Overseed Your Lawn WITHOUT Aerating

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

I have gotten this question about where to buy seed so many times on any video that I post about this seed. PLEASE view the links that are in the description of the video, I intentionally provided that information because I knew there would be many inquires about it. Thank you all for watching but please look in the description for links and purchasing information.

Thanks 🙏🏾!

[@markamarkam]

Just got in the second mow today after overseeding (started later than I wanted this year). I followed your approach. Just 1 pass with the SunJoe dethatcher, raked it all up, and laid down fert. I had a bunch of starter fert left over from last year's semi renovation (using tips in your other videos) so I took a chance and used it up on this year's overseed. Threw down the Mountain View Top Choice, watered for 3 weeks and got lucky with rain these last two weeks. And now the lawn looks...AMAZING! I live in central MD, frost was fairly mild and didn't do any damage, but next year I'll start in early Sept. So in 12.5 months my lawn has gone from weedy, sparse and pretty tired looking to lush, thick and green. THANKS AGAIN for the great content!

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

wow your lawn is so lush and beautiful good job. We had some extreme heat this summer and my grass got hammered here in Mass. I wasn't able to water it because we had a water ban, so this past week I detach the lawn and gave it a good rake. I applied seeds down waiting now for some rain and cooler temperatures.

My goodness, your lawn is beautiful. I tried to dethatch my backyard on yesterday, but I noticed it needs to be done probably another 5 or 6 times (LOL), but it's not going to happen until spring. I didn't finish yesterday but I will be finishing today. Thanks for the video because I can't aerate but I am going to put down Air8 hopefully that will help

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

Dethatching can be a chore but the SunJoe and my backpack blower makes it not so bad. If your lawn is super thick your you have never Dethatched before it definitely can be rough. It helps the lawn so much though.

[@dudethebrojohnson7018]

Aeration is critical for compacted and heavy clay lawns. I've tried to only dethatch and overseed during prior years. While the grass came in well during the fall, it really struggled during the summer that followed each time.

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

I agree with you that it is definitely more important on compacted and heavy clay soil. Thats not a issue that I'm dealing with which is why I clarified that wasn't a problem I had.

[@dudethebrojohnson7018]

That makes sense, I'm glad you aren't dealing with compaction in your yard. Also, I definitely like your idea of choosing a blend of KBG and TTTF. I'll definitely keep following your lawn as it progresses

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

@@dudethebrojohnson7018 Follow along. I still have a few more videos to get out before the off season hits.

[@MegaDaprice]

The liquid fungus killer, do you add water to it? Do you apply it once you put down your new seeds?? I've just applied my tall fescue seeds, I've aerated but believe we went too low is cutting the lawn preparing for aeration. I can see in some areas the dirt..I'm going it comes back as we have seriously overseeded the yard. We have irrigation on the property.Can the seed, the Kentucky blue grass that you're using be used in Charlotte NC.?? Your lawn is gorgeous.

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

Yes mixed and I applied the fungicide per the label with water the same say I seeded. If you cut too low it will be ok you are putting down new seed anyway. The KBG can survive there with proper water, nutrients, and management.

[@kev7017]

How do you measure the ratio of Blue Grass to the Tall Fescue? also the Cytogro and Propiconazole, when do you apply those? is it before the seeds or after?

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

At the time of seeding it is by weight of the seed that is applied. After that of course its hard to tell. I apply all my products at the day of seeding. Of course there will be follow on applications of Cytogro monthly until the grass stops growing.

[@wattsobx]

didnt know you are in the area! Are you in NOVA? I also go to Newsoms or even the "The Mill" in MD which i think private labels some of their seed.

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

I'm in MD. I gotta get out to The Mill i have heard about them.

[@Methodical2]

I get better seeding succes when dethatching vs aerating which I think is best to expose the soil for better seed to soil contact. I aerate when I plan to apply compost. Companies push aerating because it is easy work vs dethatching.

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

Good point. I did have a much quicker recovery with "dethatching" vs aeration. Germination and establishment seems to be pretty good also.

Question..i was planning on overseeding my existing Tall fescue front yard with 100% bluegrass to help thicken it up but i heard that the fescue would out compete the KBG. What has been your experience/results?

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

Fescue and KBG work well together. It's very normal to see 90/10 mix Fescue and KBG. I have been running that mixture for years.

[@trevor-bd4kt]

@@ElevatedLawnscapes Thanks!

[@MrFergusonLawn]

Excellent and well done video sir! I enjoyed it. I’m aerating this year again, but like you, not going this route next year. I know your lawn will only get better in a few days, but it’s poppin now! Good luck man, I look forward to seeing the kbg this season.

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

Thanks sir! I'm trying out no aeration this year and we will see how it goes. I like aerating in my opinion because it prepares a seed bed for the seed to fall into and the leaves the plugs on the surface also for seed to soil contact. The yard is already starting to recover but we need a little more sun to help it out. Looking forward to seeing how that Triple Threat looks when you get it up and growing.

[@MrFergusonLawn]

@@ElevatedLawnscapes haha thanks man. In a good and bad way, we won’t get to show it off properly being I kept so much GCI seed. However I have buddies sowing it, so hopefully we can get a good glimpse of it in a way. God bless you Cam! You have a awesome channel man. Best of luck in all of it.

[@nesto2302]

Over seeding sounds good, but I have about 18 thousand square of lawn and the seed pricing has skyrocked, purchased a twenty pound bag of Johnathan green for 130, last year price 96 bucks, Ouch. Next season if prices come down I'll try it. Thank you,very informative. Keep up the good work 😃.

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

@@nesto2302 MAN, $130 for a 20 lbs bag of seed is way overpriced in my opinion unless you are talking about KBG seed. If you have 18k sq ft I would be looking at a TTTF or TTTF/KBG mix. You can spend $130-160 and get a 50 lbs bag.

[@정선화-v9p]

Thank you for your information. I live in Oregon state and lot of sun in my side yard during summer. We had rain during on October to May. Can you recommend me which seed is good for my side yard and not much sun place. Thank you!

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

In your location you would be good with any of the cool season grasses...tall fescue, KBG, or Rye grass. Tall Fescue is pretty shade tolerant but still needs 4-6 hrs of direct sunlight to really thrive but it will do ok with less and filtered sunlight. If the area is really shady you will want to look into fine fescue, chewing, or hard fescue. Those types are more shade tolerant.

[@pkiknex]

I do like the smell of grass seed as well, but I've found something better. I'm in the process of pre-germinating my seed right, and the earthy aroma of the "tea" that comes after hours of the seeds soaking is on another level!

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

Oh really. I have never pre-germed seed before yet. I plan to try it some time just to see how it goes.

[@brodygoalie]

So you did not use a starter fertilizer? Please advise. Thank you

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

I fertilized at the time of seeding but I did not use your typical "starter fertilizer" analysis with a high Phosphorus analysis.

[@-Vee_]

what is setting number for your sun Joe when detaching? thnx

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

I used 0. It depends on your HOC and how matted to the soil surface the debris is.

[@therealbrian732]

How do you prevent the seed from going into the mulch bed? I got the 90/10 athletic blend from mountain view and then got the exact same 10lb bag of 365 you got. I spent 3 full days doing my lawn the labor day. I cut grass down to 1 and 3/4 then used sun joe rake on zero and pulled alot up. I wondering if i cut to low it looks crazy right now but i wanted the seed to be able to grow without the older grass covering it. I also put down an organic fertilizer thinking it takes about 2 weeks for that to work that is when the seed should be growing and that would help it. Tell me what you think about what i did. I just subscribed to your channel i can tell you make great videos and you got a great lawn. Some of these guys have channels and have crab grass lol

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

I think your plan will be fine and you should have good seed to soil contact. That is key for getting new seed to grow after germination. I am not a fan of organic fertilizers because the release of the nitrogen is not as predictable. You may think it will release slow but microbes are more active in moist and warm environments which is what is created for seed germination. Therefore, it could still be releasing fairly quickly but I do not think you will have any problems. Make sure your soil actually needs the higher Phosphorus that is in organic fert with a soil test.

[@therealbrian732]

@@ElevatedLawnscapes good to know about the organic fertilizer i never knew that. Im new to this but i have taken it on with a passion. Lol. I actually did do a soil test and phosphorous was extremely high and others were low so i went witj Jonathan green which has no phosphorous. Its only been 2 days and i cant wait for the seeds to start growing. Thanks for the reply. Look forward to checking out all your videos

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

You can check your local seed distributors or online at United Seeds or Heritage PPG.

[@HOmar-lj4vf]

Your lawn looks great, even scarified! What setting did you use on the spreader? I use TopChoice grass seed as well and it calls for 3-5 lbs per 1000 square feet for an overseeding, but it looks like you're putting down much more than that.

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

Thanks 👍🏾! I put down 4 lbs/1000 in my front yard and 6 lbs/1000 in the back. The back was much thinner after power raking. Your settings is going to depend on your spreader. For my Spyker I used 6.5 in the back and 6.3 in the front and made 2 passes across the area. Again, those settings will vary depending on your spreader so you will have to dial in the setting for your specific spreader.

[@johnnelwhite]

[@MamaDeesGardens]

Is the grass seed you are using recommended for Maryland? What’s the benefit of mixing the two grass seeds? I planted tall fescue and it looked great until June and now it looks terrible and needs to be completely redone. I watered and did my best but still much of the grass died in the heat of the summer.

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

I live in Maryland so this grass will grow here when managed properly with the correct mowing, nutrition, and water. The benefit of mixing in the KBG is that it has darker color, its spreads/self repairs, and provides additional density to the lawn. Cool Season grasses will begin to struggle in the July timeframe here in Maryland without the proper management practices and most of them require a preventive fungicide to keep disease from damaging the lawn. We had decent rain here this summer so too much water can also be an issue.

[@nsid72411]

I aerate, dethatch and overseed every year. I also put soil with compost or leafgro. Do you think that soil or leafgro is necessary when aeration and overseeding is done?

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

Necessary no. Do you have a significant compaction or leveling issue you are working to fix? Also, many compost are high in Phosphorus so make sure that your soil test show that you need additional Phosphorus added. Continuously adding Phosphorus through compost could eventually lead to other issues.

[@nsid72411]

My neighborhood is a new build. This is my seventh summer at the house. First 5-6 were rough with the grass. For the pass 7years I’ve been treating with sod and overseeding. The last three have been overseeding. It did tremendously better this past year. It does really well in the fall, I always tear the yard down the last day or two before October. Within ten days I have grass growing, by Halloween I have 2 2/12 inches. The second week of November, I’m cutting. My issue is it struggles at times in the summer we’re certain ares get burned. This is primarily why I overseed every year. Also, I never knew that you could effectively overseed without putting soil down after thatching and aeration.

Like it was said, you might be a bit late for KB to establish. I'd act faster and try my luck. To fend off dogs peeing on the lawn, the only thing that I found that works is overwater where the dogs go, to dilute things. I only have to deal with dogs near the street which have really burnt the lawn in the past but watering a lot seems to have helped out a lot. On a hot day, if you are going to water at the end of the day where the dog went, the grass doesn't stand much of a chance.

@@ElevatedLawnscapes Awesome! Thanks for the advice...Maybe ill wait till spring! Im Kind of new to the grass game...But VERY interested in it!

[@mikek.1600]

@@Todd.T Yeah, My wife calls me a crazy man because I follow my dog with a pitcher of water everywhere he goes!😄

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

@@mikek.1600 Spring is not the best time to seed cool season grass. Just temper your expectations for spring seeding with some amount of possible die off during the summer. You may not get as hot up there so it may work out ok.

I live in VA and I looked online for the Mountainview tall fescue grass seed and I couldn't find it. Where can I order the 50lb bags from?

[@greenmax89]

[@MrRayjobseeker]

Not sure if i am envious or jealous of cold weather grass

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

🤣 I think its definitely more work and picky than warm season grass.

[@terrywatts1060]

[@dubaudiproject861]

[@wyattt9574]

Any chance you got a social media page Facebook?

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

I have Instagram which is the social media platform that I use the most. I do have Facebook I do not use it very much. Suggest following me on Instagram I make a lot more real time post and videos there.

[@mowtivatedmowments5564]

Oh yeah…wish I had a local distributor….not in #ZONE9LIFE!🖖🏾🌴💪🏾💪🏾

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

Yeah man, not many ppl growing fescue and kbg in your area.

[@Piccolo_Re]

This video makes me realize I need a new mower. My mower’s highest setting is 3”

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

Thats not a terrible height of cut. It depends on your grass type and your environmental conditions, 3" may be good enough. I have kept my backyard at 3" or less all year for the past 2 yrs.

[@LawnPusher]

Did you buy all the seed? Haha.

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

I left a few bags 🤣

[@ea9373]

my biggest challenge is keeping my neighbors weeds out of the lawn. They cut the grass blowing it into my yard.

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

Make sure you are using a pre-emergent regularly during your spring applications. Then grow a dense healthy lawn. That will keep the weed down.

[@brodygoalie]

But you agree that aeration is very good for a lawn. Correct?

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

I do agree that it is good for the lawn. I have aerated every year except for this year, just trying something different. To compare the results.

[@JIMMYJREVIEWS_thaiM-A-F-I-A]

Say brah, I have NEVER done aeration … why ? Because the DAUM grass blades are CONSTANTLY putting AIR into the GROUND 👍🏻 people don’t realize that or something ? Grass actually is a awesome air scrubber 🧽 it is one if not the BEST natural air filters there is ! grass produces around THREE TIMES !! more the amount of oxygen than TREES !!! Did you know that ? The only reason you should ever do aeration is if the ground is clay or super hard soil or you absolutely did not take care of your lawn and just let it go to shit ! But you you are a lawn dude/woman and you care for your lawn there is NEVER a need for aeration . If you want to test your ground if it need aeration go get you a medium length screwdriver if you can push it in more than halfway your good 👍🏻if it sinks all the way to the handle and wants to keep going BACK WAY OFF the watering ! If it doesn’t go in at all you can ether Dethatch and give your ground a good soaking or use a aerator and then soak it … but ya mane I really don’t think folks like us that take proper care of there laws ever really need aeration machine.✌🏻

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

You said a lot here and I agree with 98% of it. I will be coming out with a video soon that has results and more of my thought process on aeration.

[@MoolahK9]

Great video and production. I'm in MD too. Amazing looking lawn. Im going to try your tips. Lawn care aside you have over 100% viewership. On avg. videos avg 5-10% of viewership in the 1st wk. meaning someone with 10k followers avgs. 500-1k views unless its viral etc. the fact that you have over 10k followers and 10k views in a little over a week shows that the quality and demand is there. wish you luck and hope you capitalize b/c ppl (including me) are interested in the content

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

Thanks, I appreciate that 🙏🏾! I am working on growing my channel and being able to provide quality content to my KZbin community. With the algorithm its hard to tell what videos are going to do well. So, I just focus on producing quality content and let the numbers fall where they may. Thanks for the insight on the viewership analysis.
