Aerate the Lawn. CORE AERATION. Raise a sprinkler head 

Funny, my construction friend was telling me about you. I am 72 and love my yard. I have worked on it for 12 years. I am no where close to your excellence. We were laughing because I just ordered my lawn sprinkler system. It will be installed in 2 weeks. This will be a game change for me. I am obsessed with my lawn. It makes me happy!! Thanks for sharing

I’m convinced that you are just making up the names for dahlias now...

It’s all looking great and the new seed. Hiring a core aerator this weekend can’t wait to see the results. Thanks for the how to videos

just did some sprinkler repair today...of course wearing the lawn rebel shirt for +30 patience! Keep being awesome Connor!

You did it! The grass is growing.

Heck yeah. Love this time of year on your lawn.. aerate and sand.

The dahlia's are looking great! For some reason I never have any luck with them and will just have to enjoy them through your videos.

You make great videos and the info you show is priceless, keep it up I love them ! 😃

I used a baseball field chain mat drag to break up my cores. Worked perfect. It's like a very thin top dressing with nutrients.

Always good to see a video of yours come up in my notifications. Someone said this in the comments to your previous video but it's worth repeating: I like that you're not pushing product on us, amigo. What ever happened to simple lawn care videos where folks just offered lawncare tips? 🤷🏽‍♂️

Love your videos! Keep up the good work. All the way from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻

Love it! I am looking forward every day to the next video! ☺️☺️

Now this is an art! 🤩

Favorite grass guy on youstubes hands down

I don't blame you. I clean up my cores as well. Keep doing things your way. It works for you brother.

Connor is in to core business! Keep it up, love from Sweden.

Loved the vid as usual, keep em coming you big safety sally.

Rebel your a legend

Love your content and you are.a funny guy too. Keep it coming. Great info that is very helpful!

Core, pick up cores, sand, micros and water. Good job.

nice looking cores!

They keep sand moist because most applications of it need to be immediately compacted for various construction purposes. Plus if they drove down the road with dry sand, you'd pay for 15 tonnes, and have 2 tonnes blow away out the back before it got to you! All that said, I was still waiting to see one of those slabs just pop in two. Tehee!

Another Quality video, new seeded area is looking good! i just raised 2 heads with that same 3/4 M/F adapter surprised they don't sell them at my local big box store

1:48 me every time i use the weedeater

Don't care too much about other people, do it your way, that's the only right way. 👌

Great video

Amazing Dahlias lawns looks good,from a LookieLou London.

I laughed so hard when he realized the key wasn’t turned. Lol

Awesome 👍

Look at that safety sally aerating and mowing. Good thing Sister Ward was there to show you how to do things properly.

Thanks for not trying to sell us stuff.

"that's what she said" count: 23

Your aerating about as fast @ryanknorrlawn mows his grass 😁 Slow and Easy always wins the race. Aerating is some good stuff! 👍👍

I dig the hat!

Has anyone else watched Connor's old leveling videos in anticipation for the next video? Me too

Damn it Connor, you're taking away our fun by saying what we are going to leave in the comments! But in all seriousness, golf courses collect their plugs too. At least on the greens and tee boxes.

Decided to hire out aeration this year after the ordeal that was renting one from a big box store last year. Loading one of those things into the SUV = not fun.

I have a tool for extracting the extensions. It is a toothed taper with a T handle that you wedge into the extensions and twist it out.

That same thing happened to me the last time I sharpened my blade. I was yanking that cord like it was a Kenner SSP race car. Just as I began having a conniption fit, I realized it was because YOU told me to disconnect the Ryan Knorr wire before taking the blade off.

Those gorilla carts ARE awesome!

Ok, next time I do core aeration, I am renting one of those! The last one I used about killed me!

I agree with everything you say in your video, especially since it is your lawn! One awesome compliment is using the type of aerator you used, it is chain driven (I believe) but has much more of the effect of hydrolic pressure. If your rental place has maybe a toro stand on available for rent, or since you are so loyal about your toro equipment maybe they should send you a shout out and send a rep with one to use for the day. Crank that pressure up and go deep (at least it would likely go deeper than Allyn, that is what she said). Time is always a concern for all, but aerate in two to three directions. The % of surface you are removing is so small that those who try to say don't remove the cores are idiots, plus about half of the total is organic material, the nitrogen you have used is absorbed much deeper than at about 1/4 inch (only Ryan has absorption problems in the 1/4 inch or shallower range, that is also what she said). Only thing I would do differently is aerate deeper and multiple times... if putting in the effort and especially following it up with the topdressing, aerify in three directions at least and if possible with hydrolic pressure twice a deep. It is a shame you cant find a topdresser in your area from a rental.

You see that !!! First turn of the key folks !!!

Hey Connor, just watched your how to make a lawn drag video. Just a thought if you drilled the holes where you attach the rope right to the front I reckon that that might solve the problem of it flipping over.

You tell em brotha, you pick up the cores because you're the Lawn Rebel!

Connor...packing his mud. :-)

Hammer Rasen, Respekt

You tell em Connor.. I pick up the cores too..

Nice work. Its nice that sister ward gets involved. There is no way my wife would use an aerator or, as in previous vids, operate a chainsaw! Fair play to her. That new seed is coming in good too 👌🏻

The best Canadian accent on RU-vid 🔥💯 o and the lawn is 🔥🔥🔥 too

I think Doc said it best. You get rid of the cores because the goal is to loosen up the soil and if you leave the cores you're just putting them back in place over time and causing the ground to be compact again. #SuperJuice

Making the right move Connor! Get ride of the cores and fill the holes with sand you will have a much better foundation!

Connor got my first Lookie Loo the other day, I think I’ll need to buy one of your super large Lawn Rebel shirts so I can start telling the Wife of all the Lookie Loo’s! Please tell me you got shirts for the Fluffy viewers.

Ive done that with my blower that day had been long it ended pulling on a blower for 30 minutes until i flipped the switch

Connor, you magnificent beast!

Lol! Connor! YOU ARE A LEGEND , anyway, I’m with you on the aerator front, what’s with the key? 🤷‍♀️

You do know a lot of golf courses just mow those cores with reel mowers and boom all done

So no kill off, bummer. Still excited for the sand job.

Seed is coming in nicely! Where would you recommend one purchase a used greensmaster in Utah? Thanks!

Exactly it's your lawn you an mrs lawn rebel decide not RU-vid subs thanks for another great video now I want to aerate lol

I've watched a bunch of these videos now and love all of them. Still not sure if any of these flower names are real or not lol.

How do you stake up those dahlias? Do they hold each other up if you plant them close? They look great!

Hello Mr Rebel. Do you aerate before fall? Thanks!

Doing exactly what you should be doing with those cores, dont listen to all the knuckleheads about leaving them there

He says and I quote “you wanna pack your mud in there”!

Wow your garden is so nice, looking great this summer but next summer your lawn once it’s filled in is going to be 12 out of 10😁

Nice and level. Gorgeous. Lol maybe needs another pull....lol 😂💛🌱💯👍

What brand / company did you get your white fence from? I like how it slants towards the front.

What are your plans for the landscaping after the dahlias are lifted?

First Aussie 😁. Core Er Down. 😎👍👍

Punching straight down was my nickname in college 🙃

Looks like a lot of work! Your son should be about old enough now to help out haha

What sprinkler heads do you use Connor?

I need to do this for my lawn. Heavy red clay. I would absolutely be collecting the cores. I want as less clay as possible.

Keys are they "key" to most problems

beautiful dahlias! you planning on selling bulbs?

nice aeration vid. BTW, SHOW US THE FOOD FROM THE LAST VIDEO!!!!

You did the right thing by removing the cores ,don’t let that ryan knorr boy tell you any different.

Hey Connor, question about your sprinkler system, are you on Well Water? If so the water you use in the system, has it gone through a iron breaker or water softener? I wanna install a sprinkler setup on 3 acres but not sure if I should run it through iron breaker and water softener... would that be ok in the lawn? Right now I run it through a iron breaker but the water is so hard that my sprinklers are rusting after 2 months of use or less. Keep up the good work!

Dude! I have a GM 1000 and I just put a new reel on it. I'm cutting at 1" HOC but it doesn't cut all the blades. I go over two or three time and still doesn't get all the blades. I swapped the reel out from 14 blade to 8 blade. Cut's paper easy so reel to bed knife seems to be on par. Grass is KBG. What am I missing?

where do you get all those great dahlias from Connor?

Usually when I do one of those simple head swaps I end up with 3x as many tools deployed and the time has also tripled because of all the unforeseens.

Yeah I like that style aerator too

Love love Love...the low key....FU at very end of Video Middle Finger on Point lol

We built our home in the country that was on pasture grass. We now have a Bluegrass lawn but I always think when I aerate am I bringing up tons of old clump fescue seeds to the surface? Am I doing more harm than good?

Can never tell if you're just making up the names of the flowers (boogie nights) or those are the actual names. Neither would surprise me and that's why I love this non "how-to" channel. 😁

Jeez, that's the biggest one they have? That must have taken a few days to do!

Can you rent a stand on aerator like what ExMark has??

If you had a Swardman you could pick up the cores while you de-thatch.

I could feel the pain of pulling that cord so many times!

Did you ever get your shovel back?

Bingo!😎👊

What is that short green shrub along the back of the house by the porch behind the dahlias? Is that a row of boxwoods?

Will the core aerator damage sprinkler heads on a lawn that has irrigation? Do you have to steer clear of them? Wondering and thanks for sharing another great video....

The sand doesn't look too wet, but looks a bit more like 6 or 8 worth?? Perhaps mine are different here. That lawn is going to be so level and happy in a few weeks

This really felt like a "How to" video. 😂

Do you ever get tired of redoing the lawn with sand every year? I moved into a new house 3 years ago so I've done my third renovation in a row. I'm trying to level and overtake the lawn with this good seed. I really hope I don't have to do this next year. Don't you ever think about taking a year off doing it?

Can those dahlias grow in hawaii?

Hate those cut off sprinkler risers they always snap on me.

@Connor, how do you keep your trampoline from leaving lines in your lawn. Other than moving it it a round weekly, I was curious what you do.
