Lawn Renovation is in the Air // Fixing My Kikuyu Lawn

[@tippo5341]

OMG Ben, dunno which was funnier, Schnitty going underground in the stump hole and gettin lost, or the drip line snapping and you goin ass over head backwards?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 pure gold, and mate, Schnitty is one of the best additions to your vids in years, just awesome!!!!!

[@LawnTips]

Haha he’s a little legend! So classic moments in this vid for sure 👌🏽😂

[@markarbuthnot2693]

A star is born Schnitty new KZbin star. Given all the reel mowers you have used on your channel keen to know what you would have if you only had one to use moving forward and how Swardman Electra compares as you stopped using that relatively quickly?

[@tommydanner]

Came here for the lawn tips, stuck around for Schnitty

[@tonygill3344]

Music in this vid was very cool! Love that dog too ! 🐶 🇬🇧

[@stevefraser5467]

Schnitty was classic. Jumping into the hole was funny as!!!

[@danielstephens840]

omg that is the cutest little pooch ive ever seen

[@richardportelli1983]

OMG your dog is so funny! when winter comes you will have to get him a Lawn tips coat!

[@MichelleS-Gamer]

Schnitty is so damn cute. Loved how he just jumped into the hole from the tree stump. He was having a ball that's for sure.

[@calebevans8437]

At least the dog now knows it's ok to dig up the lawn aswell since dad did it🤣🤣

[@liveandbreatheoutdoors]

Schnitty is a great addition to the crew mate!

[@MRBLACK1080]

I sort of wished you went and got the excavator to pull them out would of been hilarious 😂

[@leeferg337]

Nice garage roller 👍

[@FightXchannel]

I think you are going to get a whole bunch of new fans for your pup. Schnitty

[@MrRichiefresh15]

Too bad. The seasons are different in Australia. Want to see the property covered in snow. It’d be like a winter wonderland.

[@richardportelli1983]

It does snow where Ben lives just very rarely. Maybe once or twice each winter.

[@chater.adventures628]

Nice work mate. Hope that your puppy tags along in more videos.

[@rogerchandler9737]

That pup is awesome........nice vid too!

You beauty! Lookin good mate. Don't be shy to show off and share footage of any other yardwork/improvements you've got going on. The shed work being one of them!

[@kevinshepard1748]

Nice garage door bruh!!

[@1_josh_146]

OMG WHAT A INTRO AW😂😂❤️

[@danielsulics711]

El Schnito at it again. A stone edge around the tree would look awesome . Rather then the plastic edge from bunnings. Suit your house as well 👍🏼

[@hamishbindrinkin]

Schnitty is going to need his own channel soon! Awesome bud you got

[@dave3952]

The new pup is hilarious 😂

[@Al-of3zp]

Schnitty was a genius move for the channel

[@garethparry6673]

Hi i just found your video/channel! You had me at the first 5 seconds! Omy gosh that is the cutest tiniest dog i've ever seen in a youtube vid! I need to try this, i need to do better at eating better for my health! I just liked and subscribed to your channel! Introvert mom of 4 sons (2 autistic) loving the youtube community , learning from others! God Bless!

[@danielwilson5339]

You definitely need some LEDs for that shed. Loving your work mate. Inspiring me to do my own lawn make over

[@wadegramlich228]

This might be your greatest video yet🤣

[@DAN-IEL.N.U.P]

i just did my lawn. its already growing like crazy!

[@ericmaher2316]

Back to basics and some juicy lawn stuff. Looking forward to the Reno.

[@tippo5341]

The dreaded Kikuyu creepers, bain of my existence leading into and during summer...amazing how far it'll travel on its own accord, but it is super resilient grass...love the stuff, and as I live in a rental, am not going to the expense of a better quality turf/grass type...your video's are brilliant for the like of myself, cheers for all you bring us via this channel!!!!

[@richardportelli1983]

Glyphosate slows it down for a few months.

[@pomwah1489]

Keeping that Kikuyu fresh baby Wooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's gooooooooooooo! Renno! Renno!

[@danielslawncare]

I can’t wait to see the full reno. You’ll be cylinder mowing that in absolutely no time. My front lawn is ready for a cylinder mower. It’s level enough and the rotary mower is on the lowest it can go. I just gotta be patient and I am sure I’ll get one

[@mickwhitton7775]

Love the channel mate and content mate!!! Would love it even more if you introduced a sneaky buffalo patch ;) either way I’m watching!

[@jasperirving007]

Spring !!!!!!!!!!

Killin' the lawn game. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

[@Comegethe_CHICKEN]

Its like watching a teaser for the next vid, keep up good work

[@jeremyringma]

Train Schnitty to dig on cue. I've taught my aussie shephard to do it and its a tonne of fun when you are doing garden work.

[@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke]

Sorry what did you say again, distracted but your little friend 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@steeshyboy]

I’m actually excited for your lawn renovation!! Very keen to see this from beginning to end!!

[@Bupalooga1]

That look on your face when you see how much thatch the machine rips out! Just went halves in a Ryobi Scarifier and I had a very similar grin when i gave it a test run =D Ill be following with my reno 7 days behind you.

[@movingforward1981]

Amazing content, loving your videos from over here in the UK.

[@Mattburto19]

Still waiting for all the rain to stop here in Ballarat so I can overseed. You’ll have that looking mint in no time

[@mutchumbo]

What have you got currently Matt and what are you overseeding with?

[@Beetil]

Also waiting. The long weekend gave us a glimpse of spring and now it is dashed away. Cmon sunshine!

[@Mattburto19]

@@mutchumbo I’ve got perennial rye and just overseeding with the same to thicken it up

[@backyardgolfgreen9706]

Looks great! I love how turf grass is so responsive to care. Cool dog too.

[@stev0362]

Hey mate love your vids, the lava you pulled out is a curl grub or cockchafer and they love your lawn.

Excited for the Par 3 to be finished as well. The Schnitty Invitational?

[@joshuarifkin7342]

I wanted to see the rest of the scarifying it was kinda interesting… mr. (schnitty) is awesome .

This is the best video yet lol

[@Mr_Mumble_PSN]

Another great vid. Missing the little pat pat pat and tap tap tap overlays in the vid lol thanks mate

[@kingtube69]

So keen to see the reno! Awesome work Ben

[@hoboaust]

Definitely needed the excavator! 🤣

[@guyventures3498]

So distracted by the tiniest puppy ever 😂

[@lawn.radiance]

That Protea is a tank! Sweet cartridge style system.

[@benr7774]

Hi Ben, been watching your KZbin videos for about 1 month now really enjoying them and looking forward to the next video. Be great if you could plant Zoysia in the back lawn, so people can see (especially me) how you maintain that variety 😀 Keep up the great work

[@trevormuggeridge4560]

[@keriboi]

Just keep an eye on Schnitty with Kikuyu allergies.

[@MrTuffytuff]

Please do another video cleaning shed out, and add some good lighting in there 👍🏼👍🏼

[@rudolfthegardener6105]

Great work and a great mower Ben

[@_maze_4733]

That’s some good stuff my man.

[@MrRecklessryan]

Nice work, damn that's a nice shed!

[@Andrew-em6mt]

Just when I'm about to hire a dethatched from Kennards, this vid comes out. Great to see how effective it is. My lawn has some pretty nasty thatching in some places....some parts of the lawn have turned into a loose matt like feel. Reno time it is.

[@SRM_NZ]

Ben...for your little bed under the tree...you only have to use a line trimmer to cut the Kikuyu back everytime you trim....the trimmer will keep the grass out of the bed....if a shoot does come up past the edge it will be nothing to rip it out by hand.

[@mavv_1877]

I'm so hyped for this reno video 😎

[@MrTobywoods]

I made the mistake of putting Bunnings patch repair seed in a bare spot in my kikuyu… now the rye grass is obviously noticible… what can I do to get rid of it that doesn’t cost a fortune? Also that scarifying machine is awesome

[@craigmurphy5048]

Started a 200m2 lawn from kikuyu runners from a dethatch. Cheap way of doing a lawn if you have time

[@bbtank3000]

Apparently there was some lawn work done in this video. I guess we were too distracted by Schnitty lol

[@LawnTips]

Haha, love it

[@supernaturalzbest]

anyone else feel like there just watching a cute sausage dog whilst not hearing what this guy is saying about turf hahaha

[@seanlowson5214]

Hey Ben, I am having issues with prairie / rescue grass in my back yard. None of my post emergents are able to knock it. Any suggestions for control?

[@tesstickle6035]

Be good to see the lawn Reno with the dog running on it

[@SS95170]

Love the new property!! Wow that Protea smashed it. How often should you scarify Kikuyu lawn?

[@jffro]

Love the protea mate!!!!

[@LawnTips]

Solid unit!

[@hectorpascale1013]

@@LawnTips Cartridge change is way to complicated for my taste.

[@picklemat4619]

I just gave m kikuyu grass a weeding few weeks ago scalp and over sow with light top dress. But it pissed down. So I’m not sure how it will hold up. It has been a bit warm. So hopefully the warm weather will help it and not be drowned

[@JEK]

Hey Ben, it seems like week to week it is rainy at the Lawn Tips Golf Club. Are you having an above average rain season? Really look forward to the Kikuyu reno...

[@SBteve]

That’s mint

[@phillipminns188]

Great vide. Love the dog

[@matttradie1341]

Probably good idea to not go too deep with the scarifier. I can imagine if you hit one of those poly lines, itll break somthing on the machine before u realise its caught up.

[@Lifeiis]

I've just moved into a Sydney rental with a shocking buffalo lawn about 150m2. It was very overgrown (maybe 200mm high) and I've gradually brought it down 60mm. It's a bit patchy and full of thatch. Any suggestions for a cheapish way to scarify so I can give it a decent feed and hope it fills in? Thinking I might have to go at it manually with a rake.

[@mutchumbo]

Any change you'll roundup a patch somewhere on your property and sow a new lawn in? Rye perhaps?

[@cozzielawnb2660]

Where did you get the scarifier reel from?

[@jamesmccloy7863]

Hi Ben, loving Schnitty he’s a real star. Would you renovate a Zoysia lawn the same way as a Kikuyu lawn, they seem really similar?

[@Diffbrookes]

Lawn Tips Dog Merch coming soon

[@matthewsherlock296]

Hi Ben, I am planning to do a Reno on a large couch lawn. I have a separate area of newly levelled fresh soil where I built a retaining wall. I want to use the cores and debris from the scarification to grow couch in this area. Would you be able to advise on how this could be done, and the steps to get a new lawn without having to purchase and lay sod. Cheers

[@jaysutton6307]

Moved in to our house a year ago and this is the first spring. Sprayed dicamba M on couch lawn a week ago any advice on when to fert or reapply docamba m for the clover and yellow leaf cover that it didn't get? I gave it a top rake today to lift the weeds and rotory mowed also.

[@jpbloodyaussie]

I liked this vid based mostly on DOGGO!!! interested if there is another product that does not cost 7 million dollars for Kikuyu lawn... Destiny is crazy money.

[@LawnTips]

Pro force duke is a cheaper option same active

[@roycesalisbury5015]

Hey Mate, what cleanout herbicide do you recommend on Buffalo? Weed n Feed from Bunnings hasn't seem to touch it.

[@rowanclare7093]

I went premature on my Reno 2 weeks ago in melb with good weather, then in typical Melbourne fashion, it's rained for 2 weeks. It should be OK when warms up, right?

[@Gino_567]

I’m in melb too. I nearly made the decision two weeks ago too. It’s still a tad too cold for optimal conditions but you’d be absolutely fine if you did it two weeks ago. It’s warm enough. My grass has woken up and it’s growing a fair bit now.

[@geotard]

Exactly the same for me. Turf was rolled out last year, scalped down and could have filled a 6x4 trailer twice with all of the thatch. Then it rained. Going to top dress next week and feed it some Seasol. Kikyu is pretty hardy, takes effort to kill it once it establishes.

[@plakey2001]

Haha in Melbourne & same here. Remember “she’ll be right”

[@timsaveneh567]

In the same boat. De thatched the living bejesus out of it, filled an 8x5 full. Now its winter again hahah. Thankfully kyk is a weed and it'll grow back
