Cant wait for the next video this was great and enjoyable man thank you
Thanks mate 👍🏽
Love your videos keep it up👍👍
IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER LAWN TIPS VID!!
I use a Bannerman mini topper topdresser. It's a manual push along one... currently with flat tyres! 😮 hard to push but does the job well.
Fancy drag bro👍😎
They should put a cover over that little Engine there. Or more Customers will fill it with Sand.
That ECO250 is pretty awesome...wish I had one of those when I have to manually topdress the greens. Lol. Great video again.
I remember manually topdressing a few greens! Not fun 😬
Been there done that. We finally convinced them to buy a top dresser this year.
New subscriber here from the U.S. love the channel man.
Thanks legend!
A nice lawn is a full time job and is costing 💪 and 🦵 🤑
Hi I'm in the process of starting my NVQ2 qualification for turf care for my job as a greenkeeper in the UK. Have you or could you possibly make a video on the different types of grasses and the different ways of care for them thank you
Hello there..ok..love the lawn toy/ top spreader... could it be ok to place over existing weeds to level?.. currently there is no grass..it's strictly weeds...did treat with round up but will have to reapply again.. wanting to place Zoysia grass sod eventually
How much sand did you use to cover the area? That is going to come up nice!
Is there a follow-up on how the freehand pre-emergent lawn is looking now?
With respect to mowing, watering, and fertilizing, what did you do to prepare the Kentucky bluegrass before smothering it with sand? I don't think of KGB as being a plant that can withstand being covered up for any length of time.
Sell the wife's car heaps of room in the garage then😂😂😂
Not a bad idea 🤔
@@LawnTips yeah not a bad idea indeed
😂
@@emmasims5907 are you bens missues
I want to do up the almost non-existent lawn in my rental but don't want to fork out a lot to lay all new grass. What grass would you recommend that I can grow from seed and is easy to maintain and doesn't need a lot of water to look lush?
Yo mate wuddup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel sorry for clint having to live in that tiny house he must have a really crappy job 😳
Great content keep up the good work
With sand that thick (up to you're knuckle) would tiftuf still grow through that thick or too heavy?
I used a plastic forklift pallet upside down to level my top dressing and it was very quick and effective.
I use a wooden pallet. Works very well.
A metal gate works wonders too
Mate the wife wants to know the dimensions of that swing set and what materials you used! How did you span what looks like 10 metres through the middle???
Love your stuff mate! Even with the sand really thick in places, will the grass still grow back there?
We have gone over it a few times cause it was a little thick. If it was couch or kikuyu that thick would be fine
Nice work ben big job mate are the earthway spreaders any good at light top dressing wanna give mine a go. Cheers 👌
You sure can man! I’ve done it quite a few times, works well
Noice, I found tightening up the belt allows to smash out wet sand 🙃
Great tip!!
So how much does a job like that cost? I have a 15K-ish square foot yard that would benefit tremendously from this very thing, but it's too big to consider doing myself... but I am afraid of what it would cost to have done.
Been hanging out for this but the only problem is your videos aren’t long enough 😉
I’ve been struggling to get them long lately! Feel like I talk to much so I cut heaps out haha
Lawn Tips haha Ye I know what you mean 👍
I vote for 3 vids per week. One per site you are working on 😁. That way less talk more lawn footage.
Hey bloke, hope all is well.
So you're undertaking this task, how much topdress material do you order esp if you have low spots to manage? Do you do length x width x height then convert area to metre cubed? If so, what height do you work on? I imagine it would all be in metric and same unit eg centimetre or metre. As you say the grass shouldnt be smothered, leaf needs to poke out for photosynthesis.
Keep up the good work!
Cheers
Hey mate. Usually aim for 10mm of topdress. So aim to get 1m3/100m2
@@LawnTips cheers!😉
where can i buy this unit?
Yo mate i live in vic what month(s) should i apply pre emergent during the year??
Hey mate. September and late March
Random question - what sort of stones is the driveway gravel? Ie. What am I looking to ask for at the local supplier?
I'm not sure what you'd call them in Oz, but in the US I would ask for 3/4-inch chipped stone. Any stones you want to drive on should be chipped and not rounded. Rounded stones will never, ever, settle into an interlocked surface, so every time you drive in you're plowing stones in front of the tires. Stones with faceted sides can be vibrated into a solid surface. Here is a link to a page with a picture of 1-3-inch chipped stone. Shadow is the color of the stone.

@@dchall8 manm awesome. Thank you!
Yuuuuge
Thought it wa a sand pro at first
Can I borrow that topdresser. I promise I will get it done with it really quick. :)
Imagine the freight on that 😂
@@LawnTips Haha I was thinking of flying it on my back lol :)
WTF you sound exactly like me, let me know if you need any voiceover work lol
Post dimensions you used for the drag, pay that forward boi
3000mm x 750mm
The two front rails are 50mm C channel middle and braces a 50mm x 50mm angle, all steel was 5mm thick 🤙
@@clintevans5091 Nice pinch hit! 👌
first
Hummm buy a big enclosed trailer to use as a 2nd shed 😂
Check the tax ramifications first. In Texas, any structure on wheels is not subject to property tax, but your rules might be different. I've seen a farm trailer pulled up and touching an unfinished house. They turned it into a fancy porch with a cover and everything, but since it had wheels, no tax.
@@dchall8 everything possible in australia is taxed lol.
started head bobbing at 2:50
What is the sand for?
Topdressing and levelling
Mate can you pm me as I need to purchase one of your golf flags and cup and some products
Its on his website. He has a shop there. Lawntips.net
Shoot me an email mate, can’t PM on TH-cam
Where’s that akubra
Clint has one on 😉
@@LawnTips true that, but you know what we want
I like you
I love you
@@LawnTips 😊
All of that massive roof and not a single solar panel, that's a damn shame.
I'd knock a fool out if I saw him dumping sand on top of the engine of any machinery I own - rental or not. What an amateur! If the bucket is wider than the spreader, like it is here, ya just go into the pile at an angle with the bucket and let any overflow happen at the front - never on top of an engine. That'd be the last time I would loan or rent anything to some gomer who treats equipment like that.
