I just transformed my red-tide contributing, water hog of a Florida backyard into a food forest. We did the whole hand removal of weeds, seeding, fertilizing, etc with our lawn over the past 8 yrs. Our dogs destroyed portions of the lawn every winter when the grass went dormant. Over the last few years we've replaced 80% of our ornamental landscape with edible plants: bananas, papayas, pineapple, citrus trees, Florida cranberry, Cranberry hibiscus, blueberries, passion fruit, etc. We had a good size vegetable garden on the side of the house and eventually decided if it's not edible or beneficial it's not gonna be in our yard. We just put in another 100sf of beds with cattle panel trellis. It looks gorgeous. All the neighbors thought we were nuts, but now that it's finished with lighting and pathways they get it. It's like being in a botanical garden and the neighbors all reap the benefits with shared produce. The dogs love it. We kept a small area of grass for them to roll in and created a specific potty area for them that's much easier to maintain daily than searching the whole lawn for daily disposal. Residential grass is such a waste of water. The chemicals and fertilizer negatively impact the environment. From the mouth of Pete Kanatis pf Green Dreams, "don't be a grasshole!"

New construction, 600k homes and after 1yr the lawn has returned to the weeds, invaders ready to re-establish and spoil the new laid lawn, usually Augustine. A heavy feeder and moisture lover. These new homeowners won't listen and have no hesitation to spray roundup, shave their lawn when it's dry and scorching hot and over mulch their tree flanks. But don't try to give them free advice, nobody listens to a woman on a bike. No people as dumb as city people.

It was about us destroying our native grasslands in favor of monocultural grass lawns that don't like or want to grow here, so we dump endless amounts of water and chemicals to keep them on constant life support while destroying native habitats of other plants, insects and animals, all because we were led to believe having a flat empty green space around our house is pretty.

@@TheOnlyKontrol That has nothing to do with the fact that people as the OP automatically see the whole US as Southern California or Arizona with no awareness that there are a lot of places in the US where “water shortages” are not a thing in fact we have too much water so we spend time diverting it away from our houses so our basements don’t flood. We never water our grass, ever. It stays green year round even under the snow. So yeah, we’re going to have a lawn. I’m tired of the constant “The sky is falling.” The water we use here affects no one, because all our excess goes right back into the water table, it flows into the rivers, etc. I think those people think that the entirety of the US sits on one giant pool of water that everyone uses up lol. Last thing, if environmentalists were serious, they’d start going after people who choose to live in places are unfit for human habitation. Like the damn desserts of Arizona and Nevada and Southern California, etc. That do not have sufficient water and instead must rely on artificial means like Lake Mead etc. it’s ridiculous.

Grass is a type of plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. Their appearance as a common plant was in the mid-Cretaceous period. There are 12,000 species now.[3]A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in places such as lawns and parks. Grass is usually the color green. That is because they are wind-pollinated rather than insect-pollinated, so they do not have to attract insects. Green is the best colour for photosynthesis. Grasslands such as savannah and prairie where grasses are dominant cover 40.5% of the land area of the Earth, except Greenland and Antarctica.[4] Grasses are monocotyledon herbaceous plants. They include the "grass" of the family Poaceae, which are called grass by ordinary people. This family is also called the Gramineae, and includes some of the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae).[5] These three families are not very closely related, though all of them belong to clades in the order Poales. They are similar adaptations to a similar life-style. With about 780 genera and about 12,000 species,[3] the Poaceae is the fifth-largest plant family. Only the Asteraceae, Orchidaceae, Fabaceae and Rubiaceae have more species.[6] The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Uses for graminoids include food (as grain, shoots or rhizomes), drink (beer, whisky), pasture for livestock, thatch, paper, fuel, clothing, insulation, construction, sports turf, basket weaving and many others. Many grasses are short, but some grasses can grow tall, such as bamboo. Plants from the grass family can grow in many places and make grasslands, including areas which are very arid or cold. There are several other plants that look similar to grass and are referred to as such, but are not members of the grass family. These plants include rushes, reeds, papyrus and water chestnut. Seagrass is a monocot in the order Alismatales. Grasses are an important food for many animals, such as deer, buffalo, cattle, mice, grasshoppers, caterpillars and many other grazers. Unlike other plants, grasses grow from the bottom, so when animals eat grass they usually do not destroy the part that grows.[7] This is a part of why the plants are successful. Without grass, soil may wash away into rivers (erosion).

With around 780 genera and around 12,000 species,[1] the Poaceae is the fifth-largest plant family, after the Asteraceae, Orchidaceae, Fabaceae and Rubiaceae.[4] The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Uses for graminoids include food (as grain, sprouted grain, shoots or rhizomes), drink (beer, whisky), pasture for livestock, thatching thatch, paper, fuel, clothing, insulation, construction, sports turf, basket weaving and many others. Many grasses are short, but some grasses can grow tall, such as bamboo. Plants from the grass family can grow in many places and make grasslands, including areas which are very arid or cold. There are several other plants that look similar to grass and are referred to as such, but are not members of the grass family. These plants include rushes, reeds, papyrus and water chestnut. Seagrass is a monocot in the order Alismatales. Grasses are an important food for many animals, such as deer, buffalo, cattle, mice, grasshoppers, caterpillars and many other grazers. Unlike other plants, grasses grow from the bottom, so when animals eat grass they usually do not destroy the part that grows.[5] This is a part of why the plants are successful. Without grass, soil may wash away into rivers (erosion).

Grass is one of the most common and recognizable plants in the world. It is a member of the Poaceae family, which includes over 10,000 species of grass, ranging from short, dense blades to tall, feathery stalks. Grass is found in nearly every corner of the globe, from the prairies of North America to the savannas of Africa. One of the defining characteristics of grass is its narrow, elongated leaves. These leaves can range in color from light green to dark green, depending on the species of grass and the environment in which it grows. They are often arranged in dense clumps, creating a lush carpet of green that covers the ground. Grass is also known for its fibrous roots, which anchor it in the soil and absorb nutrients and water. These roots can be incredibly long and deep, reaching down into the earth to find the resources that the plant needs to survive. Because grass is so efficient at nutrient uptake, it is able to grow quickly and cover large areas of land. Grass is a resilient plant, able to adapt to a wide variety of environmental conditions. It can grow in areas with poor soil quality, extreme temperatures, and limited water. In fact, grass is often one of the few plants that can survive in these harsh environments, making it a crucial part of many ecosystems. Despite its hardy nature, grass can also be incredibly delicate and intricate. The individual blades of grass are often decorated with tiny veins and ridges, creating a complex pattern that is both beautiful and functional. These intricate details are often overlooked, but they are a testament to the remarkable complexity of the natural world. Grass also has a number of ecological benefits. Because it covers the ground and absorbs water, it can help prevent erosion and runoff. It also helps to trap carbon dioxide, which can help mitigate the effects of climate change. In addition, grass can provide food and shelter for a wide variety of animals, including insects, birds, and mammals. In conclusion, grass is a remarkable plant that is both ubiquitous and underappreciated. Its narrow, elongated leaves and fibrous roots are adapted to absorb nutrients and water, allowing it to grow quickly and cover large areas of land. Despite its hardy nature, grass can also be incredibly delicate and intricate, with intricate patterns and details that are often overlooked. Whether in a suburban lawn or a sprawling savanna, grass is a vital component of many ecosystems around the world, providing food, shelter, and beauty for all who live there.

I just transformed my red-tide contributing, water hog of a Florida backyard into a food forest. We did the whole hand removal of weeds, seeding, fertilizing, etc with our lawn over the past 8 yrs. Our dogs destroyed portions of the lawn every winter when the grass went dormant. Over the last few years we've replaced 80% of our ornamental landscape with edible plants: bananas, papayas, pineapple, citrus trees, Florida cranberry, Cranberry hibiscus, blueberries, passion fruit, etc. We had a good size vegetable garden on the side of the house and eventually decided if it's not edible or beneficial it's not gonna be in our yard. We just put in another 100sf of beds with cattle panel trellis. It looks gorgeous. All the neighbors thought we were nuts, but now that it's finished with lighting and pathways they get it. It's like being in a botanical garden and the neighbors all reap the benefits with shared produce. The dogs love it. We kept a small area of grass for them to roll in and created a specific potty area for them that's much easier to maintain daily than searching the whole lawn for daily disposal. Residential grass is such a waste of water. The chemicals and fertilizer negatively impact the environment. From the mouth of Pete Kanatis pf Green Dreams, "don't be a grasshole!"

Grass is a type of plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. Their appearance as a common plant was in the mid-Cretaceous period. There are 12,000 species now.[3]A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in places such as lawns and parks. Grass is usually the color green. That is because they are wind-pollinated rather than insect-pollinated, so they do not have to attract insects. Green is the best colour for photosynthesis. Grasslands such as savannah and prairie where grasses are dominant cover 40.5% of the land area of the Earth, except Greenland and Antarctica.[4] Grasses are monocotyledon herbaceous plants. They include the "grass" of the family Poaceae, which are called grass by ordinary people. This family is also called the Gramineae, and includes some of the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae).[5] These three families are not very closely related, though all of them belong to clades in the order Poales. They are similar adaptations to a similar life-style. With about 780 genera and about 12,000 species,[3] the Poaceae is the fifth-largest plant family. Only the Asteraceae, Orchidaceae, Fabaceae and Rubiaceae have more species.[6] The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Uses for graminoids include food (as grain, shoots or rhizomes), drink (beer, whisky), pasture for livestock, thatch, paper, fuel, clothing, insulation, construction, sports turf, basket weaving and many others. Many grasses are short, but some grasses can grow tall, such as bamboo. Plants from the grass family can grow in many places and make grasslands, including areas which are very arid or cold. There are several other plants that look similar to grass and are referred to as such, but are not members of the grass family. These plants include rushes, reeds, papyrus and water chestnut. Seagrass is a monocot in the order Alismatales. Grasses are an important food for many animals, such as deer, buffalo, cattle, mice, grasshoppers, caterpillars and many other grazers. Unlike other plants, grasses grow from the bottom, so when animals eat grass they usually do not destroy the part that grows.[7] This is a part of why the plants are successful. Without grass, soil may wash away into rivers (erosion).

I’m doing this by hand. Every morning I go out and pull out the weeds and dig up the ground before putting seed down and watering. So far it’s costed me $6 for the grass seed. I’ve gotten a good sized patch of beautiful grass and more to come! It takes time, I won’t lie, but it’s cheap and works just as good. I’ve also gotten a little tan coming on too 😅

Yea if you like getting lymes disease
Great job! 🎯
All I see is a weekend killer.😂😂😂😂
I'm getting rid of my grass and adding wildflowers and clovers
Oh, look at Mr. Lawn Lover, strutting around like he's the king of suburbia with his perfectly trimmed grass. Can't see the forest for the trees, can he? While he's busy playing gardener, the real beauty lies in the wild and untamed. But hey, some people just prefer their little green kingdoms over the vibrant chaos of nature. Suit yourself, Mr. Lawn Lover, while the rest of us embrace the wild side.

Then the next year, Pre and Post emergents. Or all of the weeds will be back.

If you buy lawn soil you dont need any kind of pre or post emergent because it already comes with it in the mix. I dont have one weed in my lawn since I used lawn soil. StayGreen brand or Scotts they both have it in the mix.
Damn you put in work props
Guys this dude just removed his existing lawn BY EFFING HAND

Yeah it sucks. That’s like crabgrass or somethin I think. Not really a lawn, just grassy looking weeds. Gotta pull the roots otherwise if you cut or mowed they’d just keep growing with more rain.
You should have done clovers last longer needs less water and the coverage is amazing
The video should be named, "How to spend thousands of dollars and many hours to transform your yard from dirt to grass"
Looks awful
If I water 2s a day I'd A... get a letter warning me that it's no aloud..and B have a water bill of 1000000$$ 😂😂❤

You need to move out of the desert then 😊
I want to do this, but one question? Is there a reason to hand pull weeds instead of tilling and raking clean then topsoil? Would that help kill left behind weed seeds?

The mistake was tilling the soil. If you put 3 to 4 inches of nice top soil there is no need till.
Done all this isn't a easy task to complete is a lot heavy labor involved look nice btw 👍👍👍
I did the same thing minus the top soil the lime and fertilizer. I tilled my whole yard by hand,leveled it with a pallet and spread some seed and raked it in and I'm now just getting lil grasslings
I’d love to make my yard beautiful but unfortunately in the place I rent all the neighborhood yards are infected with some vine/grass variant that kills regular grass by killing their roots and growing overtop regular grass. I’ve tried pulling them out but eventually they just regrow from both of the neighbor’s sides back into my lawn and destroys my work. I’ve decided to just let this yard be what it is and deal with it.
My father used to cover the soil withburlap bags after seeding not adding more soil,lightly sprinkle with waterto settle seeds.
You’re a beast. How did you find the bandwidth to do all of this?
Wow
And this is why he doesn’t need a gym membership !!
Seems exactly right. Cost on tools and material would have been aces bro. Good work
All that work and not one fruit tree or any vegetables? 🤭😂

How much lime and fertilizer did you use for your property? Also, how big is your property? Thanks
I'll help you 😊 Grass is a type of plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. Their appearance as a common plant was in the mid-Cretaceous period. There are 12,000 species now. [1] A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in places such as lawns and parks. Grass is usually the color green. That is because they are wind-pollinated rather than insect-pollinated, so they do not have to attract insects. Green is the best colour for photosynthesis. Grasslands such as savannah and prairie where grasses are dominant cover 40.5% of the land area of the Earth, except Greenland and Antarctica.[2] Grasses are monocotyledon herbaceous plants. They include the "grass" of the family Poaceae, which are called grass by ordinary people. This family is also called the Gramineae, and includes some of the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae).[3] These three families are not very closely related, though all of them belong to clades in the order Poales. They are similar adaptations to a similar life-style. With around 780 genera and around 12,000 species,[1] the Poaceae is the fifth-largest plant family, after the Asteraceae, Orchidaceae, Fabaceae and Rubiaceae.[4] The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Uses for graminoids include food (as grain, sprouted grain, shoots or rhizomes), drink (beer, whisky), pasture for livestock, thatching thatch, paper, fuel, clothing, insulation, construction, sports turf, basket weaving and many others. Many grasses are short, but some grasses can grow tall, such as bamboo. Plants from the grass family can grow in many places and make grasslands, including areas which are very arid or cold. There are several other plants that look similar to grass and are referred to as such, but are not members of the grass family. These plants include rushes, reeds, papyrus and water chestnut. Seagrass is a monocot in the order Alismatales. Grasses are an important food for many animals, such as deer, buffalo, cattle, mice, grasshoppers, caterpillars and many other grazers. Unlike other plants, grasses grow from the bottom, so when animals eat grass they usually do not destroy the part that grows.[5] This is a part of why the plants are successful. Without grass, soil may wash away into rivers (erosion).

It happens naturally one way or another, might as well make it look nice.
Damn this is so much work 😫 I’ll never get my garden like that
Wow. Just wow. Kids. He bought topsoil then tilled it in... To the existing topsoil. He would have had the exact same results just dethatching the native grass ( don't do that btw) and tiling the seeds into the existing soil.

Grass is one of the most common and recognizable plants in the world. It is a member of the Poaceae family, which includes over 10,000 species of grass, ranging from short, dense blades to tall, feathery stalks. Grass is found in nearly every corner of the globe, from the prairies of North America to the savannas of Africa. One of the defining characteristics of grass is its narrow, elongated leaves. These leaves can range in color from light green to dark green, depending on the species of grass and the environment in which it grows. They are often arranged in dense clumps, creating a lush carpet of green that covers the ground. Grass is also known for its fibrous roots, which anchor it in the soil and absorb nutrients and water. These roots can be incredibly long and deep, reaching down into the earth to find the resources that the plant needs to survive. Because grass is so efficient at nutrient uptake, it is able to grow quickly and cover large areas of land. Grass is a resilient plant, able to adapt to a wide variety of environmental conditions. It can grow in areas with poor soil quality, extreme temperatures, and limited water. In fact, grass is often one of the few plants that can survive in these harsh environments, making it a crucial part of many ecosystems. Despite its hardy nature, grass can also be incredibly delicate and intricate. The individual blades of grass are often decorated with tiny veins and ridges, creating a complex pattern that is both beautiful and functional. These intricate details are often overlooked, but they are a testament to the remarkable complexity of the natural world. Grass also has a number of ecological benefits. Because it covers the ground and absorbs water, it can help prevent erosion and runoff. It also helps to trap carbon dioxide, which can help mitigate the effects of climate change. In addition, grass can provide food and shelter for a wide variety of animals, including insects, birds, and mammals. In conclusion, grass is a remarkable plant that is both ubiquitous and underappreciated. Its narrow, elongated leaves and fibrous roots are adapted to absorb nutrients and water, allowing it to grow quickly and cover large areas of land. Despite its hardy nature, grass can also be incredibly delicate and intricate, with intricate patterns and details that are often overlooked. Whether in a suburban lawn or a sprawling savanna, grass is a vital component of many ecosystems around the world, providing food, shelter, and beauty for all who live there.

Nice job
I did the same thing except I didn’t put anything over the seed. Big problem, my backyard was coved in birds, they ate all my seed. Funny now.
...mmm you should have ran the rototiller on the old soil first before adding in the new soil !
Can't wait for the day grass lawns have finally gone out of style. They're pretty and convenient but our planet is dying under our feet and literally every animal including our pets is better off with native biodiverse landscaping
When watering 2x's a week...for how long do you water it? 15 minutes? Half hour? More?
So much work for grass, you have a huge yard that can be so productive
After labor and cost, how did your process compare to turf?
Wow, it looks so lush!

Wes it cheaper to do it like that or just to slap in new rolls of grass?
I actually did that to my lawn when I lived in San Diego. I had a fun time using the tiller. I also made sure to get some drought proof seed.
What's the name of the soil you brought in? I need it for my backyard. Nothing grows back there
You are the man doing all that in a day 😉😂 but seriously how long did that all take? I'm working with hard clay with dried up weeds. I rented too small and weak of a tiller. I need the larger rear tine tiller to break this dirt up. My neighbor is saying to sift out all the bits of grass 😮
All that energy for something you can’t eat
