Great channel with useful information. One thing to mention though when spreading Gypsum as often as you do you should wear a mask. Gypsum is carcinogenic when it's inhaled. So much so that farmers have to carry out risk assessments for wind etc when. Spreading. It's also generally recommended to wet it down after to push it into the ground and keep it out of the air as much as possible (obviously your wetting at the end anyway just thought it worth a mention)

Hi mate, loved the video well presented and edited. As a fellow tradesmen the information you give in over seeding is spot on. Like you said when you walk away it's down to the customer to maintain the watering for the seed to germinate and then once fully germinate regularly feeding through the growing period at least once/ twice a month then the main key to thicken up the lawn is regularly cutting minimum of once a week ideally but only taking off small amounts each time that will allow the grass blade still to photosynthesis and stimulating branching. If the lawn is left to grow to long then cut short straight away then your putting the grass into an energy negative (recovery mode). People who want a nice lawn and think by over seeding or laying new turf that's what they will get remember that's just part one of the step, its the regularly maintenance afterwards then you will start seeing the results. The more you can put into it the more you will get out of it as they say, wise words. Looking forward to seeing your next video. Keep up the good work👍

I've watched this along with another video of yours from 2 years back renovating a lawn. I'm in the process of doing this, and I'm getting to the point of overseeing and top dressing. I'm just wondering how long I have to leave it when done. I've got two crazy, active dogs that would have no respect for the top dressing. 😀

[@LawnRight]

Eeek .. Honestly it'll take between 3 days and 2 weeks till most new grasses are poking through assuming multiple daily waterings but they'll be so fragile at this stage and really you'll need to try and avoid it as much as possible for a good month other than mowing.. And all during this time continuing with multiple daily waterings.. Then after that ideally minimising use as it'll take another few weeks more to start establishing properly. I appreciate this isn't what you want to hear but it's what's best for the lawn.. Unless you can wait till autumn you might want to get some temporary fencing

[@ohmegroin]

I'm thinking that fencing might be my only option. I've already aerated it. The watering will be no problem, I'm on the west coast of Ireland, so plenty of rain. Thanks for the reply.

Great video. I wonder what you think about the pregerminating of grass seeds in a bucket, that I've seen a few videos for, to save having to water the whole lawn. Although it does mean it can be a bit more difficult to sow the seeds if they're not dried out first...

[@actiondefence]

Hey, found your channel today and have been enjoying your content and learned a fair bit too already. I've got a. area of "lawn" (yeah right, I wish) which is in the shade for most of the day, getting only a few hours of direct sun in the evenings in the summertime. Maybe 5 hours at most. Consequently, I've never had any success getting lawn there. It is now a small but desolate wasteland of failure..😢 I had the bright idea this year (after battling it for about 15 years or so) to widen the pathway next to it and widen out the flower bed opposite and bring them almost together, thus no longer having to look at that barren monstrosity. I've got plants which seem to grow ok in that shady flowerbed so I could spread them out, split up some big Iris plants etc to take up the space. So my question, have I simply just not been trying the right things and in reality if it is done right, there would be no reason to not be able to grow nice grass there? Or is my plan to re landscape the better option in this situation? Thanks in advance

[@LawnRight]

Hi some grasses are designed for shady areas.. You can go online and search for shaded grass seed.. May have tall fescue in etc.. But even so grass needs a minimum of 3 hours a day of direct sunlight to be at full health so usually shady areas will still thin to varying degrees.. By all means give some a go and see if you can improve lighting

When applying compost is it always multi purpose or are the results better if you use a better quality dressing. It really confuses me. There are so many options it seems. Would a sandy loam work?

[@daveraatz1328]

My 2 cents. Grass seed is good the year you buy it and then through the next spring. That's it! If you have any remaining give it away or willy-nilly throw it on any lawn because it will soon be just something to put in the trash.

Hi im a beginner, and I have a question. How long after top dressing the lawn can I cut the grass? and how long after top dressing can I apply more fertiliser. Thank you in advance

Hi you want to wait as long as possible to cut the grass.. Once it starts to come through give it 3 weeks if you can.. If you applied fert when seeding give it a good 6 weeks before any more is applied. I'd still wait a good 4 or 5 weeks otherwise

0:44 with a name like 'mind your own business' I thought you were telling us off for wondering what you were talking to the owner about. Until I actually googled it 🤣

[@LawnRight]

Ha ha lol.. I know I have to be careful how I tell customers!

[@kevinrayner4701]

Don't know what lawns been like mines never been as water logged as this year normally this time of year starting to dry out but boom heavy rain back to water logged just waiting for a dry spell before I start first part of my renovations

[@LawnRight]

It's been horrendous hasn't it

[@kevinrayner4701]

@LawnRight frustrating for home gardening never mind a business

[@Y0UTUBEADMIN]

Most clay soils are not sodic, so gypsum will not improve their structure or drainage. Gypsum is also not effective at changing soil pH When gypsum is appropriate, it is usually broadcast on the soil surface at rates of 2.5-10 t/ha, with higher rates used for heavy clay soils. Incorporation into the top 10 cm is recommended. Application should be done well in advance of the growing season to allow the gypsum time to dissolve and take effect In summary, gypsum can be a useful amendment for sodic clay soils, but it is not a universal solution for all clay soils. Testing the soil to determine its properties is advisable before applying gypsum

Im thinking of going the fake grass route as my grass is just dandelions and moss 🙈

You don’t use the camon aerator much How come? The classen is a great machine though Just wondering

[@LawnRight]

Hi.. I'm a little lazy.. The Camon has been in storage at the far end of the garden and the classes was much closer 😁.. However I have literally just used it on a job Friday which will be on the channel soon

he should make a flowerbed in the middle of the lawn.

[@stevelanghorn1407]

And to think my new neighbour has recently ripped-out all the beautiful, mature flowering shrubs in his garden…with resultant mass-destruction / disturbance of birds’ nests and Hedgehogs etc. And tells me he’s “putting a lawn down” on the now empty space…(and I quote)…”Because a lawn’s LOW MAINTENANCE” !

[@LawnRight]

😔

[@stevenaldus6326]

Where’s the Sthil scarifier?

[@LawnRight]

It's back in action now.. I had to change blades.. Did that then the handle dropped and snapped the height adjuster so had to buy that and fix it lol

[@bilpat5123]

That roller looks like something out of Flintstones 😂😂. Thanka for the tips, great video

[@LawnRight]

Ha ha. It was a very generous freebie from a customer 🤣

[@betterlawns4u]

I wouldn't of done it in that order personally. Think I would of cut short first, scarified, aerated, gypsum, seed, top dressed and finally fleeced it. But that's not to say your way is wrong. Just a bit different to mine that's all. The end result will be the same I guess. It's just how we get there differs

[@Boyleman100]

Your way was exactly how I did it at the weekend, apart from the gypsum 👍

[@theveryfirst]

I need flocculation. I will buy some gypsum.

[@LawnRight]

😁

[@LawnRight]

Apply every month or other month as a thin amount and within 18 months it will be so much better

[@Torawari]

Gypsum destroy the soil not good it hardens ot

[@jeaninebowdry2045]

Yeah, simple... but expensive. Especially when you have over 10,000 sq. ft. But, nice yard.

[@LawnRight]

Yeah it's definitely more expensive the bigger the lawn

[@theunknownprojects6159]

Here we go again 😅

[@LawnRight]

Oooh yeah

Get a thicker lawn is easy just move to Ireland 😂.

No disrespect of course because your videos are ace, but that compost spreader looks a load of rubbish…you are better using the back of the rake and,it’s not cumbersome like the silly compost spreader…..

[@thewinner3163]

11 simple steps, lol. why not 50 simple steps?

[@LawnRight]

I couldn't think of 50 things 😜😜
