First, thanks for supporting the channel and I'm glad that my content has helped and relieved some of your concerns. Next, yes you should avoid dethatching this time of year. As I stated in the live cool season grasses are already under a lot of stress to just survive the heat and dry conditions. Dethatching will add additional stress to the lawn that will be tough for it to recover from this time of year. Major repair/renovation practices should be during cooler temps and high growth periods like fall and early spring. KBG typically requires more sunlight for healthy growth so in shady areas that may not be the best grass type and a fescue would probably perform a little better. That is dependent on the specific cultivars that are used. Hope that info helps and thanks again!

All good! Thanks for watching 🙏🏾

I do not disagree with the different management practices that you named. They all have their place in managing a nice lawn or golf course. You are mentioning compost topdressing which has nutritional value, where in this video I am discussing peat moss which has very little to no nutritional value other than OM. Two very different materials. I still stand by my position that peat moss can be skipped to save that money and get the same results. There are many factors that have to be considered when managing a nice lawn and there are many different ways to do it. What I have been hearing from a lot of people lately is how can they save money on their lawn budget...eliminating peat moss and that spreader is #1 on my the list. Thanks for your comment and watching the video!

It can be tough especially depending on the time of year.

@@ElevatedLawnscapes yo phi I hope newsome seed is looking out for you I throw your name out there everyone I buy seed.

@@wat2000 I appreciate that phi! Keep doing that, I'm working on something with them 🙏🏾

Welcome and thanks for subscribing to the channel 🙏🏾

Depends if you are seeding warm season grass or cool season grass. For cool season grass yes it's too late for seeding until the fall. For warm season grass it's the perfect time.

The dethatcher.

Scalp, heavy aeration, and seed.

There is some strategy to it. The easiest way is to start with your shortest pass first because it's easier to make a straight short pass than a long pass. Then follow that first pass across the lawn. The next thing is to lock in on a spot at the end of your pass and walk straight to it. Don't focus on the front of the mower focus further out where you are going. Final thing is take your time, dont drink and mow if you want them straight 😂. Those are my tips.

@@ElevatedLawnscapes Nice, appreciate you bro ! Keep up the good work, we're taking notes !

@@quisrose Fa sho, I appreciate you tuning in 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Really appreciate that, thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾!

I am aware of pre germinating seeds, I will be trying it eventually.

Here is how to find out: ruclips.net/video/fndldBIFAhQ/видео.htmlsi=nxmmOVcWzzdfucud

Nice! I need to try pre germinating seeds. I haven't tried it yet.

@@ElevatedLawnscapes Definitely. It's actually super easy, especially to fix patches in your lawn. First day, soak it all day. Next day, pull it out, change the water to clean water, and soak for 12 - 14 hours. and repeat in and out every 12 - 14 hours until you see the tiny white roots starting up. Once you see the roots popping out, I usually hand sow onto the patches I need to repair, then use the cultivator to sow em in to the dirt. No need to put your left nut into it, just enough to get em into the dirt. Water again, done. Then just enjoy the new lawn patch after a week. My only warning is, don't do this in mid-July heavy sun/heat. It will kill your seeds quick if you don't have some dirt to put on top to protect the seeds.

Thanks 👍🏾!

Thanks!

Summer time is not the time for spraying weeds, that is a spring and fall activity during cooler temperatures. We all make mistakes and learn...now you know.

I have almost all of their TTTF Cultivars from the multiple years of overseeding and using different MVS blends. I have also mixed in some of the MVS 365SS KBG for this area.

There is an obstruction of some sort underneath the soil surface impacting the growth of the plant when it gets hot. That's my initial thought from the information provided.

Glad it was helpful l. Thanks for watching 🙏🏾

If the lawn is not managed properly and not growing (going dormant)as stated in the video there is no need to cut the lawn. If the lawn is properly watered and healthy it will continue to grow and will still need to be cut frequently. It also depends on your HOC of cut. This area being managed at a HOC of 1.25" in a 6 day period during our latest heat wave grew over .75". That meant during my last mow I cut off over half the leaf blade to get back down to the 1.25" HOC which is unhealthy to do to the plant repeatedly. There are a number of factors to managing turfgrass, I typically refrain from saying you should never/"no reason" to do a certain activity in the lawn. Thanks for watching

@@ElevatedLawnscapes even with watering the height of cut in the summer for cool season turf grass should be at least four inches and no lower to eliminate stress on the turf and no more than once a week. For your controlled little area of lawn that you water constantly you may be able to do what you are doing but for a larger lawn that does not have irrigation and is subject to the intense heat and dry conditions, less mowing at a higher height is the way to go

@stephenercolino5253 You are continuing to make my point that there are various factors that play into the management practices of a lawn. As I stated, if the lawn is watered and managed properly it will need to be mowed and if not irritated reduce the mowing frequency or not at all. Does having a higher HOC make it less stressful and easier to manage a cool season lawn...OF COURSE, I agree. But does it have to be cut like a hay field to survive and thrive...no. With the right management practices, seed cultivars, and water it can be done and has been proven even by the growers of the seed. The thought that all cool season grass has to be cut at 4" or higher to survive the summer is no longer true with the new and improved cool season grass seed cultivars. With the older stuff having a higher HOC was almost the only to get it to survive. Having a higher HOC in the summer also comes with its challenges especially with disease pressure. So again, there are multiple factors that go into the management of a lawn and its tough to make never/"no way" statements if the grass is managed properly for those conditions/factors. Thanks for the discussion 👍🏾.

I'm not sure what the finally is in reference to but hopefully it was useful.

Appreciate that

Give it a try. I'm not completely understanding the gravel part. Grass needs soil or sand for proper growth, not gravel. Removing the gravel and adding topsoil would be the better option for consistent success.

I have used almost all the MVS TTTF cultivars and would recommend any of LS cultivars in a 3 or 4 cultivar blend. There is a link in the description to a seed blend that I would recommend. Thanks for watching.

@@ElevatedLawnscapes that will be what gets used, thank you for your time 🤙🏻
