It's time to do a lawn renovation on my TifTuf Bermuda (Couch)

Hey big guy, you never mention Zoysias when you talk about what is safe and unsafe to do!

Like couch that grows slow
Scalp lawn, aerate lawn, topdress lawn, clean up shower and sit down to check youtube and I see this. If only I procrastinate with my lawn like the rest of my life I might have seen this first
I love all these lawn KZread channels "don't do this because it's bad, but I'm going to do it anyways" ... Two weeks later lawn looks amazing! Lol
Bermuda tips which I need. Thank you so much for your channel!
Happy to see your tiff tuff came back nicely after the scalp you did previously. I’m looking forward to some of the collabs you’re going to do with some of the KZreadrs from the states!
I'll be doing a lot of this to my Bermuda next spring. It's gonna be going dormant here before long. See you soon!
That mustache is looking better and better each vid

Using that manual aerator looks like a good workout! That area is going to come out real nice.
Fantastic video, Ben. Very helpful indeed. Hope you guys get some rain soon. Condo is bloody dry, too. All is well over here in Perth, though.
YNWA, looking good simmsy! Can’t wait for spring here in the UK, just moved and the lawn is terrible! All sorts of different grass types in it. I’m going to do a KBG and a perennial rye Renovation. Also love this time of year because you make loads of vids!
That plugger is pretty cool for a small area!
That stash is lookin’ on point! 😍 solid lawn tips from the man himself! That intro was 💯!

@lawntips this top dressing caper. Never in the history of lawn maintenance has truer words been spoken. "The struggle is real".
Awesome video! Just subscribed.
Hey Ben, Thanks for the tips man! Just a thought for when you take a plug out for the pin mate, be aware that there’s electrical cables under there, particularly around the connection box. I’m sure you’ll be well above their buried height (500mm in W.A. Not too sure for N.S.W.) but wouldn’t want you to find out the hard way!
Great video bro 👍🏻
Good video, good tips. 7:45 I hope you checked your mower's air filter after that

Hey love your vids. Could you do one on the different grasses. I'm in the Maitland area with a sunny front yard and a shady backyard. I'm considering between sir Grange zoysia, sapphire buffalo and tiftuf couch. Oh and I have a dog.
Loving the mow! (facial) - Time to show Connor who grows the best!! :P

I did my yard around 2 weeks ago the lawn has came through almost, I didn’t have leveller rake at the time might of done bit thick but looks ok. Should i mow in weeks time? I have had lawn maintenance business for 8 years now but I’m starting to do More renos now
Hi mate, any updates for the super soaker? Keen to get one....🐳
Hey mate, just about to lay tif tuf. Do you recommend putting anything down on the top soil before laying the turf? Do you have any tips to give me after laying the turf?
He Ben I have a Buffalo (Sir Walter) lawn that previous tenant's didn't really care for and has become really patchy with fairly compacted soil. I've done some aerating but do you have any tips/products to help a brother out?
I plan on doing something similar in the states here next spring, March -April. Would it make a difference to spray my prodiamine before or after the top dressing? Thanks.
Let's terp it up and slab it down brotha!!
What liquid fertilisers do you apply on your tiftuf if any over spring summer? Would love to know products and programs and have tiftuf myself.
Would a scarifier help a lawn thats been let grow and has become spongy and thick (approx 10cm) above soil or would it be easier to rip out and start new

Did mine 2 weeks ago... went heavy on the sand to get it even sort of didnt work will have to redo it next season. Dont know about your lawn but zoysia takes forever to bounce back 👍
Anywhere in the states to buy a leveling rake like yours?
How do you keep the Kikuyu out of your Couch?
Are you still allowed to water the lawn? I saw Orange has been hit with Stage 5 restrictions, has that started yet?
Got any Tache tips?! I’ve got tache envy!

Hey mate, whenever I try to use my core aerator (similar to the one you use), dirt clumps up in the tines on the first go and doesn't seem to come out. Is my soil too wet? Kikuyu is my lawn for reference.
@Player16
4 жыл бұрын
Your soil's not wet enough for the cores to be pushed out. What I do is first, spray a bit of Armor All or a lite coat of oil in the tines. If they start to clog up, get a sizeable bolt and bash from the other end to dislodge. Patients, patients is all you need.
What is your opinion on the neighbouring lawns? Does it bother you?
You made that coring look easy... I’ve done it by hand. NEVER AGAIN!!
are you off to see Ryan Knorr?
Does Buffalo not bounce back as good from a low scalp ?
Any suggestions to buy tiffuf Bermuda seeds?
@LawnTips haha your probably use to pro coring with the toro pro corer, not hand held
Went to buy the core aerator as soon as I saw it, already unavailable until November and I'm in brissy... too late for spring reno :(

Lawn Tips thanks mate, just bought the aerator. Keen to see the soaker’s results. I’m sick of using the cheap ‘Pope’ soaker hoses that leak after a week in the sun.
Do you pick up the cores so that you can top dress straight away? Ive just aerated my lawn and am waiting for the cores to bread down before topdressing 🤷♂️

How's the water restrictions over your way? Seems like most of the regions in a pretty bad drought Also do you use water crystals? Cause your grass is so green I thought y'all were level 3 or 4 water restriction

Hey mate, as long as your grass is actively growing, I'd go for it. Same with buffalo but don't be as aggressive. You can go to dirt with couch but buff needs a little bit left
