Everest is a nice looking bluegrass from what I've seen. Should do well for you. I can see your bent putting green in the aerial shot lol.

The bent was killed off this spring, I failed. I just didn't have the time/passion to commit to it to make it look how I wanted. I grew in perennial ryegrass this spring as a placeholder till I seed with bluegrass.

 

Huge project! Good luck and I'll be following along. Current lawn looks great

Ah it happens. I hear bent is finicky. I like bluegrass more anyways.

 

You're my hero of the day that's a big project ahead but the new sprinkler system definitely makes it so much easier. Good luck keep up with your journal tons of help if you hit a hickup

Yes it's big job but nothing compared to that irrigation install. Added 12 zones, 70 heads and 2,500 feet of pipe pulled/trenched. I had been waiting to renovate till the irrigation was addressed so now it time to get it done.

 

Everest turns to be pretty good and...lazy. Season 2, it will blow many other cultivars off the water though. Good luck brother!

 

Watching with anticipation..... we are in a similar situation..

 

Early morning spray, Aneauw, iron and .25lbs N. Will likely be the last treatment on my Reno area before I hit it with round up. Seed should arrive tomorrow, I am super excited to get this started. August 14/15 can't come soon enough.

 

I am abnormally excited about the arrival of this!

 

Not abnormal at all. A fresh bag of elite KBG seed with that logo is like the holy grail to me. I'll be following your reno. Good luck!

 

Following! Hell of a project with a hell of a good seed. As @jrubb42 experienced with his test plot, patience is key with this cultivar. 40% in a mix of this beauty went down for me 2 years ago

 

As a fellow 2021 reno'er I'll be following along as well. Awesome property!

 

1st glyphosate application went down this morning….. bitter sweet for sure

 

Let the reno season begin! My first round will be on the 3rd. Good luck to you!

 

Wow.. You are getting an early start.. Now I feel behind. Wasn't planning to do gly for another 10-12 days...

I am heading out of town till the 11th and know if could take me a few days afterwards to get the time to spray the area. I would of waited till Saturday morning 7/3 but it's likely to be raining from tonight till then. I would pretty longer fallow then a short one. Gonna look like shit for a bit anyway

How much area you going to renovate??? Looks like I will be at 18,000 sq. ft. Shooting for 2.5lbs of seed per thousand, that way if I am low or high a hair it will still be in the range.

I am doing 10,000. I am also seeding at 2.5 lb per k…. Are you doing any levelling or grading?

 

Overall I am doing a minor amount of grading. My yard is pretty smooth overall. I will eventually sand it, but it's acceptable as is for mowing at .75".

 

Another large KBG elite yard reno. You guys are a bad influence! :lol:

Your current nomix looked nice but cant wait to see your results with the Everest.

Subscribed!

Join the club!! It's only grass…..

 

Following! This is gonna turn out awesome, I've heard great things about Everest. Best of luck!

My yard is smooth, but has some dips etc... I am going to bring in 1 yard per 1000 sqft + 2 yards extra (12 yard) of 50% compost 50% USGA sand and level it a little better.. Should also make a good seed bed....

Are you going to Peat on top? I am planning to do it if I can.

Thanks
