How To Plant Grass Seed FAST SUMMER / FALL over seeding Lawn renovation (part 1 of 2) 

Of course! Home projects can be expensive so I tried to do this project on a budget. I got a few quotes which would’ve been a few grand to redo my yard. End cost for a DIY was a few hundred. Thanks for watching :)

Hahaha yes it’s the sacred top soil dance!

Thanks for watching!

Same here my man. Findlay Ohio!!

Let us know how it turns out please 😄 best of luck 🙌

How’d it turn out man? :)

Thanks for watching and subbing!

Did not think of that smart idea, thanks for watching!

I have an updated video on what it looks like after the seed is grown, as of today snow is covering my lawn, wouldn’t make for a good video :) thanks for watching

Thanks for watching! WHO DAT

Yes I did. Thanks for watching! I’ll be doing the same to my backyard as well this year

Hi thanks for watching. Check out part two on my channel

@@citykidoutdoors8716 can't see part 2

Bryan Harrington the reason why I waited was because I sprayed weed killer on it and i didn’t want it to mess with the seeds. You are right tilling again could have been an option, I just didn’t want to rent a tiller and do the labor again. Thanks for watching!

@@citykidoutdoors8716 Right, I keep forgetting of all the basic tools I don't have I happen to actually own a tiller and not everyone else does. Go Figure. Would your process have been the same if you have tilled it up skipping the weeding step?

Bryan Harrington well, to be honest it really isn’t recommended to till. What I’ve been told is by you tilling you’re actually turning over the weeds and you’re replanting the seeds of the weeds by doing so. When I tilled my yard I did so in a manner that I wasn’t fully tilling, I basically used the tiller to rip up the weeds and I raked out the weeds and removed them. If I had to do it again I would probably rent a sod cutter, remove a few inches of my barren wasteland, add more soil, and then overseed.

Thanks for watching!

Kishan Kanugula hi I purchased the seeds from a local nursery, I recommend you visit one near you, most nursery’s will have a blend that works well for your location

Do I need topsoil if grass has been neglected for a few years?

I think it was about two short bed truck loads. It may vary for you depending on how level your lawn is. Thanks for watching!

ReaganVFilms watering will be different based off of a few variables, seed, time of year, temperatures/humidity. Did you top dress it with a thin layer of topsoil or peet moss? I can’t give an exact water recommendations as everyone’s irrigation system is different. My best advice is to keep the soil moist. Do not soak it in water creating a pool in your yard but do not let it dry out either if the seed dries out too much it can be possible for it to not germinate at all. My best advice to you is to play around with your sprinkler system which is what I did. I started with 5minutes twice a day but I realized once it got too hot in the middle of the day my soil was dry so I split it up into sections of the day watering my grass slightly every few hours or so ensuring that the dirt/seed did not dry out.

Thank you 🙏 stay tuned I have my transformation results coming soon in an upcoming video

I will. looking forward to it

update video is now up :)

@@citykidoutdoors8716 you gained a subscriber off that alone! Good vid btw

Kaw Shin haha I appreciate it thanks for watching!

I let it rest on top without packing it down. Thanks for watching!

@@citykidoutdoors8716 appreciate it already applied it. I did notice some people wait to fertilize until the seed has grown at least 2 inches but I fertilized it right away

ben lopez I started seeding in the middle of July. While not practical, it definitely is possible

@@citykidoutdoors8716 against all odds 🤙. Thanks for the reply

Arraya Kesaporn watering will be different based on your sprinkler system. I watered mine multiple times a day, just make sure that your soil stays moist and does not dry out, very important for the germination process of your seeds. But do not over water them and make a swimming pool in your yard.

I would ask whoever gave you an estimate to explain what those charges are if they haven’t already.( price per square feet on sod, install?, delivery? Soil?) also call around your local sod farms and get different quotes. I have about a thousand square feet in my yard and depending on which sod I went with I was quoted around 12-1600 if I can remember correctly

I want to say around $200 can’t remember exactly.

jaguaresed this was my first time ever doing it lol. Besides mowing grass I didn’t have any experience before this.

It was from a local sod farm

Doesn’t have a name it was from my local sod farm

jasminemakeup212 premier peat moss turba, it’s in a white and green bag I believe I got it at Lowe’s or Home Depot can’t remember. As far as seed goes it was a blend from a local nursery.

Adding topsoil before seeding was to help level it out. Not 100% necessary but it helps

Sod is more expensive and more labor. I figured I needed to relieve the yard anyways so why not throw seed down as well

Not sure what this means

Don’t worry I’m sure my truck could handle half a scoop of topsoil, it’s a truck I use it for it’s purpose what can I say lol. Thanks for watching

@@citykidoutdoors8716 I watched because I’ve just done the same thing, lawn repair. Turned out good.

Jonny G, as long as you know how much weight your truck can carry (legally), you're not going to damage the suspension or axles. All you have to do is COMMUNICATE your weight limit to the office and to the person loading you. The person loading you, providing they've been doing it for awhile, should know exactly how big a scoop they can get into your truck legally.

@@superdishmonkey I'd rather use a trailer than scratch up a nice truck like that..regardless of weight, but that's just me.

Just came back from picking up some more seed unfortunately they only deal local. But I would recommend going to a local nursery or sod farm near you they would have the best blends ideal for your area thanks for watching

Bought the house from some people that trashed the place and renovated the whole thing. Trust me, it was worse

@@citykidoutdoors8716 Im sure the neighbors loved them, terrible to have something nice but not care for it. I think you had a lot to do on the 🏡, nice job.

@@johngreene7130 yeah.. they absolutely hated them lol. I agree really is a shame to trash a place, speaking of garbage you should’ve seen all the beer cans and pregnancy tests I found in the yard if that tells you anything about the old tenants lmao. Thanks for the kind words brotha

@@citykidoutdoors8716 my skin crawled a bit there, very bad, not raised right. But you have it looking good!

I heard the Pete moss keeps from birds eating up your seeds. Also renting a barrel leveler from home depot to compact it into the soil
