I bought a fairly new build house last summer, lawns looked like they've been neglected since the builders left, bought a scarifier 12 days ago, mowed, scarified, mowed again, threw down new seed, bit of top soil in areas, our neighbours said today its greener than its been in 10 years. Thanks for the vids 👍 looking forward to seeing it full recover.
After lot's of rain here in Scotland my lawns are growing like mad after a few weeks of very little growth. I cut on Friday now they need doing again. Thanks for all your advice. 👍
Hi you should be fine so long as theres no stupidly heavy rain or strong wind or birds.. keep it moist and see how it goes.. some will germinate for sure 😊
Yep.. do often thought about that.. tried it about 6 years ago but the stuff I tried from BASF wasnt good to look at.. may have to re visit this idea again tho 👍
Hi Shaun just to advise Landzie ordered from Ryan at Garden Imports.. I did advise him you pointed me in there direction.. A busy weekend ahead with scarifying, Hollow-tine aerating, over seeding & top dressing of a few large lawns ahead. Thanks again for your guidance..🍻
What weed killer do you use? I’ve just scarified mine. I had 3 of those bulk bags of thatch plus my brown bin full. I had some spring/summer fertiliser left over from earlier in the year. I think it’s 9-7-7 but not sure. Not sure what it means either. I have got some broad leaf weeds. I was trying to get them out by hand but it’s such a big area I gave up
Hi weedol for lawns or resolva extra for lawns for weedkilling.. The numbers represent a percentage of what's in the product.. Nitrogen N. Phosphorus P and Potassium K (9-7-7).. This is a fairly balanced fertiliser with number similar to one another so it's just a good basic fertiliser.. For faster green ups you would want the first number higher, Nitrogen
Great video Shaun because It was a question that I was going to ask you. . I've got a lot of dry patches as well so I'm going to re-read. Plus we've had 3 or 4 days of rain here so I'm going to crack on with . Cause I was going to wait untill the end of September.
Fab! This is my 2nd of 3rd in last 10 years. Blades dont last a season but that same as many,and cheaper metal being used, so be ready.. all good though
Hi Shaun, big fan of your channels and the great tips of provided. Well done! I was wondering whether you could check/comment my lawn renovation plan based on your videos? Date: End of Sep Area: ~45m2 - Power rake to remove debris and moss from lawn surface; - Remove all weeds manually (mini spade/shovel); - Fill up the weed holes with top soil; - Mow short; - Scarify (1st pass in lines; 2nd pass at 45 degree angle); - Aerate (manual hollow core aerator); - Overseed (2x passes) ~50g/m2 = 2.25Kg with handy spreader; - Top dress with compost (brush); - Use feet to compress compost/seeds Which compost do you recommend and how much will I need to cover area ~45m2?
Hi, thanks for the kind words.. so its a failry robust plan to be honest! Id probably give the power rake a miss, so long as your scarifier is powerful enough.. just to save time.. BUT theres no harm in running over with it first if you want to.. The scarifier will remove moss and thatch.. You will probably need around 4 to 7 bags of compost at around 40 litre bags, Ive used b+q verve in purple bags befoe, wickes, and I also use a lot of the growmoor brand at home bargains, purple bags.. good luck! if you can get it in beore the end of spetember to give enough time for recovery after.. before it stops growing
Hi Shaun. Thanks for sharing your years of knowledge with us greatly appreciated. I am scarifying and hollow tine aerating next weekend with commercial machines over approx 3/4 of an acre. I have quite a few weeds and wild grasses on the lawns. Should I weed and feed the lawn pre/post scarifying & aerating or look to fertilise and over-seed after? Thanks Vic
Hi Vic.. 😊 so as it's only a week away, and you need to decide if you are definitely going to seed or not as this affects what you do. If no seeding then by all means feed and weed right away.. or... give it a week or 2 after the scarify and aerate then feed and weed once weeds have grown a little....... if you do plan to seed you shouldnt use any weedkillers now... and for at least 6 weeks after.. 6 weeks from then would be just touching November..if the temps are good you can try a weedkiller then but there may not be enough time to kill them completely before the grass stops growing. As for the wild grasses they would really need digging out deep the filling with soil and reseeding
@@LawnRight Shaun one last thing we have removed a few trees and I have tried sowing seeds but limited success.. how deep should I remove the mulch and should I fill with top soil or sand and top soil and how deep..?? Thanks Vic
@@vicwoods7468 hi so 6 to 8 inches would be perfectly good but even less is good enough if that's all you can do 😊.. this simply allows for roots to develop down
Hi Dave thanks! I do have a video already which may address this.. but always open to doing more if needed th-cam.com/video/dC-1wOlXlzc/w-d-xo.html cheers!
Hi.. so ultimately if seeding, you need to break the soil surface and create grooves usually maybe 5mm to 10mm deep to hold the seeds.. so practically you're simply scratching the soil surface.. if you've a lot of thatch you need to get down through that,and often in 2 or 2 different directions. So as for topdressing absolutely 😊👍
Thank you for the honest advice as always. Question… can a weed killer and emerald green be mixed so they are spread together? Which weed killer do you recommend and can it be used when reseeding at same time?
The emerald green can definitely be applied at the time of seeding as is very highly recommended to aid with germination and ensure the ground retains moisture better. You can find out more about emerald green here: lawnright.co.uk/emerald-green/
What fert do you spread this time of yr? And at what rate? Also is it a good idea to tine (hollow or solid) this time of year? If so should it be done, cut, tine, scarify, cut, fert in that sequence? Cheers
Hi I'm using A1 spring summer fert at minute but will swap to autumn soon.. you can scarify before aerate or the other way round. I usually cut short, scarily, rake off debris, then if fairly clean I'll aerate then clear off the cores
Great video. I am seeing healthy grass after scarifying and aerating referring your videos :) I am seeing lots of clover in lawn now. Any ideas on how to clear them
I agree. I had quite a lot of clover in my lawn. I have applied Weedol at the recommended diution and it appears to have killed off much of the clover...I am very pleasantly surprised and was expecting a much longer battle to remove it. Time will tell. The trick will be to stop it growing back.
@@teej4114 Apply a pre-emergent (preventative weed barrier) in the spring. In addition, the denser stand of turf you create will assist in minimizing weed population.
Love watching your videos, really great tips. Last fall I scarified, aerated then seeded our lawn. In the spring it looked amazing and was a nice thick lawn. With this summers heat and lack of rain it has all turned brown. Do you think it will come back next spring?
Hi and thanks! It should recover just fine..its just gone dormant due to the heat. As long as its had some water over summer it will come back .. 2018 was similar but some folks never watered and theirs died off
Hi more than likely yes.. although it may have gotten hydrophobic with the drought if rain isnt soaking in right away and beading on the top.. either way I'd wait till its had again bit of rain and then reassess.. aeration is always helpful but you may find it's more easier draining once its had a good soak 😊👍
Hi Lynton if the grass isnt too long you can scarifythen mow after rp suck up any last bits..if its linger you can mow it short.. you can of course mow it shorter first if desired and will make scarifying a little easier 👍😊
Great video as always. Hopefully you can help me with some advice. Looking to scarifying soon but the lawn at my rented house is plagued by weeds. Cats ears, moss, clover and crab grass... should I just scarify or hold off and treat the weeds first? Any tips would be a great help.
Hi if you're only scarifying and not seeding go ahead and treat them now and look to scarify after 2 to 4 weeks and should be on your way to something better 😊👍
Hi, I have about 10 customers at the moment who's lawns have never been scarifier? I am just about to do these for the first and wanted to know if I definitely have to use a fertiliser after it or perhaps lawn sand? Thank you
Hi Neil you don't have to do anything after it. It will eventually recover.. with rain or water itll recover faster. With typical weather around 6 weeks usually
Hi sometimes I do use dumpy bags but find I can squeeze the black bags in more spaces in the van 😁. I also reuse the same black bags quite a few times so it's fairly green. And lastly its often because I forget to take the dumpy bags 😁🤣
Why are you using plastic bags? I’m presuming all that thatch is going to landfill? Surely that would compost down or be useful as a winter mulch on the beds and borders? Or at least go in the green/brown waste bin?

Trouble is,you generate so much thatch (on our grass anyway) that you end up emptying the bag/ box every pass. I found it easier to rake(we don't have a posh leave blower) and bag after a full lawn pass. An it means I can stuff a cake from my wife as a treat for all my hard work and exercise.👍
Hi..the JNJ is a decent one (www.jnjstore.co.uk?cc=LawnRight5) 5% off if you use my link. I will be reviewing this ,plus 3 others in the next month also
Hi.. depending on where you live it's still possible. I usually stop any seed work by mid October. Grass will germinate as long as we have temperatures over 7 degrees. Typically this allows for 6 weeks after mid october for it to germinate and come through usually just fine.. however weather can be unpredictable and the closer to this date you do it the more you get closer to chances of the weather turning worse.. so.... right now is fine.. (that's here in the uk).. and a great time to do it
@@simonaskubilius3732 hi you can use a general autum fertiliser, or a preseed fertiliser but it's not the end of the world if you dont. I do usually use a light dusting of fertilizer though
@@simonaskubilius3732 Hi theyre all quite similar.. I have tried the A1 brand so far in spring/summer this year on my lawn, and I just looked they also do a pre-seed fertiliser (amzn.to/3dmd969) but if you have any fertiliser sat around as long as its not too high in Nitrogen with a little more emphasis on phosphorous you will be fine (NPK - nitrogen potassium phosphorous, you'll see on fert, the K value should be a touch higher than the N value
