I've watched probably 20 videos before running into this video. This is the most complete and thorough video. Wish I had came across this video first. Thank you!!
For quite a while I’ve needed to sort my lawn out, but didn’t have the knowledge or confidence that I could do it, as I’ve neglected it, apart from mowing, for a number of years. So pleased I found your video. I found your description very informative and I now feel I have the confidence to crack on even if I haven’t got all the tools you use I only have a small lawn, and you mentioned that you used to do most of this by hand! I’ll let you know how I get on. Thanks again for this very informative video
As a man struggling with his lawn, this is the best thing I've ever seen on the Internet. You Sir are an artist and I think I love you, not in that way, in the way a man has a love for a fine Cuban cigar, or a traditionally brewed cider on a hot summers day. If there is a God your place in heaven is reserved (although I suspect he is going to ask you to sort his lawn out).
@@LawnRight Sir, my greatest wish in this world is to sit in a pub and talk lawns. My "friends" think what they have been up to and the cost of living is the be all and end all of life. My one friend has put in artificial grass and the other has gone for all paving, I'm in despair. Should I get new friends?
Just what I need to avoid throwing 100's of pounds down the drain like so many others do buying a whole new lawn... Then to find that has gone the same way! A real education, thank you sir!
I have just purchased everything I need to hopefully pull my lawn back from the brink…the main one being an *ldi lawn scarifier/ aerator. Slightly confused here as it doesn’t appear from the look of the blade to be much of an aerator , more of a power rake and scarifier (comes with two different blades) . I am still thinking that I need to properly aerate the lawn as I need to seed it well due to bare patches? Will manually drill holes as I do not think the machine itself will be enough for new seeding🤞
@@brianp7022 hi Brian, yes you're correct it's not an aerator. Several Manufacturers say they are when they aren't. If you use the thin metal spikes enough times you'll work down through the thatch layer and eventually put grooves in the soil for seed. The blades may be slitters which put deep slits in.. but try it on an inconspicuous area first! You fan always fork these spots to aerate them if needed
Well just a quick update…my lawn was awful, only 60sqm but a whole wheelie bin full of moss 😂 the worst affected area after scarification was almost all soil as it was that bad ….has come back the lushest ! just a few stubborn patches now but I’ve got the bug now so it will be a real achievement to see the whole lawn in good shape. It’s taken two months but no real drama …only used a general sports seed and fertiliser. I have also used a liquid feed every few weeks. There appears to be some large blades of grass which I assume are couch? (Wide blades) I will rip these out as they are only small spots… Incidentally is there any product I could use to save my grass from dying when my dog urinates? I’ve seen products online and it’s hard to change my dogs habits😂
@@brianp7022 hi congrats on the achievement! Loads of watering after the dogs weed I'm afraid usually first one of the day is the strongest wee.. you can train them to use one spot takes a while but doable unfortunately
As a gardener myself, I found this to be a very well set out and informative video which explained overall lawn care and included many useful tips. Brilliant video thanks!
This is the best video for explaining what to do with moss, scarification, aeration, over-seeding and basic grass care. Nicely explained - very clear. Well done!
Nice to find you on the TH-cam. Your video is Very friendly and informative. I am in Seattle, Washington State. We are now in the winter time and I found there are a lot of moss spots in my front and back garden. The Moss is growing very fast and it concerns me. I am now stopping to do any treatment based on what I learnt from your video today. Thank you!
You can do it..important to see soil as you rake it or dethatch or scarify it, and do this in many directions..when you are happy your seeds will touch the soil,go for the seeding then a topdressing and fork it in. Good luck
Great to see you don't mind getting the hand tools out to get the job done rather than just going to the next job like some others... Great job and informative video
As someone completely new to gardening and lawn care, with a lawn that requires a ton of work to bring back to life, this video has given me the right information about how to approach the job with the right tools and materials. No doubt I will make mistakes and learn along the process. Thank you very very much for this exceptional video and for sharing your knowledge and experience with the world. Keep it up!
I am a beginner and have no experience at all. To be honest, I failed several times before and I was frustrated and felt hopeless. After watching your video, you give me hope to give my lawn one more chance. Thank you so much for your video
Take your time.. one step at a time.. dont miss any steps.. ferlfree to join my Facebook group lawnright community and share pics and ask questions at each stage.. you got this!
I appreciate you periodically spreading Soil & seed by hand. I’ve always believed your energy is passed to the soil & seed and helps promote healthy growth. Crazy but that’s me hahaha
That expensive rake looks like my £10 soil rake from The Range. I used it on my lawn and apart from the occasional chunk being ripped up it worked well for prepping for overseed.
This is a really good full renovation video especially for the absolute beginners when showing them the tools to use and how you explain why your doing everything, I’m not a seasoned pro like yourself with all the tools but this will be my fourth proper year of lawns. I’m guilty of not watering enough, I try to do it as often as I can however sometimes once a day isn’t enough.
Hi Adam thanks for the kind words... here to help. If you're just talking about watering in general say in summer then its better to water 1 to 2 times a week deeply than daily as that can lead to disease and weaker lawns.. with infrequent watering the roots have to hunt for moisture.. pushing down.. creating a stronger plant
@@adamwalsh5285 ahh.. I do believe there are pumps that increase the flow but havent researched much.. maybe hoselock jet3000 k7 but may be totally wrong too
This is a great tutorial. I see after watching your video i'v made my fair share of mistakes on my lawn that I will be sure to fix next year. Thankyou👍
Great content shawn , nicely done . My lawn is coming on well , i'll be on my third mow this weekend , the only downside are the regular visitors on my lawn everyday digging holes to bury they're nuts.....Squirrels !
I love when you Brits say “rubbish”. I grew up in Hawai’i and that’s a common word for garbage/trash. I now live in the PNW and the residents here laugh… but I still say “take the rubbish out”.😂. My wife is now totally used to it.
Hi just the same process.. not always considerably longer in time as you "get a good run" while going up and donw with the machines. I also use a backpack blower to speed up the clearing up
I smell u a serious hard working man all this look easy but obviously isn't when weather is 90 plust degrees outside is a terrible thing nice work BTW 👍
I really like that scarifier. Wish they were available or offered for sale on the states. Prettty much a lawn mower compared to my billy goat power rake .
Great job - this gave me the confidence to have a go on my own gackgarden patch of grass myself (mostly moss and grass as it's never been tended to). Overall really good results, although it does look like a Swiss cheese in that there's circular shaped bare patches (not enough seed and/or top dressing I assume), so will take a other look at it in the autumn. Very hard work though, even with a (cheap) scarifier /aerator, so all credit to you for doing this day in day out 👍
Super video, I've watched sooo many different ones over the years but this is by far the best in every way!! Nice to get one closer to home with a similar climate. Living across the pond here in Ireland. Great editing too. Even adding in the money shot, revisiting the project pinned at the top! The compost roller is a brilliant tool. I haven't seen one before. It's obvious you take great pride in your work which can be rare to find nowadays. Fancy popping over here, all expenses paid 😄 Nice one lad, thank you for posting! Liked & Subscribed 🍻🇮🇪
Ahaa! All expenses paid holiday to Ireland! Wife and kids too 🤣🤣 .. on 2nd thoughts I'll put it down as a business trip, come alone and sample the local beers! thanks for all the kind words, very mich appreciated !
I wonder why you do not have more subscribers! Top content here! I’ve a similar lawn, neglected for 2-3yrs when house was not inhabited, with more moss than grass, been following your guide and hopefully will fix the lawn before winter comes. I’ve a 100sqm lawn covered with moss, wild strawberries, ferns and lots of weeds…. And some grass.
Hi difficult to be honest.. you can buy hosepipe with a sensor on them.. they sit in the lawn and shoot a jet of water out when they sense movement. Really quite effective. So.lmething like this amzn.to/37k0Owf
@@LawnRight thank you.. only worry I'd have is a leaking hose and how much water that would go through.. appreciate the reply.. I'll look into this more.
@@chriscross5689 ahh ok so if the hose has a leak replace it but usually it's the connectors that fit on to tap and onto sprayer. Def replace those and it should be fine...sone cats dont like citrus smells so might be worth trying some citrus fruit peelings in places
Great reminder to me of how to renovate a lawn. Can you give me any idea of what I should charge per sq yard to renovate a lawn in Ireland. I find it hard to price. Thanks
Hard to say to be honest as all companies charge different .. a 30 sq metre lawn may only take 2 hours.. if you're needing 2 hours labour plus materials you can imagine it's at least £50 for materials then labour costs at 2 hours. To be safe allocate a full days earnings for a job that will hopefully take half a day .
Thanks Shaun Most people run to the hills when asked my question. Not you and fair play to you. We all have to start at the bottom and it is refreshing when people like you are will to share these things. Thank you
Thanks.. and yes.. I agree. Ill go in and see if I can link to the "follow up" video.. I did do one (th-cam.com/video/RxH7YzGx_jU/w-d-xo.html) but will add it as a "link" in the video near the end
if the thatch is green it’s not thatch. dethatcher rake or thst flexible metal rake but do short wuick sweeps to rake out the thatch. wait a pole handle with removable attachments , nice
Got a lot of moss on my lawn. I thought it was weird coz it's on slope so drainage in ok. Lawn isn't flat, it's got a convex to it. I had suspicion that perhaps something going on under lawn. This was backed up by me finding lovely bits of dressed sandstone around garden. My house is 1920s but houses at back of mine are 60s. I think there is demolition rubble under lawn. The missus wanted to mini digger the garden flat, but I said u may not like what we find. I think some large victorian properties were demolished in my are in 60s when these lovely buildings weren't thought highly of.
You mentioned a discount code for the scarifier in a link but I can’t seem to find it. We have just recently watched this vlog and it’s very informative. Can you point me in the right direction please. Thanks
@@LawnRight no, it’s the Hyundai petrol scarifier I’m interested in. You mentioned a link. I know it was several months ago but we are hoping it’s still available. Thanks for a speedy reply.
@@diannemarshall7473 ahh. No actual discount code I'm afraid at the moment for that machine (amzn.to/49aFJOO here on amazon) but it's a pretty decent price at the moment
Thank you for these great videos, I am learning such alot from them. One thing I can't get my head around is if you hollow tine aerate then put grass seed down the seeds that fall down the holes will not germinate as if they are 2 inches down the hole they will not survive. Should we not be putting topdressing down the holes first then seeding? Would buying a lawn sweeper not be the best approach for removing the cores intact as apposed to raking or blowing them into piles. Would love to see a video on a lawn sweeper and what guy doesn't love buying new tools. Keep up the great content. 👍
Hi I'd say mid spring is the best time.. please ty of sunlight,temperatures etc. Cost wise we dont reveal our costs etc but factor in a days work plus profit and material costsß
That’s so educational. I’m disabled, so can’t do this work myself. Are there any contractors who can carry out high quality work like this, in the north east of England ?
Hi Doug Im not sure I'm afraid. There is Rob from Maxwell's gardening services.. here on youtube but I'm not sure if he does this sort of work. He definitely does Scarifying
With the manual hollow tine aerator, do you rake all those sausages of soil up or try to brake them up where they are and spread them around. Thank you.
it's like my lawn! new house build, and the soil under the lawn is just garbage fill from the builder...just rocks and compacted stuff. got myself a scarifier from lidl :) , but got scared quite fast as it seems to completely "plow" (like in this video at 4:09 )and destroy everything even on the smallest setting
Hi are you absolutely sure 100% your not on the lowest deepest setting? It's an easy mistake to make if so.. needs to be on a higher setting initially and see how much is taken out. Other tha that it may be you scarified in a shady mossy area where is very weak and easily comed out.. leaving almost pure soil.. that's ok too and necessary then would need a bit of reseeding
Here is the AFTER video: th-cam.com/video/RxH7YzGx_jU/w-d-xo.html 👍😊

Thanks.. and yes.. I agree. Ill go in and see if I can link to the "follow up" video.. I did do one (th-cam.com/video/RxH7YzGx_jU/w-d-xo.html) but will add it as a "link" in the video near the end
Thanks. Always wondered how to do this.
You're welcome!
The landzie looks to be a good bit of kit for you there, a bit more lightweight and compact 👍
I'm genuinely really enjoying it. Its a minor faff having to empty it from the bigger chunks but really that's only minor
I'm impressed.
What times of year should one apply it?
Hi spring or autumn are best
@@LawnRight Thanks 👍
Wouldnt running the water via the sprinkler tend to put the seed and soil to the lowest spot? I.e. make excellent ground to seed contact
It depends how heavy the water comes down to be honest. Mostly they are fine
Great vlog,can you tell me what topsoil you use.And how much it covers? Thank you
I just grabbed soil from the far end of my garden for this one. Used about 17 bags overall
Thank you very much for your thorough video. Would recommend using moss control (Ferrous sulphate) and fertilizer mix? Thank you.
Hi yes I've done this in the past but be careful not to get any onto paths or patios or water sources
I would like a landzie but they are very expensive, brilliant video thank you very much for sharing.
Thank you Frank. 😊👍
Make your own
Or there is a Dutch version of a landzie for half the price
The price of the landzie out outrageous for what it is imo
if the thatch is green it’s not thatch. dethatcher rake or thst flexible metal rake but do short wuick sweeps to rake out the thatch.
wait a pole handle with removable attachments , nice
Got a lot of moss on my lawn. I thought it was weird coz it's on slope so drainage in ok. Lawn isn't flat, it's got a convex to it. I had suspicion that perhaps something going on under lawn. This was backed up by me finding lovely bits of dressed sandstone around garden. My house is 1920s but houses at back of mine are 60s. I think there is demolition rubble under lawn. The missus wanted to mini digger the garden flat, but I said u may not like what we find. I think some large victorian properties were demolished in my are in 60s when these lovely buildings weren't thought highly of.
Certainly wouldn't be surprised at what gets buried these days 😪
Top notch information video!
Appreciate it!😊😊😊
Can you just use quality top soil to overdress after seeding - and can add fertilizer when watering the lot in
Yes absolutely and will work great. I've done many lawns with topsoil and all good 😊
You mentioned a discount code for the scarifier in a link but I can’t seem to find it. We have just recently watched this vlog and it’s very informative. Can you point me in the right direction please. Thanks
Hi Dianne did you mean the aerator tool by JNJ? they've stopped making the basic tool only a premium one now but there's others out there pretty good
@@LawnRight no, it’s the Hyundai petrol scarifier I’m interested in. You mentioned a link. I know it was several months ago but we are hoping it’s still available. Thanks for a speedy reply.
@@diannemarshall7473 ahh. No actual discount code I'm afraid at the moment for that machine (amzn.to/49aFJOO here on amazon) but it's a pretty decent price at the moment
Thank you for these great videos, I am learning such alot from them. One thing I can't get my head around is if you hollow tine aerate then put grass seed down the seeds that fall down the holes will not germinate as if they are 2 inches down the hole they will not survive. Should we not be putting topdressing down the holes first then seeding?
Would buying a lawn sweeper not be the best approach for removing the cores intact as apposed to raking or blowing them into piles. Would love to see a video on a lawn sweeper and what guy doesn't love buying new tools. Keep up the great content. 👍
Hi a lawnsweeper isnt a bad idea just been used to this way for over 20 years
How much would this all cost please , great job well done 👍🏻 When the best time to do first job
Hi I'd say mid spring is the best time.. please ty of sunlight,temperatures etc. Cost wise we dont reveal our costs etc but factor in a days work plus profit and material costsß
That’s so educational. I’m disabled, so can’t do this work myself. Are there any contractors who can carry out high quality work like this, in the north east of England ?
Hi Doug Im not sure I'm afraid. There is Rob from Maxwell's gardening services.. here on youtube but I'm not sure if he does this sort of work. He definitely does Scarifying
@@LawnRight ……… thanks. I’ll give him a try.
Great video. Thanks for making 👍
Welcome 😊👍
With the manual hollow tine aerator, do you rake all those sausages of soil up or try to brake them up where they are and spread them around. Thank you.
Hi you can do either really but if its thick clay soil it would be best to pick them up as it wont break down as easily 😊
what do you do about the overflow grass seeds that end up in the adjacent flowerbeds? do you come back in 5 weeks to weed them out?
I do my best to avoid any overflow 😊😜
it's like my lawn! new house build, and the soil under the lawn is just garbage fill from the builder...just rocks and compacted stuff. got myself a scarifier from lidl :) , but got scared quite fast as it seems to completely "plow" (like in this video at 4:09 )and destroy everything even on the smallest setting
Hi are you absolutely sure 100% your not on the lowest deepest setting? It's an easy mistake to make if so.. needs to be on a higher setting initially and see how much is taken out. Other tha that it may be you scarified in a shady mossy area where is very weak and easily comed out.. leaving almost pure soil.. that's ok too and necessary then would need a bit of reseeding
Lime and starter fert?
