Grass definitely makes me feel relaxed, hungry too.

You r suchhhh a great teacher! ❤ alll love fr u❤❤❤

The lawn is coming on well, great advice Shaun

I regret that I can give only click the thumbs up once per video, so here are a few extras I found 👍👍👍👍👍👍. You definitely earned my thanks!!!

Nice to see another Victa Swordsman 14”! We have the same mower and has been in the family for over 30 years (firstly was my father’s and has since been passed down to me), and it’s still going strong. The handle bar fractured with a fatigue crack last year but a friend welded it back together. I have the original instruction manual for the Victa Swordsman - more than happy to send you a copy if needed. I also created my cutting height gauge inside the body of the mower which helps set the height.

Very nice lawn and very great stripes. Keep it up . Greetings from Germany

love what you do, trying to get my lawn sorted, is really thin under a big chestnut tree, and lots of daisies.. Im cutting twice a week so will look to up that.. I did scarify and de thatch in April but the seed didnt take at all..

It's really looking good! Great advice, I'm gonna put it into practice now!

I cant wait to see how it progresses either Shaun !! Will look class. My lawn is looking not to bad being 1 year old but too many weeds so it’s getting attacked in September October time with a full renovation!! Sunny Glasgow 👍

Brilliant as always looking forward to following this end of August, not long moved in so going to leave this year and fully start the grass for the end of the year

Many great tips in 1 video. Its difficult for me to get the lawns we cut to a spectacular standard because no-one wants us to pay us twice a week to cut their lawn 😂

Looking good 👍

Great video again, I am currently stuck in hospital as has operation on my stomach, sitting here worried about my lawn and not me 😂, hoping My lawn is ok, follow every video of yours. Best lawn person around with out question

Getting it ready for our game of croquet 😊. Looking good 😎

Thank you for all the advice you've given, you've taught me so much and given me the confidence to get out and try things out. Looking forward to seeing your lawn progress in 2023!

Looks well mate. And a spring in your step too. Anyone would think you’ve just had a holiday 😄

Look at them stripes! 😎

You know you do A LOT of mowing when even the dog doesn’t flinch when you’re at it

Came on here a few weeks back Shaun, and did all the previous stated to bring the lawn together etc, top dressing , fertilizer, and compost raked out, been a slow process but has come good as you said “gotta be patient” prior to that, close cut, followed by sacrificing, [bought a little lecky job by off amazon, great job, adjustable tines, fab kit for £30 odd quid] got most or all Cauchy dead grass /moss up. So lawn still need work mate but 100 percent improvement, will be looking to add nutrients as described, cheers mate

A tip from me on adjusting a cylinder mower. tip it on its back or side. then hold a straight edge, like a short bit of wood, along the front roller and rear roller. Then you can measure the distance from this to the bottom blade. This will be your height of cut.

The greatest aid to mental health is not reading the daily mail!

👍looking fantastic Sean👍 there's 2 thumbs up for you.

I love it thick!

Looks fantastic Shaun. How often are you applying the quarter rate nitrogen to the lawn? I fully reseeded my lawn a week later than you and I’ve just been applying multimite seaweed since then. I’ve noticed it’s yellowing slightly so last week applied a 7-2-2 feed, but not noticed much of change in colour yet. Would you add more?

Get that 🪲 on the bird table!

It's amazing to think just 4 week a go It was just a patch of soil!

Hi Shaun. I have an unconnected, but sort of connected, question - and apologies in advance for the length of it! I have followed your guidance and have renovated my front garden, and I'm very pleased with the results. I recently moved into our house so the outside needs a lot of work , a large part was the front. I now have the back to do, and I was going to do the same as I did in the front i.e., scarify, over seed, apply top dressing and voila. However, the problem with my back garden is that it is very 'bitty', what I mean is that there are many little borders here, there and everywhere, plus paths, old paving and patio areas and trees/shrubs, so I do not have a solid, large piece of lawn, rather an annoyingly fragmented lawn. I need to make a patio area and I was going to take up the grass in that location and relay it elsewhere in the garden to fill in the existing open borders, paths, patios etc., so that I go back to a blank canvas of one large, square (ish) lawn, so I can then renovate it all that way, then landscape as necessary. My back garden is around 250 square metres so not small, but not massive either. But having already started work on the back garden, I have come to the conclusion that it will be a huge job to do it the way I'd planned, part of the reason being that it will essentially be impossible, or certainly really hard work, to get all of the areas I need to fill in at the correct level so that when I take up and relay the grass from the (soon to be) new patio area, the areas to be filled in match the height of the lawn around it. This is made worse by the fact that the overall area of back garden undulates, so is not one uniform height. So I have come to the conclusion that I need to do one of two things - dig/turn over the whole of the back garden (after laying the patio and paving areas) and either 1) lay new turf, or 2) seed the whole area and let it grow that way, then reapplying seed another couple of times over a few months. I believe decent turf to cover 250 square metres will be around £1,000, plus I guess I may need topsoil to cover the whole area whichever method I choose, which will probably double the cost, or possibly more. What would you do? Regardless of whether I re-turf, or re-seed, do you think I could get away with just turning over the existing lawn (weeds and all) with a tiller, or do you think either method WILL need topsoil? Any other advice? Cheers.

Coming on nicely 👍 what’s your suggestion for fertiliser now it’s warmer and less rain Sean?

Great video, what is the best sand to use for levelling a lawn?

Hello Shaun. I've recently scarified my lawn and reseeded after following your videos. Is there a moss killer I can apply on the new grass as some products suggest it should only be used on established lawns.

​@LawnRight Lawn Care what are your thoughts on a manual push cylinder mowers

Hi Shaun. I took on a task to sort out the lawn in front of our church and looking for some advice. It was so full of moss and weeds it was like a trampoline 😂. I put moss killer down which left about half the lawn bare. I decided not to put weedkiller down because I wouldn't be able to put seed down for 8 weeks. 3 weeks ago I overseeded and have varying heights of growth up to 10 cm. When can I put some weedkiller down? Great videos BTW. Thanks in advance.

Shaun I cut my front and back lawns every day using a ransomes certes greens push lawn mower with ten blades, the finish is amazing. I find the 14 inch is better for me but I do have a 16 inch also

Mulching... what's your view on mulching instead of bagging clippings? I have an Atco that's capable but have never used it. Great to see someone based in UK! 🇬🇧 New sub 👍

Lawnright, I've been watching your channel for a long time. Any problems with quakgrass in the UK? Here in the US I'm getting more of it and I'm not too sure what to do about it.

Hi, my lawn isnt too bad but in the last year ive developed a couple of isses: 1. Creeping violet steading in the lawn from one of the borders. It was self seeded and I didn't catch it in time. Any suggesations for this particular weed as store bought lawn weedkillers dont seem to be doing the job. 2. When I cut short - less than 1" (I never break the 1/3 rule and cut 3 times a week when the weather is suitable) I get browning patches. Possibly needs feeding more? 3. Ants. They seem to be meadow ants which just have excavating piles rather than true ant hills. I saw your recent vid so I'll pick up some of that Ant Gone stuff.

Great again Shaun. Looking good. I put fertilizer on yesterday. I have some seeweed in granular form miracle grow. Will that be ok to add it on or should I leave it and see how the fertilizer takes. Lawn is looking a bit brown due to the heatwave but rain is forecast next week so hoping for an improvement.

What is emerald green please do you have a link. Thanks for the vids Pal.

When you mow the lawn you remove some leaf reducing the plants ability to photosynthesise. The plant defends itself by creating new leaves, which thickens the lawn.

Can you help me? I have taken on a new build which was turfed and let to grow very tall. The grass has become stalky as a result and I cannot cut lower than my top setting otherwise it’s down to stalks. How can I get it lower? Do I just plan to cut it down and re seed?

What type of grass is that you have? The close up looks great

I like it thick yes :-)

i see you have a dog, we have had a dog now for about 6 weeks, and i now have the brown burn marks in my lawn that once look fantastic. we are putting dog rocks in his water but still nasty burn marks are showing, can i still feed my lawn or will the nitrigoen in dog pee just make it worse as lawn feed has nitrigeon in it, how do you handle the dog pee issue

When can I put sulphate iron on my grass I have put some grass seeds on about 2 weeks ago

The garden seats where are they from please? ❤

I feel like this could be a contender for 'stupid question of the week' but I have to ask. Why is the roller at the front of the Swordsman, flattening the grass before it is cut rather than at the back to stripe the lawn after the blades have been cut to height?

Sean I have a pond and empty the water from the filter onto the lawn seems to keep my lawn green is this ok Andy

Hi. How do you get rid of clover in a lawn? Have been following your videos. Have scarified, overseeded, top dressed, fed, mowed regularly. Lawn looks the best it has in years. Have got rid of all the moss but can’t get rid of the clover. Thanks

Really looking forward to seeing how this lawn progresses. Have you seen any weed grasses poking through?

Is best to cut the lawn before you apply weedol?

Nice Job! I am your new follower from Germany 😎🫡

Shaun, I'm at the point in my lawn where I'm watering three times a week in the morning for 20 minutes and cutting twice a week (for now). I can tell I've been over the lawn, just removing the tops, but there are no clippings in the mower bag. My mowing schedule is Saturday and Wednesday morning, with seaweed extract on Sunday and Thursday morning. I can't find Emerald Green in Germany, so is there a suitable substitute? Also, can I mix the weed killer (Compo Lawn Week Killer Perfect) and the seaweed extract together for one pass, or should I apply them separately? If separately and on the same day, which goes on first? With my backpack sprayer, I consistently use 12 liters of water to make two passes on my lawn.

At what rate did you apply the fertiliser per m2?

I am looking to buy your Emerald Green, Am I right in my calculations. My lawn is 200sq metres so I would need 1 Lt (2 bottles) and mix with a least 6 Lt water. I find with 10 litres of water i can walk up and down and across the lawn

Apical dominance

What's the pump spray item please. Mine's rubbish and leaks down my back!

Can you recommend a good battery mower with roller my friend

Hi mate, whats the Emerald green contain?

did you consider liquid iron in your cocktail?

I find it’s not good for my mental health at the moment 🤯 And still a show of 😂but I like it mate 😘👍

How to get rid of weeds and clover from the lawn?

4:08 is that chemical from the grass or exhaust LOL

do you think you can do a lawn care video without using any water please

why does everyone "walk" through their spray? I always hold my wand out to the side with nozzle aligned with the shaft and switch hands when i change directions. 🤔

It’s only a small lawn try cutting a lawn which is one and a half acres three times aweek plus feed and weed 😂nice lawn

You guys don’t use weed and feed granules, instead you use spray products. Is that the best option? I know granules need watering in but should I consider liquid chemicals

Come on Shaun get a straight edge, tilt the mower back and measure the height of cut with the straight edge between the rollers takes all the guesswork out of it!

Double width stripes...

Can I buy your products in the Republic of Ireland 🇮🇪

Thanks Shaun for another great vid… but your dog is now the top star … sorry mate!🤓

Can you please take the weeds out @ 2:30 😂😂 takes the look off the lawn Shaun 😬

Man, please tell me how you stop your dog killing the grass?

Looking good,can you recommend a backpack sprayer

At 70 years of age caring for my lawn doesn’t improve my mental health it makes me depressed, especially having to cope with leather jackets, POA, worm-casts and everything else nature wants to throw at me.

You would die if you saw my lawn it's so bad I don't no where I'm going wrong I just cart seem to fix it I've watched video after video but it just don't sit in my brain of what to do. my grass as turned from grass to dandelions and cats ears I think there called every day there is even more 😟 I think it's the sun in Leeds it's sending weed rays down to my lawn instead of sun rays 😂😂 Its just getting worse it's so upsetting my lawn is not big it's just a wide square im in a new build home . I live over the road from woods so dose that have anything to do with all the weeds 😂🤷🏼‍♀️I've not a clue 😭

I don't understand this video. you said that just cutting the tips of the grass makes the grass healthy. And now you are cutting it short

Baffling. You're trying to encourage lateral growth?

How often should I apply seaweed?
