Regrading and seeding a residential yard

[@aaronburford5701]

Love the content, great job with grading of the ground! Liked and Subscribed! I have a passion for a great property that is graded really good. Love this video and the process. Keep them coming sir!

[@JustinBiddix]

Thanks! I recently got a Harley rake for the skid steer and it is a must have for finish grading a yard. It does excellent and preps the ground for seed. I’ll have to do a video on it

[@aaronburford5701]

@@JustinBiddix yes please do, love the rake, box blades, land levelers anything that can make the ground perfect after grading! It is instant gratification! I will like and share that content as well!

0:36 I have only watched the first 30 seconds so far, but I’m giving it a thumbs up because you told me to give it a thumbs down.

[@yassirc3681]

No results? How did the grass turn out?

[@imejandiskate]

Can you confirm that you can do this to any lawn? Like cool season Kentucky? I had no Idea you could regrade like this without pulling up all the old grass and basically starting over. If I can just cut it super short, aerate the hell out of it, add topsoil / compost and re-seed I will call it a day and rent a mini skid for my 1000sf lawn.

If you dnt like it give it a thumbs down...come on Bro,you do too good of work for that!!!👍 Great work!

[@JustinBiddix]

Thanks!

[@johnathonuncapher7523]

what is the green stand-on piece of equipment?

[@JustinBiddix]

It’s a aereator. The better equipment to use is a Harley rake. But I didn’t have one at the time

[@johnathonuncapher7523]

@@JustinBiddix thanks. Gonna try my hand at a full lawn renovation. Uneven, humps, dips, holes, very little grass, a whole lot of blackberries and weeds. Going to spray, scrape and dispose of blackberry patches, rough grade, then probably spread topsoil. Then sod. Maybe I won't need a harley rake or aerator since I'm going all new topsoil.

[@chrisstepp3114]

How many ton of dirt is each truck load?

[@JustinBiddix]

18 tons

[@JustinBiddix]

I have learned if you do something like this it is best to go ahead and use a harley rake on the skid steer to assist in grading and properly prepping the dirt to accept seed.

[@stevedebraeckelaer4006]

Good job!

[@JustinBiddix]

Thanks!

[@baronwolfgang9368]

👍

[@Baseball-wj1tf]

Good job, but is isn’t necessarily needed to aerate. Still a great job done!

[@JustinBiddix]

Thanks! I wanted to aerate because the soil packed down hard. It would have been better to run a Harley rake over it.

[@waltercp49]

Where you located at? Need some work done myself

[@JustinBiddix]

in South GA right now. This was in NC

[@JCIK2311]

Any pics of the final result?

[@JustinBiddix]

I did not get any final result pics. If I were to do this again, I would rent a harley rake for the skid steer. It would have been faster and easier and higher quality. Just my hindsight thoughts...

[@rontopping2048]

Soil looks like red clay

[@Cameron-ik9op]

What was the green stand up equipment called

[@JustinBiddix]

Lawn aerator or core plugger. That particular one is a Ryan brand

[@Cameron-ik9op]

Thank you

[@maconha22]

How much did the project cost?

[@craig4926]

probably in the 3500-6000$ range

[@JustinBiddix]

I think it was around $5000

[@michaelbacile8439]

I’m going to need this eventually on my property. Everyone keeps telling me I have to totally kill the grass/weeds I have before regrading and sodding. I really just want to fix the grade and sod over it. Thoughts or advice?

[@JustinBiddix]

Killing the grass would yield higher quality results. But if you get a thick enough layer of dirt on top say probably at least 3 inches you should be fine without killing the grass

[@joncooper107]

What did a job like that cost?

[@JustinBiddix]

I think it was about $5000 ish

[@JustinBiddix]

Probably be more now because the price of seed and fertilizer has increase substantially

[@RussellD11]

Is this legal when the whole neighborhood floods and you raise your lot ? lol

[@JustinBiddix]

Oh yeah. 100%

[@rustyfan89]

that topsoil looks like crap, big chunks of sod and who knows what elsei would almost guarentee weed seeds as well.final job looks good not saying anything about the work just an observation.at least the first load anyway

[@randerodr7389]

Use cc. So of us can't hear well.

[@randerodr7389]

Never mind. Wouldn't have mattered. Not useful at all.

[@julianbautista2666]

very poor

Thanks!
