Customer photo review of Flowzone Typhoon 3.0

Nicholas C.

Hands down best pressure washer and GCI not only had the best deal I could find, but a few days after I received it, I was sent the tips that GCI made and it made the deal all that much more better. If you are spraying as a homeowner, the tips that come with the FZ are as intro as it gets, but the free tips they send you get you to a place where you can do just about everything without buying more tips.

Customer photo review of GCI Turf Wand Buddy

Nicholas C.

This is a great wand because it is a pleasure to hold. The FlowZone wand okay, but I knew when I bought the backpack I needed to replace it right away because I hold a pressure washer style wand with my pressure washer enough and wanted something a little more relaxing and familiar with lawn chems. This upgrade also gave me more variability when using my tips. Out the box, this is the best wand I’ve used so far.

Had a lot of nimblewill. 2 applications of Tenacity, filled in a few low spots and over seeded with a power slitter seeder. The pictures are 3 weeks after overseeing.

Customer photo review of Cool Season Lawn Care Guide

Fred M.

Haven’t actually used it yet. Had a lawn care service this year (2024) and the service messed up my lawn during the late Spring when the Fungus started and mis-applied the first application for Dollar Spot and Brown Patch. Then denied it was their mistake. So I will take over my lawn applications for next year. Thinking about getting the 25 gal. Spray Buddy. My lawn size is 15,000 sq ft. Looking forward to next year.

So far very happy with this seed!! A little back story… we used to use Scott’s tall fescue seed for many years. Every season we would seed and thought we were getting pretty good results. We fertilized, aerated and everything you are supposed to do. We recently used Tenacity to kill the last of the weeds before seeding again. Tenacity is supposed to be safe for tall fescue so we were astonished when 90% of our lawn turned white. Turns out even though we were throwing Scott’s tall fescue seed dow...

Customer photo review of N-Ext Seeding / Over-seeding Package

Michael S.

Aerated & overseeded with GCI Turf Spreader Elite Fescue at 8 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. on 9/6/22 on a lawn that was probably 75/25 ratio tttf / bare red clay North Carolina soil. I had visible germination on 9/10/22 and this pic was taken on the evening of 9/29/22. TRUST Pete and his Academy program, he knows what he is doing and his products and YouTube videos are the best, hands down for the DIYS' ers like me!!!

14 days out in this photo with a lawn renovation, TTTF replacing KBG that had necrotic ring spot 😖 I bought both Pete’s guides, and product, and watch many of his videos, and were off to the races.

After not being satisfied with another grass seed last year I figured I'd give GCI a shot. So I Scalped and thatched my lawn with little grass remaining. I aerated and overseeded on September 5th along with protene starter fertilizer. After one week there was germination and the picture was taken on September 28th. Very satisfied with the grass, a few spots need to be touched up due to not wanting to put down to much at once.

Customer photo review of GCI Turf Blue Heat Grass Seed

Jeffrey P.

Greetings from the Washington Olympic Peninsula in the great Pacific Northwest. Unfortunately I was not able to renovate and overseed our entire lawn due to a community wide irrigation system breakdown the first week of August, I was able to do my backyard. I cut the existing Fine Fescue/Rye at 1”, power rake in three different directions and aerated in three different directions. I then began to overseed and spread a locally available lawn compost mixture to augment the existing heavy clay...

Very easy to send off to the lab and very easy to understand the results. I did a test in the spring, made applications to fix it and now everything is in check.

This is my second year overseeding with GCI Turf Cool Blue on about a half acre section of my property in Northern Illinois. The grass is thick, stripes great on a JD x380 tractor with a 54" deck, sharp blades, and no roller. Weeds are almost non existent. I only sprayed once this Spring. I don't water my grass, and I cut it at 3.5". This is a great product and I will keep this as part of my annual maintenance plan.

I’m new at this. Out here in Western Colorado, with 11,000 feet of renovation. Out with the KBG (necrotic ring spot issues), in with TTTF. I just discovered him, but I’ve already watched 40 of his videos, bought the combined Academy program, and have bought product from GCI. I like everything about this man.

Hi GCI Team! Planted your TTTF on Aug 30th in Northern California and after only a few weeks on Sep 20th it's looking amazing! Prior to seeding it was basically dead grass all around and the side lawn was dirt, so we're extremely thrilled. Looking forward to seeing how the lawn matures over time. Great product, thanks!

Recently moved to this new house and wanted to improve the lawn. Went with GCI Cool Blue and the knowledge of Pete. Photo is a 14 days before and after, not yet mowed, still waiting on the KBG to make it even more greener and fuller. Tall Fescue started showing up after 4 days and still have got that favorable below 70 soil temperature. Absolutely zero weeds so far and I am very happy with the results so far.

I saw Pet from GCI Turf on YouTube before purchasing house in 2019. Then I started to purchase his GCI TURF TALL FESCUE SEEDS. They are great! No complaints. I recommend these to my friends and family. I've been buying from GCI TURF since 2019 from seeds and now fertilizer. Can't go wrong. Get it .

This is really great seed, I did a full kill off of my previous lawn down to just dirt, and after just 7 days my lawn was vibrant green! Extremely happy with the results so far and looking forward to seeing how the lawn matures over time, i am only 10 days in right now!

I’m in Hampton, VA and stumbled across gciturf on YouTube and discovered you were from my fathers hometown of Reidsville. I visit Reidsville annually. I purchased the grass seed and fertilizer couple years before I ordered to academy program, which I recently ordered. I ordered it because ask me often how do I grow such nice grass and because I don’t want to steer the wrong I felt the need to download the program so I wouldn’t steer people in wrong direction or give bad advise. It is the perfect...

Started germinating beginning of day 4. Used some N-ext rgs and liquid aerate along with scotts starter fert with tenacity at seeding. This picture is day 6. Very impressed. I even goofed up and did not rake in the seeds. Covered with peat moss using a spreader only and still having great results. Will definitely be buying more for the back yard renovation. A++

I haven't been able to do all the biostimulant applications this year but the fungicide and protene fertilizer alone have my lawn looking the best it ever has. Can't wait to see the results when I overseed with the GCI cool Blue

Customer photo review of GCI Turf Pressure Gauge QD Kit

Nicholas C.

I’m just a homeowner so this was more of a novelty, but still pretty cool to see what the different settings are on the FlowZone. It may actually help me save my pump because I noticed with the XR11004 (red tip) that setting 3 through 5 on the FZ was really high and the same so I was unnecessarily over working the pump on these settings. The gauge is a little bigger and heavier than I thought and tends to rotate when I’m marching around really fast, but there is also no reason for me to monito...

This is my first time using 5-0-5 and let me tell you, my lawn is “shining like a new penny”. This product is a MUST HAVE for your DIY LawnCare program.

The Five 0 Five

Angelo A.

Always love the N-Ext products . First time using Green POP and it didn't let me down. Thinner consistency than other N-ext products so sprayed easier. Started seeing a greener lawn in 3-4 days. Wanted the extra phosphate and potassium along with the higher nitrogen for my first Spring application to give the lawn the boost it needed and help the roots. I then followed up 1 week later with RGS & Air 8. Now if the weather would cooperate ( very cold 2022 spring) we should be mowing shortly. I use...

Customer photo review of N-Ext BioStimulant Package

Gregory W.

I start my season, using the GreenPunch. Then, I use the BioStimulant Pack. Generally, the 1st of each month. Then, on the 15th of each month, I put down a liquid 10-10-10, rotating these, all season long. Then, throughout the season, I supplement with Cal-Tide, Hydra-Tane and Ironite. We’ve got about an acre of grass, in the Northeast, and we don’t irrigate. These products have been outstanding for us! The lawn is always lush green, and isn’t affected by the mid season drought. LOVE THIS STUFF...

I used the TTTF Spreader Elite in my backyard after killing off a lot of crabgrass. Photos don't do it justice how much better things look. There were bare spots before and a lot more after the Mesotrione killed off the weeds. The TTTF took off quick and things looked better in a couple of weeks. Results this Spring have been amazing watching it come in lush and thick.

Customer photo review of Protene Performance Winter Fertilizer

I love the Protene fertilizers. I have been following Pete on YouTube and I ordered the Cool Season Lawn Guide. I live in Bryant, AR and I must say that I have the best looking yard in my neighborhood! Thank you Pete!

Protene Performance Winter Fertilizer

Adrian G.

I am glad Pete introduced the Protene line up. Truthfully my lawn hasn't looked this good in a long. The photo was taken on 12-9-21 and with all the days we have had some hard frost, lawn is still holding up. My neighbors yards are turning yellow and I am still holding on to my green. Love it!! Thanks Pete.

I can really tell the difference in the new lawn staying nice and green with the start of winter after fertilizing x3 40lb bags with the 19-0-19. (My first time ever growing a full lawn from scratch, full renovation). Pete and crew have been super helpful with any questions I have had!!! GCI is my one stop shop for anything lawn care from now on. Thanks again!

Reinaldo C.

I applied this product 3 days ago with the other N-Ext goodies and all I can say is that this thing is solid gold. I am blaming myself for not having a picture of my lawn before, but I can tell you that it wasn't like this. I really recommend all the N-EXT products.

Customer photo review of GCI Turf Alpha Elite Bermuda Grass Seed

Alex G.

Just planted it today, a little late for the Bermuda but was waiting for a tree company to come in and they kept pushing off. I’m sure it’s going to turn out great! I’m going to pump the extra nitrogen in it after 10 days of germination depending how it looks and really try to push it before we loose the heat. Every product I’ve used of yours has never failed to amaze me. I have a test plot at my house with the gci cool blue and mannn it is the only seed in the test plot that has with held this ...

Great product that is easy to apply. Can take a day or two, in my opinion, for the product to really shine but that first cut really shows off the iron and green effect.

I'm about 12ish days in and I'm having pretty good results. This is a new construction on a 2 acre lot. I plan to maintain around 14k in nice turf and let the rest be crap. 2 days after seeding we received a heavy heavy rain. At the bottom of the should be"crap grass" area is a nice stand of bermuda from runoff. We are in an extremely dry and hot period for June in East Central Mississippi, but I'm dragging sprinklers before and after work to get it going. I've used the gcitttf down here...

Pete and GCI Turf rocks! Great service with great prices. I have turf type tall fescue with rye grass mix at 3.5 inches located in Western Massachusetts. My stripes my not be made from a commercial grade machine, but I'm happy with the results from the products I use and purchase at GCI Turf! Thanks, Pete!

I have been using Humic 12 purchased from GCI for almost 4 years. The transformation of our lawn to a super thick and green lawn is amazing. The addition of quart containers with the easy sprayer makes applying product to certain areas much more convenient.
