Good to know about USGA sand and VERY helpful to understand the differences between the grass growth on this side of the Atlantic when compared to the USA.

[@mena94x3]

I think it might be worth mentioning that that statement only pertains to particular areas of the USA. It’s not like grass grows the same everywhere in the USA. We’ve got everything from rainforests to deserts here….

[@johnpeacocke2112]

Just a wee tip.. Your sense of `level` can be exploited as follows... Shuffle backwards across the suspected area. Your Achilles tendon will respond at the edge of the dip. Drop some sand to mark the place and keep on shufflin` along.

THE best lawn channel on the internet. Would love to know your opinion on rubber vs metal drag mats. Cheers from Australia 🍻

[@Premier_lawns_official]

I have covered that a lot on this channel, I came up with a way to make a rubber version for very little. Great if it's your lawn and you aren't topdressing that often, once or twice a year. If you are a pro or using it a lot, a metal one is the way to go as it will last a lot longer kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6W8hoCNgN6cbKs

[@rosscraddock6241]

Good work, I’d only use sand to level small lumps and bumps, if the dips are an inch plus deep then I would only use a 10mm screeded top soil. Sand is great, but it holds no nutritional value. Great job though, love the drag mat.

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Hi Ross - 100 per cent. Screened top soil is the way to go for most things

[@terrorbear7]

Extend the chain length between the mat and handle. More of the mat will be in contact with the floor, which in turn will speed up the process of brushing in.

[@davidfarrell1062]

I had to replace a 4 inch pipe going through one corner of the lawn. I filled it in and seeded it but it has settled down a 3-4 inches. Grass growth is good. Do I put sand on that or layer on topsoil every so often so not to smother the lawn. Is it too late to do that now or does it need growth so the grass is growing through the sand or topsoil which ever you recommend.

Really helpful video. My lawn has become very uneven over the years, if you can’t get hold of the sand what would be the next best thing to use for trying to level the lawn.

[@Premier_lawns_official]

David best to use screened topsoil. (Little and often is best) My lawn is build out of 70/30 (70 soil/ 30 sand) Sand is inert and doesn't hold nutrients. If you are top dressing you want to try and match what you are applying and try and keep it similar Constantly adding sand to a clay lawn will work against you. If you do it regularly it can create a barrier layer in the soil. I use the sand as it's already in the root zone...

[@superslip103]

Hey, Great job!! someone asked what kind of rake he was using, in the States we call that a lawn rake. Just one question, in the States, coming out of spring going into summer, we experience rain and humidity that often leads to fungus development in the lawn. Diseases such as brown patch, dollar spot, pythium blight, rust and others can really destroy your lawn. Do you guys have to fight these diseases. If so I would like to know how you identify and treat these funguses as my battle with them will soon start. You guys stay safe, and I'll be watching.

[@Premier_lawns_official]

We don't get those diseases here that often. The diseases that lawns get in the uk and Ireland is red thread and Fusarium. Lots of rules and regulations here for the chemicals to treat. Though shouldn't be an issue for this lawn. All the best and thanks for stopping by 😁
