Most homeowners struggle with their lawn — but very few understand why.
In Part 1 of this 3-part series, Coach Matt tackles the #1 landscape frustration homeowners face: lawn and turf problems.
From watering mistakes and mowing height errors to fertilization timing, weed control, grubs, soil conditions, and pet damage — this episode breaks down what’s actually going wrong and how to fix it the right way.
You’ll learn:
• Cool season vs warm season grass differences
• The 1-inch watering rule (and when it fails)
• How mowing height impacts turf health
• Why fertilization timing matters
• How weeds and grubs really spread
• Common mistakes that quietly ruin lawns
This is practical, no-fluff lawn care guidance for serious DIY homeowners.

Great video Thanks Coach!!! I'm always trying to improve my lawn and it's about time to start thinking about this year's lawn!!!
My biggest problem is we got rid of a big tree that was dying…it provided a bunch of shade…now that lawn which is my front just burns up I need a different type of grass for my front that is heat resistant
