Customer photo review of GCI Turf Cart Buddy 20 Gallon

Fred M.

I am looking forward to using the 20 gallon cart buddy this spring (2025). I have been watching most of Pete’s YouTube videos this past year and when I saw him talk about the 20 gallon Cart Buddy, I knew I wanted one. I have 15,000 sq ft lawn in southwestern Indiana and have used professional lawn companies in my area, but have been unhappy with their service. So I have decided to begin taking care of my own lawn to get the results I want. I plan to use primarily liquid fertilizers and N-EXT pro...

Customer photo review of GCI Turf Mix Buddy

Ruben H.

I am very impressed with the quality of the components, the overall design and how strong the pump agitation is. The remote control is also a nice touch. This is definitely the kind of product that is intended to last for a very long time. I can’t wait to bring this into my workflow for all of my applications this spring.

Nicholas H.

I can honestly say the 30-0-0 has made my TTTF darker. I been using the Protene 19-0-19 and the 20-0-0 with 0-0-20 but it hasn't gotten this dark. Love it....

Customer photo review of OII-YS Natural Adjuvant

Lee O.

I am a firm believer in this product. From experience, I saw the liquid fertilizers and especially the herbicides, become more effective when using this product. This photo is from July and tells the story. Thanks, Pete and GCI! The shopping experience is always great and thank you for supporting military, veterans and first-responders. 🫡

I needed a spray gun for my foam canon and this product from GCI Turf fit the bill! In addition to purchasing what I needed, I also helped Pete clear his shop out. Thanks, Pete!

I'd like to thank Pete & all the folks at GCI for all the guidance throughout the years. I've owned my home for 14 years. I love lawn care and landscaping. The quality of the GCI products are hands down the best. Grass seed, Fertilizer, soil Amendments even weed and pest control. Best! Thanks to all the detailed videos on YouTube, I've got a lawn that looks like Pete's. Keep up the great work guys! Your hard work is showing!!

Look at that color!!! God is good! Germination was in 4 days, but it took a full 3-4 weeks before I was seeing that dark green color. 🔥💚

Killed off most of my old grass and weeds, I dethatched, scarified and seeded,fertilized put down tenacity, RGS, and covered with peat moss, was getting good germination and then "Helene" hit us pretty hard.It washed away peat and seed and grass, so after cleaning up the big mess. I re seeded those areas that needed it and finally( thanks to good weather) have pretty good coverage. I have spread some of the new GCI 30-0-0 fertilizer of parts of the yard that I didn't have to re seed. I love the ...

Customer photo review of GCI Turf Cool Blue Grass Seed

Leonel V.

I read online not to seed with cool blue in Southern California because the seed would struggle to germinate or stay healthy. Guess what!? They were wrong! The grass came in beautiful in just two weeks and the heat has been up in the 90’s. It’s now been 4 weeks and the grass is thriving. The KBG is coming in nicely. Didn’t take long for it to germinate. I’d say a week for the TTTF and 2 weeks for the KBG. I just added the second dose of fertilizer and boy, did it love it. Anyways, this seed work...

Hey Pete, Thanks for all you do for us lawn nuts! I love the lawn care guide, and your products are great! I'm glad you and your family are doing well! I always look forward to your videos, and you are an inspiration, for not only my interest in my lawn, but much more importantly, my faith. I love your stories, and the little bit of preaching you do! Keep strong brother, and if you're ever in Louisville, during your occasional travels, let me know. It would be great to meet you!

I had to buy another bag of Cool Blue after having phenomenal results from the first bag. Now I'm getting ready to renovate my side yard. This is my first year with Cool Blue and its my first year that my yard didn't go dormant during the summer here in Indianapolis, IN. I've given samples to my friends and they ended up buying their own bags. Great stuff!

I have been using my new flowzone typhoon 3 that my wife purchased from y’all around Christmas time. I’ve been watching your YouTube channel for 3 years or so an I have learned so much. Trying to do all liquids this season the de foamer helps while mixing multiple products for applications!

Customer photo review of GCI Clean Pressure Washer Kit

Todd E.

From the packaging to the final product it is top notch. I was shopping around a lot and most people know there is another kit out there. It is a shame this one doesn’t get more exposure because I would say this one is even better. It has really nice touches that the other does not. No extra or special brackets needed to mount on studs. Their shelf and reel mount 16” on center. The quality is crazy good and strong. Then they build in all the quick release pieces you need to mount all your access...

I am very happy to have found a product to replace the glyphosate based weed control that really works. I got a case of the Zip Zap and a 4 gallon Zephyr battery backpack sprayer and I just want to thank Pete for carrying and selling this product and sprayer. The only complaint I have is... it is too convenient to use and I will be buying a lot more of it!

Customer photo review of Lesco Chemlawn Spray Gun

Tyler C.

I became licensed this year to spray lawns as a side gig. I started with a very heavy spray gun that for the job done, but wore my hand out! I purchased the Chemlawn gun and finally got a chance to calibrate it and I’m very happy to say it was spot on for me right about the gate. This gun is so light and way easier to operate than the other gun I used. My hand and forearm are much less fatigued AND its spray pattern is way more efficient in comparison. Thanks for a a great product and for all t...

I wish that I had a before picture. Before this, I had lots of bare spots where I used a disease control bought by GCI after they helped me to identify the issue. The different, lighter color, is the new grass that came in this fall. The fertilizer is really helping the grass to green up. Thanks GCI for all that you do.

Used this seed to replant over a half acre of lawn. Replacing bermuda which is showing signs in a few spots of coming back up. That said the seed was planted via hydroseeding on October 29th in Sacramento CA. The attached photos are two of my three Lawns as of Nov 14th. Seed is about 67% germinated in all the sun areas and about 50% germinated in the more shaded areas. The germination ie. plant spacing of the seeds is very good and appears it will be a thick lawn once mature. Very happy this far...

Stacy S.

I really like the Zephyr 4 gallon back pack sprayer. Thank you including the sprayer nozzle in the order. The battery last longer than I expected and the sprayer works better than I expected. This tool has saved me a lot of time already and look forward to using this in the future! I would highly recommend this product to anyone needing a good quality back pack sprayer.

Shawn M.

I had melting out/gray leaf spot, I ordered Cleary's 3336 and within a couple weeks it was pretty much gone!!! I followed up with Azoxystrobin and Propiconazole to get all the group fungicides to fight against fungus. Thanks again Pete, you’re truly top notch and only sell top quality products!!

Fantastic complete low pressure/high flow pressure washer and reel kit! I bought this primarily for washing our cars. I was easily convinced after using one a friend had recently purchased. The kit arrived quickly and everything was packaged very well. I did have to pull up the installation video on YouTube and give that a watch prior to installation, but it was brief and made the install a breeze. My finished install includes a stainless garden hose holder from JBScoop, a 90 degree elbow, ...

Used this in my early spring round 1 application and it really brought in the green after winter. First time using this Protene fertilizer so we will see how well it feeds as time goes on.

Shipping took too long for a 2 day 🚚 delivery but I purchased this motor($2) from your website as exact replacement since the original motor corroded. So I took a chance for being offered at that price. The installation was a little finicky but I managed and I’m thrilled 🤩 with the results.

Every fall and spring I replenish my pine needle mulch. I'm sure that after using mulchcrete I won't need as much. We have had 2 massive rain falls and my needles are still in place. This stuff works better than expected

Have not used the summer fertilizer as of yet because obviously it's still spring time. But I get constant compliments and questions about my grass. Have been told frequently I have the best looking yard by far in any surrounding neighborhoods not just mine.

Jeff W.

Couldnt love it more. Company has been communicative and friendly, reel and shelf is so well designed and constructed! Considered less expensive options, but they just didnt seem right. This is such a great value for what it actually is, that i pulled the trigger and zero regrets!

We built a new house 18 months ago. The yard was done with did, but l later learned it was low quality. After 5-6 months the front yard was overrun with weeds. I sprayed with Barricade to kill weeds then two weeks later de-thatched, aerated and seeded. Seeing positive results after nearly 3 weeks.

I was looking forward to this purchase since the design came out, tired of filling up the backpack multiple times. I did have minor issues to start, some parts missing from the shipment (original package was damaged so could have fell out) but support worked with me to get what I need. Once I had everything, the unit works as advertised. Huge time savings with only one fill up and mixing, I also noticed an improved spray pattern with GCI spray nozzles over my older FlowZone models. Cant wait ...

This stuff is a game changer. My soil is less than good and have gone to using this regularly along with RGS to help turn things around. Very happy with it and the results speak for themselves!

Overseeded last fall, these are the results. Picked up some more seed for spring repairs and yet another overseed this coming fall. Trying to change the profile of my lawn with good quality seed

GCI Turf Type Tall fescue Grass Seed

Ronald S.

Location is central Indiana. Planted over old stump locations that I dug out. Filled with cheap soil from Lowes. Sprinkled seed like I do garlic in my meals, with my heart vice a measure. Lightly covered with cheap soil and watered. No fertilizer and not terrific watering schedule on my part post planting. Not ideal planting technique for sure but I'm super happy with growth results after 2 weeks.

Doug S.

Soil was treated for Compaction. Mowed low, Detached and Fertalized. After only 5 days I saw results. Ten days all barde spots filled in. This NEW TT Fescue is amazing. Doug Fullerton, California. This area close to the concrete was always bare! 10ft by 5ft. This cured so many bare spots!
