Hello beautiful place so clean lawn there watching here from hk

[@rosseauthomas2961]

I like the simplicity of your approach. Nice!👍🏽

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

Thank you! I try to keep things as simple as possible.

Great explanation by keeping it simple 👍🏽

Seriously it's so annoying. It's happened 2 times now.

[@TomJohnson-yh1sn]

Great vid… Also saw you took time to check out the dynamic duo live on youtube Friday night. You leveling is so simple. I did apply top soil a recently. Now I need to finish it off with sand. Big Thx!

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

Love those guys!

[@johnhamilton9229]

Brett your lawn is in great condition considering the sod is still relatively new. Looking forward to seeing you start the full leveling process, is that today’s fun?

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

I need to do it badly but not on the list of things to do just yet.

[@marshallhoux7987]

Need to form a possy to track down that grass assailant nobody should be able to do that to anyone's grass babies 😳😓😢😭 jokes A-side it does suck when someone does this it could've damaged Sprinkler head or line it's disrespectful thank you for showing how to fix it

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

Yeah it's frustrating but at the end of the day it's only grass and can be fixed. Thanks for watching!

[@davidhensel77]

What brand of rotator sprinkler heads do you have?

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

Rainbird 5000's

[@samuelstoltz1264]

Brett, Great job, so is your golf cart John Deere green?

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

Lol a little different color green!

[@robsolo4024]

And I guess you have to do that in the active growing season or can you do it for example I am in New York in early March or late November?

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

Yes you want to do it when your grass is actively growing. If not it will smother your lawn and you will have dead spots.

[@mariellad]

Thanks for this. At what poitn do I know to do it a second or third time, as you said in tbe video?

[@TheLawnTools]

Did somebody say something about the Right Tool??? 👀

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

No. Nobody said that.

[@Miiiiiikeyy]

Was it Allyn?

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

Lol maybe. He was suspiciously quiet about it when I told him.

[@thimitri1]

Hey bro.. how often do you fert your grass?? What are you using to keep it dark green?

[@thomashanan1996]

Would a 40” R&R leveling rake be too heavy?

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

It would work great!

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

Did you have words with the guy in the white Toyota truck that drove through your lawn? 🤔🤔 😂🤣

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

He drove off too fast.

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

@@Brettsgrasscapades well duh. Not like you could see the little guy behind the wheel anyway right? 🤣

[@Thelawncarenut]

I think I left my leveling rake at your house 😂

Dang dude that Bermuda is much darker then other Bermuda lawns if been seeing on KZbin 👍

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

Thanks George. It really is super dark but man it doesn't stripe at all.

[@matthewgross6958]

Wish Home Depot was consistent in their inventory nationwide. No leveling sand at my store….. guy looked at me like I was crazy.

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

Hmm maybe look online and see if they will ship it to your store?

[@Sig_P229]

Dont quote me but I believe USGA sand has silica. HD sells silica sand

[@LAWNLIFE]

Grass is looking good! You missing the stripes yet??

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

Dude you know that I am. Just look at the rye and it striped. I can triple cut the Bermuda and it's like nah I'm good.

[@richardharwell]

I just ordered hydretaine Today. Think I could get a "Brett's Grasscapades" sticker ? Just say yes so I can wait indefinitely..lol

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

Keep waiting. Haha I won't be there tomorrow to get one in there for ya.

[@SuperTA329]

Brett, with my KBG here in NJ is it ok to do some leveling late summer/early fall or best to wait till next spring?

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

As long as the grass is growing a lot you can do it. Fall would be fine I think.

[@andyslawncareandoutdooradv]

Large truck drove on the lawn.. could it have been Connor? 😂 Lawn looks amazing, what have you done over the last 6 months to get it to where it is now?

[@williamjohnson9727]

I know who drove across the park strip. It was that d@-n Sasquatch! 😂😂😂

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

I knew it!

[@robsolo4024]

What part of Florida are you in

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

Just south of Tampa.

[@thomashanan1996]

Why do you prefer a coarser sand over a finer grain sand for lawn leveling? Thanks…

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

Coarse sand will allow for water to pass through better and stay in place without washing out.

[@thomashanan1996]

@@Brettsgrasscapades My lawn has mud issues…. Should I try coarse sand or finer sand?

Was is it LCN? He may feel threaten by the alpha grass…

Hey.. perfect solution but they dont sell this anywhere in GA.. Amazon freakin back out of my neighbors driveway across the street and over my curb into my 5 day rain soaked yard spinning his freakin tire trying to get out.. I didnt see it but the camera caught it.. I just need couple bags.. will play sand work?

Smooth move Brett. 😂

Lol thanks Brandon!

[@joe_ferreira]

A push broom works also if you can't afford a leveling rake.

That is definitely true! I forgot to mention that!

I’ve asked several people about that leveling sand at Home Depot for the lawn. Now I need that leveling tool 😆🤘🏼 Thanks I’m so ready to level my Bermuda 🤘🏼❤️

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

It's not the most cost effective way to do a whole lawn but for small spots like I needed to do it works great.

[@Striperman]

Thanks for the tips. Looks great. I eventually have to do this if I decide to keep the present lawn.

[@trevormuggeridge4560]

Striperman, good Saturday afternoon to you mate , 9 degrees at the moment heading for 26 max today, a lot better than the 1.9 degrees minimum I had yesterday morning, the birds have thawed out and now can chirp. How is it your way today ?😎

[@Striperman]

@@trevormuggeridge4560 Good Sunday morning Trevor. Sun finally came out late today and temps at 20 degrees Celsius. Tomorrow is mow and Stim Pack day and hope the birds are chirping. Enjoy your Sunday mate.

[@Digmen1]

Hi, why do you use sand rather than top soil?

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

Several reasons: 1st being sand will not break down over time like soil will. 2nd is that I live in Florida and my soil is sandy already.

[@josephmenditto9590]

Had this happened to me this past fall but mine was much deeper. A trucker ran over sprinkler valve boxes as well as my meter box. Luckily no leaks anywhere. Cut my grass out like sod, put new boxes in and leveled them out, threw the grass back over and watered until it reestablished. But I have like a 4in dip to work with with this summer. Should be fun!

[@jasonochoada3083]

Nice video 👍 This same issue happened to me after the previous owners of the home backed the moving truck to the front door. I had great success getting under the ruts at different depths working the ground back up and relieving the compaction with a pitchfork 👍

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

That's a great idea!

[@dupang809]

lawn looks great. I have a question. . I live in Illinois and i i kbg and prg. I’m thinking about leveling my lawn with sand this fall. Do i have to reseed my lawn first and level with sand or put sand and reseed? Thanks in advance.

You can seed and level at the same time.
