Step by Step UGLY Lawn Transformation

This ugly lawn transformation was actually pretty easy. I show you how to kill the weeds in this lawn without killing the grass. My fried Paul Jamison and I mowed the grass and put a fresh edge on the lawn which definitely helped. I wanted to do more than just cut the grass, so I decide to make a weed control application as well as fertilize the lawn to help the green color and also fill in the bare spots. I used a 38-0-7 blend of fertilizer. I sprayed a pre and post emergent combination on the lawn. I showed the results after 1 month and I was very please with the transformation of this lawn.

Northeast region here (Mass.) Sadly, my front lawn looks like that. A complete mess of weeds. Hoping this video will help me get it to where it's not an eye sore anymore!

[@bluegrey52]

This was a great video. I have a similar situation with my front yard. What time of the year would be best to do this for someone whose yard is in Houston Tx!

[@amjh8s]

Same? Question and Location..

[@EricaRansbottom]

Not saying this is a boring video…I’m learning a lot! But I’ve been trying to get my baby to sleep for almost 2 hours and I put this on….she was out in about 60 seconds…

[@lawncarelife]

I'm happy if my videos help put your baby to sleep.

[@BumAzzSugarDaddy]

That baby is gonna be the best Gardner

[@BumAzzSugarDaddy]

That baby is gonna be the best Gardner

[@friezasoicy8406]

She knows who daddy is

[@EmilyHolt-rv8hf]

​@lawncarelife rest assured; scientifically... apparently... a deep tome man voice sets baby to sleep instantly at times- you must have the right tone of voice 😂

[@John-hk4fr]

are you using a weedwacker you took the half cover protector thing off so you could use it as an edger easily too?

[@helenmonday7643]

looks great! Just wanted your opinion on my lawn. I have an acre of land. The front yard is much like the one you performed your work on..... The back is dirt. Should I till the back and sod....then treat for weeds as you did in the front?

[@singlnfine]

Great job

[@jill8777]

I’m so excited to get started on my nasty lawn. I’m sure my neighbors would be happy if I just tried…😊

[@xilvik7661]

Thank you sir for showing us , you got my like

[@jbaruman272]

This video gave me hope 🤣🤣🤣. Poa has filled my yard and also now have some big shady spots with no grass.

[@lawncarelife]

I would just let the poa die from the Heat

[@bmc5180]

​@@lawncarelife When letting it die off.naturally, doesn't that give it the chance to spread more seeds since it's allowed to live its full life cycle? Would a good pre-emergent application be as effective this fall if you let it die off instead of killing it?

[@jbaruman272]

@Lawn Care Life Have considered that. Also have some Image red label and Negate mixed last year. I figure it couldn't hurt.

[@angryhedgehoglee6363]

Why use the green dye? Is that just for that instant gratification buzz until all your work finally pays off?

[@Alan_83]

I would think leaving it uncut would have a better result giving the products more surface area on the plant to work.

[@lawncarelife]

I was pretty happy with the results

[@Alan_83]

I guess I won’t worry about cutting before. Definitely good results.

[@G2MEDIAFACTS]

The problem is that the lawn on the left is edible and the lawn on the right isn’t.

[@michaeldunagan8268]

On another channel I questioned why they had the scout bermudagrass as I live in a cool grass area. The response to me was that the scalping was to take away the brown part of the Bermuda grass to allow the new growth that is green to take its place.

[@dpalermo45]

what setting do you use on the solo chest spreader?

[@blahbahbah4358]

While i try to get rid of bermuda grass ppl trying to grow it... Damn... ^^

[@coreyburse4543]

38-0-8? We dont have that here in texas.

[@bengrissom5713]

Ive been using only 24d on my yard at 1.2 fl oz per 1000 sq ft and it killed everything but will not touch the white clover or cudweed in my yard. I have been hand pulling it as much as i can and even glphosphate isnt phasing the clover

[@lawncarelife]

I use a herbicide called change up a lot. It works great on clover

[@bengrissom5713]

@@lawncarelife come back to the Douglasville area and spray my yard haha

[@ballershanelle]

Try the basic weed be gone, for clover, etc., concentrate at Lowe's or hd...it has quincloric? In it. Hit it every 30 days...knocked mine out two years ago

[@leezap]

Oh boy, Glyphosate is a nasty stuff. Thanks for the info. I've been pulling weeds by hand because it's only a 5000 sqft lot. I'll stick with hand pulling and fertilizer.

[@xBenny_Blanco]

I don't know if that's the accent, or you just been drinking before shooting the video. Lol

[@TheRoguelement]

I personally don't go in for the scalped look I like a tall thick green lawn certainly NOT a putting green ...

[@lawncarelife]

A lot of it depends on what type of grass you have

[@CodexHere]

Are there any simple products premade, effective, and cost efficient for the average home user? This is a great job, but I don't want to be buying gallons of this stuff and looking like a meth lab in my garage 😅

Listen!! Never appreciated a beautiful yard until my family got a house that is high maintenance with landscaping and now I see the value of having a beautiful maintained lawn 🥰

[@kkarnet]

My lawn looks like a Vietnam Jungle. this is child play.

[@hfrt29]

[@bodil15]

Is the herbicide dog safe? If not could you do an explanation on pet safe transformations? 😍

[@Caf1972]

Great job, Jason! This winter/ early spring temp swings have been crazy!

[@AlabanzasyAdoración7]

Great job! Do I need a license to buy those quimicals? I want to be in the weed control business. Where do I start, besides watching your videos.

[@craigburnett6099]

Why did you choose to not bag all the weeds as you mowed? I have used TRU green. In Dallas area. I take good care of my yard. My flowers look great but I can’t get them to address the weeds. Many different weeds on my yard. I have a weed puller that pulls them up root and all. It’s as if they spray it w water only. Weeds don’t die or even turn color. It chokes my St Augustine.

[@AzzBackwards]

Can you give me any advice? I want to change my switch grass fields to regular grass, I’ve cut the switch grass and took it to dirt wondering if i spray it with round up to kill it or what? Then can just throw grass seed down?

[@TheAceofspades444]

I see you listed the ingredients but if I'm buying this how do i mix this together, or is it diluted with water? Is this treatment only during the spring? What if it's August already?

[@JC-JC20]

you can put fertilizer that quickly after putting down weed killers?

[@adamc1706]

Really appreciate you following back on the results, really helps put things into perspective. Also, have you looked into getting an external mic that like attaches to your shirt for the future? I feel like it could help improve the quality of your videos. Either way I appreciate your videos!

[@tracyfoster3904]

Hey Jason , I used weed killer called Image on my lawn ,it was supposed to kill weeds only, unfortunately it killed some grass also, now I have a lot of thatch spots, how do I fix it quickly?

[@stevep2430]

I live in Australia and looks like you have the same weeds as we do. As far as weeds go, it is a small world.😅

[@chetmyers7041]

10:38 Could that be Carpet Grass with the spidery runners?

[@vox4pax]

What was the chemical that you first applied to the lawn to revive it? You mentioned three different products, which look like they were commercially packaged. do you get those at a farm supply place? I’d like to try to find a hose-end sprayer that’s already mixed and easy to apply. If that’s impossible, just tell me the first thing you sprayed on the lawn. I normally use Spectracide Weed Stop for Crabgrass that attaches to my hose. It doesn’t do a very good job on getting rid of crabgrass. It has some Quinclorac in it, but not much. Many thanks for your help.

[@unfaix]

Used two laun perosn , they just mowed couldnt do much as far as.fertilizers.or killing off weeds. Now my lawns shit but im going it my self to slowly kills the weed and get rid.of.my.shity st augstine for somethijg i can seed

Love the vids thanks for all the great info. I am dealing with CatsEar weed with no luck from store brand weed killers. They work ok on dandelions but the CatsEar sees to persist. What would you suggest to eradicate Catsear.

[@Ahkomaton]

Pointing the camera straight down and walking is making me sick LOL!

[@lawncarelife]

Ok

[@rawcredentials]

I’m trying to redo my whole backyard full of weeds without using using chemicals if I rototill over the weeds, won’t the weeds just regrow so technically the weeds have to be pulled?

Great stuff. Love that you show chemicals and amounts. Thanks.

[@gabrielhawley1534]

I like the way you put these videos together. I learn a lot from you. Keep them coming! Also the way you explain the products for different types of grass….amazing!!!

[@lawncarelife]

Thank you for watching

[@derrickwilson5562]

My sod has been down for about 3 months now and weeds have been growing in it like crazy. I sprayed it first… when should i cut it?

[@Miichi005]

Should tune the volume down when the equipment is running. great vid lol but the noise hurts the ears

[@jonosay854]

I just discovered Ragweed in my Bermuda, 1st time I've ever seen it. Anyone have recommended products that I can spot-treat with? Would just a cheapy broadleaf spray work, or do I need a real one?

[@KeatonIsFTW]

You were able to identify pretty much every different type of weed that I have in my own yard and then I saw that you're also in the Birmingham area looking at the exact same species as me. Yay!

[@matthewgrandison8794]

Looks good. Did you spay and fertilize on the. same day?

[@lorid8408]

Question - looks like you applied the weed killer and fertilizer at the same time. Can somebody confirm? I need a timeline for weed killer, fertilizer, bermuda seeding/overseeding, and pre-emergent. I am having trouble finding that. It is March in Dallas, so high 60s. Thank you!

[@Mailtokarthikg]

did u found an answer? I live in Dallas too

[@enigmaticnomadics]

Great job! I'm watching you and learning as I'm thinking about starting a lawn care business near Baltimore. Question; We don't have Bermuda up here but are the herbicides and weeds about the same as where you are? Thanks Jason.

[@pasquale5485]

😊❤ Love this guy. You seem as though you love what you do and that's so nice to see.

[@monkboy4628]

I thought youre suppossed to spray before you cut for better absorption

[@terryjones8360]

I wish you'd come to my yard in east TN. My yard is pure weeds...

[@derrickwilson5562]

1. Cut Low 2. Spray 3. Fertilize

[@deanjagger1190]

Why didn't you just thatch out the weeds, and then furtilize it?

[@Drewm000-z7f]

Would of been nice 1 more follow up a little later

[@geoffreyalangray7237]

I need your help. I live in Chattanooga and my house is at the end of a wash for the county where all the water from the neighborhood flows down my driveway into the wash that runs through my front yard and backyard. My yard is very green. The yard actually looks like a jungle and I have a lot of insects. It could be beautiful because it's about .35 acres. My issue besides the water flow problem I mentioned earlier is the yard is overflowing with every kind of weed you can imagine especially the kind of weed that crawls along the ground. I bought this home about 2 years ago and about a year and a half ago I lost my job. I haven't been able to find a new job. My weeds are already a couple feet tall. I have two 100 year old oak trees in my yard that are dying and dropping limbs and my yard is very uneven. OK after that explanation how can I deal with this kind of yard without a budget? I would love to have grass at some point but I am having trouble keeping up with the fallen limbs and growth rate of the weeds. Suggestions @lawncarelife ?

[@michaeldunagan8268]

The oak trees are going to cost money to eliminate You can get a weed trimmer like this guy used in the video to have the weeds down in your lawn. Not as ideal as a mower, but try to get a 12-inch one. I believe the Ryobi cordless will be about $150 at home Depot for 12 in string trimmer. The north side of the garage where I live always gets weeds growing up through the mulch. About three times this summer I would pull up the weeds. I'm now working smarter: I take the string trimmer over the top of them and just knock him down to the surface of the mulch and it only takes me 3 minutes. By the time August arrives, the weeds have had it for the season.

[@dcrcort]

any videos on how to kill weeds on st augustine grass ?

[@Rforce78]

Will white vinegar kill the dallies grass

Awesome video Jason. God Bless and keep them coming.

[@jasonbeaver1061]

[@JoeHickey-n9q]

I rather keep weeds cut they die out

[@anniekell7567]

Is this method safe around trees?

[@d4z_l20svaQ12]

Lets turn thriving green biomass into boring, brown patch that only greens certain times of the year

[@lawncarelife]

If Poison Ivy and Briars is what you call a thriving green biomass then I might agree with you

[@Krumholt]

can you do this with St Augustine too?

[@1960Murf]

Watching you in high speed playback looks like one of the old Keystone Cops films. I like it

[@rbljackson]

Jason are you running 1 gallon per 1k on the skid applications? I used to do 2 gal per thousand, but I recently re-calibrated down to 1 gal to try and go further on a tank because my skid is only 100 gallons. Nice transformation. Im not sure what happened, but I didnt get a good kill on a yard I sprayed and thats what led me to recalibrate. I needed to ensure I was getting the proper rates. Also, what rate did you go on the Fert? How much N per 1k approx?

[@MichaelBronnerLMHC]

Definite improvement.

[@darkcity2004]

Looks like my yard

[@littlemaui2011]

Good job on the lawn. I got tired of the weeds growing on my back yard I sprayed for weeds and now I'm tilling everything to start from scratch.

[@BetUBetterB]

Hey Jason is that the WILD BADGER trimmer?

[@lawncarelife]

Yes, it is heavy but works fine

[@shanewhittemore]

Great job Jason, man you had an extra cup of coffee that morning!!!

[@heekomogwin]

Wondering if those weed control products and fertilizer are toxic for outdoor cats or Other animals like groundhogs or squirrels etc.

[@AntLive29]

[@leezap]

Toxic for human. I have a 5000 ft lot so it's not that big. I'm going to try to pull the weeds by hand. I've already done 8 hours of it and it's doable in the front of the house.

[@Ahkomaton]

I recommend putting some soft music over the clips of cutting the yard instead of speeding it up cause it speeds up the audio and it's very high pitched.

[@Ahkomaton]

Especially the trimming clips!

[@lawncarelife]

Ok

[@scottbuck7911]

I'm curious why you don't use your ride on spreader/sprayer.

[@lawncarelife]

I use it sometimes. Depends on the yard

[@rodeerex4413]

Is change up safe to use on cool season lawns?

[@BetUBetterB]

I been thinking bout getting one

[@tgdtown]

Great Job!

[@chiranagheorghitaeugeniuth98]

it is more effective to spray erbicides and after 1 week trim . More surface contact and better absorbtion.

[@seger27]

Love the transformational videos!
