Where in MD were you able to rent that top dressing machine? The spot near me doesn't carry it.

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

I haven't found one locally for rent. I'm working with Earth and Turf some content.

[@everybodyeats2267]

I was going to ask the same. I’m in PG County

[@SidneyJackson]

Dang, I'm in AACo and can get the dingo. And I got one of those compost rollers on sale a few months ago. But one of those bad boys would be great!

[@catherineagarcia7964]

Would ever consider Perennial ryegrass? The fescue is fire though! Pete with GCI is doing an experiment with rye grass to see if it will live through a tough hot summer.

@@catherineagarcia7964 I tried that with my previous home, I had renovated my backyard as a Rye Grass test during the fall. The following spring my grass was dark green and gorgeous. Unfortunately once the summer, hit it couldn’t handle it. I did water it however the sun sat mostly at the rear of my home and it couldn’t handle it. I would admit I did a so-so job with watering it, mostly in the morning I would. Now I think about it, I’ve should’ve tested with my front yard but my fescue was so gorgeous I couldn’t see myself getting rid of it.

Looking good sir. Video footage and editing is off the charts as well. We workin’! 💪

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

Appreciate it!!

[@YardManTX]

Man that back yard looking smooth as glass. Great work. Thanks for sharing.

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

Thanks 👍🏾! It's much better but I still have a decent amount of work to do.

[@lou704]

Very nice. That's professional work right there.

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

Thank you!

[@MrBBM1]

Lawn is looking amazing. I need to do this in the fall.

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

Fall is the better/safer time to do it.

1st Congrats 🍾 on your New Edition to the Family 😊. 2nd Thanks for showing Us your Lawn leveling technique. You certainly simplify the process. Truly inspiring and a incredible lawn, Sir😉👊🏾

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

Thanks, I appreciate that. This was the simplest form of my process. I will make another video with more explanation.

[@jackieburch6875]

I have been wondering what’s been up with you lately, but as always your videos are one of my favorites lawn care go to, I wish that there was more audio content explaining the whole process, but you still get 3 thumbs up!!!

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

Thanks for sticking with me, I really appreciate it. New dad over here adjusting to the new life demands/requirements. Additional detailed video will be coming but so many people have asked about my leveling process I could provide this quicker.

[@DirtygardenCA]

Lawn is looking as smooth as a pool table. We know what's coming next ✂✂let's be Reel!

Great tutorial on this simple and straightforward thank you sir

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

You are welcome! Glad it was helpful.

[@brent6924]

Lushy and I will need you to bring that machine up here this fall to MA for lime applications. Thank you Cam! 😉

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

It will make quick work of it for sure!!!

My neighbor here in Ohio had a lush lawn 3 weeks ago with tall fescue that he overseeded last year. He has had decent rainfall But just this week after some hot weather there are sporadic patches of dead fescue. What would cause this lawn to turn all of sudden?? It’s just in a few sports ….not widespread.

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

It could be a number of things but it sounds like it could be disease or local "hot spots" in the soil. It's hard to really diagnose without seeing what's going on but those would be the things that I would look into. As temps start to heat up, cool season grasses are going to start to struggle with disease pressure and heat/drought stress.

[@wat2000]

Mannn finding equipment to rent to do this feels impossible in the Richmond va area.

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

It can be tough especially depending on the time of year.

[@zacharymilos392]

Ryan knorr said in a recent vid that once you put sand down to level, you can't add soil back on top again. Is this true? I always add a little soil/compost mix in with my fall over seeds, but I recently sand leveled.

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

Knorr is correct. Once you go 100% sand you have to continue with that to avoid negative impact. If you had stuck with sand soil mix, you can continue with that.

[@zacharymilos392]

@@ElevatedLawnscapes yeah I do like a 80/20 mix. Thanks!

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

@zacharymilos392 sounds good. You should have stayed with that if that is what you prefer to go with.

[@Braze-xxx]

Great video and going all sansmd requires frequent watering during the summer months pending on what region you live in. Watering every day when it's not raining is a requirement during droughts or it will burn. That had to be a 800-1000 project with some of the rentals like dingo and top dresser etc.

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

It wasn't cheap!
