How To Renovate Larger Lawns

This lawn was huge. We ended up using 75 bags of compost to dress the lawn at the end.
This was a brand new customer. I wanted it to go as well as possible (like all our lawns), and so I had to have faith in our pricing structure which has taken us years to get right. If I had gotten this wrong we could have been out of pocket.
Thankfully I was spot on!

Thats my average lawn renovation! Feel my pain Shaun! 2 or 3 or 4 days of physical work, 1 day of equipment maintenance, 1000 to 2000 lbs of debris. Love every minute of it!! Cheers.

@jbock2753 Месяц назад

I've made a deal with a local robin. He sits and watches me scarify and aerate, then I go and make some lunch and leave him to have his fill of bugs for his dinner and moss for his nest. In return he seems to leave the seeds alone.😂 I swear the same one keeps coming back every year. If i stick my garden fork in the ground he will actually sit on the handle and watch me work.

You work very hard Shaun, just like my Husband Neill with his mobile valeting business. You both do very physical work. Ask your Wife to go with you occasionally and do the Admin, such as answering your phone, managing your diary, she would enjoy watching you and supporting you 😉 I do this for Neill occasionally. Could your foot pain possibly be Plantar Fasciitis? Xx

@LawnRight Месяц назад

Ive asked her many times but she's not a fan of cold weather so Im still working on her :). Thanks Lisa :). Im not sure its plantar fasciitis looking at the symptoms.. I reckon ive just overdone things over the last few weeks, hoping so

@jon8583 26 дней назад

I did an over seed and top dress today. I used Miracle Gro all purpose compost in a roller but it was SOOO fiborous that only about 70% comes out of the roller. What brand do you use and would it be better to use top soil instead? Also a crazy idea, why not mix the seed into soil in the compost roller so you do two steps in one? And even more crazy, you could pre germinate the seed and mix with soil in the compost spread, do you reckon this could work? Perhaps the next video for you!?!?!

@LawnRight 26 дней назад

Hi I reckon all of those could work.. Ive just never done it, but may do one day :). I discuss compost options here lawnright.co.uk/compost

@a760541 Месяц назад

You know they buried the last two gardners in that white mausoleum at the far end. You're only doing seasonal work there. Can you imagine the weekly cutting on that - even with a 120cm wide ride-on cut you're looking a a hr or so. Sheep! - go for the green option

Nice project, Shaun and Charlie! I have lots of supervision from a couple of blackbirds when I work in my yard. Sometimes I have to be careful not to step on them while they are collecting the worms.

@LawnRight Месяц назад

Thanks Mike! I always seem to get twice as many the minute the seed bag is opened :)

@markdixon3632 Месяц назад

Good morning Shaun hope all is well, I reseeded my lawn a week.. well just some patch work.. we had quite a bit of rain. Will the seeds still germinate. Done it last Tuesday and no show of any new grass seeds just of yet.. look forward to your reply.. thanks

@LawnRight Месяц назад

Hi Mark I'd give it another couple of weeks yet before making any decisions.. Usually it's a week when the weather is nice sunny and warm.. While it's been cold it can take 3 weeks or os to start coming through then another couple to fill in 😊👍

@Thimeri0n Месяц назад

Hey Shaun, the compost/top dresser, is that yours or do you hire it in, if so where from? (I'm fairly local to you and am really not relishing the idea of overseeding 450m2 of lawn over the next few weeks) :D

@LawnRight Месяц назад

Hi .. Mine was from gardenimpoprts (www.gardenimports.co.uk/product/landzie-lawn-level-36/?ref=566) - its not the cheapest but its pretty robust. There are some a lot cheaper now on amazon amzn.to/4bj5Rsu. but Ive not used those so can't vouch for them... try to enjoy the work when it comes round :)

@duncanstuart4034 Месяц назад

Hi Shaun, I also live in Doncaster and have a lot of green waste. Would you share the farm that took your waste away as I am struggling to find anywhere local, and the recycling sites don't take commercial waste. Thanks in advance Shaun 👍

@LawnRight Месяц назад

Yes, absolutely it's Brier Hills Recycling at Hatfield. A full van around £10 or £15

Hi m8 can I seed without over dressing ?

@LawnRight Месяц назад

Hi you can.. But birds will get some seeds, and heavy rain or wind can move some around.. Try and rake it in.. Or use a roller to firm it in or both

@OMK-_-96 Месяц назад

Watching this makes me want to renovate my own lawn. Would it be too difficult to hand scarify a lawn half that size with a wolf garten scarifier. I'm not sure about investing £150 into a budget scarifier as I might probably only use it once. If I buy the scarifier head maybe I'll buy a few other heads for breaking up soil in the garden

@LawnRight Месяц назад

Hi ill be honest it's doable but will need a tonne of patience. I wouldn't fancy it myself.. You will probably be able to hire a professional scarifier for a similar price if it's a on off and it'll be so much faster. £67 to hire on this website www.wekanhire.org/tool-plant-hire/gardening-equipment/

@thesmithsfamily1901 Месяц назад

Hi Shaun, obviously there is a lot of money in labour and materials in a big lawn renovation like this. If their is a dry spell is the onus on the customer to ensure the renovation is watered regularly as advised by yourself, or is this your responsibility too?

@LawnRight Месяц назад

Hi it's the owners responsibility. I'm very much matter of fact when I explain how much is needed. If they don't water enough I won't fix it free.. Problem is what they say and do are 2 different things.

@thesmithsfamily1901 Месяц назад

@@LawnRight Ha ha, yeh I bet it is! It takes a fair bit of commitment to have a gleaming lawn. However, if I was investing the amount to do this job, I'd need to be fully committed and be available to water as required! Great job mate! Thanks for replying.
