I'm at high elevation with low humidity, so I water it at night.

@joeyrangel3927 6 лет назад

Yo Pete, first off, God bless you brother! Secondly, I live in northern Indiana and we're going through that here in the past week around 90 and 90+ temps. I have Kentucky Blue Grass with irrigation, but still use your watering technique. OMGOSH what I difference in my yard compared to last year. I haven't mowed it during this time, and I added a day of watering from 2 to 3 days, and I've been syringing every day. Man, I have the nicest and greenest grass in my neighborhood! They're asking me the secret, so I just send them your videos. Thanks again for what you do, brother!

First RU-vid turf video I’ve seen that talks about cooling the turf down to relieve stress ... nice!

@nauticalnovice9244 2 года назад

If you'd have native grass or "weeds" you wouldn't need a single drop of water. Lawns are so incredibly wasteful. I absolutely hate them.

Hate having a big yard. Need rain very badly. My last cut I did at 4.50 inches. So not mowing again until rain.

@johnnydollarhide9466 3 года назад

I’m out in CA and we regularly get 95 all summer, I’ve always been told you will burn your lawn if you water mid day, but I think I’ll take your word on trying to cool the lawn at 3:00 for 5 min

@hadleymanmusic Год назад

Man I love fescue . Im not cuttin right now 103° im waterin. The next cuts gonna be a top nip anyway usually mandatory before rain but there is none

@mre3161 6 лет назад

Great Video Pete, I have been doing this for many years and it always works/ helps. The late afternoon watering also helps rehydrate the turf plants especially if they're needling and you can clearly see what areas need water ASAP

@waltham1654 2 года назад

Thanks, very good information.

@ldware9 6 лет назад

Thanks for the advice. I'm in Kansas and the heat has been kicking for the last 2 months. I have been watering every 2 days trying to keep the soil cool and the grass alive. I'll back it down to every 3 days and and extra watering after I get home from work.

Pete do you service Thomasville? Been keeping up with your videos! Love them! Looking to do a yard Reno

@ShanepxII 6 лет назад

The Milo side looked like it was stressed far less than the Academy side. There seemed to be a very distinct difference between the two colors

@GCITurf 6 лет назад

Hmmm not sure bud go back to :56 the part closest to me is milo where all the brown is.. The rear is academy where theres still color they both are stressed in the ditch line where it does not hold water

@ShanepxII 6 лет назад

GCI Turf Services...well shit Pete... you are correct. I thought the far side was the Milo. Yeah the Academy side looks WAY better. Love your videos. I can see and hear the passion for lawns and landscaping. Great job brother!

@eltondavisjr Год назад

Hi Pete, I’m in Ohio and have a mix of Tall Fescue And Blue Grass. I’ve begun over seeding with your Cool Blue last year. I every year I Seem to get yellow splotches on grass blades and can’t figure out why. Any tips?

@ColonelK0rn1 6 лет назад

Good advice on syringing the lawn. It was a scorcher here in Savannah, had heat indices over 102°F, and it only going to get hotter through the week. Good thing I had the pool to jump into!

@JeffSmith-eq3kc Год назад

I have a 1,200 square foot bentgrass putting green in my backyard and without this cooling process Pete is talking about my turf would die in August every year. I have actually now installed a couple industrial type misting fans for when it gets super hot to help with cooling the turf and giving it some airflow. Its so important i have looked at tents with misters to give the turf a break during the hottest days. Bentgrass cut at .150" doesnt like 95 and humid at all.

@brandoncasner3221 Год назад

I finally finished my lawn system 8 zones 13000 sqft excited to get top soil down and get to watering no more heat stress hopefully

@DonaldAJr 5 лет назад

I fully admit I might not know everything but Gold Courses don't do that. They water about 2 a.m. every night in the summer. I remember that from when I was a kid and I lived in an apartment where my windows faced the golf course at age 24 to 28 and I never saw them turn the system on until about 2 a.m. there as well. What's the difference?

@billhults8629 6 лет назад

I got some stress going on... Not TOO bad, but surprised it showed up right quick after 4 HOT days. This, and the fungi application did it's job...and the affected turf is pushing through.

@dsbyrd918 6 лет назад

First off just wanted to say great videos I have learned so much since I stumbled upon them. I have a few questions I just bought my house and want to reseed in the fall ( with gci seed of course) could I spray the yard in 2-4-d to kill the weeds before reseeding or jut wait until spring and use pre-emergant, and also what rating fertilizer should I use when seeding? Thanks and god bless

@nextg5062 6 лет назад

I had kentucky bluegrass sod put down last month and some areas are going dormant while others are just thinning out even though I mow and water it properly. Please help!!!

@WeatherNut27 6 лет назад

Haha, love the blooper. Luckily the northeast getting some cold fronts dropping through but browning happening everywhere now. My last mow was 7 days ago and not ready for next mow yet.

@DrCbass123 6 лет назад

We've been dealing with the same heat in WV. Been in the high 90s for several days. We got lucky though and had some really heavy thunderstorms roll through to help cool us off a little. And I'm pretty sure those sprinklers know exactly when you turn your back cause they'll get you everytime!

@dtuchamps1 6 лет назад

Hey Pete, been watching your videos for the past couple of weeks, great stuff! I had a question that I haven't seen discussed on any of the videos Ive come across on your channel. I have newly laid tall fescue sod (1 week) and I wanted to see what was recommended as far as watering in these beginning stages. Here in Texas its reaching 101-104 daily now. Irrigation is in and the sod is getting 40 minute run early morning (7AM) and two 20 min rounds at 12 noon and 3:45PM. Is this optimal for newly laid sod? Thanks in advance!!!

@wayneessar7489 6 лет назад

I was taught to cycle sprinklers or hand water for a short time, fairly soon after mowing especially during times of disease, to wash off the guttation water that oozes from the cut leaf blades. I have never heard about this practice from you folks in the south. Are your grasses not as fluid filled as here?

@Brian1. 6 лет назад

Thanks Pete for your help.

@cgolden2640 5 лет назад

Any worries about the everyday short waterings shallowing out/training them to seek low surface water preventing the roots from seeking the lower ground water?

@Bluepittt20 6 лет назад

I do to this because I heard it in one of allyn Haynes video ,people always say your gonna burn and kill the grass around here when I do it ,great to have a explenation to give them next time,great video

@donttreadonmining9146 6 лет назад

Thanks for another informative video, Pete! I did exactly what you describe in your video a week or so ago..we had temps here from 112-118° The 7 week old BABY lawn seems to have made it through pretty well. I did run all stations for a short cycle 3 times a day instead of just once but, to have TTTF/ KBG make it through heat like that was something of a miracle! Anyway, just wanted to thank you for the videos and info. I appreciate the time you spend in production of the content on RU-vid.

@danielgrandon2701 5 лет назад

Thanks for sharing Pete. I'll keep waking up early to get my sprinklers started to prevent the chance of disease from watering in the evening. Might need to get some timers to help me get an extra hour of sleep!

@Doober80 6 лет назад

Good tip. My lawn has been in stress mode since mid May. Spring decided to cut out early this year. Been super hot and dry here in NE Oklahoma for about 30 days straight. The good news is that for the next few days, we will only be in the low 90s with some good rain chances. Have a great week and look forward to the surprise bro!

@GCITurf 6 лет назад

@Prtygrl44 6 лет назад

what time of the day should I water? I know they say the early in the morning the better! I have a Timer now, so I can do it @ 4:30 am, but how much? I have 1.000 Square feet about and I can NOT put two hoses not enough water pressure so I have to put it mid lawn and do the corners by hand :x Thanks

@GCITurf 6 лет назад

early morning is best for deep watering this video shows how to cool off the grass after a hot day

@subystyle719 6 лет назад

Thanks for the knowledge your passing on. I'm learning .

@sheilathornton6395 5 лет назад

You say you’re not going to cut the grass and I agree but what about your customers? What does a lawn maintenance company do when they get paid to cut the grass? If we don’t cut the fescue during the extreme heat...we don’t get paid. How do you handle this issue with your customers?

Cooling the lawn down with water is a good idea, but revive granules are a better idea. Break up the soil. Reduce the stress. greens up the lawn, It works great for me.

@robertswift6101 6 лет назад

someone said it was bad to water the lawn at noon or afternoon in the blazing heat....when watering for 5-10 mins,,most of it will evaporate or it will boil the grass and soil unless its a heavy soaking....not sure if there is any truth to this or not...just something i heard about...i always try to water my lawn about 6 am in the morning or so.

@jayp4121 6 лет назад

Robert Swift i was wondering the same thing! I hope Pete weighs in on this one, i got warm season bermuda hybrid...

@GCITurf 6 лет назад

Robert Swift I’ve been doing having my clients do this for years. Works great for us. Working in my yard as well

@philbuilds116 6 лет назад

Old wives tale. Now it's not good if your goal is actually watering the lawn. Too much evaporation. The goal of a 3-10 minute sprinkling is just that. Evaporation removing heat from the ground.

@mynameisneb 6 лет назад

But as far as warm season grass, bermuda, good to keep mowing in heat? I mow at 2 inches

@GCITurf 6 лет назад

Ben Howard you dang right!

@mynameisneb 6 лет назад
