Allyn, thanks to you I am dominating my entire block! Whoo hoooo! My lawn looks like Persian carpet!🏖

Tremors movie reference with Kevin Bacon , thats going way back in the vault.

The "sharpen your mower blade man" part made me laugh out loud like a weirdo haha. Love it! Also, you inspired me to buy New Balances and I love them. Thanks homie!

Very cool video. I'll never move down south so I depend on your videos to get my warm season fix. Crazy how different it grows.

Growing St Augustine in Florida has been a huge learning experience. I had several yards in Texas with St Augustine in North Texas where the soil is clay. We also went through periods of drought every summer. Watering was pretty easy, water pretty often. In Florida i've only owned my home since Feb and yard was in pretty good shape until these last weeks of heavy rain. I was freaking out until I watched your videos and did some research. good stuff!

FF lawn is filling back in nicely after the new poles were installed.

You are a plethora of knowledge! I've learned so much watching here! My first year my lawn stayed green and full all summer!

I thought bugs were eating my grass! God bless and take care.

Great video man I loved tremors when I was a kid great movie!!!

Allyn, since fall is right around the corner, are you going to do another video on treating/killing brown patch?

wow! I've lived in Florida my whole life and this video was even very helpful and reassurant to me. Thank you Mr. Alan

Boy do I love my ohio zoysia. Running like the wind.

Fun at the freedom factory.

This question comes up all the time for those just getting into lawncare. Great video explanation!

“Sluff Off” was my nickname in college 😎🔥

I'm new to this grass here, and your right we don't have this up north. I was wondering why it was doing this. Thanks for the info.

This was a great video. I decided to move my cutting height up from 5/8 of an inch to 13/16 of an inch. My yard is very green and growing. in the Pacific Northwest. Temps have been consistently in the mid eighties. " Yard Mastery stress blend" has been awesome, I also used "green punch" with "green phite "as a stress blend liquid experiment. It worked well.

I lol’d at the tremors scene

Love it Allyn, thanks for the info as always. I guess if you’d be seeing all that top growth, that would be a good sign, because that would mean that the stolons are spreading vigorously around. My guess would be that it would be bad if you didn’t because that would mean less turf density and more area exposed for things like weeds or unwanted grasses like the wild Bermuda, try to come in and take over those uncovered areas.

Your palms are going crazy Allyn. Looks great.

This is the worst time of year for my lawn in your area. Now that I'm retired, I'm staying on my lawn....So far so good. It's been raining a lot!

I live in Maryland, just north of Baltimore City. This video helped me to understand that St Augustine grass is taking over my lawn. I thought that it was crabgrass!! I kept digging it up. Now, I will just accept my fate and stop patching with fescue. Many thanks.

Very informative mi amigo!!! Thanks again for a great video. I do like how you respond to questions down in the comment section. A lot of RU-vidrs do not interact with viewers. Much respect to you Alan. My Bermuda is looking best it has in 10 yrs thanks in part to your tips.

I started using grow regulator PGR and looks very good my st Augustine grass

Wow ... excellent video! That is exactly the way my SA is looking up here in Pinellas County. I also have that wild Bermuda growing as well. 😢 How about this rain we've been getting over the past couple of weeks? I can almost hear my SA growing! I mow at 4 inches ... only because Honda doesn't make a lift kit for their mowers. I wholeheartedly agree with your point about cutting height, some of these lawn companies are cutting too low. Looks nice and neat ... but they're cutting all the green out of it! Has a pale green look to it.

Looking good Allyn 👍🏼

That stolon was huge! It’s like a whip whacking the other Grass out of the way! Now that’s a domination line!

My KBG is kicking some serious ass right now. It’s loving life. Shoutout from utah

Super helpful!

Hmm, The more you know, Love it as always!

Thanks for the info. I was wondering too.

Great advice

That’s a nice size stolaconstrictor!!!

That is very helpful thank you

Great info, thanks

I live in Utah and have KGB and have really noticed my grass growing unevenly lately.

Very informative and helpful . Thank you.

Your recommendation for my land eroding and going downhill into county land. I've asked them to build retaining wall but they won't.

Tremors is my favorite movie ever. Literally laughed out loud, very loud.

Keep up the great content! Shout out from Riverview!

Good video, bro. I love the alpha St. Aug also, and have a lawn full of it.

Always great information....thanks

Appreciated the Tremors clip!

Thanks. I was going to send you a pm about this exact topic.

Def noticing this in my St Aug in DFW. All I see are issues and my neighbors stop me and say I have the best yard on the block. Kinda interesting

First Daniels Lawn Care haha. Awsome tips, thank you

Thank you so much for the end part of in the mow. Now on a serious note can you please do a small tid bit about the Florida day flower. It’s my arch nemesis I’ve been fighting for years and thus far they’ve been winning. Everything else I can manage. It’s only for St Augustine grass I believe. Please oh please help lol. I’m going to go mow now even though it’s not my day I’m going to get some practice for tomorrow. Like they say practice makes perfect 🤩.

very helpful thank you!

Yep, that helped; a lot.

Even though I have cool season grasses... It's always fun to learn about warm season grass from the Godfather of RU-vid Lawn Channels ;) 🤙🏾🙏🏾

Thanks coach back in the game GO Green

Hey you da MAN,,, love your videos

Outstanding explanation 😎

Allyn, does bermuda have the same growth habits where older blades died off for new one to come?

Good information. I was curious about this.

Hey LcNut can you do a video for all of us building homes here in Florida with fresh dirt. Which type of grass, should we put sprinklers in first. Anything for new Lawns. Thanks so much!

I don't envy your warm season grasses , but I do envy your Freedom in Florida . Don't know if I can purchase such a thing up here .

1:05 Every time somebody posts a closeup pic of their lawn, guys always respond with this.

Reason why when I mow I always have assorted blades that stick up and are not cut? I sharpen blade, I don't go too fast, however I always see blades uncut. Advice?

My KBG is doing that right now

I need help with Japanese boxwood bushes. Just planted a few weeks ago and they are struggling. About 1ft tall

Any suggestion on how to restore brown Palmetto sod damaged by wild bird seeds? We removed the bird feeder because the hull waste damaged the lawn.

I have bababahia in my lawn and I’m experiencing the same growing pattern.

This is only helpful for me when I move to Florida in 24 years…. Haha 😂 thanks Al

Do you have any videos on how to treat/remove Dallisgrass help wanted PLEASEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Alan, I live in Louisville Ky. I killed my whole front lawn. The lawn was nothing but crabgrass, nut sledge etc. No real grass after i had a company renovate my lawn and all they did was tille my whole front yard. Throwed down grass seed and straw. The only thing that came back was weeds, mainly crabgrass. Now I killed it all again. My question is what do i do now with this dead lawn? The ground is really hard. Please HELP!!! Thank you

For the first time I've noticed areas of my san Augustin grass yard grass blades have a wrinkled curl pattern. What causes this?

Alan, Following your plans through the Yard Mastery App and all your videos. My yard was garbage when I bought the house and instantly turned to your channel. Live in Naples, FL with a St. Aug lawn… big problem… Dayflower is taking over! What if anything can I do to rid my yard of this stuff? Help!

Hey I was wondering if you could do a video of flagship fertilizer versus like over-the-counter fertilizer like Scott’s

Sharpen your mower blades??? Your mower blades are on point man. It's like they were sliced with a razor blade. Damn New Yorkers!. Maybe they will bring down some proper bagels for you folks. And some Taylor Ham and pizza too

Thank you… Another great vid !!!

What’s the best way to get rid of weeds that are around trees? Really don’t want to hurt my 100 year old oak

When it brown off should you rake them out

Fascinating!

Can you mix Kentucky blue heat and empire zoysia together?

The noise while you are crawling close is crazy. Sounds like walking on leaves up here.

I screwed up. I did not do post emergent early spring, I thought I did but the product I used did not have post. I've been routinely spreading Milo all summer. Watering twice a week with supplemental rain (I'm in central FL). The back and sides are looking fantastic, but of course the front... I have an attack from weeds. I did an Image treatment a month ago, but these weeds are prevailing. Any tips? I was thinking a granular with atrazine (I haven't had an app yet this year), but I know it isn't fall yet. I'm desperate for advice. Literally everyone's lawn looks amazing on our street. I don't want to switch to a lawn app company because I enjoy the DIY.

Can I put down double dark 6 or 8 weeks after new lawn from seed has grown? Or should I wait til next season?

Hi, just like to ask a question. People tell me to fertiliser twice a year but you mentioned every month isn't that to much..👍👍

I need a Turf Thunderdome t-shirt!

Anyone tried to grow buffalo grass from seed here in FL? The native North America perennial not Australian St. Aug.

Mate, cool season lawn here, we seeded in the spring from a brand new construction, didnt have sprinklers until summer and my weeds thristles and all are going nuts... where do I even start? I threw down a 3in1 fertilizer... not sure if I see a difference! help!

why do you always double cut, and do you cut at the same height with each cut?

Man i live in chicago and i ended up with rust in my grass idk if its something i put down or its cause i stop puttin down milo or lack of water

How do I determine this process vs uneven fertilization? I put out some flagship but now have some clear dark streaks which makes me this my spreader is not working properly, but not sure if it’s really this natural process. Sod installed just over a year ago

Hey Allyn, thanks for your awesome infos. i leave in St, louis Missouri. When is the best time to seed zoysia for new lawn? And where can i get the seed?

Slough (sluff ) is definitely the word of the day! It’s also a medical term.

New homeowner here!! I was searching your channel looking for tips on my type of grass (Bahiagrass) but i couldn't find anything. Anyone got a link or tips for this type of grass?

My St. Augustine looks darn good, but when is a good time to raise my sprinkler heads. The turf has thickened. I just hate destroying St. Auggie.

I’m asking for recommendations, I’m not good at applying fertilizers or other products

If you’ve ever grown strawberries it’s kinda the same idea, except strawberries are a dicot grasses are monocots.

Allyn, what grass is best for erosion on a slight hill?

I remember I thought I had weeds for the longest time. It was stolons.

Can I put down aluminum sulfate on my Alkaline soil before seeding zoysia

Just curious. How far north can someone have a good St. Augustine lawn?

Hi Allen, I’m at Disney in Orlando, I’m noticed that in Florida watering the grass is at 10:30pm while in Cool season it’s at 4:30am. Especially during the Summer Days. Should the Cool Season switch to same watering time in the Summer Month’s? Thanks Allen.

My st aug is getting hit hard by fungus 🦠 when will the madness end 🙏🏼 would painting it black give some relief?

Will zoysia grow under a mulberry tree

Notice the node, almost poetic… bet most didn’t even NODice it 😉
