How to Spring Overseed a Cool Season Lawn 

Cool. I’m going to be doing renovations over Labor Day weekend too!

Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try this year when I dethatch and make a new video about it.

I’m trying to convince my wife, that’s her area. She has done a wonderful job with all the color in our landscaping.

@@TheBitsonEffect yes sir!! She did a great job, I like the different textures. It will be very helpful if she can include the name, how long they last, care of the plant before, during, and after planting it. Thanks family and God Bless You!!

Typically you don't dethatch a warm season grass like Zoysia because you can pull up or damage the runners. If you do have a thatch problem, it's best to scalp it down first, then use the dethatcher. That being said, depending on your normal cut of height (and because of the bag issue it sounds like it may be a bit high), you should be okay. Zoysia likes to be cut at 1/2" up to 2". Anything over 2" is not ideal for it. You just thinned it out. I suggest applying a fertilizer with around 16-4-8. I use Simple Lawn Solutions, but there are others. A good one is PGF Complete. Water daily and let the sun do its thing for it. Zoysia loves the sun. I didn't have any issues with the bag at my house, but I cut my lawn at 1 to 1-1/2". I remember having a small issue at my sisters house (cut normally around 3"), but I just removed it because there was so much thatch coming up that I had to keep stopping every pass.

@@TheBitsonEffect thank you. I am testing it using the Rock & Rocker set to 0 and 1 just to pick up clips using the power rake not the scarier. I do not cut the grass. The HOA does it. So I have no control unless I do it myself I have read that recommend high for empire zoysia is 2-3 inches and from what I see in the lawn company contract it says 3-4 inches. I am part of the HOA I might need to get more information about this. But yes, I am sure that is too high.

@@JavierRivera It's true recommend cut height is 1/2" to 2". The HOA is saying 3"-4" because they don't want to have to cut it more than once a week. Remember, the lower you cut (no matter the grass type), the more often you have to mow. That's why golf courses are mowing the greens daily and fairways every other day. The more often you mow, the more healthy, thick, and full your lawn gets too.

Thank you, EverythingTypical M.

The price is a bit outrageous, which is puzzling because Ryobi always prices their stuff for good value. The Rock & Rocker one is decent. Definitely better than Sun Joe! 😂

Amen, Brother.
