Thank you for the video

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Glad you enjoyed it 👌

[@garyclapham5482]

when i want a straight edge i use the builders line AND a long plank of wood, doesnt have to be the full length of the line anything over 6 foot works, just keep moving it along the line. so much straighter and quicker as the string doesnt keep getting pushed away,

[@James-xv2ev]

Robbie - thanks for all the videos, which I find very useful. Following your tips as closely as I can, I'm just about to completely re-seed a failed lawn that I've heavily scarified and successfully de-mossed. Two questions for you: (1) Should I re-seed and then edge only when the lawn has grown, or would you typically cut your edge first to better define the lawn area and then re-seed? (2) How far in from the shadow line of surrounding tall rhododendrons should I ideally cut my edge to ensure the grass will grow (I'm using a shade friendly grass seed mix)? Many thanks James

Keeping a sharp edge over time would be good. Are the metal or plastic edge products worth using?

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Plastic tends to break. Sleepers make the best edge

[@westy1479]

Hi Robbie, scarified late September 2020, but wasn’t great, overseeded and top dressed. Grass took well but very mossy now. Would you cut high, scarify again then feed, or Overseed again? Cheers.

[@Premier_lawns_official]

That's a hard call. Best to look at why the moss is back so soon. Shade, compaction, thatch, dampness etc. Better to tackle the cause 👍

Great video, many thanks. I have recently been working on the lawn adjacent to my driveway. The drive is curved and sweeping in parts. How do I create a consistent even crisp cut on the curves. The existing lawn edge is very irregular therefore I cannot reference off the existing curve. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

New edging would be interesting to see - I've thought about trying a brick edge more than once. I'd also love another video on dealing on a lawn that's full of moss. Mine has a lot of parts that are more moss than grass and I worry scarifying won't leave much behind.

By the sounds of it it's dead where the rubble was? This video is all about how to fix small areas kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKbPhnxqgbtmoKs You could try that first. If it's a larger area then your going to have to turn the soil over and re seed or turf

Robbie, im looking to purchase a leaf blower - petrol or battery - i have a reasonable size garden plus a lot of trees. and i am about to commence a large scarify job that will need blowing up ! what machine do you recommend? it wont get really heavy use like you give but i want a powerful machine!

[@Premier_lawns_official]

We use a husqvarna 580, it's one of the most powerful blowers out there and a milwaukee M18FBL battery blower for the smaller stuff. We have used the small blower for small renovations before and it worked well.

No hate but I have never found a blower quicker or tidier than a landscaping rake on my garden. I got rid of my Honda blower because of this

[@rosscraddock6241]

@@GC987 thank you.

[@GC987]

Please can you explain in your video your remarks about it being a greens mower having 11 blades necessitating you cut lower. I understand more blades = better, closer cuts per inch/foot/cm which then means one CAN cut lower (and have a better more uniform finish at low heights), but is the converse true i.e. You CAN'T cut longer ??? I suspect (but please expand upon the technicalities) that having an 11 bladed reel mower is somewhat overkill if you are cutting at say 25mm..... one would not notice/reap the benefits, whereas to have a high quality finish at heights say below 15mm a 6 bladed machine might begin to show a wavy, undulating, washboarding effect on a short bowling green or putting type surface, where as the 11 bladed machine is the tool for that task. (Sorry I don't intend to be pedantic). I am really looking forward to seeing you take some of those lawns down to 10mm. It's a lovely looking machine. Hope to locate a groomer for it soon.

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Hi Graeme Good question. The john deere is a professional level machine that's designed to cut between around 5mm to 12mm or there abouts. The newer versions of it will go down to 2mm which is a crazy height to be cutting grass at. Think of it as a racing bike, it's designed to go fast and isn't that great going slow. It's just how it is geared. In the same respect the extra blades are there to provide a finer cut, the lower you go the more stress is put on the grass and having the extra blades gives a finer cut with less stress on the grass. But it is geared wrong to give you a good cut at longer lengths, and that's when those extra blades start working against you. Hopefully that helps explain it.

[@GC987]

@@Premier_lawns_official That's very kind of you to take the time to reply. I get it about the gearing. Perhaps in my own circumstances it's a case of all the gear and no idea !!! LOL. Looking forward to you giving us "the lowdown" this summer.
