      I will say the lawn level rake is expensive but when I topdressed last year, once the piles were smoothed out, I began walking with the rake behind me as a drag system. I didn’t plan it that way, but it made perfect sense as Al did with hisDIY version. The tool is versatile!

    Looks absolutely marvellous, I've been trying to level my lawns with sieved soil from my borders and the lawn is better but has a couple of small slightly bare areas that need attention. I will try sand next time, can anyone recommend what type of sand would be the best and where can I buy it from.

    Nice! If I was going to do this but I wanted to overseed, should I put the sand down first and then seed or seed before sand?

    Any tips with the manual lawn aerator? Mine always gets clogged after 5-10 minutes.. Thanks and great video by the way !!

    • @ShortCutLawn
      @ShortCutLawn  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I noticed that it clogs whenever you hit a dry spot, what I do is go to a moist section and that should push out the dry stuck plugs.
      So a good moist soil is the key.

    Awesome job! If I used sand on my lawn I would have concrete. Only fine sifted soil allowed on clay.

    • @ShortCutLawn
      @ShortCutLawn  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree, sand is a bad idea to mix with high clay soil.

    Question for you. How would you combine this sort of more major leveling with your earlier "lawn rejuvenation" videos? I have a decent dip in my backyard that I"m planning on attacking next spring. However, I also need to do a full rejuvenation. I was planning on following your 4 step video series that I believe you did earlier this year. Would you recommend doing the rejuvenation first (in the spring), and then tackling more major leveling (that this video shows) later in the summer/early fall?

    • @ShortCutLawn
      @ShortCutLawn  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Brad,. assuming you have a cool season turf, yes spring would be the best time to rejuvenate your lawn, get your over-seeding and top dressing done and keep your lawn healthy throughout summer then come early fall when temps starts cooling down do your heavy leveling. Leveling with sand Will initially Stress out your lawn so make sure you give enough time to recover before winter hits. Good luck 😎👍🏼

    I enjoyed the video. Been doing some research on how to level and overseed my tall fescue lawn in SoCal.
    Can overseeding be done after aerating and before applying the sand? Or will the sand hinder germination? Any recommendations for how best to both level and overseed?

    • @ShortCutLawn
      @ShortCutLawn  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Last year I over-seeded before a light leveling with about 1/4” of material. And this years leveling i went heavy with about 1-2” material. If I opted to overseed this year I would do it after leveling then lightly rake it to bury the seeds. Key thing is you don’t wanna bury the seeds too deep. 👍🏼

    • @ShortCutLawn
      @ShortCutLawn  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes one tiny strip, after not seeing grass after 5 days i got worried and removed about an inch of sand, it was all good and green after 5 more days.
      It was at my regular mowing height of 5/8”
