I helped make ground level prior to seeding by dragging around an extra large pallet, followed by raking, treading down, pallet levelling. We did this a few times and it's lovely and level now with lush grass. It was an allotment patch before!

I was a plasterer and roughcaster for many years, I'm from Perthshire in Scotland, and we always just used local quarry sand that was used by us and the brickies, then I moved to London and experienced disasters trying to just use building sand. It's so full of clay there, and they sell "platering sand" separately, which is just washed sand that is really coarse, l hated it, it was a real learning curve, but long story short: I'm back in Perthshire, and our local building sand is fine for lawns...

I considered making my own lute from a pallet, but in the end I managed to reduce the size of the pallet (why oh why did I start with the biggest and heaviest pallet?!) and dragged that around. I still got reasonable results using some fine topsoil mixed with grass seed. I could not find any USGA sand!

I have that compost spreader and it works amazing, because it's for compost not sand, that top dressing of sand would never work in any compost spreader, chuck a dry bag of compost in it and they are a great tool to have, you use far less compost so it pays for itself in the long run and puts just the right amount of soil in the lawn

Looking well Robbie, looking fitter lately! Jason must be keeping you on your toes since joining!! Quick observation, this is all well & good for smaller lawns, but very difficult & costly to work with a 1 acre lawn. The weather has caused some serious ‘bumpage’ over the winter & it’s looking like it needs a complete re-do at a cost of about €5k! 😩

Guys, Great video, good banter. I have recently taken over a 1000 sqm lawn which has been mown historically with a mulching mower. There is significant thatch and therefore bounce. Due to weather last year I never achieved a low enough cut to scarify. We are there now, I was going to spring Tine it then cut again, then treat it with a weed and feed. I’m not sure to then use the blade scarifier….. thoughts?

With the levelling lutes, what width would you recommend? Garden approx 40-50sqm. 50cm, 80cm or 100cam? Does a larger lute make it easier and give better results, or does it just make it quicker for larger lawns?

What if you have decent sized hollows? Do you fill them with topsoil and seeds? Or do multiple small passes in the year?
@Farming-Technology
@Farming-Technology Месяц назад
You can only really dress out about 2 inches per time. Either method you suggest is acceptable. But the seed should be the same as the rest of your lawn if you dig, topsoil and seed as the grass may have a different shade/ texture. Just bare that in mind if it will bother you.

You don't top dress with sand! You use top dressing soil, using sand will damage the blades of the mower. You only top dress the likes of a bowling green for a better playing surface. The avarge lawn is about 50 square metres 90% of people would not have the tools or could even afford to buy the tools. If the lawn is not level it was not laid properly. Another way to level then lawn is to lift the turf and add soil to level it
