray for nutsedge and clover etc. I spend far less time on the lawn than the guys out there constantly but I feel while I'm not getting fantastic results I'm getting good results considering the reasonable time and money investment.

[@slimdude2011]

I don't scalp my lawn even when it's not extremely hot.

[@Imwright720]

As for number one, I always heard that you want to water your grass like 3 times per week and do it deeply so the roots get the water. It kind of annoys me to see people water every day for like 10-15 minutes. I always heard that you should turn on your sprinkler zones and see how long it takes for you to get about a quarter inch or so and do that time each time. And you're so right about number five if people don't read the instructions! a lot of herbicides not to use it if the temp is about 85-90 degrees...

[@davidziersch8859]

Juddy Yes

[@slimdude2011]

Personally, I wouldn't get annoyed about how my neighbors' water their lawn (if at all) because, I'm not paying their water bill. It's their water and their lawn! If they want to water it 10-15 minutes, seven days a week it's their choice.

[@1791Hernandez]

[@acarguy374]

I have always found good success with my dirt added to help my Augustine shoots repair…..my grass has always seemed to like more dirt added that does not choke.

[@lazyfingers4382]

However here in south Cali you HAVE to at least lightly shower the lawn at peak hours to reduce temperature , not water, you're right , but try to lower the extreme temperatures , I'm talking 120 degrees July and august.

[@robfreeman5783]

Ironically this is even more true in the north with cool season grass species and 15+ hours of sunlight. His #1 tip is a horrible one.

[@dardanm3544]

That’s what I was wondering as well… even if it doesn’t go in the roots, is still seems beneficial to just get some moisture going?

[@BenState]

The grass isn't overheating, it's dehydrating. If the water isn't reaching the roots then it is no rehydrating and therefore a complete and utter waste.

[@cert4]

number 2.... i run a business spreading topsoil on lawns on dormant grass. Yup goes green the next day. I dont pile it one, i use a materials spreader and a brush drag. good watering and it gives a boost a nutrients with nitrogen. Don't do this too early in the spring. You need to learn about mono culture. Yes i said compost and not fill dirt.

[@bigpapa21tx1]

Exactly. Not too early but at just the right time the sun will heat up the ground faster and your dormant grass will green up faster. This is a similar reason of scalping the lawn.

[@BradRickards]

Great recommendations for heat and lawn. There is another I would suggest and that is to increase the mow height of the lawn. Keeping it taller shades the crowns and keeps it healthy. One question though: how do I tell dormant from fungus patch? Thank you

[@lloydhlavac6807]

I also see people watering their lawns in the middle of the day, which is actually illegal where I live in central Florida, besides being wasteful, as you mention, considering we've been experiencing temps in the upper 90s recently. I do have to disagree about brown grass not being dead, though, as it depends on the type of grass. Here in central FL, St Augustine grass is very popular. It can take the heat, but it's not at all drought tolerant, so when it turns brown during extended dry periods, it is dead, and not coming back except from runners spreading form areas that are still green.

[@slimdude2011]

It's true because if you water the lawn during the peak of the day, when the temperature is 90+ degrees, the water will evaporate almost immediately before it's saturated to the roots. Then all of that water will be wasted.

Question for you, Sir. I’ve been mulching rather than bagging my clippings this season, and cutting the grass higher. The lawn seems to love it… thicker, crowds out weeds, greener. So should I follow this as a SOP or go back to bagging at some point?

[@LAWNLIFE]

If it's working, don't change it!

[@louf7178]

I've found that switching back to bagging is needed when there are seeds that you don't want spread around.

Something else I think people overlook is the controller that you choose. I watch the weather closely if I see rain I make sure to override on my phone. I also hooked up flow meters and rain sensors so that my system's not running when I'm not around. It's pointless to water while it's raining here. I also take advantage of the virtual solar sync of my hunter hydrawise controller. I dig down in there and I like to watch how many gallonss go by per minute. It's good to analyze which zones are eating up water and try to understand how much I can cut back on irrigation in other places. This flow meter has paid for itself by a 100 fold being able to see real times statistics and understand which zones have capacity for additional heads too. It's how I was able to max out my 9 zones. My wife and neighbors think I'm crazy, but I like to dominate.

I'm also excited to chase after In line fertigation soon. My challenge is that I water a lot of edible garden beds and I don't necessarily want what's going on my lawn to end up in my edible beds.

[@dazbeamish8144]

ok so i have been watching your videos for some time now, all well and good you have an amazing lawn, but now what negative impacts does a perfect lawn have?, wouldn't all the mowing scare off or kill insects thus decreasing bird population? and most grasses also flower in late spring/ early summer, so no more pollinating insects? so all well and good your grass is alive and looking amazing, but at what cost and how can we reverse those effects?

[@danielmaisel591]

Is topper black dirt?

[@stevenjones3356]

Define “ too short “ for a cool weather grass. 3 inches?

[@AlexKunstar]

I'm gonna do most of these things at some point, and nobody can stop me!! 😆😆😆

[@mathewshoyt1763]

just cut high and water early in the mornings an hour before sunrise. inn certain areas if you water at night the grass might grow mold

[@jgmopar]

Early morning mowing for me LOL.

[@steelhere5519]

- I was using a gas blower to remove leaves off a friend’s roof when the neighbor next door asked me to stop because her baby was sleeping. This was around 10 AM.

[@slimdude2011]

Unless your neighbor is paying your mortgage or rent and paying your bills, they can't dictate and tell you what to do on your property. Most lawn services start work at 8:00 am, so 10:00 is a reasonable hour for anyone to begin doing their lawn work. You can't help if someone's baby is sleeping. If it's a newborn, they going to sleep off and on all throughout day. Some people have a lot of nerve!

[@jml9550]

I don’t care if the neighbor has a baby or not. At 10am, I will mow or do whatever I want. It is not 6-8am.

[@thefpvlife7785]

I just spent an arm on hydretain n quite honestly I don’t notice a difference in my photo collection. I purchased the granules n it was more like a kitty litter consistency. Is that normal? Thx

[@LAWNLIFE]

Never bought the granular hydretein. I'm not a big believer in it

[@MW-xm1rc]

If you are driving home from work, it must be after 4PM so your neighbors are following YOUR recommendations.

[@DrPhuse]

lol truth

[@spg5658]

Haha. Exactly what I was thinking!

[@mr.bianchirider8126]

Not everyone works 9 to 5. Or maybe he’s coming home for lunch or a nooner.

Did you ever think not Everyone works 9 - 5. He may work 7:00 am until 3:00 or 8:00 until 2:00

[@spg5658]

​@@tima4929🤔 I've considered that and decided it's highly unlikely

[@javierarroyo9884]

Lol whats hot to you??? Us landscapers have to mow at 120 degrees in PHX AZ. Grass grows back in a week. Also golf courses cut the grass really short. Im presuming your talking about certain types of lawn.

[@jeremyeickhoff42]

Neva eva!!!❤

[@VoiceofReason-e6o]

Doesn’t matter when you water, other than late evening, as long as it’s not for a short period of time. I have one of the best lawns in our neighborhood and I don’t have a sprinkler system.

[@Wisdomseeker24-7]

You should not deep water rather syringe during the hottest part of the day so the grass can cool off hence reducing the heat stress.

[@harperexplores9349]

Syringing is a good way to reduce stress (as repeated from your link)as long the main watering is done in early morning hours. Golf courses water daily and we replace ET. Home lawns water according to soil type, not blanket recommendations.

[@ArTiChoKe12DETH]

exactly 👍

[@harperexplores9349]

@@LAWNLIFE sandy soils should not water deep. Golf greens are sand based, we water golf greens daily when the temp. Is over 87 and humidity below 60% we syringe for 3 minutes.

[@LAWNLIFE]

I have sandy soil and do not water deep. There's no point. Have you read any studies on syringing? I also provided a link above. You might be interested in that. Obviously you're set in your ways at the course. Just something to think about. Edit: I see you read it from the comment above 👍

[@IamGroot786]

LOL, black dirt???? I had never heard of that one!!!! Some of my neighbors don't get it, they cut so short it almost looks like a putting green and then dead!!

[@pepawg2281]

Drive past a golf course at 6am on a hot summer morning. You'll see the sprinkler systems going full blast.

[@slimdude2011]

Country Clubs can afford to run their irrigation systems almost 24/7 at full force like that. But when you're a private homeowner and responsible for your own water bill, it can be very costly. Last year when I used my sprinklers in the front and back yard for a week, my water bill for that month was an additional $75.00 more than average. Now, I just wait until it rains. Rainwater is better than tap water anyway. It seems like, rainwater rejuvenates and green up your lawn from a drought much faster than tap water.

[@robertlark10]

Crushing it as always brother! Happy 4th 🇺🇸 🫡! Do you ever do a syringe 5-10 min water during those hot times?

[@LAWNLIFE]

Aye! Thanks Robert! Happy 4th bro!I 🇺🇲🇺🇲🍻 I do not...but I've never really tried it either. A lot of research is against it that I've read. I should try it out

It started going crazy viral and ppl were threatening me with complaints to the EPA. Deleted it to save the headache. Sorry

[@jojocrawdaddy]

Oh no, that sucks bro. I thought it was a great video. Are you able to tell me the ratio of the urea/water mixture? I finally bought some to try it. Thanks!! Oh and what is you application schedule like?

[@FakeName39]

what if its still 100 degrees at 11pm ?

[@LAWNLIFE]

Move 😂

[@supremepuller]

Mow heights should be around 3.75-4.25 if you don’t want to water often and want the greenest lawn on the block. Also the tire tracks are most likely “ ascochyta leaf blight” Fungal disease that can spread from lawn to lawn and leave tire tracks everywhere. Do not over water during droughts. Lawns are big on routines. Otherwise you can cause fungal or dormancy

[@rotarycomptech]

How come sod Farms water during the day?

[@yodaddy82daddy70]

They have the budget. You can but a good majority of the water evaps. You have to water more to get water down into the soil deep enough to be beneficial.
