I've travelled back in time to confirm that it is the best lawn I've ever seen! Massive compliment Dan. Your videos are honest and professional. Keep up the great work.
Keeping it real 💯 Showing where you made mistakes, owning it and then showing us how to fix them. We all muck up so, great to see real world/lawn problems shown 👍 Cheers Danny!
Just want to say that for every troll, theres probably 100 of us who appreciate the sound advice you're giving us, and for free not to mention. You not having a £10,000 camera didn't stop me listening to you're advice, and even though the mrs thinks I'm a bit sad.... Our lawn is looking mint. Cheers Dan
I don’t know why TH-cam creators even respond to trolls…..just ignore them…..you produce a great video with interesting and informative content with pretty good camera work that is free to view ….some people are just hard to please….best ignore them and pay them no heed 👍🇦🇺🇬🇧
Hi Dan really enjoy watching your channel, the quality is really good so don’t worry about camera or sound, also like the music. Should get my scarifying rake this week. Time running out.
Many thanks for all your help and advice on lawn care. Due to ill health over the last year my lawns has been neglected but your videos have give me the lift I needed to get started on bring them back to good health once again. Again many thanks and very best regards. Alan P.S. You always find someone who's only task in life is criticise those who are only trying to help others so it not worth the bother in trying to educate them. Danny keep up your excellent work and videos
You do a grand job 👍 You deserve a lot more followers with the knowledge you are sharing. I’m a gardener and I like to watch your vids to remind/refresh my maintenance planning before I tackle customers gardens so I appreciate the work you put into the videos you produce.
Daniel you must be good all your lawns look amazing every season you care for them. Ignore the lemmings. I'm using jack magic it's £6 a bag. No lumps good stuff for top dressing.
Great tips and tricks, as always, been following your advice since re seeding last Sept, so similar lawn status to this vid. Please continue, no trolls here😂
Hi Daniel, thanks for this great content and you always time it so well. I just wanted to let you know that the iron sulpahte from your store worked amazingly turning all the moss in my lawn black and killing it within hours. I left it a week and then used the Steller Bio Boost and Galactic Green and the superb results speak for themselves. I am now waiting for your wetting agent to arrive. I hope this will help with hydrophic areas over the summer. Finding your channel, online store and taking your advice has helped me make informed choices in my garden resulting in a beautiful space that all the family now enjoy. As for the trolls, I always say that every artist should welcome any feedback or comments as it is always better than no feedback. The internet does empower unqualified people to speak on matters they know little about. Just ignore the nonsense as there are a lot of us who greatly appreciate your honesty and wisdom. Keep up the quality work!
I'm about to do the same thing on my lawn so it was nice to see you are happy to seed in this weather....I was debating if it was warm enough but you've answered the question 👍👍👌
Did it feel good winning that petty internet argument? 😂 Just ignore people who make daft comments. Love your videos, it's great to see the progress of these lawns and your results do seem to supercede the other lawn care channels 👍
Love the videos Daniel. Thanks. Trusty fork is always with me when I work on the lawn now. Made the rookie error on a patch and put too much seed down so pleased to see you only popped a few seed on the small patch. Why am I always tempted to put more on!! Keep up the great work.
Great video, informative and entertaining. Hope you celebrated Bolton' s win with a Papa John's yourself. Couple of cracking players have graced your team and mine over the years, notably Sir Les Ferdinand and Kevin Nolan.
Hi Dan! Big fan from the States. You just have to ignore the trolls and not look at it as 'abuse.' Ever heard the phrase, 'there's no such thing as bad publicity?' If they're engaging, good or bad, they're engaging. Treat it all like constructive criticism Here's some constructive criticism. I too have often wished you had a better camera just because it can be hard to see the detail of some of what you're doing with the grass. You're fun to watch and listen to. The audio is pretty good and that's the most important of the A/V equation but, it would be nice to see some of the finer detail you're pointing out. Also, iPhones can really suck with light balance and color. They're doing their best but when you're shooting outside under natural light that's constantly variable, it helps to be able to adjust the settings on the fly with a dedicated camera. Personally, I'm a fan of the Cannons with full CMOS sensors. You can get some help from a video editor on Fiverr for cheap to help punch up your color and lighting and learn the tricks of the trade cheap on there. It's where I learned some neat tricks. Hope that helps and keep up the great content!
Nice one thanks for watching, that vid was nearly two years ago, watch one from this 2023 when i using iphone 13 and 14 pro max, see what you think be interesting to see what you think of the difference
This will be this weekend, cant wait..totally agreed with your bit about people having their opinion about what you should do etc, I'd love to hear someone in real life say the stupid things you hear on the internet reviews
Dan Iam right this second doing my first proper lawn RENO .... Now iam useing 7 bags of miricle gro after I've scalped it . Scafied it and put seed on top ... just how bad is this stuff I couldn't afford the good stuff you use tho I will next time
Excellent video and tutorial as always, followed you now for a year and my lawn is looking great following your advice. Keep up the good work Daniel and keep that iPhone 14 running 😂😂👏👏
Hi Dan, great content as usual. I like the way you do a summarisation at the end of your videos, a quick re-cap on what you've just done...I'd love to gain a further insight with regards to your next choice of treatment, for each video clip...what treatment will you likely use next to further bring the lawn along and make us all keen to buy more of your products?...There's nothing nicer than being prepared, with the right choice of products, knowing that its either being ordered (from you) or even better, in stock or already bought!.. Love watching your clips and I salute you Sir....well done....
Another top video, currently in the process of trying to figure out how to make our lawn more resilient to our football and boys that want to play all great round. Currently a mud bath! Any advice greatly appreciated!
you ought to be a teacher mate ,, because your instruction is really that good , and the trolls mate ignore em they'll always be there, theres always a "I know better " brigade , nothing better to do
Absolutely love watching your videos mate, really funny and educational not like others on Utube which are BORING! I’m sure you’ve covered this in previous video but I cannot for the life of me find it. Could you draw out a metre square on a piece of card and show us how much grass we need in the area for us guys that have to hand seed instead of a spreader please… when I had my business I used to use 3 letters for idiots and they never knew what they were. The letters are GFO (get f*cked off) 😂 I suffer from depression and yours videos always put a much needed smile on my face, thanks Danny
Nice one! How’s it going with that other lawn that had leather jacket problems? The shady one? So glad we are back ‘in season’ - lovin the videos as usual!
Thinking of investing in a scarifier that produces grooves in the grass as opposed to one that simply scratches the thatch out. What model do you use please? Thank you.
Great job Daniel, ignore the virtual signallers, they really are a pain. They can always make their own video or watch something else., all TV’ s and pc’ etc have a switch and you simply turn off.
Brilliant video on fixing problems. Doing my overseeding this weekend just would like to know when im using the H2go can i put tht down before seed then topdress then fleece then use the H2go to address the new fleece issue. Cheers Dan 👍
You could do but you creating in essence a gluey surface so your seed might stick to the grass ideally you want to seed on to a dry leaf then top dress then h2go if not fleecing or like i do spray the fleece killing two birds and only using one application of product your way is going to be dearer
Have just used your code Dan for the field compost and have received my DHLE bottles of liquid gold. However, I need to apply some dressing this year and I know you mentioned it in the video. Can you recommend a good 70/30 top dressing as I have tried several over the years such as Rowlawn and Westland but haven’t had good results as quality hasn’t been very good. Keep up the great work 👍
New to and loving your videos Daniel. Just a quick question about scalping a lawn at this time of year. Does the frost have a detrimental effect on a scalped lawn? I read somewhere that you shouldn’t go too short when there is frost and not very much daylight.
Dan i have scarified and aerated, the ground temperature is 8 degrees in the day but 6 degrees at night, should i holf off until the ground temperature is 9 degrees constantly to sow grass seed?
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert Hi Dan, i overseeded as the ground temperature looked good, but since i did this the ground temperatures have not increased. the lowest is 5 degrees up to 8 degrees. Its rained every day since. Do you think the seed will be ok until the ground temperature rises?
@DanielHibbertLawnExpert Hi Dan, following your videos, and over the past couple off weeks, I have scarified, overseeded, fertalised and top dressed but I haven't had any germination yet. The ground temperatures only reached 8 degrees today. I have been keeping the seed watered. I used Boston shade seed containg 27% amenity perennial ryegrass, 55% strong creeping red fescue, 10% slender creeping red fescue, 5% smooth-stalked meadow grass and 3% highland bent. Question 1, the old grass need a cut, will the new seed be ruined if I mow over the non germinated seed? Question 2. Will the seed I have put down just work once the ground temperature gets better? Thanks in advance
Can Rise and Shine cause blackness if overdone (by accident) or is that a Galactic Green problem if overdone...or a combination of both? It's not moss but a few swards in the odd patch look unhappy at my gaff
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert I do have mature trees Dan more on the boundary’s. I have gone for full reset verti-cut, scarification, seed and now going field No4 and covers I was going to blow the fallen leaves off the covers daily 🤷🏻♂️ not well read on lawn care but do seem to get complimented on it’s appearance so must be doing something right. Your videos are amazing and I’m feeling more confident in what I’m doing hopefully get some results cheers Dan 👍
@@LeeDavidson-w3w yeah hopefully you van get the seed up and away as it not just for seeding its for the long game aswell as it may be to wet to mow but there may be loads of leaves about
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert Not that doesn't have a bunch of crap in it. found some organic compost from golf course lawn store but its $65 a bag.bought 10 bags to mix with sand last year for my own lawn.Lust expensive. Rock on love the vids.
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert usually peat moss overseed.most compost is hard chunks that's not fine like your field no.4. Have tried bulk compost and comes with weeds and rocks and not great. One more question I have an old lawn to Reno. Mostly shaded with big trees that have big roots thru lawn. What type of seed you recommend for shady areas.
@@johnfrancis8232 as much as i dont use them and never will why dont you use one of the landzie compost spreaders to sieve out the hard chunks yet release the finer grade material?
Hi Daniel. Great video as usual. What do you think about reseeding after scalping and scarifying but not top dressing. Seed will still find its way into grooves but finances this year might prevent me from buying top dressing for 300 sq m. Thanks.
Great video again, I'm in the market for a seed spreader as the hand spreader i use I often get it blowing stuff in my face. Do you recommend the miracle grow 1 you are using? I know you said you had a few issues? Affiliate link? Cheers for all the tips, love watching the videos
Hi Dan I have followed your your channel and have just fleeced my lawn ,finding it hard to judge how much water I am putting on though the fleece. Any advice.Thanks
Why didn’t you feed it, did this happen earlier or do you do it in a few weeks. Also why didn’t you overseed, is it because it’s thick? My 6 month old (turf) is looking quite bare compared to that. Thanks
hi Daniel, im about to do the same to my lawn. How long do you need to leave the fleece on for and do you water the lawn whilst the fleece is covering it
Brilliant stuff - Excellent vid as per usual ! Haven’t got a cylinder ….(yet😂) do you think I will get away with following everything else to a T or will it cost me later on? ….I can roll my old faithful hayter onto its lowest setting but it’s not as close as a cylinder
Great content as always Dan! I done the same to my lawn last Monday but I’m worried I’ve not seen much germination yet if any. Do you think I’ve gone in too early? Keep up the content and don’t worry about the hippies and the trolls. Ps I used Jacks to top dress but I’m going peat free. 😅
Top video mate ! Just wondering do your customers pay for all the materials you use ? And do they ever question why certain things need doing because to them it probably looks perfect
while i didn't like you using peat because of environmental reasons, you can use it all you want if it isn't banned yet. there are far worse things being done environmentally, so I'm not sure why people will focus their enjoy towards that. i also always appreciate YTers calling out trolls.
Hey Dan, I use compost from the garden to top dress. Is that a good thing or not. My compost is a collection of fallen leaves and grass cuttings piled up during the year, turned over to another pile for a second year, and then turned once more to a third pile for use the next year - so over 3 years old by the time I end up using it. But how do I know if it's good for the grass or bad?
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert Oh no twigs, very fine and soft. And I sieve it too. I just wondered if it was too acid or alkaline - not that I know what either would do to the grass. :)
@@Linleys get a soil test so you have a baseline, 6.5 is optimal for most cool season grasses but a point or so is fine and more often the case, you can use strips for this also, if you are nearer neutral (7) and your compost is more on the acid side it would actually be pretty beneficial but the other way and it could cause issues.
I've travelled back in time to confirm that it is the best lawn I've ever seen! Massive compliment Dan. Your videos are honest and professional. Keep up the great work.

I'm in the market for a seed spreader as the hand spreader i use I often get it blowing stuff in my face. Do you recommend the miracle grow 1 you are using? I know you said you had a few issues? Affiliate link?
Cheers for all the tips, love watching the videos
Hi Dan I have followed your your channel and have just fleeced my lawn ,finding it hard to judge how much water I am putting on though the fleece. Any advice.Thanks
Well i dont think you need to worry you could just peel abit back n see how it looks
Why didn’t you feed it, did this happen earlier or do you do it in a few weeks. Also why didn’t you overseed, is it because it’s thick? My 6 month old (turf) is looking quite bare compared to that. Thanks
I say in the video early doors
Did you watch the video as everything youvr asked is answered already
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert cheers, I must have skipped to the money shot
hi Daniel, im about to do the same to my lawn. How long do you need to leave the fleece on for and do you water the lawn whilst the fleece is covering it
10-14 days and yes water through it
See you have got the gardners rake lean down to a T, once had a colleague who leaned on his rake so much the handle was curved 😂
Lol yeah thats why i bought a fibre glass one lol
😄 looking a mess... Still looks better than mine after you've scarified mate.
Hi Dan what seed mix would you recommend for a North facing garden with a part shaded lawn?
Like this one lol barenbrug extreme i used
Made an error and went 80% fescue for shade tolerance. Can I mix in your rye grasses with the creeping fescue?
@@paulwebb4192 yep fescue no good in shade either, you can
Do i have to fleece??
No you dont have to just im on a time scale for this so need all help i can get
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert so it will just take a little longer to germinated. On it . I like you.
@@plumbertothepeople yes keeps birdsboff to plenty on this street big fat pigeons
How often do you water this over the next 4 weeks?
Well hopefully the rain will do it but if not prob 3-4 times a week if hot
Hi, what is HOC when you scalped this lawn!
Btw. great video, you are really lawn expert👌
Prob 5-8 ml
Thanks
Whats wrong with Jack’s Magic?
It was peat base and the new stuff has too much crap in it nowadays
Brilliant stuff - Excellent vid as per usual ! Haven’t got a cylinder ….(yet😂) do you think I will get away with following everything else to a T or will it cost me later on? ….I can roll my old faithful hayter onto its lowest setting but it’s not as close as a cylinder
No i think last year at one job my cylinder wasnt working and had to use hayter on one and was effective just not as short as id like
👏👏👏👏👏
What fleece are you using for the lawn mate?
Its from the garden superstore on ebay just garden fleece
Was going to ask the same question
Great content as always Dan! I done the same to my lawn last Monday but I’m worried I’ve not seen much germination yet if any. Do you think I’ve gone in too early? Keep up the content and don’t worry about the hippies and the trolls. Ps I used Jacks to top dress but I’m going peat free. 😅
Same in howards back garden not much happening dont be impatient its still very cold,
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert legend mate thanks for your advice. 👍🏼🧑🏻🌾
Top video mate ! Just wondering do your customers pay for all the materials you use ? And do they ever question why certain things need doing because to them it probably looks perfect
Yeah course i aint paying for them
They want the best lawn if they get me so they dont ask questions if they knew the answer they be doing it theirselves
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert wasn’t being funny mate just a genuine question thought maybe you supply materials sometimes to make the vids
@@damon9153 i knew you wasnt bring funny nor was i, i fund labour sometimes but never materials
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert no worries mate look forward to your next vid 👍🏻
while i didn't like you using peat because of environmental reasons, you can use it all you want if it isn't banned yet. there are far worse things being done environmentally, so I'm not sure why people will focus their enjoy towards that. i also always appreciate YTers calling out trolls.
What's the issue with jack's magic? Is the magic bad for the planet?
Gone downhill since they changed the peat content, still ok for beds n borders etc but not lawns
I certainly appreciate you trying ways to go more green, use less peat etc etc.
Hey Dan, I use compost from the garden to top dress. Is that a good thing or not. My compost is a collection of fallen leaves and grass cuttings piled up during the year, turned over to another pile for a second year, and then turned once more to a third pile for use the next year - so over 3 years old by the time I end up using it. But how do I know if it's good for the grass or bad?
Prob not great to be honest but who am i to say actually why not? Aslong as its not twiggy who knows?
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert Oh no twigs, very fine and soft. And I sieve it too. I just wondered if it was too acid or alkaline - not that I know what either would do to the grass. :)
@@Linleys get a soil test so you have a baseline, 6.5 is optimal for most cool season grasses but a point or so is fine and more often the case, you can use strips for this also, if you are nearer neutral (7) and your compost is more on the acid side it would actually be pretty beneficial but the other way and it could cause issues.
Hi. We love watching your videos. Would you consider transforming our lawns please 🙏 but.... we live in Packmoor, Stoke-on-Trent.
