5 UNIQUE Tips - Lawn Care Tips for Beginners

Lawn care for beginners doesn't need to be complicated or confusing in order to maintain a beautiful lawn. In this video, I will give you 5 unique and simple lawn care tips for beginners.

Tip 1: Scott's spreaders are commonly used to spread fertilizers, seeds, and other materials evenly across a lawn or garden. However, one common issue that people may experience when using Scott's spreaders is the formation of striping lines on the lawn due to the accumulation of fertilizer in the hollow wheels. Avoid these spreaders at all costs.

Tip 2: Edging your lawn is a simple but effective way for beginners to enhance its overall appearance. By creating a defined border between the grass and surrounding areas, such as sidewalks or flower beds, the lawn looks more polished and well-maintained. This also helps prevent grass from encroaching onto other areas, reducing the need for additional maintenance. Overall, edging is an easy and inexpensive way to boost your lawn's curb appeal and make it the envy of the neighborhood.

Tip 3: Fall is the best time to seed cool season grasses because the soil is warm, but the air temperature is cooler, providing ideal conditions for growth. Avoid seeding in spring if possible. To ensure successful germination, the seed must be kept moist throughout the process. This can be achieved by watering lightly but frequently.

Tip 4: Mowing your lawn regularly is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to maintain its health and appearance. Regular mowing helps promote strong and even growth, prevents weeds and pests from taking hold, and encourages a lush, green lawn. Additionally, keeping the grass at an appropriate height can help reduce stress on the roots and improve overall water absorption. Overall, frequent mowing is one of the most important things you can do for your lawn.

Tip 5: The Scotts 4 Step Fertilizer Program is a popular choice for beginners looking to improve their lawn's health and appearance. This program simplifies the process of fertilizing by breaking it down into four easy-to-follow steps, each designed to provide the necessary nutrients and care at the appropriate time of year. With clear instructions and a comprehensive schedule, the Scotts 4 Step Program takes the guesswork out of lawn care and is a great choice for those new to fertilizing.

The shear fact you didn't waste my time with a long intro or selling ad space to your sponsors earned you a sub. But also because I agreed with your tips.

After watching this video I ran out to the garage to examine the wheels on my spreader.

I really couldn’t justify getting a new spreader in the past as it seemed to work just fine but I think you just gave me a good reason to buy—I mean invest in a new tool 👌😗

[MatsDawson]

I was at Lowe's a few days ago and noticed the mini spreader had new wheels that looked solid. It's about time they fixed this issue. I can't imagine the amount of seed and fertilizer wasted over the years.

"The Blatant Disrespect" part got me! 😆😆

One of my best contributions as a pharmacist at a local big box store was counseling someone, not on a medication, but rather to get that Scott's spreader out of their cart ASAP! I always told people that the garden center was the only other department I was qualified to run. PS- nice thumbnail pic!

I'm not even a minute in and yes... guilty of using the scotts speader and literally had lines all through my yard last year. So embarrassing!! Switched to the echo speader and we love it! Haven't had lines since. That thing throws like a beast too.. sometimes too much!

[amonioda]

Fellow Minnesotan here! Thank you so much for this! I started a new job as a building caretaker and I appreciate you so much for this! I’m SO happy to hear that I can place seeds down during this season! I can’t wait to start today

[CrispimSoares]

Thanks so much! There are some lawn tips videos that sound like theoretical physics. Yours, on the other hand, is crystal clear.

I have the Scotts Edgeguard and I have never had this problem. I bought mine about 12-13 years ago. I have a brand new house with a gorgeous Bermuda mowed at a #1. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[robinmoore]

This is exactly the video I was looking for, thank you so much!!!

[jamesdavis]

As someone that loves lawn care (certainly not a pro but know more than the average person) I really appreciate your straight forward tell it like you see it style. I have one question: Where would you recommend buying seed?

[YardBrah]

My guy 😊🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Love the educational vids Jesse… and I never knew about the burns from the spreader! That was new news to me thank you! This my friend is a banger… and not just cause I’m in it 😂😂😂😊🤙🏾🔥🙏🏾👊🏾

[keiton]

Every 3-5 days?!? Bruh I have a job and a kid. It's an every 2 week thing 😂

I have a Red Devil spreader from sometime in the 80's. Throws mostly to the left, but works like a champ. It's not huge like these new rigs that take up a bunch of space. I can adjust flow based on how many passes I want to make and prill size. No settings on the machine, but a scratch where I like it set for Milo and can adjust from there for other products or seed.
