[@zephirothia]

[@cachurchill76]

[@zephirothia]

[@leazeslad]

All that work for a mother-in-law! What a nice chap!

[@650GSF]

Nice job, I will be tackling my garden in the summer, it has been nothing but weeks and shrubs for 15 years, just had the biggest conifer tree I have ever seen cut down, I think the ground is going to need a lot of preparation,

[@cachurchill76]

Thank you and good luck!

[@markm6151]

Quality job mate

[@simodo11]

One quick worker ,so much hard work in laying a garden correctly

[@donaldjohnson8718]

very well put together.

[@cachurchill76]

Not all he's smashing drinking them...

[@harrypaul2718]

How thick was your layer of top soil?

[@wayneschulz30]

I enjoyed that. well done mate. Can we see you do the deck?

[@percythanoob]

When you took a little break half way through I found realistic Chris, You deserved it ;)

[@wiredawg2005]

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this vid. Great Job!!! Do happen to have an updated vid?

[@cachurchill76]

I John I'm glad you enjoyed, there is a follow up video due the end of the summer :)

[@NightScreen]

Where's part 2, where you make the deck for the side?

[@cachurchill76]

Sadly I didn't have the chance to film that... I should do a quick update, had to remove the lawn to add additional drainage. But it's coming back. :D

[@ahsanafzal3558]

NightScreen he died from exhaustion so no part 2

[@MK-po4ud]

Dash Camera Learning Hi 3 years on and your video is still inspiring DIY’ers! My lawn soil is very similar to yours, hard and rocky I was thinking of doing exactly as you have and put a load of topsoil down and then returf. After coming across this comment I want to know why you had drainage issues? And anything you would have done different given the chance? Thanks

[@Solitide]

i swear to god i have never seen anyone spray water and make a line as good as you

[@cachurchill76]

Life skills lol

[@nivid01]

PAINTING FENCES OR LAYING LAWN. WHICH ONE YOU WANT TO DO FOR THIS VIDEO? I CAME HERE TO WATCH LAYING A LAWN, BUT I SAW BUILDING GARDEN FENCES. ANYWAY, THANKS FOR LAYING THE LAWN. IT WAS A BIG JOB.

[@ShevonMill]

What were you sprinkling on the top soil?

[@andyr4735]

I love how the lady is drinking stella

[@matterpedematterpede]

Where did you get the top soil from?

[@fudgie3312]

Mate thank you so much for taking the effort to make this... I am trying to achieve the same thing in my messed up garden so my son can play... And this video is so helpful thank you What is that white powder your putting on the top soil just before laying the turf

[@taposherabeya7857]

Bet you was knackered after all of that!

[@elsowhyte6159]

what is the music that plays at 7:50

[@topturf]

Watched your video. Good job! However just an FYI with proper fertilization into the dirt...you don't need to put a layer of topsoil. :-) .

[@cachurchill76]

the garden had to be raise to the patio level and levelled :)

[@JandeJongePBPLtd]

Great work & video. Please, can I ask: What did you spread over the soil, just before laying the turf? Some fertilizer/nutrient? Which one? THX!

[@leeslimm7245]

I was going to ask this.

[@FieldyMate]

would imagine it's moisture retention crystals

[@topsydhaka]

do I need to dig the area so the new SOD level with the existing lawn?

[@cachurchill76]

As long as your base is level, some say stones are bad, I say they are good for drainage so the choice is yours. But no digging needed, level and work with what's there. Unless the level you attain from that is to high to add a good covering of top soil.

[@mrhyde2681]

Did you use all of the 2 tones of top soil? How much did it cost you for the soil ?

[@cachurchill76]

Mr Hyde I did yes but sadly can't remember how much the soil was!

[@digitalmediafan]

Oh you did'nt use any planks of wood to walk on...not that I think this matters really

[@cachurchill76]

I find that your feet can level better if you have the time. Once bedded a good heavy roller can give a more natural level to back fill with established growth for that flat under foot feeling.

[@nabjit]

nice vid very informative

[@xboxdunkster]

Go on Chris

[@frazerwho]

Hi there.....I thought your video was great and funnily enough, I will be doing the log roll edging too. Can i ask....is your lawn still good after laying and have you had any problems after doing what you done in the video. Of course, i know its hard work but the video you done makes it look manageable for a beginner ;-) Any info is appreciated....cheers mate :-)

[@cachurchill76]

It's stayed nice and level being south facing and regularly watering has kept it good

[@Stoned2072]

All alone ! 👍

[@BroFoMan]

Nice

[@redenodelnno2233]

I`II will say good job well done

[@cachurchill76]

+office of Dexter`s lawn mowing service Thanks! :)

[@josephshin5908]

very cool well done educational video haha

[@cachurchill76]

cheers :)

[@lrmwharf864]

I thought Inspector Morse was going to make an appearance with that music

[@darrenpidcock6377]

Y would you walk all over turf use boards m8

[@cachurchill76]

the bottom layer was well compressed and it's served well in a compressed state.

[@XRazorShiftyX]

Not meant to walk on newly laid grass for at least a week or stamp down on it to compress it, use boards!

[@cachurchill76]

Dean Kennedy it was fine :)

[@MultiGazman]

Yes its fine to walk on new turf, Its already established in the soil it came in! When you bought it it was on a pallet stacked many high,rolled up under pressure or flat supporting 20 times its on weight for many hours or days before it was laid,So why would walking on it be a problem? One good soaking once a week, Dont over water it, You want nice deep roots, If you water it all the time it will only grow small roots.

[@elsowhyte6159]

never mind juuust saw it in the description box ¬,¬

[@cachurchill76]

:)

[@metalcoreislife1896]

Thats too much dinkin around, just lay and roll the sod, painful to watch......but it looks amazing great job!

[@jackarentphotography9822]

Golf clap.

[@rixlee4776]

Never walk over fresh turf

[@lesliewhicker7409]

Could of found some better soundtrack music

[@chelavi]

you could have easily taken 1 minute shots, watching fence dry is painful...

[@cachurchill76]

Yes, but this was for my Wife. I left it up because people seem to enjoy it. So it's for them as well now. Sorry it was so painful. If you fin'd yourself in this educed forced pain again try taping the right arrow key, it'll skip for you 👌👍
