Couldn't imagine being your neighbor and coming home everyday and seeing your lawn vs mine lol!

[augiet]

I really like Venusaur as my favorite grass type.

[xrpxtrariceplease]

I go for crabgrass for easy care result!

[dwnbythrivr]

Don’t waste your money on box store seed. Get the ELITE seed! You will thank yourself later. Great video Ryan and that KBG is 🔥🔥🔥

[danieltaulbee]

In my opinion, this is the best video you've ever made. Thanks for making the information so easy to understand instead of just pushing fix-it products.

[lushlawns]

I can't tell you enough how pleased we are with the Elite shade mix we seeded this spring. The lawns look absolutely stunning!

[scottmurphys]

I can't say I am much of a lawn care person, but this video was well done and kept my interest. I learn a lot, and has peak my curiosity about doing something with my lawn. Thanks!

Best lawn mix in my area is crabgrass, nutgrass, creeping Charlie with some clover mixed in.

I like KBG. It sucks when summer rolls around because all the water in the world won't help when its too hot. However, in the Sping and Fall I find myself looking at the lawn and saying this looks so good.

[pennyarizzio]

HOLY CRAP!!! What a GREAT video. Holy smokes Ryan! Thank you for taking the the time to explain all the different grasses. I have to place an order. Thank you!

I’ve had tall fescue for about 10 years it does very well in heat I also do water it. I like the look of tall looking grass I cut it around 3 inches and it’s the only lawn on the block that’s still green In this heatwave.

I've had all (3) individually and also have had all (3) blended. In my honestly opinion, my lawn looked and felt the best with Kentucky Blue Grass.

[nykkiflandiva]

I really appreciate this Ryan. I’m a lawn rookie who just planted rye grass (perennial) and for the first time it seems to be doing quite well. Thanks for these great tips😊

This video is insanely good! What quality, digestible info! Thanks Ryan!

Love my 80% bluegrass 20% PRG. Thanks Ryan. Did a complete lawn renovation in spring, fall, spring. Everything you said about KBG is spot on. Great stripes with a modified rotary mower.

Ryan, you’ve been always super helpful. This is very informative! Thank you for all you do, much appreciated. I’ll be in touch shortly, need to do a full renovation this fall. The lawn took a hit this summer.

Ordered perennial ryegrass from Ryan this year. Good experience and fast shipping. Thanks Ryan. Keep up the good content

Completely new to this channel and grass in general:
We are finishing up developing our property and I am trying to figure out what would be the best option for grass. A couple notes:
- There is already existing grass covering most of the property (no idea what it is - it was a hay field. Is there seed that we can lay down that will take over what is there?
- We have a big dog who loves to run around and play fetch. Especially when the ground is wet, he can tare up a yard pretty significantly. Is there a recommendation for a hearty, strong rooted grass that might be a bit more resistant to this, or recover quickly?
- For the most part we have no shade.
- We are located up in Northern VT.
- We have a high water table (about 3') and in the spring it can be pretty spongey.
- I am not looking for anything fancy (stripe mowing, etc.) I just want something that will look nice, feel nice, and is lower maintenance.
- My wife has some chemical sensitivities (and of course we have the dog) so I don't want to have to use weed killing products.
Hopefully my ignorance isn't making this post too dumb (it might sound like I want a miracle solution), but I just want to know what would work best for us.
Thanks!

Ryan, great job on the grass tutorial, very helpful.

[jamestipton]

pretty glad i live in an area that takes warm season grasses. bermuda can handle just about anything. easy as heck to care for as well.
