Amazing Dethatch and moss removal at this old property. I could not believe how much material was removed and an impressive clean up from the DeWALT 54v Flexvolt Blower!

Definitely want the follow up, this is exactly my lawn and my garden is just having a new patio laid, next up is lawn repair.

@bennyboysutton 2 года назад

Definitely want to see you go back and do a renovation! Would be awesome to see a before and after. Plus you could educate along the way, after all most gardens in the uk look like this and a lot of people would take something away from seeing a mini series of you fixing this lawn! Keep up the great work!

@GardenLawncareGuy 2 года назад

Thanks benny boy, good feedback I hope we can do it in the autumn!

@DeuceBiggerHo Год назад

After the scarifying the lawn, instead of using the blower, have you tried runnng a petrol mower over it? I find a powerful mower can act like a vacuum for the lawn. You have to choose the right height setting (not too low). Also when using a blower, i would wear a mask. The amount of dust and bits you end up breathing in over time is not good. Enjoyed the video.

Do it before to remove thatch and debris so the seeds can make contact with the soil

How low do you recommend cutting the grass before scarifying? Some videos say as low as the mower will go. My mower goes down to 20mm

@leebarraclough2794 2 года назад

Another great video. Been following your channel for a while now. Just started a mini renovation on my lawn as compaction in places was pretty much stopping all growth. Scalped it and "scarified" using an electric Flymo lawn rake as it's all I have. Only issue I'm having is trying to aerate it. Sprinkler on for over an hour and it's still solid even after a few hours to soak through. Dug a square out to have a look and be lucky if it's soaked down an inch. Any tips? Or just let soak longer?

@JuiceBanger1 2 года назад

@lawnking6312 2 года назад

Wait till next spring to aerate

@wj17ne18 2 года назад

Buy a wetting agent, they can be an expensive chemical but will penetrate the soil and get the seed going.

Hi thanks for the video. May i ask when should i perform first scatification after seeding?thanks

@GardenLawncareGuy Год назад

Ideally you should scarify before seeding to remove thatch as preparation. If you've recently seeded you may not need to scarify until the next season if there is debris to be removed

@MrCsiko Год назад

@@GardenLawncareGuy thanks for your quick reply. I will probably do light dethatching in the spring. Do you suggest to areate the lawn in the spring or is it also to early for it?

Given we're almost into August, have I missed the window for this season or can I do it in September? I have recently bought a scarifier but I don't have a blower, can I use my mower to hoover up the thatch after scarifying instead?

@bevtooth 2 года назад

I've been in my house about 6 weeks and it's been such a struggle with my lawn at the back. We have sacrificed it about 6 or more times and there is still moss and thatch in it. Now there are bald spots where all the crap has gone. The front lawn was that bad we have removed it and are going to lay new turf. We have bought some seed to over seed the back after some more scarifying and I've watched your videos to learn about it. They are Brill. Will we need to cover the seed with top soul or will it be ok without it.

@GardenLawncareGuy 2 года назад

Thanks Bev, generally yes it will perform better if covered but you can cover with compost, peat moss or something like to feed the soil and likely be more weed free than topsoil. Topsoil is ok too just make sure it's weed free
