I love the way you explain things in a clear and simple way. I've been a self-employed gardener for just 18 months and your videos have improved my knowledge and confidence to try new tasks. I have been asked to level lawns several times but, because I've never done one, I've shied away from it. I have a customer who wants me to quote on levelling her sons lawn, which is why I watched this particular video. Many thanks big man.

Keep finding these damn videos that already have a nice lawn started. I have an acre that’s been neglected for decades i have ankle breaking holes and lumps. Idk if they had a dog digging holes or what i even found old square post holes. I also have a leech field so no large tractors or land movers. Think this lawn is going to take several seasons to fix.

I'm curious about bumps in the lawn that are higher than most of the lawn. A lot of spots could be leveled out but then there's still higher bumpy spots that need to come down. I don't want to level up to those high bumps. My lawn is so bumpy it's going to take a lot of soil i don't even want to think what that's going to cost.....!

I hope you’re still making videos. I just found your channel with this video. Previous owners of our home had dogs that absolutely wrecked the back lawn. I’m hoping next year we can get sprinklers but I wanna learn all I can!! Should I work on fixing the lawn AFTER sprinklers? It’s not a huge amount of property but it’s not small either. So for our area sprinklers are necessary to keep the lawn healthy

1: Urine is a very good and free lawn fertilizer. I saw it particularly when a hose broke on my urine spreader. A couple weeks later it looked like our tall grass was three times higher than the rest and a very dark green colour, so diluting it is key. 2: If you have more of a meadow type lawn where you want ho preserve the biodiversity you can remove the top layer, fill in underneath and roll the top layer back. Or fill with very thin layers of soil over several years.

I’ve followed pretty much all of your videos and gone from what looked like corn stubble to a deep green, soft lawn. Now I’ve gone down the rabbit hole of lawncare, I’m seeing how bumpy my lawn is. My question is; it seems in my case that it would be less work to “cut off” the tops of bumps rather that fill in the rest of the lawn. Is this something that can be done?

Any advice on best time of year to do this? I’m in east of England. Assume early spring when grass will be growing vigorously?

After the frosts have passed, you can do it the entire way through the summer and into the autumn too assuming that there isn't a hose pipe ban

Another thing to do, especially if you plan to re-sod your lawn, or otherwise replace it, is to tear out all the grass, mulch it all, and then take the bare ground and level it out by spreading the existing soil evenly (while accounting the need for good drainage). Shouldn't need as much soil, unless it's just a really bad lot to begin with and you have to add a lot just to get a good slope to prevent flooding. Then put down whatever you want for your ground-cover/lawn, and should be all good. I'm not a fan of patch jobs or "mods". If I'm going to do something, I'm going to do it from scratch, most likely...and do it very carefully. If I'm going to spend any amount of time or effort on something, I'm going to make sure it gets done right the first time. I HATE (vilolently so) repeating tasks.

That's what I was wondering! Cause I have a ALL BUMPY garden, and if I used this method in the video for all and each bumps, I would die of age, cause it would be such a long process and also pricey, adding a very big amount of new soil! If is a matter of one or maximum 2 bumps then I would go for this method, but for a very uneven garden ground is not the best solution I believe...Am I right?

That's good for you and probably the right way to go. I'm new at this so I'm thinking about doing just sections at a time i.e. backyard, side, front yard. And repeat like every year until it's all good

Interesting find - the accent is a good exercise for this American ear. I find it a bit curious, your leveling is only filling - do you not dig out obvious high spots ? Well done, thank you.

@Premier_lawns_official 11 ай бұрын
You never know what will be down there, it's easier to go up than dig down. Yes it takes a bit more material, but it's just easy and easier often makes for cheaper in the long run too I have English subtitles on all my videos, as not everyone can understand my broad Northern Irish accent.

Hi, this might not be the right platform to ask this question, but here goes. My garden is really uneven, I want even it up as cheaply as possible(it currently has patchy grass), I can get hold of fresh horse manure, can I just throw that on and keep leveling it, or will burn the growing grass?
@Premier_lawns_official
@Premier_lawns_official 2 жыл бұрын
Horse manure won't do it. Chances are it will burn the lawn. But that's not the main reason for NOT using it. Horse manure will break down over time and your lawn won't get any more level, it may end up worse if anything
