More great tips Matt - thanks. I use a knife from an old cutlery set to get weeds out of the lawn and always dig or hoe those in the border. I think you have such good cultural methods of suppressing weeds you could reduce pesticide use.
Have learnt a lot from you Matt. Aerated and scarified last weekend. Pre-seed fertilising this weekend and will be over seeding next weekend 👍 Lawn is only 4m by 8m, so not the biggest of spaces!
Garden Lawncare Guy bought all the stuff from your links and ready to over seed, just one question how long after using the Nutrigrow 6-9-6 Pre-seeder can I sow my seed ?
I’ve been watching your videos for a few weeks now and yesterday I got myself outside and did two passes with the scarifier and one with the aerator, before overseeding. I pulled out 3 large wheelie bins of moss and crud. I put some 4 in 1 feed down also. I ran out of seed so I’ve just bought a bag of your hard wearing lawn seed. I’m not sure whether to spread the top soil over the top? And I have some iron sulphate and seaweed, shall I put that down now or wait a few days? I’m worried about burning the little bit of grass that’s left!
Hi neil if you have applied 4in1 then you don't need any more iron or anything else it's all I'm there. Also check the label for the time to wait until putting new seed down but I would reccomend to wait a little bit until using the seed if you used 4in1 and definitely do not put more 4in1 or iron on the new seeds as they can damage the new seedlings. Only water.
Scarified top dressed and overseeded last Monday. Bit of grass coming through, though it’s been cold and cloudy so hopefully a bit more will be coming through over the next few days. Don’t want to be reseeding again if I can help it
Funny year this year im finding. Need some more of that sun! Not much rain either. Hopefully it doesn't get to cold over next few days. Watering mine 3x daily atm
Great video - I recently purchased the electric spreader, looking forward to putting some fert down with it in a few weeks. I thought a good video idea, would be information on understanding what hollowed cores tell you about your lawn / soil (for instance I did my aeration last week, and noticed there wasn't a lot thatch in my soil, but there also wasn't a lot of root depth)
thank you so much for all the tips and instructions on how to care for our lawns. I recently moved to a new house with a fully neglected garden. After watching TH-cam videos i decided to scarify the garden (not dethatching), removed weeds with a knife, and got seeds 1 for 3 mix from the supermarket. Also got the sandals with the spikes and will do the aeration in the next few days. Weather is going to be raining all next week with temperatures between 13C in the day and 3C at night! Is the temperature warm enough to overseed? Are all composts the same? Can I use compost for flowers for the lawn? How many liters per sq meter? Anything else I should know about as a beginner? Thank you in advance!
Great videos, you have got yourself a new subscriber! If i use the hollow tine aerator and then over seed and top dress will the seeds that fall into the holes from the plugs be OK being so far down below the lawn or should I do a light top dress to fill the holes then reseed and top dress. I am a bit confused. 👍
hi matt need to over seed my lawn did do it last year but gave up with the amount of birds that nose divided to eat the seed any tips on keeping bird away cheers
Hi Matt, I have a Rolawn Medallion seed for my existing lawn and I will be over seeding in a few weeks. I want a more luxurious mix for over seeding and was wondering what seed you might recommend to use. I could go Rolawn ornamental but do you have an alternative seed option e.g. from your growing containers that will work and blend with my existing medallion lawn? My cutting heights vary between 13mm to 25mm (depending on conditions) with an electric Hayter rotary mower. Much appreciated and thanks in advance. Dave
@@GardenLawncareGuy thanks Matt. I’ve just put an order through for 5kg of the premium front lawn seed. Thanks for the recommendation. It’s similar to the Rolawn ornamental mix but a lot more cost effective. This 5kg mix will allow me to overseed the front and back lawns.
Hi first the granular base - dark green lawn feeds for 10-12weeks. Then for best results the liquids every 4weeks Green Machine and seaweed plus. Https://gardenlawncareguy.com/shop/fertiliser/glg-spring-summer-dark-green-fertiliser/
I just scarified my lawn and put top soil down with seed about 16 days a go and it hasnt even germinated, think its been too cold, im up near newcastle. Might have to wait another week and re do it
I’d give it another couple of weeks yet, it might start to show through. I’m in a similar position, some grass is just starting to come up, and some areas are filling in. Obviously you might need to, but don’t give up hope yet
My turf was laid back end of October, ive found that the ground underneath was very hard. I've aerated the lawn and have been watering to stop it drying out.should I use a fertiliser, if so what type
Hi Matt just re seeded my lawn? Am I too late to re seed? I did scarification and aeration prior to re-seeding. I used the wizz spreader after watching your video. What I can do from here to increase chance of germination of seeds. I used the A1 lawn seeds thanx for the video 😊
@@GardenLawncareGuy thank you for the reply, watering the lawn twice daily (morning and evening) due to work commitment to keep the soil as moist as possible some rain expected in coming days to help with watering, keeping the fingers crossed for the sun and hoping to see the young grass soon 😊.
Hi, thanks for the video. I linked to your site through Premier lawns site. Can I ask where you got the roller for the top soil. I have 300 square meters to cover and like the look of that. Tried with landscaping rake but was tough to get even spread
hey Mark, I'll be using your guide to start over with my lawn, so this weekend I'll have a date with a shovel to remove the exiting grass. Got fine top sail bags ready too. Your idea with the waited planks for levelling will come in very handy. I have lots of good seed but I've decided last minute to order turf for quick results. Is planting turf straightforward , got any advice ?
What top dressing do you recommend? Rolawn or other brands or are they all pretty much the same if the composition of sand and soil elements are all the same?
Hi Matt, new subscriber here. Great channel, thank you! Quick question - I’ve just scarified and mowed the lawn, over seeded and top dressed. I know I need to keep it moist for a couple of weeks until it starts to germinate but how long after new seed has started to grow can you apply a fertiliser/feed to ensure the rest of the lawn is healthy and ready for summer? Thanks!
Matt, I tried to buy the swardman manual aerator through your link yesterday but it said "out of stock and unknown whether more is coming". Any suggestions on what I can do other then just wait? I'm keen to get it asap so i can do a full repair before summer. Thanks in advance. 👍
Only thing you can do is order one on backorder to get on the list as they are selling out upon arrival, limited supply coming in but it is coming in one shipment at a time👍

Really excited to see you've got the Easy Whizz Spreader, I've just had a bag of your All American Seed delivered and have no idea what settings to use on the spreader. Could you advise? Love your channel.
@@ca353 I recently purchased the All American Dark Green too and used the Easy Whizz Spreader to spread the seeds. I'm doing a complete renovation and used the 5.75 setting and went over twice. It gave a nice even spread. I'm not sure what setting you'll use if you were over seeding though. I found the little guidance that came with the Easy Whizz really helpful as a general guide.
Hey, sorry my girlfriend is due a baby right now so I am having difficult to keep up with all comments. If in doubt for spreaders I always set them lower and do multiple passes in different directions till my desired quantity is used up.
Great video pal, I was going to start my lawn treatment next week but weather now says dry but top temp 7 degrees and -1 at night. would you recommend postponing until warmer? or can i scarify,aerate,overseed in these temps?
Hi I havent seen any contradicting views on that topic and common practice for dressing to cover seed to aid moisture retention, improve seed to soil contact and reduce take from birds. I'm talking a thin dressing layer here not buring them under topsoil
Hi just subed checked all your videos please can you recommend a good spring feed , tried the 4in.1 last year but Burt my lawn last year also will the wizz do to apply your recommendation . Thanks
They are high maintenance lawns aren’t they makes me wonder if they are worth it sometimes. On a critical note I was surprised you sprayed the weeds in your border I would have dug them out the less chemicals the better in my opinion.
Can I scarify and aerate now and use pre seed fertilizer now and then overseed later in the spring. I have the All american one or is best to do it all at the same time. My lawn needs some help at the moment. I have the Scotts spreader which I think you also used last year but the whizz is easier to store. Great video Matt.
Hi Stephen, yes you can do that if you wanted to reduces the size of the job. I do like scarify aerate then seed as the seed can drop into the little tracks of the scarify and aeration holes though.
Is there a seed for a front lawn which is not walked on which is fine ornamental type but tolerates a lot of sun (south facing) so needs to be drought resistant ?
@@GardenLawncareGuy Note that your site says 10kg bag available stock of 1 but not available when you come to pay for it. so I ordered a 5Kg bag.. hope it's enough.
Hello Matt, thanks for your videos! I have a question. My lawn has a rather large dip in it, probably about 4-5 inches deep at the deepest point, but it covers an area of about 15 sq metres. I’m not really sure how to go about this. Should I lift the turf off, level the soil underneath then relay the turf. Or do I just fill the depression with soil and then reseed? Thanks pete
You can lift it but I personally find it hard to do that. Soil in an use as opportunity to overseed the whole area not only the dip to blend in and thicken things up if needed
@@martinjames8836 ok so, pre seed fertilizer, despite the name, should be applied at the same time as, or a few days after seeding for best results. A seed has stored energy that it utilizes for initial growth. Only once roots have become established can it benefit from nutrients in the soil. That being said, applying it a few days prior to seeding shouldn't be a huge problem, as nutrients will remain in the soil for a few weeks after application. Starter fertilizer is a better less misleading name for it.
@@DodgyD4ve Thank you for the clarification, that was confusing me a lot! Starter fertilizer makes a lot more sense. Hoping for a bit more warmth now to get this seed down.
Yes, and I tackle mine early as it will spread very quickly. Even the smallest bit of root can produce a new plant so need to be sharp and quick there.
@@GardenLawncareGuy cheers, sadly it’s already all over the lawn, the curse of a new build lawn. I saw a video in American saying a product called Tenacity works well
water, mow, throw some fertilizer down with your hands and spread some seed. It doesn't need to be this complicated. Save yourself some money, because you don't need expensive fancy gadgets or specialised seasonal fertiliser.
