Buffalo project lawn FULL PREP, RENOVATION, RECOVERY 

Love a Buffalo reno - finally! Thanks a bunch for tackling this lawn variety

Very good guide with basic equipment & products. I personally would of used a granular fert, soil wetter and pre emergent. Came back a few weeks later and sprayed the weeds. Scalped, used your ryobi scarifier with the dethaching rake giving it a single pass on the highest setting, top dressed and fertilised again. You can give buffalo a heavier scalp than you done, about 18-22mm is a happy height for rotary mowing, 15-18mm if cylinder mowing. A nice light vertimow will also help remove a bit more of the excessive material and cut some runners which will actually aid in a faster recovery. Im not sure what Ben sells the product as, but MatchPlay Renoblen which Ben would sell as a renovation fertiliser would help the recovery and restore nutrients in the soil.

Great video mate thanks for sharing 👍

Loved the video, you make it look easy. If I were to core aerate my buffalo lawn, at what point in the reno would this be done? Thank you!

Looks like there was still a lot of dead matter in there, definitely should have run at least the power rake attachment on a Ryobi scarifyer over it a few times to bring that stuff up. Would've also gone down a little lower too afterwards, at least the 4 setting across the whole area to vacuum that dead matter out once it's been power raked. A lot of people are too cautious with buffalo I think. I do a Reno on my neighbors front lawn every year, and I bring it back down to a 3 on my masport president 4000 after a few runs of the power rake, then give it a top dress with sandy loam. Doesn't look amazing (no Reno's do) but comes up a treat after a few weeks. Of course, bringing up all the dead matter would mean a lot of green waste to get rid of, far more than would fit in a standard green waste bin and would probably need a small trailer for. Keep up the good work bro 💪🏼

What was that weed puller contraption please ?

Would you dethatch for buffalo grass, or is there a better way to get rid of dead grass matter ?

Hey bro, any update on this one? 😅

Do we need to aerate our buffalo lawns?

Nice work mate.

Any chance you can recommend someone in Victoria for a lawn rescue?

Loving the videos. Do you think it is too late in the year to do this type of Reno on a Buffalo lawn?
