RENOVATE Your LAWN Following These EASY Steps 

Nice job will look great. Ordered 40 bags arriving on Wednesday. Scalped lawn this evening. Going to be knackered 😂

Great video as usual Dan and thank you for sharing your knowledge mate

This video is what makes RU-vid beautiful. Passionate people sharing great videos. 👍👍

Qualcast 35 cylinder mower, I have had mine for at least 20 years, still a great mower, last forever if you look after them, great video

Great video Dan, I’m waiting on the weather to turn for the good so I can crack on with mine. We’ve had none stop rain down south and my lawn hasn’t had a chance to dry out and I can’t bring myself to bring out the scarifier in case I cause more damage. Never know if I can get away with scarifying this time of the year with all the rain 🤷‍♀️

Great to see a professional doing things well. Scalped and scarified my lawn a month ago, did the feed and seed all over two weeks ago and oversown thin patches with seed and top dressed them this morning. I am in West Midlands with a really difficult lawn in total shade all the time at one end and baking sun at the other. It is still a bit cool here in the mornings, but the grass has really started growing now in teh last fortnight and going to get feed and care all summer. Now I just have to get the nematodes sorted to kill the leatherjackets.

Fantastic video. Thanks Dan.

It was great and relaxing to watch. I'm still waiting for the weather to get better. We had hail again today. Maybe I'll get a chance to start my lawn work this weekend.

Watching a master at work

FINALLY a video thats gone viral, ❤ WELL DONE Dan…!! Keep up the good work, you deserve all the success, x

Good stuff as always!! For some reason I particularly like this lawn the best! What a beautiful day for it!

I know nothing about gardening or ground work but sat through this mesmerised .

Lovely to mention your Mum mate! She’d be very proud of the education you’re spreading! 👏❤️

Brilliant Dan ,love the scarifying, get it looking like the moon ,only way to go !

You the man Dan! 🙂👍

Looking forward to seeing the results.

I’ll forward this onto my gardener .

Many Thanks

Danny, looking at you in your bobble hat at 7 mins into this video reminded so much of the concrete little fellow who lives under a tree at the bottom of my garden. Classic. 😂😂🌈👍

Excellent video

It was a nice day in Chorley today mate. I've been in the garden all day.

I’m in Florida with warm season grass and still watch and learn watchinging your videos. Thank you.

Nice Dan, same ending twice as well ;)

This palm in the background is nice :]

Nice to see someone who knows what they are talking about. I have question and a problem. Q) What is the purpose of the fleece ? Problem: Tried so many ways to get rid of thatch over the past two seasons and failed . Now the grass hardly grows at all. So frustrating that now I am even willing to let meadow grass grow !

An interesting and informative video - thank you for sharing it with us. Please may I ask, when you scalped the lawn what height was the mower set at?

Nice work Daniel, I feel ashamed when I look at my grass now🤣👍

Great videos Daniel - shame you arent close to us as I would 100% be booking you. As it stands it looks like I will have to attend our lawn myself as I have lost faith in our local lawn guys (they just want to sell chemicals) Before I start on our lawn I would like to know what depth of soil do you need to help establish a healthy lawn. I know we have 50 year old builders rubble and yellow builders sand under our lawn and I don't want to waste my time if we are compromised from day one. We also have a TPO on a beech tree where the roots are certainly under our lawn.

First watch Dan and found this very informative AND humourous!

I'm SE Canada much farther south compared to you but it seems to be a similar climate to you. That's a good point about disease if you mix together a lot of seed. I've done that thinking it gives it more of a chance since it seems like only 1% of the seed grows. I bought a SunJoe scarifier and it's made a big difference in only one season. Top dress is hard to find in my region compost by the bag would bankrupt me even for my 20'x20' yard.

"Get home in time for tea..." Brother, you are the best, thank you for your videos. I don't think us Yankees will ever be as great at lawn care as you Brits are, but maybe some day. Thank you for leading the way!

I've just had our small area of lawn turfed. What should be the after are moving forward thank-you

When is Allett going to sponsor you and get you a Stirling? You've got to be their best brand ambassador out there.

Hey Dan - Australian GP this weekend!

your Chanel is amazing

Hi Dan, really useful video, going to be doing the same in the next few weeks myself, out of interest, at what point would you put your cylinder on the new grass? Do you let it get to a certain height then knock down with the rotary, or would you just go straight in with the cylinder?

Thank you Daniel I’ve just ordered seed from your eBay account

Another little picked up Dan use the rake instead of the rotary to gather the thatch so you don’t squash the scarifier grooves. It’s these little buggy of knowledge you only get on Dans channel. Thanks Dan for giving us guidance

Love the vids keep up the good work 👍 was also wondering could you put a slow release fertiliser under the sheet ?

Great video , only just getting into caring for my lawn , is there a reason i cant find videos on daisy removal ? my lawn is mpre daisy than grass 😂i dont want to use chemicals , but is it just dig out and fill?

Can't wait to see results of this one good work. Roll on aus GP ,, who you rooting for .

Yet another great video Dan. Thank you for taking the time to run us through your processes. Have you ever used or considered using the Barenbrug RPR seed? I was looking in to using it to try and keep a check on the annual meadowgrass in my lawn but it's quite pricey. Thanks.

Spot of video 👌, you say the bags of no4 do 9sqm(ish) do you know how much the bulk bags cover by any chance? The small are in ltr but the bulk in kgs TIA

Cracking video i dread to think the cost of that job

Stumbled across the video just browsing RU-vid, enjoyed every minute, what a nice fella and very much a perfectionist. Can't wait to see the result of your hard word. Subscribed. Many Thanks. 😁👍 Ps lovely backing music.

Nice to the rounded sound of a Lancashire accent on RU-vid.

Hey-up Dan ! love the vids mate..so I'm gona be doing a bit of work on my lawn soon... you use a fertiliser for a top dressing..where will I get that stuff and what seed can you recommend ? It's sort of a decretive lawn , gets no wear other than me walking on it to mow it. Cheers Dan !! Keep up the good work mate !!

'For when the king get's coronated or whatever it is' 🤣

Another great video. Our lawn is a real mess, dogs not helping either as they've taken a liking to licking the bare soil on the bare patches which are now getting bigger. For reasons of cost and convenience, what would be the outcome if I use graded BS top soil?

Another great video and agree "only the best" forks for the lawn! Any thoughts on how bad a lawn needs to be to completely re-lay? My elderly neighbour's lawn is laid on a bed of sand (years ago probably when built in '66) there's virtually no soil or grass in it! I've heavily scarified it n fed - it's 25sqm. Would lots of aeration and top soil before overseeding make a difference or does it just need ripping up n starting again?

Hi Dan, I just finished my first ever lawn reno before finding your channel. I may have made some mistakes such as using peat moss instead of compost to cover up after seeding. Do you think the peat will cause any major issues (some suggest it may lead to compacted soil in the future)? Enjoying your content!

Flat head screw driver under the roots whilst pulling the plant from the base works very well and rarely removes the surrounding turf grass. This fork method seems a bit destructive.

San, have you produced a video showing the start of the lawn process when a hard edge is laid. I csn see that all your lawns have, I think, a timber edge. I'm going to redo my kawn so any guidance would be welcome

Hi Dan. I’m about to do these 4 steps to my garden in Cheshire. Which seed would you recommend. I have quite a few bald patches this year and shaded areas. Also. How do you work out the volume of field no4. I know my area size. But what coverage do you allow. ? 1 cm? You seem to rake it over the seed in an even thin layer ?

Another awesome video Dan I only have 2 kg of seed left over from last year that I bought off you I'll have to get onto your eBay store and order another 5kg What was your approx seed sow rate per M2 of lawn on this job ? I was thinking about 50g ??

Videos are excellent. I need to say that's a good idea with those trees for privacy . What are they and is that some kind of frame on the trees ?

When are you coming to Bury to sort my lawns out?? They are in need of your expertise 😀

I was looking at your wetting agent. It says it covers between 250 and 1000 metres is this useful to put on the lawn in the hot weather before watering to help the grass take in water and can you put it down with a liquid lawn feed at the same time

The King will appreciate it... Elvis loved a well turned out lawn... 😏

Hi. What grass seed do you recommend please. I've seen luxury lawn seed in Wilkos. Would that be OK?

Can you show us the difference between a scarify and a scalper please

this is manageable only with such a tiny lawn as this, but good job:)

Maybe the soil has now compacted to much in those corners where the waters layed. Happens every year in one corner of my lawn even will a soak away dug three feet from it. The soil (clay) has now settled to a hard pack and every spring I have to get the fork in and lift the soil bed up breaking it up under the surface has been working so far but don't want to be at that forever.

Hi Daniel, great video! I've just moved to a new house and a quarter of the lawn is covered in weeds and weed grasses. Should I just scalp and scarify, or dig the whole section out and level it with sand/compost mixture?

Check the top of fence posts around the property mate. Crows will pinch your balls thinking they're eggs and take them away to try and crack them. One the farm we were always finding lost balls on the top of the large strainer posts.

Hi Dan… is there an affordable hollow tine machine my garden is not big enough to justify the £2600 one on the market. My lawn has a clay subsoil so the manual fork type would take me weeks. Any suggestions

I too would suggest using a compost roller; but you mentioned the stuff would fall out; but that's part of the idea. Once you got going, it will give an even coat. Just go at a leisurely pace. I think you'll be impressed.

Daniel, thanks for a brilliant video. Do you have any advice on how to match the grass seed to your existing lawn?

How long do you leave the horticulture fleece down for?

Wow. That's a lot of work. How long does it last before you have to repeat this process? Thanks

Dan if I put some proctors granular lawn feed down . How long should I wait until I cut the lawn again Fair bit of rain around at the moment . Planning on leaving it 1 week . Is that to soon or be fine ?

Another excellent video Dan - always enjoy your spring updates. Quick question - any reason why you did not use Jacks Magic? You usually advocate using it for Lawn renovations.

Another top video Dan.. I see the extreme is sold out on your site..Been looking at getting the Barenbrug Sport Extreme from elsewhere. Is it the same as u use or not. If not when will you be getting more stock.. Cheers Bud. Keep up the great work 👍

Do you rate those Landzie top spreaders? x

Hi Daniel - I live in Bedfordshire which has one of the lowest rain fall records in the country - which drought resistant seed would you recommend for over-seeding ? How soon after applying Rise and Shine can I over-seed. Keep up the great work !!

Any one know where I can get topdressing like this in the South of Ireland 🇮🇪

ive been doing it all wrong ha ha. thanks dan

Great video as always. Sorry if I missed it, how much top dressing do you use? Ie how many m2 does one bag of compost do?

Hi Daniel what is the folky music you always play in background. Apple Music is so useless since it changed it gave me about 6 different songs none of them is right. PS Content great by the way really informative

Hi Daniel. Is it necessary this time of year to apply a wetting agent?

Hi Dan. I think I have leatherjackets as my patio is full of them after I put iron sulphate down. What can I do to stop them destroying my lawn

On your Berthoud sprayer, what setting do you have set on yours? 1 to 5. Thanks

Would it be worth fleecing a fully shaded lawn or would that be counter productive?

Do you come to Walsall west midlands

Hi Dan is it best to dig out weed grasses before scarifying & would you use the fork method you use or a spade

What a great video, thank you. But please can you tell me why do you cover the lawn with textile? Is it necessary or one can do without it? And would cow fertiliser be good for lawn instead of chemical one?

You make this look so easy. Great video. No Jacks Magic this year?

Good morning, I am a complete novice and I have a lawn full of moss and all manner of weed for which I intend using moss and weed killer. Is this the correct approach for really poor lawns? Thank you. Charles

Does the topdressing not mess up the seed spread?

I like watching these vids and I try to keep a decent lawn myself. Thrown some cash on the ground in the past. But, with the current cost of living and looking at the size of the houses, I think I'm correct in saying that it's a certain level of clientele who can still afford to have someone spend 5 hours working on the grass.

How long do keep the fleece on for from when you put it down thanks

When would you add the sow pro

Will you follow up after some weeks? It would be nice to see the end result

Does scalping not wreck your blades on the cylinder mower?

If I overseeded 6 months ago, is it okay to scalp the lawn or is it not mature enough yet?

Which wetting agent do you use Daniel? Cheers

Any ideas how the meadow grass is getting in .. birds ??? I've the same issues

How long do you leave the fleece on for.?

Is the first task the scarifying or a mower set really low ?

Just a quick question, how long do you keep the fleece over the grass for ?
