I also had a panick attack when driving on the highway and have struggled to do long journeys or sit in traffic ever since ! Refreshing to hear you’re doing better now. I have slowly gotten better, still a working progress but getting there ! Professional help is always a vehicle for getting better. Thanks for sharing and love the videos.
The wife is asking why I'm giggling watching a lawn care video. Brilliant cheers Daniel😂
Briliant , love the ad-hoc talk about footy , driving to to away games mixed in with brilliant lawn care tuition . Thank you Dan ❤
I have learned so much, Daniel, and apply that knowledge to my own lawn and some others that I have the privilege of working. Thank you!
These videos are really great. I ve learned so much that has helped with my small garden maintenance round. Sincere thanks,really enjoy the vids. Good ol Boy.
Glad to help
What a beautiful garden.
Yeah they put alot of work in i cant take any credit other than the work i showed
Hoping to do the same process tomorrow if the weather holds up 🤞. Enjoy your hols!
Thanks very much for your inspiration Daniel. Having followed you for some time I plucked up the courage to put your advice to use and reset one of my front lawns. Ten tonnes of topsoil later and an underestimated amount of work later I now have a beautiful rye grass lawn. I used Barenbrug extreme which I bought from your site. The seedlings were up in 14 days and took the fleece off. I mowed every day and I am chuffed. Not bad given the conditions we face way up north in Orkney. Enjoy your break Dan ThanQ
Well done, its easy once the hardwork is done
Great video thank you Daniel - can't wait to see how it looks in a few weeks time. Happy holidays to you 😀👍👍
Im nervous incase it an epic fail lol
Can't wait to see the after video. These videos make me want to do my whole lawn lol
I’ve got all those weeds you mentioned plus ‘self heal’ the bees love it. Lucky to have spotted orchids too.
Bees are good
That’s got a nice layout.
No idea how I got to watch this, my daughter was at Burton as well, great that you are working on the driving keep going there are some great Bolton away trips to be had I always have a blast when I go with her and I am a life long spurs fan 😊
I noticed on my two visits went in april aswell, unless burton score they (the fans) dont make any noise what so ever
A very nice garden 👍👍👍
I never thought, I’d see the day, that DH has an Aeration spot on his video 🤣🤣🤣
Well done on the driving btw 💯👊
Does he not like aeration
Love a bit of comedy in your vids. Hope you get away on flights on time presuming you are leaving the UK.
always a good laugh and im not even british :) 'i hope they let me go home one day' 🤣
Hi Danny, thanks for being a gentleman regarding an online order from your shop. On a side note, I bought a scarifier made by Einhell, it’s very similar to yours and all metal, works well. Might be an option if ye old faithful eventually packs up on you.
P. J 👍🏼
Me? A gentleman? Must have me confused with someone else??
i used to have that lateral growth ,its gone now thanks to watching your video's.
Good to know!! Least i helped one person lol
Lovely English garden with that babbling brook running thru it…looks v nice & good job there doing the full Monty on it as I’m sure it will look “reet” as they say. I recently used my Screwfix electric scarifier/ lawn raker & was impressed…not bad for £65…pulled loads of thatch out. Funny ending & have a good hols..unless stuck at Mcr aport?!?🤔😉😎👍🏻
Everything still on course for flying so no probs i think
I have seen this for the first time on lawn care,
I would love a lawn to be in a fraction of this condition.but have so many weeds in it including stinging nettles ,i just cant get rid of them.hopefully i can find a cure.i am 60yrs old and cant move very well.but this vidio has given me the bug again to try again.thankyou.
Just need a answer to the weed problem.
Finally a lawn that looks like mine after scarification!!! Mine's not flat either. Lovely garden tho 👌 my grass has struggled this year pal, yellow and patchy all year....any thoughts? Too much rain? Great channel 👏 👍 👌
Hard to say without seeing, thats why i have the group so you can upload
20 years! ❤
Only got into lawncare since I started watching your videos about 8mths ago, as I was so impressed with the lawns you do, I decided it is time to get my own lawns looking beautiful. I have been working on my back lawn all day today, and certainly feeling the aches and pains now. I have a manual cheap push along scarifier on wheels, that I push and pull using the long handle, hard work, would be so much easier with a petrol or electric one, but funny thing you mentioning yarrow, I found out today my back lawn is covered with it, it really is invasive, some of the roots are so deep, and then the rhizones spread right across my lawn. Started digging some of the deep roots up in places from the yarrow, but found some go down as deep as about 8". I plan on reseeding my back and front lawns, but worried now that when I do, this yarrow is going to come back, as there is no way I can get every root up. I sprayed the whole lawn with strong glyphosate concentrate also about a month ago (360g/l), it made the leaves of the yarrow go a little paler, but has done nothing to the deep roots. I honestly think this yarrow in lawns is a nightmare, my own fault for neglect over the years of just mowing it, and not acting back then to try and control it, and stop it spreading, so I would advise anyone that gets yarrow in their lawns, act quickly to get rid of it, if you dont, it will spread like crazy and be a nightmare to then try and dig up due to the length and depth of the roots😥
Congrats on the longest ever received message! Keep up the good work
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert 🤣🤣🤣🤣will try to keep them shorter next time, but at least my message gave you a book to read before bed🤣🤣🤣enjoy your well deserved holiday.
Damn 360g/l is a lot
@@brub5174 yeah most are 76g/l, but for really tough weeds, products like Gallup etc do a 360g/l glyphosate, turns out it does not barely touch yarrow, a killer containing 2.4-D is needed for yarrow.
That is a top tier garden !!
Any chance of an update of what it turns out like ?
As always
A stream ! If I had that through my garden I would be looking at a water turbines with batteries and an inverter 😎👍🏽
Good idea lol
Informative and entertaining, live in Alberta. Huge difference in climates, frost down to 6 feet for over half the year, can’t get your products here ,trying to sort that out and find similar items here, removed 2 huge spruce trees , never had a lawn in the yard .Bit of a fight to get the lawn level(roots must be breaking down/low spots) fighting quack grass ;
Yeah dont think i could make a living in the states its another world over there, would ryegrass just perish? What grasses survive that kind of cold weather?
Ryegrass, Bluegrass, Fescues, all do well . Bloody hard to renovate, small window in early spring and then wait till first of August . Now awaiting first frost , put down some heavy nitrogen soon hoping for a boost next spring
Hi Dan, the weed i have a problem with Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) the whole street have it from what I have seen. I have double dug the front lawn and was still finding the roots embedded into the clay. How would you deal with it please?
Hi Daniel - have you had a look at the Hyundai scarifier - HYSC210. Any good? (I have one, but won't be offended if you say it's bobbins). Great vids by the way.
I put thrust on yarrow couple weeks ago (2,4-D and dicamba mix) and it's all shrivelled up now Weedol didn't do out last year, I also mixed in some active-g (water conditioner for waxy stubborn plants) and a wetting agent
Ill take note of that
Hey Dan,
Im addicted to the videos ... How much gap should you keep from the edges so the lawnmower cuts right to the edge and so you dont have to use a strimmer?
Its upto you, more gap more weeding i guess lol
Hi Murfy, if you’re going to edge your lawn with bricks or slabs etc, then measure the distance from the edge of your mower cutting blade (if it’s rotary mower turn the blade so its tip is nearest the edge of the mower) to the outside edge of your mower wheels. That measurement is the minimum gap width you’ll need. You could of course add an extra inch to your measurements if you wish.
Thanks for the great content. Question, how do you deal with the thatch afterwards? I've found that it doesn't really break down in the compost. Any tips?
Goes in the green bin which the council collect or on this occasion went in a skip
Non lawn related Dan - I think we’re all in for an odd season looking at the table so far. I’m a Pompey fan and if we could stop drawing games we’d be ok. Pretty tight at the top!! ⚽️ Play Up Pompey
Yeah you will be up there, you in previous get to like top 10 then just cant find whatever you need to go that next step further
Same every season Pal. I think we’re both thankful that our clubs are still going 👍
I've just done a heavy scarify with good success but I have part of the lawn that remains very spongy underfoot presumably due to a localised very thick layer of thatch. |what would be your suggestion to tackle this problem?
Hi Dan, if you had to guess, what do you think that grass species is at 17:51, bent, fescue? I’ve got something very similar in my front lawn. Thanks
Too coarse to be those i wouldnt like to guess
If you were to recommend either a drop or rotary spreader for all purposes (seeding, fertiliser etc.) what would you suggest? Thanks 🙂
Rotary more versatile, drop only good for square/rectangle lawns
Daniel when you speed up your video you need to change up your music to maybe AcDc or something like. Really get into the groove lol.
No can do , would be in copyright breach cant use any music like that only whats free on imovie
Thanks for your info Dan. I am confused though, why no seed/soil on this one? It's confusing me now. Thanks so much
Coz it not that kinda job and its so coarse it will recover on its own
😂 nice of him to let you finally go home 👍
Great Video - ANy recommendations for a scarifer, ideally budget as i am a begineer?
Join the facebook group and ask in there they are more qualified
Latin lessons for the day.
Love your videos. I’m in the US ( Minnesota) to be exact. I love English gardens, English football (Liverpool) and my rye grass.
I obviously can’t get the same products you use and you always call them by name. If you could can you break down exactly what products you are spraying or putting down? Or explain what the composition of the products you’re applying are?
Keep up that fantastic sense of humor.
Alrighty then
Just type danniel hibbert Lawn care in Google, that's takes you to his shop all the products he uses are on there.
Hi Daniel. My lawns are terrible. The opposite to the lawns you show on YT. Biggest problem I can see is really hard clay soil. In your opinion, can I do anything with it, or do I need to have it all dug up and replaced. Quite big lawns, so I imagine quite expensive to replace it all. Any advice would be appreciated...
..lots of yarrow too😢
Daniel, got the scarifier, got Jacks Magic Compost, small front lawn is looking good, but long and spongy.
Should I, dare I skin it now!!!!?????
Just a Mountfield Princess rotary mower though, which is great for the stripes..
Umpires call
Going down the leg side - I'm going for it next week!
A bit late for the back lawn - I skinned that yesterday!
Very impressive memory that Dan lol
Ask me what i had for breakfast, useless lol
Hi Dan, I’ve reseeded my lawn 2 weeks ago. Some of the grass seeds are a good 3 inches high, some of still coming through. Should I cut the lawn? Or wait till all the seeds are fully grown? Thanks
Cut for sure , never let the grass that has come through suffer because the others ain’t come through
Hi Daniel if you overseed as I have on my lawn, how soon can you mow and can you mow no.2 when you do? It was refreshing to hear you talk about motorway panic attack as I have suffered the exact same experience 20+ years ago and still occasionally feel uncomfortable on motorways, irrational nonsense, it takes guts to face your fears head on , good on ya. Hypnotherapy sounds interesting have thought about it but never tried, maybe!
Mate you have to do it, if your in northwest then nigel spears is the man hes the most qualified up here, took about 10 sessions and i never ever went in the 3rd lane in my life before him n after you couldnt keep me out the 3rd lane, even did 4 lanes on m6 on saturday which is big
Good to know my issue was being trapped on motorway ie claustrophobia until next exit etc hated it but better now. Am down south east so shall have to seek local hypnotist.
You didn’t answer my mowing question 😂😂
@@neilbelcher3577 sorry when the existing grass needs cutting cut it
Wouldn't dare do that at this time of year. I'm reticent at the start of spring to do it with the wire scarifier nevermind the bladed.
Fortune favours the brave
Omg lol!!!!!! That was funny hearing my name in that video. Fab video. Looking forward to seeing it next time.
Enjoy your holiday. ❤

I was right though wasnt i??
Omg yes. Absolutely crazy. Sellers who didn’t want to sell 😂😂😂😂
Is the Autumn punch available on your website?
Great channel just wondering why you don’t use a blower when clearing up after scarifying
Too heavy today so wouldnt of worked
Class as usual pal👌
I was offered one of those scarifiers, needs a belt replacement. Will forward ypu the guys details if you need? In Rainhill
I am good but thanks for the offer
Started with a good joke. I almost laughed.
Owners saying oooh let’s see the video of the chap that did our garden 💩💩💩🤕
@daniel have you got any barenburg extreme in stock yet?
Yeah its in mate
O my gawd! I spotted some weeds in my lawn! Call 911 ! Call an ambulance! And fetch my heart medicine ! Help!
Going to use my recently purchased Aldi scarifier, is it ok just to go straight on with it, or should I cut abit of grass height off first. Many thanks 👍
Cut grass first
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert Thank you 👍🏻
I bought a scarifier (electric) just over 2 weeks ago, tried it and cried it😢, but trusted the process and now the lawn is better than ever👌👌
What happened to the test plot thing you started in spring? One video and nothing since!
Its coming but weather was drought then rain so been documenting but its come back twice so its just had its 3rd round up last week
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpertsweet 👋👋👋 looking forward to it
Hi Daniel - Yet again another brilliant video mate, very informative. Is there any reason you use the rake and not the lawnmower to pick up the cuttings? My guess is you would be emptying the lawnmower all the time, mind you my lawn is nothing like the size of this one. Secondly do you ever use a hollow tine fork, cannot remember ever seeing you use one? Regards Chris
The first question i clarify in the video so always make sure you watch from start to finish as you have obviously missed the aeration part of the video. Just imagine how brill the vid will be when you watch it all

In response to your reply I certainly did not mean to offend you in the slightest. In 1988 I suffered a severe beating where both offenders were arrested for attempted murder. I thought I had put this all behind me until recently when I had what I would call a minor nervous breakdown which sadly led to other things. I was recently diagnosed with Complex PTSD as a result of the assault and this includes all manner of issues one of them being severe depression and in my case very poor memory retention. I love gardening and especially the care of lawns which you would not think if you looked at mine. It cheers me up and helps me relax, so when I get a reply like that you can imagine how much it sets me back. I have watched all your videos from start to finish and loved them all up till now, yours being my favourite channel. So again apologies for upsetting you and i will never bother you again.
@@Chris-hw3yy all in jest mate dont take it to heart
Did you ever do a follow up video on this one?
No not yet going to do one soon
New subscriber here! Why do you use the blades on your scarifier instead of the tine cartridge? I’ve always gone for the tines but not for any other reason than they were already fitted in the machine. Just curious.
Gets into the soil and deeper the tines just graze the surface
Cheers Daniel.@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert
Is it bad to scarifier perpendicular to the previous pass? I notice you always go like a 45 degree instead of 90 degree
What can I put of clover in my garden? Ideally granular as I don't have a sprayer, if I need to buy a sprayer then so be it. But any help much appreciated! 😘😘
Just one of them 3 in 1 products i guess
What’s happened to the Allett scarifier ?
Do you sell the autumn punch as can’t see any on your shop?
Not yet middle of next week
That garden is phenomenal. Proper english country garden. Can you scarify and scalp any lawn to bring it back, or is it important to know what type of grass it is first?
Any lawn like this yeah no problem
Well done with the long drive 👍🏻, you could have dropped your car it mine to walk down to the ground. Have a much deserved Holiday, enjoy 😎☀️🍹 🍺
Oh right didnt know you was that way? Pulled up at club car park with my mate in the van and said i was chief scout for bolton wanderers and he said to his colleague cheif scout bolton wanderers and he starts checking his sheets lol i couldnt keep straight face so had to come clean
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert I live over the back ( behind the Arnold Clark garage, you most likely would have passed.
@@leefenton9477 yes we saw that as commented on it
When mixing sand soil for leveling 70/30 is it by volume or weight?
Weight
Is it worth power raking more frequently between scarifying?
Should I buy a power raker?
Is this irfan near the airport?
Question for you Dan, I have a bluebird aerator that has the option for delta blades. Can I use the delta blades in the middle of summer to pull out the old growth to let the lawn breath?
Did you see my segment on aeration?
Not familiar with delta blades? Are they like mine?
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert yes spaced about two and half centimetres apart and angled down like a triangle but without tip .
Will watch the aeration video.
Hi Dan. What nozzle do you use on you backpack sprayer?
Its a white flat fan, (DO NOT BUY OFF EBAY)
Thanks!
Hi Dan
I verti cut mine last week and granular fed after. It looked very much like this lawn - so did you put seed on ? Only I am concerned that some areas might not grow back 🙈
No i didnt in the end will see in a few week if i should of done but im convinced it will come back this year no problem
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert will it be watered ? If so how often ?
@@ianreader4919 just by rain, in the 20 seasons i been there it has never been watered with a hose
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert ok however I live in London and we have a long warm dry spell, so would you water ?
Slight change of subject, where do you buy you gloves and are they waterproof, thanks.
No not waterproof but they dry out quick, just never put them on the radiator to dry, theres a link to them on my website under recommended products.
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert thank you for your response.
I'm sure you say why in some of your videos but I am wondering why you don't cut the grass before scarifying?
Not that important on jobs like this it will get mowed once and thats enough ,
"Number 2" seems to be your favoured setting for the rotary. Do you reckon this setting gives the optimum height for most rye grass lawns?
At the beginning yes but you will always up on 3, they need a 2.5
Thanks. In your experience, are most lawn mower manufacturer's settings very similar? In other words, a 2 on a Hayter is equivalent to a 2 on a Honda or Mountfield etc?@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert
@@Abbytaz1 god knows mate
😂@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert
Dan . What happens if you use weedol lawn weed killer on your lawn more than once in a year
Nothing to the plants, its just not allowed as it bad for the ground
What month did you do this?
August
I copied your scarifying techniques and did two passes. Couldn't believe what came out, and cant believe what is still in there.
Was lesser trefoil one of the weeds on the 10 list?
No but 2 more have come to me since . clover . trifolium repens and greater plantain, plantago major
If I did this to my lawn, could I change the grass type. Or would I need to do it a few times before it took over
In a lawn like this grass seed would never take over
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert if you scarified it alot harder could a new grass type be applied?
You have to hand it to this chap. He is meticilous in his approach & carrying out of his duties. He is the only one worth watching tbh. Just about all the others are copying each other & ending up with bare patches in newly seeded lawns. Burying the seed in compost is the main reason for it, but, what do they know.
Just some compost, fertilizer then seed. Do not cover the seed with compost & rake in. Grass seed needs light to germinate properly. How do i know?. I have created & tended so many, many lawns over the years.
Grass seed /any seed does not need light to grow, just heat and moisture
You are sadly mistaken. But there we are see!. I still think you are the best & most diligent on here nonetheless.
@@williamdavies3295 grass seed does not need light until 2nd leaf stage up until this point it cant photosynthesise, ive grown grass in the dark so your talking crap
Grass seeds aren't strong enough to punch through much soil. They’re meant to be placed on top of loose, prepared soil. Germination can quickly suffer from too much soil on top of them. Don't worry about the birds eating some of it, they won't eat enough to make a difference. Grass grows just fine in the wild where no one is burying it or protecting it from birds.
It's OK to use a seeding mulch to help hold moisture if you want to. That doesn’t count as burying the seed. Seeding mulch is usually made of paper pulp, coco fiber or peat moss
I wondered how long it would take for dan to start getting arrogant. There is room enough for different views relating to lawn care. For decades the seed producers have advocated not burying the grass seed. They ought to know their own product. Having done it for 20 yuurs or whatever counts for nothing. I have never grown seed in the dark, what for.
@@williamdavies3295 so why on pitches when they sow seeds they bury them a cm deep? Why would they do this? Why do turf farms do this? Why when you plant a sunflower you get a dibber create a hole and put the seed in the hole abs cover it with compost?????? See why i think your talking crap, some of the seed will grow if you just put it down on top but results are far better if you cover . This discussion is closed!
Hi Dan, love the info about the weeds. Out of interest why did you not cut first before scarifying would that not have made the scarifying more effective and easier to clean up?
Coz it was bit wet so would of clogged up the mower cutting it short to much bulk, it did cross my mind though
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert and that's why your the pro and I am a layman, thanks for the reply Dan!
@@gwarski normally your right i do but just not today
I'm always unsure how deep to scarify once the lawns established
If machine dont spin your too deep
Why is it always recommended to go diagonal on the second scarify instead of perpendicular? I find perpendicular easier for my shape of lawn and I don't see how it could make any difference.
Gwyn williams at mysercough said if you go square then you will get the lawn coming up , i guess a diamond has more surface area than a square? Maybe wrong?
Hi Dan, long time watcher. My new build lawn is full of clover patches…. Help!
Just need a weedkiller for lawns
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert did that, inhibits then comes back 😥 maybe being to restricted with how much, many thanks for the reply Sir!
What is a caper Dan ?😂
Is it a caber? I thought wen i said it lol
Why do you not like aeration or don’t value it?
Post a new video post more!!!
One coming today hopefully been on holiday
Looks like Poa Trivialis in that yard. Guessing that’s why you’re not concerned with it coming back. I call it nightmare grass.
Came to say same... haven't heard Dan talk about that before but does have that nasty branchy sideways laying over look. The more you rake, the more there is... nightmare.

I didnt spray one chemical what you on about???
Definition of a chemical is that if you separate the two entities of a chemical they cant be used separately, so i used iron sulphate , separate those you can use both independantly, carbohydrate , carbon and hydrogen can be used separately ammonium nitrate, both can be used separately do i need to continue??
