Scarifying A Thick Mossy Lawn (4k)

[@haydenwareing9405]

Great video as always Shaun. What I love about this channel is that over the few years you have been on KZbin we have seen you visit many gardens with lots of different issues. It feels me with confidence when I’m working on my own lawn being a beginner that I can come to your channel anytime and remind myself of the correct way of doing things. You inspired me to do my lawn I clean up every step of the way like you do also. Keep all your hard work I certainly appreciate all your efforts as I’m sure many others do. 👍

[@LawnRight]

Thanks Hayden. Ive seen your lawn in our Facebook group and it's too notch. Well done!

[@pauld7861]

Exactly this. He is my favourite when it comes to Lawn Channels explains well without waffling on too much and loosing your attention with Ph levels and what nonsense. I’ve got a fairly new build home with a clay boggy lawn so I’m looking forward to using his tips to help make mines lush.

Great video!! Would have been nice if the homeowner moved their vehicles for you

I'll be scarifying my lawn this week, so this is a timely video!

[@LawnRight]

Cheers Mike!

[@kennybrew7850]

I have had a Bulldog Springbok rake and a pair of their secateurs for nearly 40 years and use them regularly, a great brand and I’m going to get that leaf rake you used. Another great video and that customer needs to invest a bit more so you can bring those lawns back to life 👏👏👏

[@LawnRight]

That great to hear.. I also own a couple pairs of their secateurs on a ratchet..great tools!

Always nice to see another video.

Great job Shaun along with lots of useful tips, always learn something watching your videos, many thanks.

Thanks!

@@LawnRightis it still fine to overseed a lawn or would you say it’s to late in the year?

[@David-wh7rm]

​@@19davidwinter88only too late when it's October and temps are low. Now is perfect with good temps and lots of rain

[@19davidwinter88]

@@David-wh7rm I’m going to scarify and overseed this weekend before it comes in to October hopefully get the seed up and away before it gets to cold

[@pauld7861]

Can’t wait for a few consecutive dry days up in Glasgow going to try to a renovation on mines to get it looking good for next year. Genuinely thank you for all the tips Shaun, it’s a great watch. Customer should have went for at least an aeration on top of this too but shame they didn’t go for the Full Bhuna would have made their lawn epic for starting off next year.

[@LawnRight]

Yeah..unfortunately it's just what it is.. when we live and breathe it we know what to do and when..hey ho

[@LisaRedfern-Webb]

Great video again Shaun. What is the music playing in the background please? Very nice and chilled 👌

[@LawnRight]

Hahh you got me again! I've been adding songs to most videos recently but didnt on this. Apologies

the song is called "coming home again" by Alexander valentine. :)

Great vdo as usual here thx!! Intend to do the same with my lawns tomow given it’s the last mild day of weather for a while ( Mcr area) a low cut…scarify & tidy up before winter starts…also have a Bulldog lawn rake as great for the leaves etc…. 🤔😉👍🏻

[@LawnRight]

Well equipped and ready! Have fun!

[@Robert-p9k9o]

Well done shaun

[@LawnRight]

Thank you 🙏

[@eddiecotter7201]

Great videos and so much helpful info,you mention overseeding!is that the same as a fertilizer?thanks

[@LawnRight]

Hi.. thanks.. overseeding is putting down additional seeds to filling gaps. Fertilizing is adding grass food/nutrients to help it achieve prime health and colour

[@rickbrown7067]

Shaun we’re you able to put down some fertilizer there before the rains come in?

[@LawnRight]

Hi yes I put dow an autumn fertilizer right after the scarify

[@rickbrown7067]

@@LawnRight Hi Shaun, I’m in the Pacific Northwest with cool season grass (tall Fescue) what npk should I use. I been using 25-0-20 for the summer, and it works great.

[@LawnRight]

@@rickbrown7067 hi I'd start lowering the nitrogen a little now and a touch of phosphorous so basically a more balanced fert..sonal are roughly more equal

Great job as always! -some random chap from across the pond

[@bathams]

Have just purchased ones of these go along side my eliet 450. The sthil 540 , where do you get replacement fixed blades for these?

[@LawnRight]

Did a quick google search and found L&S Engineers do a set for under £40 www.lsengineers.co.uk/kit-genuine-stihl-oem-no-6290-007-1000.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwgsqoBhBNEiwAwe5w0_aaqU-TFKfkEb8P24ffpvXGdmTVRJAWVbbne4qkjpHPAib7uwfB0hoCOCIQAvD_BwE

[@smile24m]

what should be the lenght of the lawn after you cut it before Scarifying.

[@LawnRight]

No hard rules But shorter is better

[@dagtailgroundmaintenance]

Give the neighbour a free scarify 😅

[@LawnRight]

😯😯😯😁

[@Tisbigs]

Great video Shaun, can I ask when this reno took place, please, Aug/Sept?

[@LawnRight]

Hi literally 4 or 5 days ago

[@vashon100]

Mowing and a scarification isn't a renovation or transformation. Those terms are so inflated on YT. Soon a mowing is going to be considered a new lawn.

[@mrchips1795]

If overseeing this time of year, do you think the new grass will be strong enough to survive once the cold hits. On the fence at the moment whether to renovate my lawn or to wait till spring next year

[@LawnRight]

Definitely fine to do y9 till usually mid october..this allows 6 weeks after for it to come through... however... I'd you have shaded areas wait till spring

[@mrchips1795]

@@LawnRight thanks mate, I might give it a go then. Great channel BTW, have learned a lot from you

[@johnohalloran915]

Is itva slow release fertiliser you put on

[@LawnRight]

Hi yes when it's raining a lot.. If we go full on high nitrogen quick release it'll grow fats and will struggle to get it cut

[@johnohalloran915]

My thoughts exactly 😊

[@Ray_ray11]

Great video. I hate to see gardens open plan,or did they just not bother to put a fence up in the front?.

[@LawnRight]

Open plan unfortunately

[@SeamusFeeney-r9v]

Hi. I have the same Stihl scarifier, but what is the lowest setting you have ever used? I seem to find 2 is the best, but if you go to 4, 5 or 6 do you need to re-seed?

[@LawnRight]

Hi as the blades blunt youll find yourself going deeper sometimes to get anywhere. Generally though I'm always between 2 and 3

[@curlew58]

amazing how much stuff the scarifier takes out, did mine in the spring after watching you vids, took nearly 5 wheelie bins of moss out, wow did it make a differnce, lawn has looked the best it ever has this summer, thanks for all the vids, much appreciated.

[@LawnRight]

Thanks for your kind comment 🙏🙏

[@usables4028]

Wow, so much came out from that lawn, I am shocked :) because this looks like a fairly new house/new lawn? Btw, beautiful house, it has kerb appeal for me. I did lawn renovation last Saturday, it took me 6 hours.. Sunday and Monday I was dying 😂 I also applied nematodes. But I am not sure if I can apply any fertiliser now? Like start seed or something? I used compost as a top dressing. Last year, I used top soil.

[@LawnRight]

Hi.. you can add some preseed fertiliser if you want but if not dont sweat it Just keep it well watered 😁

[@usables4028]

@LawnRight thank you :) weather is great now, because its rainy, so it is well watered indeed 😊

[@WonPXL]

Is it too late to scarify+aerate+seed? I’m doing it all tomorrow, but am I asking for trouble? Based South East and it’s kinda mild and very rainy right now, so hopes the lawn would recover quick.

[@usables4028]

It is not. I am in Kent and done renovation last Saturday :) I feel like there is still good 2 weeks time to get it done.

[@LawnRight]

Plenty of time yet.. mid october typically my last time to do it

[@thegeordiefellwalker8878]

good stuff 👌no doubt you have plenty autumn scarifying to do 👍

[@LawnRight]

Hey matey hope.you are well...got a fair few to do.. keeps me out of trouble

[@gr328]

I usually put a little compost on even if not overseeding. I think it helps to breakdown the thatch further and it certainly increases the recovery rate. Just perhaps 1 bag for 25 m2

[@LawnRight]

Great tip! Yes makes sense.. adding organics in to provide nutrition and increase the microbes

[@rickhunter6667]

Will you do core aeration to this customer for the next days?

[@LawnRight]

No. I can only advise on best practises but it's a different ball game when folks have to pay so anything is better than nothing

[@davidmckee2898]

I thought you would have to reseed every time you scarify. And that's a good tip to put the machine on one when doing the edges cos I always get bare patches around the edges

[@LawnRight]

Thanks.. seeding is definitely advantageous for sure.. I do remember a customer years ago who simply watered heavily a very bare, heavily scarified lawn for a few weeks and it came up lovely
