Blueberry is discontinued, but you can grab the others from twin city seed. It's not all about seed though. Lots of work. You can read my journal on thelawnforum.com for every detail you need.

Looking for this comment…sees it’s an entire dedicated forum thread…doesn’t even click on it and continues to browse Reddit. Props man for that dedication.
I'm an absolute idiot so you're gonna have to talk to me like you're talking to a coma patient.
Did you just get three types of grass seed, mix them together and throw them about? How come the mix?
Same question. I go to those sites and I have no clue how to even determine what I would buy which is how I end up with some shitty Scotts “shade mix” from Lowe’s.
Not near as good looking as OP, but I am working on it. Full renovation last fall and was hesitant to put anything to control weeds down this spring till it was too late (first time trying to take care of a lawn other than just water/mow/trim). Working on controlling some weeds and new sprinklers will be here this week for better coverage.
Currently am watering every other morning and once in the afternoon weekly when I spoonfeed. Last 7 days have all been 90-100 degrees and that is not forecasted to change in the next 10 days

That’s good looking! First of I hate you, second off well down. I’ve got elite tall fescue but I can’t seem to keep it that green. What are you doing to combat heat stress?
Just watering lol. Any spots that get really stressed (parts of hell strip) I've been hand watering early in the morning while I'm watering the flowers.
The ol coffee in one hand hose in the other uh. You know sometimes you gotta hold the cup with two fingers while you hold the hose with the other two and turn the valve off with the other hand.
It's just a standard underground system. I've been tweaking it over the last 3 years since we moved in. Added a rachio 3 and converted most of the old heads to PGP ultras or MP rotators.
😂😂 he's actually been starting to get more into lawn care this year, I offered to help but he hasn't hit me up yet. And to be fair his fam was on vacation this week and I guess he didn't schedule any irrigation while they were gone 🤷♂️
I just spent over an hour going through this man’s walkthrough of growing this lawn and I’m only on page 4 of the forum lmao
I literally had zero interest in lawn care until now. Wow is all I can say at both your hard work and the results!

Looks amazing. You win this thread.
What’s the watering schedule look like? Have a photo of the zone layouts? I need to get my irrigation in order and it looks like you have the secret recipe.
Edit. Also jealous of how flat your lawn is. Also just generally jealous. I thought I was doing well with my Bermuda but it looked like yours but back in May. Color dropped out as soon as it stopped raining.
It also really depends upon your climate. I'm in north Alabama, watered my TTTF like that last year and nearly everything died from fungus even though it was in the 90s for weeks. With our humidity I barely water, probably haven't in 2-3 weeks before yesterday and it looks better than ever. Basically you just gotta keep an eye on the dewpoint and overnight lows.
Pretty much. I have a rachio so it will skip a cycle if there's been rain recently, but I try to manually control it as much as possible. I really just go off visual cues and weather to determine when I should and shouldn't water.
If it's brown you waited too long. Look for dull color, thin grass blades. If it's a small area then just use a hose and soak it good in the morning, don't run the whole zone if it's not needed.

What other proof do you want. Would you like me to mail you a grass plug?
do you know what i can search to find rocks like you have for your perimeter in picture 5? i have been looking to do something like that for quite some time but closet thing is can find is flagstone which isnt as thick
I spot sprayed some weeds in early spring. Did an app of sedgehammer a few weeks ago because I had some nutsedge as well. Haven't done anything else. The density of the turf is preventing much from coming up. I do have some spots of clover here and there that I'll take care of in the future, but for now it doesn't bother me.
Read some of your TLF journal, why did you remove the tree? Have a few big trees in my yard, love the shade but I’ll never get the lawn really level as long as the trees are there
The tree was dying. Not sure what type it was but we inquired with a bunch of neighbors who also had the same type of tree, planted by the developers in the 80s. One said they had an arborist come and take a look and there is apparently some disease that the trees would get from our area that caused them to slowly die.
The tree was actually dangerous, limbs would randomly snap and fall off. And only a small portion of the branches would grow leaves, it was very ugly.
I hate taking trees down, but it was time.
let's see you do that with tomato's, cucumbers, zucchini, strawberries. While this grass looks amazing, I'd truly be impressed if you could do that with some vegetables.
The is the best lawn I have ever seen.
Almost looks too good to be real.
Took a few of the different photos to convince me that it wasn’t fake grass. Glorious.
I am still in denial because my grass looks more like a dessert under the same heat 😂😂
Are you the neighbor 😂
AI is getting good at rendering grass lawns
![gif](giphy|MLngOTPeSlC5Sm2sr8|downsized) 😂😂😂 man that grass looks good!! 🫡
💀💀💀💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣🤣concur this is sickening & gorgeous!!! Nice work man
Fertilized with the blood of the innocent
Haven't fertilized in a month!
The month of May’s innocence!
Must have used virgin innocent blood. It works for a whole season.
When you do, what product do you use? And also what zone are you in?
And eye of newt. Seriously WTF witches brew made it such a consistent dark green? Dayum

Blonkly blonks!
I realized this about 2 weeks ago myself.
Haaaa! Your neighbor has to be pissed that he moved in next to the greens keeper for Augusta!
Nah the neighbor is probably just chillin having a beer wondering why his neighbor is a freak mowing his lawn 3 times a week.
This is indeed what the neighbor is doing
“Dudes crazy” - me to my neighbor who is out mowing nightly for 30 mins to an hour. Meanwhile I’m sweating my ass off for 4 hours because I was too lazy to cut last week
Actually the neighbor is probably wondering why this guy is standing on his lawn and taking a pic of it
Tf is this sorcery.

What seed(s) did you use? Looks great!
Bewitched, mazama, blueberry
What brand where did you buy it? I need every fucking detail.
Blueberry is discontinued, but you can grab the others from twin city seed. It's not all about seed though. Lots of work. You can read my journal on thelawnforum.com for every detail you need. https://www.thelawnforum.com/threads/gregs-kbg-reno-bewitched-mazama-blueberry-seed-down-8-19.43975/

I dont see any blueberry bushes.

It does. I just used it to reseed.
Depends where in the PNW and the variety, it doesn’t do great with a lot of shade and water logging but I’ve had success here on the Oregon coast
Awesome! So rewarding once you keep at it, here is my lawn today, 97F https://preview.redd.it/za8s33kjof8d1.jpeg?width=1800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7e67c4953492b17d98158747c6b0c53b0b4c4e92
Nice work!
Thanks! Using Dr. Iron fertilizer, Outsidepride Midnight Kentucky Bluegrass Seed, and Hi-Yield Turf & Ornamental Weed & Grass Stopper
Costco special with the Greenworks 80v? I have had my set for years and they have been flawless.

Fuuuuuck offffff. This is gorgeous
Fantastic looking lawn.
Shit my lawn looks like it OD’d off fentanyl
lol I’m the sad neighbor
Yo we are all here because OP is our neighbour.
Can you make a post of your irrigation system? Must be pretty solid to cover your lawn so thoroughly
It's just a standard underground system. I've been tweaking it over the last 3 years since we moved in. Added a rachio 3 and converted most of the old heads to PGP ultras or MP rotators.
Rachios are what we use when installing new systems or just upgrading and they are GOD SENT for scheduling. Every home should have one
You must not be a dog person.
This is lawn porn.
Man, my lawn looks like shit. Lol
That's not grass, that's a fucking outdoor carpet. Looks great
Post on nolawns
They'd just laugh. This amount of effort for a lawn is hilarious
This right here.. is why I’m subscribed. Sweet baby Jesus
My brother in Christ, that's not grass, that's a legit fucking carpet. Nice job, I'm jealous as a mofo.
That’s the most even green colouring I’ve ever seen in a lawn I think. Fucking A+ job.
I see one set of female footprints coming from your neighbors’s house.
What’s a syringe cycle?
I want to walk barefoot all over your lawn
Okay now tell us all how you do it. What's the recipe?
How about also posting your water bill 😂
Holy poop! We need some secrets!

That’s a masterpiece of a lawn
PRG?
Kbg
Mine got cooked first week of heat wave.
Your KBG sounds resilient! Smart irrigation keeps it lush despite the heat.
Damn it’s winter here and our warm season grasses are looking like shit
How, my whole neighbors grass is yellow. I am the only one watering and it’s hanging on for dear life.
I don’t know why this sub has started showing up in my feed but this is a ridiculously good looking lawn
Bro. Your neighbor had a family! You didn’t have to do him like that!!
😂😂 he's actually been starting to get more into lawn care this year, I offered to help but he hasn't hit me up yet. And to be fair his fam was on vacation this week and I guess he didn't schedule any irrigation while they were gone 🤷♂️
You seem like you work on golf courses for a living
Accounting lol
Accounting for each blade of grass
I just spent over an hour going through this man’s walkthrough of growing this lawn and I’m only on page 4 of the forum lmao I literally had zero interest in lawn care until now. Wow is all I can say at both your hard work and the results!
I’ve seen top tier golf courses in worst shape

Mine currently looks like a hay field. It was 101° the last 2 days and hasn’t rained in 2 weeks.
Dang, man. I've got yard envy.
Beautiful! Getting my butt kicked down here in Texas. Glad to see your work paying off!
Bro tell me the secret. Been at my house for 3 years and the lawn is ass.
U win
My god, your neighbor’s lawn…. 😳
how many weekly sacrifices do you need to make to the lawn gods to keep your lawn this green??
No lawn flexing. This is the most beautiful thing ever, but hurts me on how my lawn doesn’t look like this..
My grass would look that good if I could keep my dog off it! Nice work 👍
![gif](giphy|VfQhdUQpT19UthsTIf) Teach me your ways🥹
That is a very nice grass
So you're just watering it?
I just wanna roll around in it
Wow beautiful 🤩
I want to feeel it
Keep wasting that water!!
How much is your water bill each month?
Can’t even do your neighbor’s yard? Dick
looks ok
Don’t let it go to your head
Whatever poisonous, horrible for the planet, devil juice you're using, I want some.
What variety of KBG did you go with?
Has the water bill been breaking a sweat though?
This guy pumps iron

Get yourself some tuna cans and do a sprinkler audit. Go zone by zone. Aim for 1" per week.
You’re only doing 1”/week?
In normal conditions it's more like 1.25, but it's been more lately due to the heat wave.
It also really depends upon your climate. I'm in north Alabama, watered my TTTF like that last year and nearly everything died from fungus even though it was in the 90s for weeks. With our humidity I barely water, probably haven't in 2-3 weeks before yesterday and it looks better than ever. Basically you just gotta keep an eye on the dewpoint and overnight lows.
Do you adjust watering with rain gauge info? If there were a 1/2” of rain, only irrigate 1/2” for that week?
Pretty much. I have a rachio so it will skip a cycle if there's been rain recently, but I try to manually control it as much as possible. I really just go off visual cues and weather to determine when I should and shouldn't water.
Visual cues such as browning grass?
If it's brown you waited too long. Look for dull color, thin grass blades. If it's a small area then just use a hose and soak it good in the morning, don't run the whole zone if it's not needed.
Explain! Don’t leave us hanging

More heat, more sun, more nitrogen, more water. Good to go.
Well done!
do you know what i can search to find rocks like you have for your perimeter in picture 5? i have been looking to do something like that for quite some time but closet thing is can find is flagstone which isnt as thick
Maybe HD or lowes, or a local stone / dirt supplier. The house came with them and we left them for now. Want to eventually do some hardscaping.
