Ventrac Vs Armyworms | GCI Turf Lawn RestorationPete Denny is a Ventrac Sponsored Advocate.Follow Pete!! @GCITurf https://www.youtube.com/c/GCITurfServices Today we are onsite for a big project, and we’ve got a bunch of Ventrac equipment to get the job done. Here in Ohio this year, a lot of homeowners have seen Armyworms in their yards. This yard is no exception. The grass-eating larvae have come in and completely destroyed half of this yard.So what we are here to do is recondition this damaged yard. We will be utilizing around 10 Ventrac attachments and accessories and 4 Ventrac tractors to make quick work of this very large job. With the Ventrac Power Rake, the old, dead grass is uprooted. The Landscape Rake will then remove the dead material, and new topsoil is added, leveled, and graded with the Power Rake. The goal is to recondition, reseed, aerate and fertilize so that it is ready going into fall and will be looking great come spring.We needed an expert to help us do it right, so we invited Pete Denny from GCI Turf to join us on this yard renovation. He is an expert on grass growing and teaching others how to get their dirt right for a healthy yard. We seeded this yard with Pete’s ‘Cool Blue’ blend grass seed using the EA600 AERA-Vator and applied Protene fertilizer for optimal root development.The Ventrac’s compact size and maneuverability came as an advantage in many situations on this property for navigating the landscape and tight spaces in the backyard. And with multiple Ventracs on the job, what could have been a week-long project, was completed in a day. And one month later, the end results speak for themselves.
