Great to see the progress on your jobs, triangle looking good already. I wonder if you could group title these by each site so people can take a look before and after easily if they stumble on your vids.

[@johncanter9575]

The videos this year are soooo good… and so is that lawn. Got your products today, super fast delivery so thanks for that. Can’t wait to get them on the grass 😁

Hello Daniel. Followed all your advice and cut the lawn today. Looks really good. Thank you so much.👍

Brilliant video Dan! Rewarding work. It’s a tough job (I do it for a living too) so can relate to the cold dark days.

Great video Dan, so true what you said about it being worth the effort and giving it time. It's hard to be patient after putting in the effort and spending money on kit and products, but it's worth the wait👍

[@rickywatkins9424]

On another level you are mate, class well done

[@iamburko]

I was always told to leave new seed until it's 5-7cm before cutting, but as I've overseeded its now getting to the point where the existing grass is getting a little long. Seems like running the mower over the old stuff wont cause any damage from how this looks!

[@carlkrystek2679]

Hi Dan, I just want to say 'thanks' for all the great content.... I finally declared war on my moss and after 2 applications of Iron Sulphate and weed killer (4 weeks ago) I then took my newly purchased scarifier to the lawn this weekend and removed 15 bags of moss/thatch! I've just over seeded and applied 8 bags of Jack's Magic (lovely compost btw) and now waiting for the germination to begin! I will order the Stellar/Sow Pro/Grace to put on in the next couple of weeks and I'm looking forward to the end results. Thanks again for giving me the confidence to do this and keep up the good work! 👍🏼

Good luck u can do it

[@carlkrystek2679]

@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert Cheers Dan... I finally have germination! Also, I have received your Stellar/Sow Pro/Grace products ready to put on 'tonight' although I note that the dosage rates are slightly different for each product- what dosage would you recommend I put in a 5l sprayer (all 3 products mixed) for a 80m2 lawn?

[@DanielHibbertLawnExpert]

@@carlkrystek2679 the grace and sow pro are 5ml per m2 and steller to 2ml per m2 so on a 100m2 lawn for eg you would put 50ml grace in 50ml sow pro and 200ml of steller

I have totally been following ur advice....scarified....re seeded with jacks magic.....2 days in.....waiting !

[@stephenk4834]

I have the Hayter 41 and a cylinder. I have scarified and overseeded with Jacks magic (old formula) as per your advice for the first time . its so rich compared to top soil. Never got the Hayter down to cut at 2 but will give it a go. I've still got some grass weeds but think I will leave it for now and see how it goes. Thanks Daniel for your help.

Make sure you have a sharp blade ! Just had my cylinder back from sharpening and it makes a huge difference.

[@stephenk4834]

@@paulstaniford8622 Thanks Paul. fairly new cylinder mower so should be ok. Never cut so low with the hayter though.

[@jche8437]

Looks amazing already. You make it look so easy. I’m in a mess with my garden already I think. I’ve fed the lawn 10 days ago but haven’t got round to scarifying yet. If I scarify and seed asap will the feed kick in with existing grass and cause problems?

[@maino9752]

No problems there. Nutrients are in the soil still ready for the new grass. Go for it.

Another great video as always. When you say cut to keep the length is that cut fairly short? I scarified over seeded and used jacks magic 2 weeks ago and pretty good growth, so do I add just sow pro now? Thanks

[@DanielHibbertLawnExpert]

Cut first it it needs and if new shoots are there then yes

[@neiltucker536]

I overseeded pretty much the same day as you, but I was worried about using the rotary mower just yet. I have good growth so far but worried the mower will damage the new grass. Any recommendations?

Do you have any lawns that aren’t rye grass be good to see some ssmg or bent , rye is too easy

[@MW_1981]

Great work as always. I've over seeded my lawn and the 5 bags of Jack's Magic I used this year were awful. More twigs than anything else!

Yes they were. 50L bags from the garden centre which I'll avoid in future. The older bags are hard to find lately.

@@stevea3200 Did they say "New and improved formula" on them? Mine did and they are much worse for using on the lawn as they are full of bits of wood and twigs. The old formula was better for lawn work.

@@stevea3200 Ok thanks for checking. Perhaps the newer stuff isn't as good, or maybe I have a bad batch. There's even loads of small white stones all over my lawn now so not impressed. I'll keep my eyes peeled for the older stuff from B&Q👍

First timer here. Loving these videos. Learning so much. Didn’t know about Jacks magic. Gonna find it for my back garden next. I Used Wicks Peat free top soil for dressing a small lawn after scarify and seedling with Barenbrug sport. Would you say this Is this ok to use ? Seems ok.

Hi Danny Can you show us how to water the lawn please quantity and best time to water Thanks

[@ringsidejudge4302]

Another great video from the Master . This lawn will be outstanding in the future . I will be doing a moderate scarifying , reseed and Jacks Magic in the next couple of weeks , ordered some Grow Pro to help speed up seed and looking forward to see results . I found the Stellar BB really good especially for a poor growth area of my front lawn . Can I apply both , after the grass starts to appear , or do I apply the Stellar after the renovation when everything has thickened up . Thanks in advance .

Fantastic videos and endless tips for us lawn lovers - thank you Daniel! I’ve read various advice about letting the lawn grow longer approaching winter to protect it - do you agree with this and if so how long should it be? I’m currently cutting at 3.2cm which looks nice during spring/summer.

No dont agree, protect it from what?

[@chrisgarden3285]

Looks great! Thanks for doing your videos. I am learning a lot as you go. Can you tell me how soon after sowing you can apply a selective weed killer or iron?

[@DanielHibbertLawnExpert]

8-12 weeks weedkiller wise but best done before , why would you need to use iron on new seed?

[@gdafydd4]

Looks great! You’ve inspired me to get off my backside and sort my lawn out! I’m in a new build, so the lawn is very bumpy and has lots of bare patches. Would you recommend seeding and levelling it with 70/30 as a priority, or would it be better to seed and use compost like Jack’s Magic first to get better growth, and sort out the levels another time? Thanks.

Gotta use70:30 to level compost doesnt have these qualities

Quick question... how do I smooth my bumpy lawn due to mole hills before i put in root zone seeds and Jscks magic..

[@y9art]

Today I have scarified my front lawn, overseeded, applied Jack's magic, lightly watered and covered most of it with the fleece material. regarding your mowing routine, as I only own the battery version of your Hayter I cannot justify the purchase of a cylinder mower as well, should i initially mow at 2 and then drop it to 1 in am attempt to get the same effect as using a cylinder ?

[@DanielHibbertLawnExpert]

If you have scalped lawn you should be able to continue with the lowest setting

[@jeffjeffjeff2]

The mowers he uses have a rear roller which adds the striped effect by pressing the grass down slightly as it passes over it. The effect is kind of an illusion on your eyes as the grass is either angled away from you or towards you slightly if that makes sense

[@kevtheargonut]

I have problems with squirrels digging and dog wee patches on my lawn. I notice you have dug out hidden parts of the lawn to (I guess) cover weak patches elsewhere. What I am gonna do is grow try to turf in large 5 foot trays so I can replace patches without needing to cut chunks from my lawn at all. Perhaps this is something you may want to consider for your business to avoid the massive scarring on a customer lawn in this video when looking to graft from their existing lawn. Fingers crossed… I have no idea of this is gonna work.

Just dont grow them in compost
