Like others said it’s been painful to watch the grass being destroyed. It was so beautiful in the beginning. So glad you’re back and on top of it!

11:11 "crotch kickers" 😄😄😄

Thanks for what you are committing to do. I believe I am safe From say motorsports enthusiasts appreciate your effort to bring the ascetic to the track. It means a lot for the outward appearance of motorsports to the world

I’ve made the 2400 mile round-trip to the Freedom Factory several times now and I do say that I still appreciate the work you initially did installing that Beautiful St. Augustine grass!

im a long time fan of Ol Giraffe Man, Garrett has worked so hard on this and i love how this project also makes it on other peoples channels

Let's goo can't wait to see this transformation again. It was sooo beautiful

I love how it sounds like a war front update when he's talking about his grass. 🤣 It really is a constant battle here in FL though.

Love a guy who is really into his gig. Doesn't matter what it is: dentistry, race car driver, landscaper, etc...caring about your craft is friggin awesome.

It's been painful to watch so many different vehicles completely destroy that beautiful grass. It was literally perfect before, but unfortunately this is part of the game. So, a better recovery plan after damage occurs will be beneficial as you mentioned. Can't wait to see the upgrade! 🙌

Lol! That track’s landscape has always had a ton of issues. It’s never been even close to perfect.

Really glad to see Garrett brought you back. Glad he's always stuck to the roots and the people he used in the beginning.

Love the update. Can’t wait to see how it turns out

This is gonna be a great project. I can't wait to watch the progress!

HELL YEAH BROTHER Thanks for doing the Freedom Factory I'm so glad you're back I remember when you first put in the first batch 👍🇺🇸

It’s sad to see that beautiful Pro-Vista destroyed at the Freedom Factory. Hope you’re well.

Great weed ID at the beginning, please do this more!

Excited to see a classic LCN video!

Wow it looked great in those photos. Hope it ends up back to that standard.

Great job explaining the Freedom Factory!!

My favorite thing about this regrade project has been watching Cleetus get so defeated over the Freedom Factory grass, and his own hints to this project this last month or so. My own lawn has been similar, where lifes gotten in the way of what I wanted my lawn to be after I had "made it perfect"

Thx for making the Freedom Factory even better! Looks like a never ending customer

They’re doing some awesome things at the Freedom Factory.

We get the same weeds here in Australia. Oxalis and Hairy Bittercress. We do call it Flick Weed here though. Nice work under challenging conditions

I like clutchkickers! But they were really hard on the lawn. The Monster Trucks probably did the most random damage. But I look forward to seeing that place all shiny and new again.

Looking forward to this! Super cool

I would definitely be on board for a Crotch Kicker s event.

@ 36 sec mark Ragweed or was it Dog Fennel ? Gallery 75df mixes wonderfully with your Prodiamine 65 WDG app. to control that and Chamber Bitter, Dandys plus a lot of other broadleaf weeds .. Kind of a 2 layered defense. Work smarter not harder right 🤨 Been a fan for years and you have taught me a lot. I also used your fert last year and loved the results.. finally an even consistent prill size no getting jammed or clogging at all .. Great Job .. will be buying again. Good luck with the Freedom Factory .. Take care !

Thanks for cleaning off the trailer. Now I can steal the equipment from the office easier.

Cleet sent us you do great work 👍🏻 subscribed

I was the property guy for a company one of which was a summer camp with 48 acre of grass to keep up. It had ben contour cut with the same tracked mower for a couple decades and was all ruts. It took me five years of rolling, pattern cutting, and filling to get it to where they could have just about anybody cut it and not knock teeth loose. After I got it smooth we then added spring and fall care (budget was/is hard to come by) Over seeding, ferts, aerating, etc and a decade in it was a showpiece. I left during Covid and now I cringe at what it might be.

Just ordered my $20 soil test can't beat that price!

Can’t wait to see it

im dead "crotch kickers" LMFAO!!! LCN you are hilarious XD

I know Cleatus was very proud of the lawn you did.

Your'e a legend mate!

Man I can’t wait to get behind my TruCut 27 here in Georgia. Come on Mother Nature I’ve got an itch to scratch.

Thanks for the update. Good to see even you struggle with weeds in the lawn. Would be interested in what/when you will use weed treatment this time of year.

Where that new asphalt should go in one of the last clips you should dig into that to regrade it with like a rake and spread that on the grass add seed and water like crazy to glue in a heavy top layer so when it does rain it'll form an impenetrable layer and run off wherever you want it

I'm sure you will have the FF looking great again! Question, any way to get rid of that Bermuda in the midwest? That stuff will take over anything, gardens, lawns, even grows up behind your siding.

I am here for the freedom factory and what everelse I can learn.

“Support lawn enforcement”. 😂 Love it.

Love the tundra!!❤

Awesome video.

Awesome!!👏🏻

There is tons of work going on at the FF... All those red flags on the track are areas that need to be fixed. Cleetus is really optimistic to get everything done on time.

I like what you said, they run a track, they aren’t landscapers. lol. Garrett yells at drivers all the time and even tells them in pre race meetings to stay off his grass. You can tell he really appreciates your work too. Btw, it’s clutch kickers not crotch kickers. 🤣🤣🤣

The CROTCH KICKERS 😂, Bermuda is the alpha! Would look great at the FF!

No one showed you the Monster truck video…thats probably good. Lmfao

watched from Bryan,Tx

Curious if you're going to overseed that bahia lawn as well. I'm getting ready to pre-germinate some existing bahia seed, and ordered some TiQuik to overseed my bahia lawn this upcoming week. Well done on the vid as usual.

Hey from Palm Harbor... well, we've got the same weed problems up here in Pinellas County. Thank God for the recent rains, because we only get reclaimed water on Saturdays in my area, Grrr. How are the plants on your pool patio doing?

What cletus needs is racing curbs all round the track!!!

I’m surprised the Leroy hasn’t picked up a steam roller. You could flatten those ruts out, the his crew could run over them after an event. I doest have to be a huge one and he could have fun putting a turbo on it.

Love your dry wit. Crotch kickers made me spit out my coffee. 😂 Are you putting in Bahia at the Freedom Factory?

What else could it be for southern lawns? Artificial turf?

The only way u can stop drifters from digging ruts in the dirt is to either not do drift events or just not have grass and dirt at all, when u move the drift line in they just move with extra space

I could only imagine over seed fertilize and ammend the soil I wouldn't say till it but with such huge ruts almost like industrial dethatch

I wish you were closer to plant city. I need some help on my lawn.

Need to get a combo video with Pete from GCI Turf to come down and re grade the freedom factory!

I always thought you were the Alan guy that’s always helping Cleetus with the RC stuff.

Hmm, looks like a job for electrified fencing, and guard towers-with lasers! :-) It does look like they could use a roller to touch up the inevitable ruts that'll happen on a regular basis. Also, a supercross or two might take advantage of the need to rebuild the lawn. That would be another popular event for the Freedom Factory.

I live in Clearwater, FL. I take really good care of my lawn. I have spots and weeds like you have. Honestly, I have never seen my lawn this bad. I started thinking that maybe someone threw something on my lawn. After this rain, I'll continue to treat my lawn. By April, everything should be well on the mend.

@AmericanConstellation @barrymoss7780 Guys i'm in pasco and my st aug is looking pretty good especially after these recent rains. I have a couple patches that have been pushing stolons over the winter OVER ROCK WALKWAYS (I want to cover up) several feet. I've been focusing on adding organic matter to my extremely sandy soil. Mostly using earthgro 50%manure/50%compost from tractor supply (think this one might have a little weeds sometimes - but cannot tell has alot is germinating in my patchy yard)), mixed with jungle grown (big box brand) flower & vegetable soil mix (cheapest option i've found that does NOT contain weed seeds - contains alot of good stuff, something with kelp probably even better). Pasco doesn't seem to have a city compost system? I know pinellas does. I did a soil test last year & found my soil was really deficient in N & K. Also deficient in a couple micros. I've been throwing down small amounts of those micros along with a basic sta-green (22-0-8 ish?) turf fertilizer every other month or so the last year. I'd see green-up for a few weeks & then the grass would go pale & look dried out. The ferts would push the bermuda+sedge I am fighting. Irrigation wouldn't even get me through the day in some areas (VERY crispy st. aug). The st. aug wasn't outcompeting things. I noticed over winter the bermuda & weeds went dormant but I could keep my st aug. active with JUST enough irrigation. Doing this allow me to feed the st. aug over the winter while these strong weeds were dormant. I FED WITH COMPOST, NOT FERTS. I'm VERY impressed with how much of the previous bermuda area I had has been overtaken by st. aug ALREADY this year. All of this is to say, my root issue seems to be a lack of ability for the soil to hold on to nutrients as long as I would find practical & satisfactory. So before anything else, I am working in compost, biochar, & peat moss in a mix that hopefully slowly raises the soils ability to hold on to water+nutrients so I can stop this once we get into the wet season (so I can fight fungus I get really easy). So far, I am getting my desired results. I am also doing prodiamine pre-emergent right now + earlier feb. If your soil looks like straight-up sand in your eroded spots/when you dig, maybe this will help you too. I know its a long write but I hope its helpful. My st aug has been creeping all winter over these weeds I have in areas where there was enough sun (not under my oak) & I irrigated when the st. aug looked like it was starting to go dormant. If you want to know anything more on my process, or how I am making my own biochar almost free just ask (don't buy that doc-andersons shill fest lololol). I don't want to write another paragraph tho in this comment HAA

Im excited for the FF regrade!! I was so upset they let it go throughout last year. You definitely need to be more involved in the upkeep of it. You can’t just keep redoing everything after years of neglect. It’ll be an endless cycle. I love the FF and it deserves to look as good as you make it look all the time!

I'm seeing some Carolina Geranium here in Wimauma

crotch kickers lol that had me on the floor

Would some re-enforcement of the ground, particularly at the edge of the track be an option? Some steel meshed wakway put in place, pinned down and welded together to support the weight of the vehicles and prevent rutts being dug? (Thinking steel walkway or similar as it will provide some grip to the cars without being as easily damaged as the usual plastic stuff and once pinned and welded should never move)

SAFER BARRER around the light polls it would sure look a lot cleaner as a finished project, just a thought

FF is going to repair the track surface also they said soon. I am glad the crotch kickers are gone though.

looking forward to a FF restoration series

Love the timelapse and tune @18:18

Any cool southern ground cover plants you can use in those beds instead of lots of mulch?

I mean, it's held up well, for years! Edit: It would be super cool to see giant sponsor boards out there (along with the income for maintenance of course) that say: Proudly maintained by SCOTTS or JOHN DEERE etc whomever blah blah. Easy advertising to get in front of millions of people in the target audience.
