That's my one problem with all TH-camrs. Not a single one actually mentions how long it actually took. They just fast-forward the work. Some of us are actually looking for technique and methodology. Really appreciate giving the truth.
No problem Toney! I try hard to keep it realistic for the viewer! Thanks for watching my friend!
What you looking for...an 8 hour vid? 🤣
@@mickeyhughes7244 🤣 Just anything better than 10x speed. Lol.
@@jumpsthroughhoops 👍🏼🤣
Just did mine in September. That Jonathan Green Black Beauty is the bomb! I have never had a lawn look so green!
Hey JB as always excellent video I'm a 57 years old retired machinist and I'm going to redo my little backyard in the spring. The video was a great help to me I wasn't sure how to go about doing it but thanks to you I know how to do it. Thanks again for your kindness and sharing your knowledge with us and say hello to the little lady she should be in more of your videos. JB you da man!
Hey Ken! Appreciate the positive feedback bud! A lot of time and effort went into this video! I will be trying to get her in upcoming videos! You DA MAN Ken! 👍👍
That’s a great how to video JB! My back yard definitely needs leveling I like the peat moss and have used it many times to hold moisture and keep the birds from eating the seed. Great information. Thanks for sharing my friend!
Thanks Jay! A lot of work went into this video for sure! Definitely give Tommy topsoil a call if you need soil for any leveling/ yard project. Good soil for a good price. Fast delivery too! Thanks for watching my friend!
1 The push broom is a good tip, I haven't seen that before
2) Thanks for contrasting the leveling and landscape rakes
Finally, I appreseate your frankness about the time and effort this takes.
As others have noted I too am working on a neglected lawn, although in my case it was me. I'm recently retired and improving/maintaining the lawn I put in 30 years ago now makes sense :)
Thanks for another great "How to Video" on #lawncare.
Hey Loren! Thanks for the positive feedback! I appreciate it! I liked the landscape rake a bit better for my turf. Better spread! I like to be as honest as possible with my videos that way people know what they are getting into. Fall is coming and that is usually the best time to get a neglected lawn in shape. Pretty tough in the summer. Rent an aerator in the fall and you’ll see some major changes! Thanks for being a cool fan Loren!
In my experience leveling my tall fescue lawn last Fall, instead of using a leveler or a landscape rake to knock down and spread the piles of soil/sand I just used my push broom, only I turned it upside down. The broom is not as wide as a leveler or landscape rake but works fine for leveling the size of depressions you were dealing with. Then I turned the broom back over and worked the soil/sand in down lower as you did.
Awesome King! I bet it’s as smooth as can be! Thanks for sharing! 👍
I am about to do this, how short did you cut your tall fescue before trying this method?
Great vid! I also have longer grass - usually cut 3 1/2 inches - there is NO WAY I can take it down to only half inch, which is what most other YTubers recommend for leveling. Based on your video, it appears longer grass is ok, but it will take more work to spread it. That's ok.
I recommend ditching the wheel barrow and buying a gorilla cart. Much easier on the back!
Hey Dan! Yeah there was no way I could get it down to one half inch. Probably would have killed it or my mower! I got it down to 1.5 or 2 inches and that was fine. 👍
I'm very impressed... The topsoil mix is perfect. What a great use for peat moss, too! I wouldn't have thought of that, but I'm off to fix some rough spots right now. Thanks for posting this, JB, this answers what I need to perfect my lawn!
No problem Paul! Glad you found some tips along the way in this video to help you out! Peat moss definitely helps keep the grass seed wetter, longer! Got a big lawn project coming up?
@@GarageGear You know it, JB!
@@campbellpaul awesome my friend! Keep me posted!
Best vid for cool season lawn on the internet wish i would have watched this before i did my backyard I used play sand / moisture control miracle gro. few things, didn't realize how much material i needed just for a few spots. my landscape rake kinda tore my lawn up a bit when pushing, and i brushed but i didn't brush enough to see the existing grass so the spots are still bare after three weeks. i never had success seeding in the spring in ontario canada, late summer early fall no issues. so anyway mixed seed in with more miracle gro (i usually use black loom or composted manure for seeding) i kept it in the garage for a coupe days mixed in my cart I feel like it gets nice and warm first then i put it on top of the sand then hit it with a bit of cheap Scott's starter fertilizer (i use a high quality triple 16 4 times a year) but for seed i use scotts starter not even sure i need it tough in the fall i don't use any. anyway i didnt use peat moss but i think next time i do this project or general seeding i will try it out. i didn't do my front yard as this was my first test run. just bought this house a few years ago, i respect the comment you made re your back. i destroyed my back removing trees and removing grass by hand with shovel about 1500 sq ft worth then lugging all the old grass in my car to the dumb- i legit patched certain sections of my lawn and it will take me years to finish removing old sod and finish patching. Having a lawn that's not level sucks cause of the water drainage but i also don't have money to hire someone to do a full tear out and level. my back will be so messed in a few years but my lawn will be amazing. really hope my second attempt at the levelling some spots works i think i might have to wait for the fall though when the soil is still warm for the seed, unless i don't seed and just do an amazing job at brushing, not even sure you need to seed when there is already grass there. love all your vids.
Appreciate you and your positive feedback allforone! Getting a lawn level is quite the process but worth it in the end!
Great video JB. I did a combination leveling/overseeding project last fall to my front yard and it turned out great....By chance I used the same exact grass seed that you used and really liked the results. I'm planning to do the same thing to my backyard this fall but with a heavy emphasis on ground leveling.
Hey ROBERT!!! Great minds think alike huh? That seed is extremely reliable! How big is your backyard. I ordered two yards and had way more than I needed with the soil!
@@GarageGear I don't know the exact size of my backyard, however, I do know that when I ferttilize it that a bag of fetilizer that sipposed to treat up to 5 thousand square feet is not quite enough to cover it. My front yard is definitely smaller.
@@robertkreachbaum4546 ok cool! For me one yard basically covered about that for my front yard and I spread the rest all around the yard. You’ll definitely have extra if your doing a thin glaze like I did!
I thought the same thing about the leveling rake when spot leveling. I think it works a lot better and easier on larger areas where it's primarily dirt, OR if the turf is super low. Incidentally, I used 2 bags of top soil to 1 bag of sand, whatever sizes those were at home depot... Worked pretty well.
Glad someone agrees with me Ben! 👍 you ROCK bud!
Great info! Glad you talked about the amount of effort required. I have a bad back (lumbar fusion already) and I was looking to do this but now I think I'll enlist the help of my adult children before tackling this project!
1 quick question: Do you talk like that all the time or is that your "camera voice?" 😁
Hey mellow! Definitely a job that goes better with a little extra help. I’m a energetic and loud individual so I guess that explains it. Lol! Thanks for watching!
Great video JB thanks for sharing your knowledge on how to maintain a healthy lawn and how to level your lawn as well. I just recently moved so now I'm starting out on a whole new lawn this video was helpful. Take care 👍👍
No problem Backwoods! Congrats on the new place! Where did you move to? Thanks for watching another my friend! 👍
Hey JB I wanted to follow up with you question. My girlfriend and I moved about 30 minutes from were we used to live the area we live in is western Pennsylvania. Take care my friend I will catch you on the next one. 👍🔧
@@BBSE29 cool man! Congrats on the new place! 👍
JB - I did the lawn last year removing the bent grass and I see I have a few bare spots this year. Do you recommend using the soil/sand mixture along with the seed? Or just seed and then fill in the low spots next year are later this year? Also, living in Buffalo when did you do the leveling job in the spring?
Hey Mike! Now is the time to level the lawn. Spring time in Buffalo is best. Level the low spots with a sand soil mix. Put some seed on top. Put some peat moss over it and let it grow! In about two weeks you’ll be good as new! Thanks for being a cool local fan!
I think the biggest issue with most of these levelling videos is how product is distributed. The piles smother and the shovel throw is hard work. Solution I found is to use a large acreage fertilizer spreader. Run bucket after bucket distributing an even layer. Large square footage should rent an eco spreader
Thanks for sharing
Hey whats up JB, Lalo here from SoCal...love the videos! I find you content to be very well put together and informative. I have definitely learned some things along the way. Keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot made ya look lawn care! I appreciate the positive feedback! I like to be thorough and enough when putting a video together but also simple enough to follow along ya know! Thanks for being a cool fan of the channel!
Currently in the process of sorting out the lawn at our new house. Really wasn’t looked after at all by the previous owners but it’s going to be a fun project! Challenging though now it’s the dry season here in northern Australia.
When the weather is in your favor you can tackle it! I’ll bet it’ll look great when your done with it. A few simple steps and make some major changes in its appearance. Thanks for watching Alex!
Great tips! Especially the one about the lawn leveling rake and the broom!
Hey Michael glad you found this video helpful! Thanks for watching!
Play sand is not ideal. Use a medium sand that you’ll find in the bagged concrete section at your box store. Easier to spread, drains better. But if you’re on a budget this will work since it’s less than half the price
At the time when I filmed this the store near me only had play sand. I looked for the medium sand but they were out. Thanks for watching!
This was very helpful. I have a very big lawn project I an going to be doing in the spring. Ill have to give tommy topsoil a call.
Awesome Dave! Thanks for watching
First time home owner. I'm ready to do this. If I did this in the fall do I have worry about snow melting it away? If I start in the fall should I start late August? When should I start moving again And? And then in spring do I detach? Or leave it alone? Or should I do this all in early spring? Thank you for your help if you respond im going to subscribe
Hey deep lots of good questions here! Don’t worry snow won’t affect this at all. I would start this in the first week of September. Give the lawn about two weeks to do it’s thing then start mowing again. Only dethatch if you have a thatch problem. Spring will be probably the best time to do this because the lawn is growing so vigorously. Thanks for watching
Just a correction: I don't believe it's accurate to say topsoil is organic and will go away. Top soil has only about 5% organic matter (the rest being clay, sand, silt, etc). Basically, if you compact and add in layers, you can perform successful leveling with topsoil only.
Thanks for the info! Appreciate it
Hey JB, love the video! I have a yard that might have some grubs in it, its very bumpy in some spots, almost like you're walking on softballs. do you recommend doing this exact method to try to alleviate the bumps? thanks!
Hey Drew have you tried rolling your lawn? I would do that first and if you still have bumps then consider leveling it this way.
I need to wear a spacesuit while mowing my front and back lawn. It has more lumps and craters than the Moon and Mars combined. Its like 4 wheeling without the rollbar. Nobody really notices though because I fake the perfect lawn appearance by keeping the grass up high. 😉
At times mine was much like your space cadet! Yearly lawn rolling and this process helped a ton. I wonder how much a space suit costs 🤔 ? Thanks for watching my friend!
THANKS for the comparison for landscape vs leveling rakes for cool season lawn. Been trying to figure out if my 36" landscape rake will be fine for my big project.
ROCK ON Ben! Have fun with your project!
I love peat moss for new seed. Also the dark color makes it look great!
💯agree nutmeg! Thanks for watching!
Sure admire your attitude, high energy, and enthusiasm! Great role model for youngsters in addition to GREAT advice via this excellent video you put together. Starting my leveling today. And now I'm ready 💪.
Awesome JP! Appreciate the positive feedback! Good luck with your lawn leveling project. 👍 thanks for watching!
Love the vids. Really looking forward to future Toro Timemaster videos!
I got a couple in mind Dave! Stay tuned! Thanks for being a cool fan!
Great video! Only thing I did differently is really scalp the lawn to make spreading the soil easier.
Thanks JD! For my lawn I took it as low as I could comfortably go with it. Any lower and I would have done some significant damage. But hey if you can go lower go for it . Thanks for watching my friend!
Love the video. Curious if you thought about using the eco lawn 250 top dressing machine for your 50/50 mix? I plan to fill in the ruts in my backyard and it’s about 10K square feet w/ some pretty severe sloping. Not something I can do without machines helping.
Hey Erik! If you can get your hands on one of those machines then go for it. I could not find a rental place near by with one or something similar but that sure would have made the job easier. Let me know if you get your hands on one! Thanks for watching!
@@GarageGear will do. Thanks a lot! Along with leveling, I also plan to aerate and over-seed. Should I clear out and fill the”plugs” with sand first and then use sand/screened loam to fill ruts? I typically let the plugs just decompose on the lawn.
@@erikbrouillard9759 clearing out the plugs and filling them with sand will be a lot more work. Plus you’ll have this layer is sand on top and then a layer of sand /soil when you go to fill in deep ruts. I would probably just let them break down naturally considering you have such a big lawn. Aerating and overseeding is always a great idea!
Hey jb! Nice video dude 👍
That material disappears fast doesn’t?!?
Hey Bud! Good to hear from you! I was planning on send the video your way! I know you’re the leveling pro! The sand soil mix definitely went down fast! The law is nice and flat! Seed is coming up quick! Just need some more rain! How’s everything on your end?
I had to go back to this one. Your my hero! Doing this now.
You’re my hero Vincent! Have fun my friend!
Question can the grass be moist or does it have to be dry . It's been raining lately my logic was that the fine sand would clumb.
Good question! Everything should be 100% dry. Clumping will make this whole job 10 times harder to do. Thanks for watching Ali!
Well, I was thinking the area looked really familiar. I’m over by Leo Topsoil. Not sure if the offer a mix, or just materials.
Hey Mike! Are you in the north Tonawanda area! Leo Brenon topsoil I think you’re referring to has a lot of products available.
@@GarageGear Yes sir, that’s the one.
I bought a peat moss spreader and can't recommend it enough. Makes it so much easier and all my neighbors are always asking to borrow it they like it so much.
I’ve seen those and would like to get one but have no room for it! Thanks for watching Bryan!
Can't wait to see how it turns out! 👍
I’ll be getting some clips later this week! Hang in there my friend I know the suspense is killing you! 😂👍 taking a bit longer because we just had a week of higher temps.
Last week , lawn mower reviews. Subscribed. This week I need to know how to level my yard. Boom! Winning
BOOM! You’ve arrived at the right channel DJ! Thanks for watching bud!
strongly appreciate your realistic projections of timing, so true other YTs dont illustrate how long jobs take.
Hey Andrew! I try my best to lay it all out for everyone so that way they know what they are getting into! Thanks for watching!
JB how did the leveling end up a year later? I tried using sand mix in the past (25% sand/75% soil) but it became really spotty for future growth of cool season grass.
All good here! Every lawn is different! There could be a million factors affecting your lawn and it’s level. Leveling is usually not just a one and done process. Typically you’ll do it over a few seasons.
I would have thought sand lowers water retention and dries the lawn out in the summer.
Hey Bondo! You can see that I’m only spreading a couple of bags across my lawn. And in many cases it was thin in areas. You can also see in my summer fertilizing video that my lawn was greener than all my neighbors. No dry lawn issues here! Thanks for watching!
🙏 Peace & Healing in Buffalo
Hey Vincent! Scary times we’re in right now!
You're nuts man! I get it but spending time with family is a higher priority 🙏😉😊😇
Thanks for watching
The patches of soil/sand left after the leveling rake- is there grass under the patches, or bare spots? Thx
Any patches left after the leveling are either grass covered up or a newly leveled area. The broom helps lift any grass back up.
Just realized I love my bumps now after watching this.... lol. Gonna go fishing instead!
I probably should have went fishing as well lol! Thanks for watching
How do you like that spinning composter?
Works great Pete! In the spring summer and fall it turns out compost about every month! No complaints on my end! Thanks for watching!
Look easy but obviously isn't a easy task to take a lot hard work and $$$$ nice looking lawn BTW 👍
Hey best friend! This is definitely not a task you want to do every year. It is a bit of work and can be expensive depending on the tools and soil you’ll need. Appreciate the positive feedback. Thanks for watching!
Great video, your yard looks great dark rich green. I have a question, what was the temperature like when you put it down? Thanks

Best lawn leveling vid
Appreciate you Jose! Thanks for watching!
I have a bumpy lawn in my backyard it's a small area. Could I just till it and start over with seeding or you think this is worth a shot?
Hey Martin! I would definitely keep the grass that’s currently there and just smooth it out. Old grass is the best grass. It’s hardy and new grass may suffer with summer temps on the way!
@@GarageGear you mentioned in the video if I use dirt only I will end up where I started and that's what happened to me last year. The craters were back. Originally the last owner had a huge dog that tore up the lawn and left bumps, lower and higher areas. I almost sprained my ankle walking through one day. Anyway, do you think it's a good idea to roll a wet lawn since the dirt is softer after I apply the mixture?
@@martinp.9853 yes definitely roll the the lawn to ensure it’s flat and smooth. You could even give it a quick roll before and after to really get it down. 👍
not gonna lie, I found this video very relaxing to watch. 🍻
My other videos stress you out Smallblock? Lol 🤣🤣👍
@@GarageGear lmao 🤣😆

Do you have any good tips for if you back yard gets to wet after rain and takes for ever to dry
If water is sitting there for a while you may want to consider a drain tile in your yard. Installing these can be a lot of work but your yard will be significantly drier! Do you have a large area that stays wet?
Great video jb!!!!!

I finished the video this morning. The peat moss, in my opinion, is the best way to get seed going and keeping it wet. Great choice for seed as well. Hard work pays off and the neighbors know it👍🏻
@@js12278 the peat moss definitely does a great job! I love giving my neighbors a hard time!

Hi I'm Troy McClure, you might know me from such films as "How to level a cool season lawn" 😂
This would have worked better if you cut your grass shorter
Perhaps! But my mower was bottoming out in spots. Some things you just have to deal with. Thanks for watching
Why wouldn't you cut your grass way shorter instead of ending up with blotchy areas?
If I went any lower the mower would bottom out in spots. Mow as low as you can comfortably go with it
@@GarageGear I didnt realize there was that many dips. Grass looks like 2" long! The first time i tried to level it looked like that and i just killed off holes of grass versus spreading it out more.
@@PatriotBrad it’s mostly along the edges I would be bottoming out. Don’t want to scalp it
