[@jasonfisher9134]

Just a quick thank you for content. I am doing 2500 sq ft coastal southern Cali and of all the content i have watched your is the most relatable

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

I appreciate that 🙏🏾! I'm glad the content is relatable and helpful.

[@davidcaughman4044]

Thank you for a great review ! You were positive the whole time and I appreciate that form of video. Your lawn looks great !

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed the review.

[@soupy01833]

that is a nice piece of equipment wish i had one when i was leveling

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

It is nice. If topdressing was apart of my business, I would definitely have one of these no questions asked.

[@robturner7853]

Looks like you were really "gettin in to it " @ 9:36 . Those 👀 were FOCUSED !! Got my Cool Blue from Pete and been prepping since last week.. Broke out the lawn sweeper after cutting it all down . Not as hot but man this humidity is horrible lol.. "WE RENOVATING"💯

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

Time to renovate! Get after it!

[@cameronandersonsr]

Peace Cam, love the video. I may need to rent that after my renovation this Fall. I need major grading on my lawns.

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

It does make a difference for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@BlakWiseCracker]

Looks phenomenal 🙌

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

It really is.

[@HedgeMaster26]

I'm thinking of renting one these to level my back lawn. Tons of lumps and bumps that make it hard to walk on but don't want to injure my back shoveling sand/dirt mix. lol. This thing seems like a live saver for a top dress application.

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

Go for it! It is hands down worth the money for the rental. Your back with thank you for months! Thanks for watching!

[@tburda823]

Your lawn looks fantastic. I'll be looking for one of these available for rent near me so I can start getting my lawn nice and flat.

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

Thanks. Sounds like a good plan.

[@stephenjones6084]

@ElevatedLawnscapes How do you level out a tall fescue lawn that has imperfections of the smoothness of the dirt, and to help with drainage? Would a 70% compost/sand mix help with this? Would you do just a 0.25" over time? USGA sand be best? Thanks!

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

I have never worked with fixing drainage issues. I have seen golf courses use aeration and then working the sand into those holes to improve drainage. Have a video that showed how I did some leveling on my lawn a couple videos ago. If you are not seeding I would go with small layers over time. USGA is best if you can find and afford it but it's not necessary. It's up to you if you want to go with a mixture of sand/compost, it's a good option. Whatever you decide to go with, stick with it going forward.

[@greghuizen]

What was your height of cut when top dressing? Also, when you say leveling is it mostly just small bumps? I dont see how an evenly spread layer would level bigger dips.

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

HOC was 1.25" and has been there every since early spring. Larger dips were addressed independently, then applied multiple passes of even layers to address overall small bumps.

7 days ago I spread compost on my lawn in the Asheville NC area and overseeded it with GCI Turf type tall fescue (from your link) and Tuckahoe Farms Kentucky Bluegrass seeds. I’ve been watering it frequently and lightly to keep the seeds moist. Now I’m noticing 3 to 5 inch white circles on the compost. I think it is actinomycetes from the compost. Is this something I should be concerned about hurting my lawn? Should I treat it with fungicide(s)? If so which fungicides? I've just changed my watering to less run time and also the last run time of the day has been moved to earlier in the day so it won't be so wet all night. Thank you in advance for your advice.

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

I am not familiar with the scenario that you have currently. This is one of the reasons that I am hesitant to bring in outside soils/compost. I would say you have done what I would do, which is cut back on the water slighly but still keeping the seed moist. Then, I would wait to see if the grass blades are actually affected by it.

[@lisao9677]

@@ElevatedLawnscapes Thanks for your reply. If I must apply a fungicide I plan on using Azoystrobin 2SC at 0.38 oz per 1,000 and Propiconazole at 2.0 oz per 1,000. In your opinion will this be okay to use on my seedlings? I contacted my extension office which ran my pics through an app and it came back as powdery mildew. But the only way to know for sure is to send off a sample which takes 3 weeks. Comparing to pics online I still think it is a filamentous bacteria called actinomycetes which is typical in compost piles. Thanks again for your time. I really enjoy your channel.

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

@lisao9677 I would back down the Propiconazole rate on the young seedlings. Also, I recommend making sure you have identified the disease on the actual grass plant to make sure you are applying the correct fungicides to address the issue. If the grass plants are not being affected, I would not apply fungicide. With all the moisture during seeding sometimes you get things growing on the soil surface but they do not affect the actual grass plants.

Hi Cam, I just spoke with a young Lady Cris. I got my order in and should arrive by tomorrow but I’m betting on Wednesday for latest. Thank You so much 😊. I can’t believe it 😁😁. Getting your cultivar seeds. A beautiful way to start my day. Have a Blessed day Sir😉👊🏾

[@ginovolta6122]

Sir I have a question. How tall do you keep your fescue lawn? Thank you.

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

My backyard is at 1.25" this season.

[@ginovolta6122]

@@ElevatedLawnscapes Ok thank you. I am going to level my backyard out this year with topsoil and sand. I usually keep mine at 3 1/2”. But I may try keeping it low. Thanks again.

[@dlandes14]

Hey man, i know you've dealt with pythium before. I'm pretty certain i have some now in my little bentgrass plot I've been messing with in the easement behind my yard. It's crazy how bad it's gotten so quickly despite trying to stay ahead of disease with propiconazole and azoxy. I've since learned that mefenoxam is really the best thing. My question is, can i put the mefenoxam down, aerate, heavy dethatch, sand topdress and still try to get an overseed in at this point here in Ohio? Or do i need to just chalk this season up as a loss and start on fixing it next spring?

[@dlandes14]

I'm just wondering if the pythium will affect the overseed. Don't want to waste seed, time and effort

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

Propiconazole and azoxy does nothing for Pythium. Get the disease under control before seeding. You still have some time to seed but the window is closing day by day.

[@dlandes14]

@ElevatedLawnscapes yeah just purchased my mefenoxam. Is one full rate app generally sufficient in stopping the disease where it's at? I was going to put down a full rate app, give things a few days to settle, then go ahead with the overseed/ repair. I don't think I have the time to wait 2 more weeks for a 2nd app.

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

It all depends on your weather conditions and how advanced the disease is. It may take more than 1 app. The mefenoxam will not bother the seed but the consistent moisture will the conditions that favor the pythium disease.

[@jared5267]

I’m in Illinois, cool season grass. This will be first year I will level and overseed, should I level now or level when I overseed in October?

[@rlt1975]

October is usually too late to overseed. When is your first frost usually?

[@jared5267]

@@rlt1975probably November

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

With you in Illinois you need to get going very soon sir and get that seed in the ground in early September at the latest. Your seed should be in the ground 45-60 days before your first frost. Quick Google search says Oct 1-15 for your first frost date.

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

Yeah, October is a late for that area. That is southern transition zone seeding timing like North Carolina South Carolina area.

Hello, have you ever experienced smart irrigation controllers? Your account content is excellent. If you are interested in smart irrigation and want to experience a more relaxed way of watering, we can send you samples for trial. You only need to provide the most realistic usage experience.

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

I do currently use a smart controller.

[@Kathy0118]

@@ElevatedLawnscapes Yes I know, but our controller also has some exclusive features that other controllers don't have, I think maybe you will be interested in them, if your irrigation is not over yet, you can try our products and compare to choose the one that is more suitable for you😊

Ya I’m def just gonna safe $1M and use a shovel. No thanks

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

To each is their own, it's your choice to make. If I can afford it, I choose efficiency. If you are a homeowner with one yard, renting would be more cost effective option as with other heavy equipment use. Thanks for watching

​@@ElevatedLawnscapes I have a big lawn, I'd love to have something like this or the eco

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

@buster7618 it would make since for a large yard! I haven't used the eco yet but this thing is a champ especially when you do not have to walk behind it.
