How to Kill Lawn Weeds and Fix Ugly Lawn
Doc treats the ugly lawn full of weeds and applies everything the lawn needs to become a healthy Bermuda lawn within a month or two. A step by step guide to applying lawn treatments to an ugly lawn for treating weeds, bugs, and feeding the lawn with fertilizer.
Notes / TIPS:
This can be applied to fescue, Bermuda, KBG and Zoysia lawns. NOT centipede.
Read the label for application rates DO NOT rely on the video.
Make sure your lawn is cut normal height, not scalped. You want weed foliage present when applied. Make sure there is NO RAIN coming for at least 12 hours. This treatment works best when temps are in the 80s and it’s sunny out for 2-3 days. However, we HAVE done this while temps are in the 90s without any severe issues. This can be applied to fescue, Bermuda, KBG and Zoysia lawns. NOT centipede. Read the label for application rates DO NOT rely on the video.
Do NOT do this treatment to newly seeded or newly sodded lawns.
New seed and sod needs to LEFT ALONE the first year. In the SECOND SEASON you can attack it.
WARNING: Your Bermuda lawn may show some STRESS or yellowing. But the treatment will not KILL the Bermuda. We have found that it’s best to hit the weeds fairly hard and then BRING BACK the Bermuda.
STEP #1: Doc applied the granular pre-emergent, DOUBLE KILL granular for bugs, PGF Complete, and HUMICHAR with the spreader while there was dew on the grass.
STEP #2: Doc applied the Q4 weed killer below at a rate of 2.6 ounces per 1000 sq ft. 1/2 of this application was done via a hose end spray bottle and the other 1/2 was done an hour later via a backpack sprayer. He also added green dye and a surfactant as well.
TIPS: There are 8 ounces in a CUP. It’s easier to use a measuring cup to avoid confusion. Example: If your lawn is 10,000 sq ft you have TEN 1000 sq ft areas. So 10 times 2.6 = 26 ounces for the ENTIRE lawn. 26 ounces divided by 8 ounces (in a cup) = 3.25 cups of the treatment.

Reel Mower Special for Doc’s Viewers
PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING
Order ONLINE ONLY via the link below. (DO NOT CALL THEM) The point is to REDUCE customer service and personnel requirements during this time. When checking out, write “free grass catcher per Doc” in the notes / memo.
Doc STRONGLY recommends the 25″ GR series (not the greens keeper) This unit is more “inline” with the average homeowner. From the factory, it will cut between 3/4″ and 1.5″ tall. Also, he STRONGLY recommends the 25″ model. Most that buy any reel mower below this width end up wishing that they had gone wider in time. It produces a better cut and is better with uneven areas in the lawn.
The link below will take you directly to the 25″ model Doc suggest.
PRICING and Order Time NOTES:
The unit linked is roughly $1890 + roughly $200 freight (included in TOTAL price) plus front grooved roller (Included) and grass catcher (included). That total is about $2099.
Shipping times vary and are roughly 1-3 weeks due to COVID delays.
