1. Start in the fall 2. Kill the weeds - use tenacity 3. Aerate lawn 4. drop in grass seed 5. Apply starter fertilizer 6. Water 2-3 times a day 7. Stay off the lawn 8. Mow in a month and bag clippings. 9. After 2 months, mow weekly and cut 2.5 to 3.5 inches high. 10. Every 6 weeks fertilizer

The first 2 tenacity applications were over the whole yard, last one was spot treatment. I’m currently waiting for my second round of overseeding to grow but i’ve seen a massive improvement. it feels like a miracle! i have gained so much confidence in how to fix and maintain a lawn when I was once was hopeless. i’m confident before the next winter my yard will be one of the best in the neighborhood. thank you so much for the clear and easy to follow instructions!

Bio char can do wonders for a lawn renovation, are relatively cheap and easy to spread.

So mine has been nice and green but I have had to water it here and there to keep it from starting to Brown in between the rains. And I also have zoysia grass so it always dies and turns brown and dormant in the fall and winter, so that will be coming soon for me. But it is fun taking care of the lawn I think. Many people see it as a nuisance but it's kind of relaxing to me to go out and mow the grass and weed the flower beds.

Just wanted to let you know I took your steps and this fall, my yard looks at least 75% better than what I came in with. Tenacity is amazing - got rid of my crabgrass and ground ivy, and most of my dandelion. I spot sprayed for weeds August 1 and again August 15 to hit what I missed. I aerated (this was hard on a hilly lawn, but next year I will use a billy goat or outsource this part) September 13, and put down limestone then - I have a lot of moss and pine needles to deal with. I overseeded the next day with Pennington Contractor's Mix. Fertilized a week later. Watered twice a day for about 2 weeks after seeding. Then every 3 days or so for another couple weeks. Was ready to mow by week 3... there was over 6 inches of growth. I basically haven't stopped bagging weekly clippings since... helps me get all the leaves off my heavily wooded lawn. It's not perfect, but my husband is impressed with what I've accomplished in a single season with minimal investment. I wish I could post my before and after pics. Guys, if you live in New England.... Silver Cymbal's tips will help you get your lawn better. These steps worked for me. I am no longer embarrassed of my lawn. Thank you Silver Cymbal!

Thank you so much! Your video is perfect for someone like me. Single mom here. I bought my home years ago, and every season it just gets worse because I don't know what I'm doing. It's mostly weeds at this point, lol. So much contradicting and inapplicable instructions are found online. I feel like your steps will work for me. I'm in the Atlanta area, so please let me know if that changes anything.

You seem to love your perfect lawns in the US; I 've read that billions of $$$'s are spent on keeping them green and pristeen. Here in the UK there's a growing trend towards sowing meadow mixes to make our gardens into wildlife havens. I see it in my own street. It's been going either way; some people pave over their lawns to park more cars but others have dedicated parts or sometimes all of their lawn to encourage wildflowers. Done well it looks amazing! I use the fiskars staysharp plus reel mower which lifts to 4" and allows me to mow low flowering areas of grass without damaging the flowers. Sitting in my garden it literally dances with life; butterflies, bees, dragonflies and other pollinators. These in turn have brought in more insectivorous birds and even toads and hedgehogs; my former lawn now teems with biodiversity! My cats love exploring and snoozing among the long grasses and flowers too. It used to be just a lifeless monoculture of green before. When I see a pristine lawn now it looks like a desert to me.

Sounds great, but where I live, a wildlife haven means giant cockroaches and snakes! We have much larger lawns here in the US, on average, than you do in the UK. Since I may have a heart attack if I see another snake, I keep my lawn short. I wouldn't mind having flowers that only grow to 3 inches maximum instead of having grass. Which flowers are these?

I had all but given up, my lawn had turned brown and sparse - looking completely dead. I followed these simple steps, and followed them COMPLETELY, and had a perfect green lawn within 5 weeks. So many people asked about it, and all of them I just gave them your link! Cannot thank you enough. And for those of you reading this and are on the fence about doing it, stop thinking and just do it - but do it ALL, no shortcuts.

@BrettLyon

@@sofiavillarreal820 No need to wait for either of your two questions! Every year, I usually do the following: get home from work on a Friday night, apply the tenacity, go to bed, wake up on Saturday, rent an aerator from Home Depot, aerate, spread seed, and spread starting fertilizer all on Saturday. Then I water twice every day and refrain from cutting for 4 weeks

I have watched this video at least 20 times. Started my lawn renovation 6 weeks ago. Just had my first cut over the weekend and I finally have hope. The new seed came out quite a bit darker than the existing grass but I’m sure if I stay patient in 3ish years after being consistent it’ll take over. Thank you so much!!!

same here. I reno'ed a big area and since I have no idea what grass seed was used previously I ended up with beautiful new grass that was dark green while the rest of the lawn wasn't that dark. The overseeding definitely help green up the existing lawn... but not up to par as the new stuff. Hopefully each year of overseesing will help it all match better.
