Suggestion... you seem to have a fairly big backyard. Instead of growing grass, convert part of the backyard into a vegetable garden, with maybe a few fruit trees. Get the whole family involved, especially kids. It will be a huge life lesson for them. You can use the grass clippings, fall leaves and kitchen scraps to make compost for your vegetable garden. Please give it a thought. Start small and expand over time. Good luck!

Our lawn used to be smooth until recently I noticed bumps. Turns out we had moles digging around causing the ground to unlevel. Got one of the solar repellents and after a couple of weeks, a good low mow without bagging up clippings eventually leveled our lawn back out. Video method would have definitely gotten our lawn leveled a lot faster and less patchy over time. Eventually our lawn filled out fully the next season. No more moles.

Former golf course superintendent here. Easier option is to just core aerate. Chop up your cores mowing low. Water thoroughly and use the roller. Holes allow your lawn to "squish" to level. Core debris fills holes nicely. Fewer steps, labor and sand is pricey. Topdressing does a better job, but it's expensive and tedious without the right tools.
@davehaggerty340515 күн бұрын
I aerated with a 5’ aerator. Sometimes dragged the cores to fill low spots. If I couldn’t pull up a 2” core I would put it off until it rained. There ain’t much dirt in a whole yard full of cores. I’d top-dress with an inch of comtill. Not much there either. It takes years to smooth a lawn that way. Aerating two times a year. I’d have loved to level lawns like this guy. One and done!

Don’t need to fertilize the seed. The seed has all the nutrients it needs to start and grow plus the soil nutrients,Fertilizing could in fact kill the seed as nitrogen is capable of burning.

Grass is a type of plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. Their appearance as a common plant was in the mid-Cretaceous period. There are 12,000 species now. [1] A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in places such as lawns and parks. Grass is usually the color green. That is because they are wind-pollinated rather than insect-pollinated, so they do not have to attract insects. Green is the best colour for photosynthesis. Grasslands such as savannah and prairie where grasses are dominant cover 40.5% of the land area of the Earth, except Greenland and Antarctica. [2] Grasses are monocotyledon herbaceous plants. They include the "grass" of the family Poaceae, which are called grass by ordinary people. This family is also called the Graminee, and includes some of the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae). [3] These three families are not very closely related, though all of them belong to clades in the order Poles. They are similar adaptations to a similar life-style. With around 780 genera and around 12,000 species, [1] the Poaceae is the fifth-largest plant family, after the Asteraceae, Orchidacee, Fabaceae and Rubia ceae. [4] The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Uses for graminoids include food (as grain, sprouted grain, shoots or rhizomes), drink (beer, whisky), pasture for livestock, thatching th atch, paper, fuel, clothing, insulation, constructio n, sports turf, basket weaving and many others. Many grasses are short, but some grasses can grow tall, such as bamboo. Plants from the grass family can grow in many places and make grasslands, including areas which are very arid or cold. There are several other plants that look similar to grass and are referred to as such, but are not members of the grass family. These plants include rushes, reeds, papyrus and water chestnut. Seagrass is a monocot in the order Alismatales. Grasses are an important food for many animals, such as deer, buffalo, cattle, mice, grasshoppers, cater pillars and many other grazers. Unlike other plants, grasses grow from the bottom, so when animals eat grass they usually do not destroy the part that grows. [5] This is a part of why the plants are successful. Without grass, soil may wash away into rivers (erosion).

@lebotnov6628 күн бұрын
Sorry, but that 'level' won't last! The reason is that you have a compacted soil topped with not-so-compacted soil, even though you roll it. You have driven across this ground repeatedly with your mower. Its weight, plus yours, is concentrated on the four small patches where your tires contact the ground, and compact it more with every pass you make. This is a LOT more weight per square inch than a roller; therefore you need to 'loosen' the existing soil first. You can do this with a rented aerator. Use only the type that removes the 'turds'. Break them up with a gas-powered mower (Electric do not have the speed or force to do this), with the back of a hard rake or you can rake them off the lawn and break them up however. A aerator pattern of 3" x 3" at the greatest depth you can is the best. This gives the maximum aeration while still leaving enough grass roots behind. Screened top soil is not necessarily the best choice. The best soil for lawn grasses is either 95% silt (clay) and 5% sand or the opposite. A soil composition of 95% sand requires an irrigation system. Yearly, a little organic material should be added. That's best to be done after aerating. Rake whichever material you have spread (Depends on what your lawn needs) into the lawn. Much of it will fall into aeration holes which delivers the product to the roots much faster. If you have no access to an aerator, you can do the tedious job of mimicking a "Slicer" (What properly equipped sports field maintainers use in addition to aeration) With a spade or, my preference, a square-point spade. Drive the spade about 6" deep and pull-back on the handle about 20-degrees. Make straight lines about 6" apart to loosen all your lawn. A "Slicer is a little bit similar to what farmers use to turn their fields, but it only lifts the soil in place. When you have finished the above is the time to add what your lawn requires for nutrients, sand/compost, peat moss, ... . If you have easy access to some earthworms, they would be beneficial to add at this time also (When you're finished working on your lawn for the day). Next you roll the yard first in one direction and then in the opposite or at 45-degrees. Then spread your grass seed and lightly rake it in (Leaf rake works best). Note: grass seed only requires 1/16" of soil on top of it. Do not roll afterwards. Such compaction will make it difficult for many of the delicate new roots to weave their way into the soil. Keep the soil moist at all times until the new grass is at least 1" tall. Note that different grass species take differeing lengths of time to sprout!!! Bluegrass typically takes 40 days on average, so you need to look at which seed is in your mix. ALWAYS use a mix, and use a mix appropriate for the conditions in your yard. DO NOT cut your lawn until the new grass is AT LEAST 3" tall. I took a course on sports field management at work which was presented by Guelph University and I worked in sports field maintenance for the City of Ottawa. Here's one other tip: If you get a lot of dandelions, it means you don't have enough calcium in your soil. Ground up egg shells is the cheapest remedy, but that will take forever. At home I use diatomaceous earth bought in large bags, from Amazon or from a farmer's co-op. How much is needed depends on your soil composition. Diatomaceous earth is also great to add to soil used for growing tomatoes. If your tomatoes suffer from bottom-end rot, this is a quick cure. In addition, it keeps most crawling insects off your plants.
