Enjoyed meeting you on the beach in Barbados. Have a great lawn care season!

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Hey Gary, lovely meeting you guys. Barbados seems like so long ago haha! You guys will be just starting to warm up now in Canada too ☀

[@garytitmarsh7519]

Just finished dethatching the lawn. Planning on overseeding with perennial ryegrass after scarifying beginning of September. You should have told me you are a KZbin ⭐️! Continued success!

[@Premier_lawns_official]

@garytitmarsh7519 haha at the star ⭐🤣🤣

[@OCDLawncare]

Teamwork makes the dream work Good video guys. Very informative 👍

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Appreciate it! 💪

[@LRSTFJ]

Scarifying and dethatching are not the same thing at all. People use the descriptions incorrectly because of videos like this and people in lawn Facebooks using the terms incorrectly. There is a reason the cartridges are different and one has blades and the other spring tines.

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Thanks for your feedback

[@kenmay1572]

I have purchased all the gear/stuff I just want some warmer weather to get started, it's too darn cold in the UK currently

[@davel831]

Now Boys you need a nice cup of tea! 😀Great video s ever hopefully now dry we can all crack on with our lawns. Jason unloading the van with a slight smirk lol

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Keeping it light hearted 👌

[@davel831]

@@Premier_lawns_official keep up the great work

[@Premier_lawns_official]

@@davel831 thanks Dave!

[@douglarson1902]

Thanks for all the great videos. I recently purchased an electric dethatcher/scarifier. I have sprinkler heads for my irrigation system throughout my yard. Can I run the dethatcher and/or scarifier over them without damaging them? Or should I mark them with a flag and direct the machine around them? Thanks in advance!

[@Premier_lawns_official]

I would definitely recommend trying to avoid them. The flag sounds like a great idea 👍

[@cretene1]

if overseeding then fixed blades, otherwise i use springtine one

[@mikehbomb69]

Same👍🏻

[@juliasimpkin9095]

Hi Robbie, I am planning on reseeding 3 lawns, what is the difference in root zone which is made up of a blend of 70% USGA ( graded washed silica sand) and 30% high quality soil ( heat treatment to 200 degree celcius and screened over a 3mm square mesh) and Top dressing made up of a blend of 70% specially selected sports sand 30% graded top soil (heated and screened over a 3mm square mesh), which one is more appropriate Root zone or Top Dressing for a complete lawn renovation.

[@demacherius1]

So which one is better now and for what usecase? I usually scarifi in spring and fall and dethatch 1 or 2 times during the summer depending on Poa Annua.

[@Premier_lawns_official]

I prefer fixed blades

[@paulhopkins686]

I have not seen your channel for a couple of years. Your photography is fantastic now. Well done 👏

[@Smit2088]

What fertiliser should I be using this time of year?

[@timmywoods5349]

Hi Robbie, at what height below the ground are you scarifying at here?

[@heatherjolly8389]

Great camera work today

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Thanks 😊

[@edwardo1988]

Robbie can you recommend a good electric or plug in scarifier to buy in Republic of Ireland. I have a lot of moss to get rid off

[@monkeymandee5030]

Hey Robbie my front lawn is absolutely covered in moss and thatch but still good grass growth if kept moist but whenever any heat hits it just burns up any tips other than sacifyijg until the autumn like as a temporary solution for the summer

[@damianmclernon6064]

Robbie, who in the North would do the Eliet scarifier?

[@jefffleet5724]

Great video again 👍👍

[@adamhills4855]

Hi, I've just brought the elite 401 and was wondering what settings you set it on depth wise regards a deep scarification to a light scarification? Many thanks Adam

[@Premier_lawns_official]

It depends... This video will help kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3eQdoR4erSZr6ssi=BwiFxxiFcqXejlVm

[@Timmy51m]

So here's a question for you Robbie. Putting lawn treatments down immediately after cutting, yes or no? The bag says no, but in the real world most guys do it otherwise they'd have to make more visits, and then there's the weather.

[@Premier_lawns_official]

It depends on the product really. It's to wide a question to answer

I don’t know what to do after this video…. Go mow the lawn …. Or go out raving

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Go raving 🕺💃🪩

[@thedj5914]

Go out raving sounds a better idea to me 😂😂

[@DickDastardly4]

Robbie, how does overseeding fit in with iron? I scarified and then put on iron but not sure when to overseed or if I need to do anything further before adding seed? Thanks
