[How to Get a GREEN LAWN FAST] - 3 EASY TIPS for QUICK RESULTS

How to get green lawn fast is question that most homeowners ask as part of their lawn care program. In this video I discuss 3 easy tips to quickly get a green lawn. Getting fast results involves balancing watering, mowing and fertilization. There's also a bonus tip that really ties the first 3 tips together and it's not something most people think about in their lawn care DIY program.

Let's step through each of the key areas in detail so you know how to get your lawn green as fast as possible. First we'll talk about the watering required for a greener lawn. In the case of warm season grass like Bermuda, only 1 - 1.5" of water per week is needed to keep the lawn green. Watering more than that doesn't help the turf get any greener and can begin to introduce problems like fungus.

Next up is proper mowing practices. One of the most important things you can do to get a green lawn fast is to mow it regularly at the correct height with the correct mower. For a Bermuda grass lawn, that means using a reel mower to cut at a height of 5. - 1.5". You never want to remove more than 1/3 the total grass height in a mowing session or you'll do 2 things. First, you'll introduce stress into the grass which will cause it to turn brown. Second you'll expose the stalk which is already brown. In both cases improper mowing is one of the leading causes of not having green grass on your lawn.

Last up is fertilization. Grass needs adequate amounts of nitrogen and iron and iron in order to turn and stay green. How do you know how much iron and nitrogen to apply? For the answer to that, you'll have to watch to the end of the video! Be sure to comment if you have any questions.

Another informative video Ron! I used Milorganite for the first time about two weeks ago, and I am thoroughly impressed. My lawn was started to show signs of losing its green, but wasn’t ready for a full fertilizer app. Someone suggested putting down Milo at 1/2 bag rate and two weeks later she is a supreme green even darker than before! Good stuff!

A month ago I started spoon feeding each week with liquid fert. So much more consistent color. Really dark green. It helps that it's a small front yard so it really only takes a few minutes. But I'm hooked.

First person I seen on YouTube actually using lebanon products. That stuff rules and it’s really really really good. For those who haven’t used it before you won’t be disappointed at all.

As always Ron...I’ve kept up with your lawn lessons this season and I have to say you have kept me interested even though I have a different type turf but your methods and approach works. Another Classic Informative Video. 👍🏽

Very glad I found your channel. I found “My Soil” testing from one of your previous videos. Purchased a kit for my backyard and recently got my results back, very eye opening. Just put in a second order for a second kit to test my front yard. Now I have a very specific plan of action I can take. Love your videos!

I have hybrid Bermuda as well and I hit mine with Milo first, waited two weeks then hit it heavy with 13-13-13 and 33-0-0...best move ever. My lawn it the thickest and greenest in the neighborhood. I cut it at about 2inches and it looks absolutely beautiful

I live in southwest Mississippi. A good way to have green grass of any variety is to get some RAIN! We are extremely dry right now, August 28, ‘24. I do not have an irrigation system, and hoses and sprinklers aren’t very effective in a large yard. Just had a little showers a while ago, but that will be only a drop in the bucket!

Okay IM BACK!!!! Took everything you said last season. And I failed last season BUT as of now I’m started before everyone else and I already got the greenest grass on my block . I’m back to get refreshed

[gergemall]

Thank Ron. I’m learning invaluable things from you and I thank you. I hope to sign up for your school if Father’s Day permits if not soon . ❤😊

[BRZTrackDays]

Thank you! I'm just starting to learn about how to keep my grass green and this is really helpful! It'd be awesome if you could inform us on where to buy these products. Thank you!

[marcelflo]

[rrurban]

This guy’s really good and knows his stuff

[nyacoustics]

so how tall should you keep the cool season grasses in new york, they are mostly blends of kentucky blue grass, etc

[timmitchell]

Great videos!!!! I'm newly retired and the lawn can finally get a lot more attention. What do you think about painting the lawn and/ or that green mousse spray on stuff???

[Sweetlady]

Wow, your grass looks better than lawn on the fertilizer package. Even the close up shoot was amazing.🙂👌

[davidamarquez]

Great info and easy breakdown especially for beginners.

[MrsLyds]

I just bought a house for the first time and I have no clue about how to maintain the landscape! This video was so informative, thank you!

[lauradunn]

How do you know what height to cut grass? I'm new at trying to get my lawn green again, its very patchy on color. Great video, very informative. thanks!

Nicely stated Ron. It's vital for correct plant nutrition that all necessary major, minor and micro elements be available for plant growth. We can agree that N, P, K and Iron are the ones commonly addressed. What about the others? Here is an example. How many realize that Magnesium is the central atom of the chlorophyll molecule? No Mg = no chlorophyll = no green. Think about it.
