@@tranelunger7758 I really appreciate that. You can use it on grass or bare dirt or beds. Just avoid overspray on plants. If you get too close, use a piece of cardboard as a shield and then it takes the stress away if you are close. Hope this helps and thanks for watching.

[@ljeffries9332]

Just wanted to let you know I took your steps and this fall, my yard looks at least 75% better than what I came in with. Tenacity is amazing - got rid of my crabgrass and ground ivy, and most of my dandelion. I spot sprayed for weeds August 1 and again August 15 to hit what I missed. I aerated (this was hard on a hilly lawn, but next year I will use a billy goat or outsource this part) September 13, and put down limestone then - I have a lot of moss and pine needles to deal with. I overseeded the next day with Pennington Contractor's Mix. Fertilized a week later. Watered twice a day for about 2 weeks after seeding. Then every 3 days or so for another couple weeks. Was ready to mow by week 3... there was over 6 inches of growth. I basically haven't stopped bagging weekly clippings since... helps me get all the leaves off my heavily wooded lawn. It's not perfect, but my husband is impressed with what I've accomplished in a single season with minimal investment. I wish I could post my before and after pics. Guys, if you live in New England.... Silver Cymbal's tips will help you get your lawn better. These steps worked for me. I am no longer embarrassed of my lawn. Thank you Silver Cymbal!

And I also have zoysia grass so it always dies and turns brown and dormant in the fall and winter, so that will be coming soon for me. But it is fun taking care of the lawn I think.

Very cool to hear. it's some good grass seed for sure.

[@sethjohnson]

This was very helpful! My lawn and landscaping beds got away from me this year so I’m trying to end the season on a high note.

[@angelyianne1444]

I just renovated my lawn for the 1st time ever, used aeration, over seeding, starter fertilizer and so on, your videos were very helpful. Let’s see how it goes 🤓🙏🏻

[@jennieredrose5819]

How did it go?

Great video !!! Love the way u explain everything for the weekend Warriors - My lawn looks that bad I’m gonna start the process this spring . Thanks !!!

[@Pak4Life007]

Can you please give a link for the water sprinkler you used in the video

[@catherinedavid3662]

Your lawn is looking healthy and handsome, your hard work has certainly paid off. Well done.

[@SilverCymbal]

Thank you so much for the nice compliment

[@stevevinas]

Just bought Scott's weed and feed, then remembered this video, watched again now I have everything on order and returning Scott's. Thanks again for such a good video and clear explanation of everything. I'm in CT so a little behind but what should I use for fert. and grubs injunction with tenacity?

[@korey9498]

Going to use these methods on my suffering grass here in the SW USA. Dried out, dead, and thatched. Lots of work. I’ll be back in a number of months to report progress.

September when summer is winding down. Texas: 😂

[@gqthesoulfulstoner]

Lol Georgia too.. we are lucky if it cools down by Halloween here

[@cocoabiscuits]

same. Michigan here

[@InSidious1805]

Used to live in Houston now live in Dallas where my grass scorches. Water three times a week and it ain’t good enough. I am however going to try and overseer during the fall.

[@briangallant5973]

In Sidious mid August here in Maine! 😉

[@bombasticbuster9340]

Yeah, anything south of Missouri aint winding down!

[@fordmodela3641]

Great video!I like that it is what you actually did. I bought a used Ryan aerator from Home Depot and seeded the way you did too. It was so noticeable the very next year. I’m on my third year with doing it that way, and now using it before putting down pre emergents I’m convinced this is the best way, hands down! In southern PA

[@johnneucere7161]

Great work on the before and after. How your lawn looked to begin with reminds me of what DR Horton lawns look like since they absolutely refuse to put any type of weed prevention down before putting down sod. Its all about going as fast as possible and throwing down sod on top of weed infested lots.

[@Modioman69]

Yes! I have a D.R. Whoreson house and my lawn is just like the before example but a bit worse. DR Horton is the worst home builder I’ve dealt with and it’s like dealing with the mafia. Slimy goons try to bully and manipulate you when you have a house built it’s a nightmare.

[@mybootscamewithoutstraps]

This is everything I needed to see in order to decide to just mulch my yard and turn it all into perennial flowers and veggie/fruit production. All that for grass is nuts, and this is the easy way!

[@BrettLyon]

Thank you so much, I followed these steps and achieved unbelievable results that shocked my neighbors, family members, and coworkers. I had all but given up, my lawn had turned brown and sparse - looking completely dead. I followed these simple steps, and followed them COMPLETELY, and had a perfect green lawn within 5 weeks. So many people asked about it, and all of them I just gave them your link! Cannot thank you enough. And for those of you reading this and are on the fence about doing it, stop thinking and just do it - but do it ALL, no shortcuts.

[@neerajsingh-dd9jh]

What to do after spraying tenacity ??? Do I have to remove the dead weeds or it’s okay to leave it in there ?

[@sofiavillarreal820]

Hello. After tenacity, how long did you wait to start seeding? And after seeding how long did you wait after applying starter fertilizer?

[@BrettLyon]

@@sofiavillarreal820 No need to wait for either of your two questions! Every year, I usually do the following: get home from work on a Friday night, apply the tenacity, go to bed, wake up on Saturday, rent an aerator from Home Depot, aerate, spread seed, and spread starting fertilizer all on Saturday. Then I water twice every day and refrain from cutting for 4 weeks

[@randymelendez7803]

Dealing with a yard full of goose grass..........in process of burning that out and will be following your plan to the T.

[@florianweisel6506]

That’s a great video and shows the reality. I love being in my backyard and enjoy having nice grass … just do what he shows in the video.

[@mikedaley2882]

I can't wait to try this. I took notes . Awesome video man. I've tried for 5 years basically making every dam mistake u mentioned.

[@sendforacar9323]

You want a blend of different grasses. That way if it gets a disease it won't wipe out your entire lawn. Set a timer to water just before sun up. This will cut down on mold and overall disease. If you aerate it's a must to keep the clippings after you mow. This will add nitrogen and provide coverage from the sun and hold enough moisture, not too much for mold, to help with new seed. I worked at a large lawn care company all throughout college. Their methods were backed by years of science. Last tip keep your mower at top height. This will allow the grass to naturally chock out new weeds reducing the need for chemical sprays.

[@RuLikeMikeWright]

There are many videos online but I love the way this one gets down to the simplest way to get good results. Thank you!

[@SilverCymbal]

I really appreciate that. Thank you

[@RuLikeMikeWright]

@@SilverCymbal one question. How long did you wait to overseed after using tenacity?

[@SilverCymbal]

@@RuLikeMikeWright The amazing news with Tenacity is that you don’t have to wait at all, the seed can go down before during or after, it has no effect on seed at all. Truly a remarkable product for weed control and different than any other. Everything you need to be weed free: Tenacity Weed Control: amzn.to/2JM4APm - Surfactant: amzn.to/2Xz6dod - Dye/Colorant: amzn.to/2Jta4yh 2 Gallon Sprayer: amzn.to/2xBJP3k

@@SilverCymbal thank you!

[@delia1463]

Thank you for your video. I love my yard and my garden . I keep it nice but I just realized all this time I've been stressing out over my trees and lawn is dry even thou I water. Seeing these videos showed me my Gardner isn't doing his job. My yard is supposed to be cared for yet I'm doing it. He only cuts the dead lawn and blows his hair dyer.

[@bistrobillyboy]

I'm new with the lawn care so I'm hoping this works. up till now I've been bouncing around with different seed mixes, some with mulch some without.. no thaching... minimum watering.. the lawn looks, ehh.. okay for what it is.. but following your methods I'm hoping to have our lawn looking just like yours inside of 2 years..3 max.. like you say right?..lol..idk, we'll see! Thanks for the video.. very informative.

[@sethshaffer8592]

About to own a home. Gonna put this in my Home playlist for later. Thanks!

Thsnk you

[@MadSUPANOVA]

Florida Bahama grass nightmare to regrow, the heat brutal. Guess I will try the holes in ground over raking and add the fertilizer and change to the more expensive $61.00 Scotts seeds.

[@elpeehs8479]

I will definitely try it and post results..thx forda help..I have a yard slam full of oak and pine tree roots as well as my woodline tends to have quite a bit of underbrush...but that's another video. Lol😆 I'm a renter ATM and always like to leave the property better then when we aquired it.... im sure this will be a huge help ty again

[@keenanrochester5181]

I'm going to use your steps today! Man this is a good video, thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@brendansamuels8028]

Great video! I’m really looking forward to getting into my lawn! :) Brendan. Blue Mountains, Australia

[@SilverCymbal]

Very nice, glad to have you watching my video from Australia. Thank you!

[@timharkness4656]

I followed this advice and it worked great! Got the weeds killed. Then over Labor day weekend, aerated and watered, etc. I now have a luscious green lawn. Just fantastic!

[@GunnyPhillips]

Another great video and I found it at the perfect time! Thanks as always.
