    I'm on the journey to level my lawn! I decided that my soil needs a change. I have dense clay and I am going to top dress using sand after I complete a lawn aeration.
    I've had a history of melting out fungus primarily from over watering. This last year it was mother nature that kept sending the water. I am hoping the sand will help. Introducing the sand into the dense clay will also help the soil breath better resulting in a thicker and greener lawn.

    I live down South on a slight hill growing Bermuda and am going to have to do much of what I saw you just do. My lawn not only is on a slight hill (erosion north/south) but also was never leveled east / west so I am in for a time!! I do not have access to that machine that spreads out dirt. (gonna use a potting mix from a local compost/mulch farmer) since I live on red clay and dont want to use sand. Bottom line is I have 30 years on you and am already feeling my "wheelbarrow back" Thanks to you Pest and Lawn Ginja I will at least know exactly how to proceed. Thank you for taking time to share your skills with us. I most enjoy how you and your beautiful family enjoy your time together. (including the largest headed dog I think I have ever seen!) Keep these videos coming as you have taught me so very much about caring for my lawn.

    I hope that your wife appreciates all that work you do. I was married 28 years we end up getting divorced and she kept the house ,but now the house looks like is abandoned. High grass all the time, weeds everywhere, bold spots,ant hills, its actually kind of sad to see all my hard work going down the drain.
    My point is that women don't seem to understand the amount of hard work that goes into keeping the house beautiful until they have to do it. Just because we make it look easy doesn't mean that it is.

      @@pestandlawnginja Surprised your neighbors don't ask you to do their lawns as well. You have the beautiful lawn. Mine looks terrible but want to work on it. Thought of buying the Sunjoe scarifier and dethatcher to at least get it back. So hard it feels like concrete so I probably just need to overseed. Doing my due diligence and finding what grass would work well here in Iowa. I don't plan on going super crazy like you (no offence you know your stuff, and your yard is amazing) I'm just sick of how bad my lawn looks and hate looking at it. I can take a picture and you can see what I mean, and or if you could give me some cost effective ways to make it better I would be more then appreciative. My lawn probably sucks anyways because after looking around I found out that each neighbor has their run off gutter water running straight to my house. My soil being absolute garbage just led to it flooding my basement. Found out I cant do anything about the way they have them facing either (legally) other then asking them politely to move them, which of course resulted in a "if you wanna pay to move them" sort of ordeal. But both neighbors refused to even reposition their spouts that run into my lawn. I'm having a surveyor come out to see where my property line runs to see if they are in violation of mine. Regardless of that situation I hope to at least have half of what your lawn looks like. It would baffle the ones around me, the next door neighbor is the grounds keeper of the school nearby. The other is a retired farmer, and he just likes to throw the sticks from a tree that is clearly in his lawn on my side so I have to take care of them. I just want my lawn to be "normal" right now it is a disaster. Please if you have the time. I don't even have access to a rental power rake. That's why I'm considering buying a sunjoe, it would at least do something. I don't know at this point, I'm frustrated and have done most of what I thought would fix it to only end up at the same if not worse result. I figure this is the best time to tackle it because I have done tons of other things to the house I wanted done during this quarantine.
      Thank you in advance anyways,
      Ryan

    Howdy from Sacramento! Thanks for sharing, looks like it will pay off. One thing I would offer to save your shoulders is to lay the shovel across the quad of your front leg and use your leg power to drive the shovel into the material rather than using your arms.
