Dude, I have those 3 Things! I ve been planning this years over seed and in my head what I came up with and was planning on doing as it makes the most sense for my situation and my yard was exactly THE PROCESS! II am in the northeast and my front is fairly uneven with lots of bumps, so I was think I wanted to do the worst parts with soil as I also have a lot of roots that will need a deeper layer and then do a light sand also I know it will take a few overseedings but I’m willing to wait! Great info though! Been watching your vids for quite a while now, and I have to beg honest I haven’t subscribed but just did, you grew on me I guess!

I just got some dirt from my back yard to keep my soil the same and mix in some milorganite , first dethatched by hand mowed with my American reel push…Then punch holes with two prong foot aerator that sucked. Then tossed on my back yard dirt mix in the bad low spots. Then put my seed down followed by a little bit of fert. I normally don’t like to fertilize with much nitrogen early in seeding but I was feeling froggy. Last year I neglected my lawn the year before it was like a Fairway. This year I’m committing to having best on the block again. 😊

[@rodgersandrodgers8191]

I guess I'm really going to have to use Bermuda. To be honest I do not mow my own lawn. I have a lawn person that comes in and basically only mow's and blows. I say I'm going to have to go to Bermuda because I jumped the gun. I bought myself a 40 lb bag of Barenbrug. RTF Fescue. That is overkill for what I own. My total loan is only about 750 ft². I was thinking I could just basically keep overseeding with this until it all came into tall fescue. Now I have a worthless 40 lb bag of the RTF. Lol have you ever stop by Vegas you can pick up this bag. I am going to have to figure out what type of Bermuda I want to put down now. Any suggestions? As you can tell I guess I add more pennies than sense. 😁

I am cutting at 1/2" and it's just as think as if I was cutting at 1" ... so crazy! 😊🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 What was wrong last summer? grass went dormant?

[@DYNABIKE1]

I'm only reason I'm laughing is because THIS is sooooo Cool and also WAY over the top. !!! Dude You deserve the Bsst Lawn - -- WOW !! What a process - - -

[@levernarethomas2505]

Great video I live in Kansas City and i wanna do the process method. I have a hill can i do this in this time in June? Or do i have to wait til fall or spring?

[@YardBrah]

In my opinion if you water enough you can seed anytime except for freezing temps or 100°weather 😂 I would pre germinate your seed so once you put it down its just maintaining with water but water is key! Go for it 😊👊🏾🤙🏾🔥🙏🏾

[@stevenshamie-op3ug]

Can the process be done in the spring (now) in the Northeast with great result or better to wait until Fall?

[@YardBrah]

Oh the process can def be done in the spring!!! Just make sure your soil temps are above 50° so the seed can germinate! To be safe consistent 55° soil temps 😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@RJ-os1xh]

How come I found this video so late. I am in Long Island and I going to over seed my lawn because some bare spot. Is it too late?

[@YardBrah]

You should be fine pre germinate the seed so you give it a fighting chance for summer! 😊🙏🏾🤙🏾🔥

[@daff5507]

hey man, can I do the proper overseed but adding top soil? will it benefit it with or without it?

[@YardBrah]

Yes adding top soil with give you added nutrients and is always a good idea for any lawn as long as you put down some tenacity to kill off any of the potential foreign grasses that might be hidden in the soil. For "The Process" It's always top soil or sand and it works everytime! 😊🤙🏾🔥🙏🏾

[@wak6486]

Is 5 a good setting for dethatching? On the sunjoe dethatcher

[@YardBrah]

Yeah it’s gonna go deeper I usually go 0 for verticut and lower for dethatch… but if I’m going low I’m also overseeding… level 0 is good for maintenance 😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🔥

[@Snowake86]

North Bend, WA here… did you end up killing all the poa?

[@YardBrah]

Hey neighbor! Poa is controlled very well with the prograss ec! Not seeing anything popping up this spring check out my latest vids to see the lawn 😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🔥

[@Sing620hff]

How hard do u rake? Isn’t there a chance of making bare spots if u move too much?

[@YardBrah]

Just a light rake to get the seed down to touch soil you’re always gonna have some bare spots just add more seed 😊🙏🏾🔥👊🏾🤙🏾

[@miguelmedina823]

If I have a bahia lawn, can I overseed with the Barenbrug? Or should I overseed with Bahia seed?

[@YardBrah]

I’m not the warm season expert but from what I’ve learned is unless your are in a transition zone you cannot mix cool season with warm …. If your straight up I’m the south then I would overseed with Bahiiiiiiiiiiiiya again for sure 😂😂😂😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥 @lawncarenut has the scoop on Bahiiiiiiiya grass for sure 😂😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@bennyboy0773]

I'd love to know the rough cost of all 3 of these methods and how they compare and contrast with the results. I'm sure they all pass the 10 foot test (that they look great from 10 feet away), but im sure the more you spend, the better they look on much closer inspection. All 3 look amazing, it certainly looks like the US have much better choice of seed than we do here in the UK (good grass probably lackls the hardiness for our year-long rubbish weather).

[@YardBrah]

Well of course it’s going to be more expensive with all the tools and depends on the seed you choose but these all pass the up close and personal and touching my grass test 😂😂😂 no 10 footer lawn here 😂🤙🏾

[@MightyHex]

How often are you to do the process?

[@YardBrah]

If I didn’t have a KZbin channel once a year just spring.. but I do the process at least 3 times a year 😂😂😂🤙🏾

[@guruwu1566]

Where's the AIRAOTOR??? Drop a link for them please!!!

[@YardBrah]

Rollaerator.com 😂😂😂🙏🏾

[@IamJLAD]

I’m in NC and the soil is clay will these methods still work?

[@YardBrah]

If it were me I would roto till the clay, add compost, then roto till again to mix the compost in… then roll it flat and start the process 😊🙏🏾🤙🏾🔥

[@raincitywoman]

Can I do overseed now? Or is it too late in PNW? This my first home and the lawn was nice when we moved in September but I didn’t do anything, and after the December snow - it is brownish and light green. I tried to do it all - the watering, the mowing, the fertilizers, and it improves - but not like we had. I just don’t want it to look totally brown soon

[@YardBrah]

Def do the process now just make sure to get a water timer and water 3 times a day for 10-15 min at a time and you’ll see results 😊👊🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾

[@raincitywoman]

@@YardBrah thank you so much, you are so helpful.

[@markchoi508]

What is the brand of the aerator you use in the video?

[@YardBrah]

Rollaerator.com 😊🙏🏾👊🏾🤙🏾

[@rodeerex4413]

I’m also in the PNW where do u get barenbrug seed? Or did you just order online?

[@YardBrah]

Aye what’s up! You can try most Ace hardwares carry barenbrug but you can also use my Amazon links in the description I’ve listed a couple 😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🔥

[@s.s.4170]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you lay down a preemergent, how will the grass seed germinate? I thought a preemergent stopped germination of seeds, of course weed seeds, but does it know the difference?

[@YardBrah]

You know the label says it’s safe to use it during seeding and as you can see it’s never been affected and has always germinated 😊🤙🏾

[@s.s.4170]

@@YardBrah Good to know. I over-seeded and wish I had used it. I wouldn't be dealing with a million little elm seedling coming up in the lawn.

[@YardBrah]

@@s.s.4170 You can always use it as post emergent! After your 2nd mow you can spray tenacity.... warning though it will turn the grass white for at least a month it's the bleaching side effect of the herbicide, it's annoying to look at but you won't have any grassy weeds...if it's just weeds use t-zone 15 days after germination! 😊🤙🏾

[@ballershanelle]

He could have worn spiker shoes for all of the times that he walked that lawn. moreso,he needs a compost spreader and add the seed and peet moss or mushroom . It will roll out vs him backing breaking with the soil addition. Y not he has lots of toys. I can see the ease with this lil lawn but i have 3/4 acres

[@YardBrah]

I mean I totally wore those spike aerator shoes first and 2nd season 😂😂😂 kinda hard to balance on spikes on the sidewalks 😂😂😂 my lawn may be small but it smashes on all neighbors! Thanks for watching 😊🙏🏾🤙🏾🔥

[@ballershanelle]

@@YardBrah yes! U rule that whole block! . U could almost kill off the lawn and try new grass types every few years, if you wished . Keep it stripped and luscious. ;)

[@YardBrah]

@@ballershanelle haha I mean that might be the plan right... anytime we get bored with a grass type we can start a new reno 😂😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🔥

[@IsaiMadera-et3kq]

What up, YardBrah, I overseeded my lawn. I have germination action going on. My existing grass is getting tall. What do I do in this situation? I don't have a reel mower. I just have an ego push mower.

[@YardBrah]

If it's been 21 days go ahead and cut level 3 for the first cut no problem just one pass in and out 😊🤙🏾

[@IsaiMadera-et3kq]

Thanks for the response, I appreciate it! 🤙🏾

[@Rinacgolf]

What kind of sand was that you used?

[@YardBrah]

That was big box store mason sand and playground sand, this year I'm using silica sand 😊🤙🏾🔥🙏🏾

[@peterhong526]

It's crazy what Americans spend on lawncare. That's the excuse I make(to my wife), every time I let our lawn grow into a lush, thick jungle...

[@YardBrah]

😂😂😂 we do spend a ton 😂👊🏾😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🔥
