Great Matt. Well done. I put same seed down and left it almost 6 weeks. It was getting very long in parts. Just gave it a cut yesterday with rotary mower on high setting and its looking well. I have also just bought a cylinder mower but not yet used it yet. Thanks for your help.
Nice work Stephen 💪
Been crazy weather, all seems a month behind, May has been like April with the daily showers. Your lawn is amazing, just shows what some good preperation does.
That's some awesome progress in far from ideal conditions. Will green up like an emerald gemstone when the soil temps get a good bump. 👍🏻
Thanks mate
Top dressed my front lawn with the All American Seed. Very impressed with the germination and growth. The dark green colour is amazing. Keeping it at 40mm and managed to get the cylinder mower on it between all the rain we've been having. Crazy stripes! Now thinking of doing the same on the rear garden! Thanks for all the advice on this channel
Great feedback on the products, that's for that and happy you got good results. If you want to share some pics by email, Facebook group, Instagram they are always appreciated!
my first cut today looking great the dark green seed did the job. got some bare patches but will overseed those. really pleased thanks for all the advice
Cheers Matt. I’ve been watching your videos since the beginning of March and you inspired my to renovate my lawns. I bought your seed and Pre-seed fertiliser and followed your video recommendations. I watered all April and at one point didn’t think my seed was ever going to germinate. However, now things are looking amazing. I’m inspired to keep going. My friends are now remarking on how green and lush it’s looking and nicely striped. Thanks for all the tips. I’ll be keeping watching. 👍🏻😃
Awesome, thanks for the feedback Paul!
You know when someone mows a lawn and it looks better after it's been cut, they know what they are doing. I also think that having a bit of patience with the way the weather etc is this year is definitely a virtue. Nice job Matt.
Thanks bernie, patience is key this year always feel the pressure when I go heavy on the lawn as I want it to be good for my videos but sometimes nature will do its thing and we have to roll with it. Best to show the reality because even else is facing it!
For those patches i found break the soil up with a trowel really helped the new seeds come through when reeding
Yeah agreed the loose soil will help them root
Cheers from Switzerland where sun is not shining but at least lawn is getting plenty of water. Just reseed this afternoon but everything is so wet, soil is heavy, a real pain.
Hello, and welcome to the channel 👍
For a battery powered little rotary does stripe very well!! Also the noise it made in the Timelapse is the noise my brain makes when I see poa
Ha ha that was real time mate
Hi Mat, this is going to sound a stupid question, but could you do a video on how you cut grass please. I mean, where do you start? What’s the first line, then the next etc. I just go up and down mine and then maybe 90 degrees using the same method. You seem to go down a line and then go back down a line you’ve cut, then past the one you cut and go up the way.... Sorry if this is a newbie question. Just really interested. Thanks.
Yes I'm thinking about doing a stripes video, I do that pass thing to get double width stripes so the grass folds the same way to create a double stripe pattern
@@GardenLawncareGuy Ah great! yeah I get you. I’m looking forward to that now! 👍
A great job, it’s looks lovely. I admire your commitment.👍🏻
Thanks mate
Looking good Matt! Cant wait to see how Green the all American blend comes out this year :) WIll be watching
👍
I'm jealous... yours is looking better than mine. I put that fertiliser I bought off you down yesterday, so hopefully the lawn recovers from red thread and the bare spots fill out.
Weather is getting better too, so hopefully won't take too long.
Brought the premier grass seed and fert my god it has worked a treat !
Awesome 👌
That's a very nice green!
Cheers dave
Awesome videos! Keep em coming
Thanks 👍
I live in Liverpool. I scarified my two lawns. My back one in September last year. My front lawn in March this year. The last 3 weeks I have been lifting out loads of grass weed, just like you. Is this usual after scarification, (it’s the first time I have done this) or is this due to the weather conditions we have had in the north of England ? Finally I have just pulled out so much weed that I have top dressed and seeded about 1 square meter. Have I done the right thing in your opinion? Keep up your good work
really wet here in the Cambs area, unable to get a decent cut in before hopefully the warmer weather 😡
👍
Do you have a sand roller on the back of the rotary motor? If not.. How did you manage your stripes on the grass?
amzn.to/3wM1otO rotak has a built in roller in the machine
Looking good Matt. I bought seed and fertiliser via yourself and A1 instructions state that if overseeding the fertiliser should go down 2 weeks later. What do you think? Cheers.
Looking sick! I'm waiting to give mine it's first cut soon, I overseeded last month. Is it a good idea to put liquid seaweed on new grass?
I have just re-patched bear spots. Filled bear spots seeded top dresses with seed mixed in. Pressed down and watered. Today applied pre seed fertiliser after I hight cut in some areas of lawn. Fingers crossed for everything to fill in soon.
But how long do you water lawn for. Ground at moment pretty much saturated.
Nice one Steve if ground is wet may not need to water
@@GardenLawncareGuy not been watering when rain forecast. Now I will to wait a little longer. Before lawn mergers into one. Hope new seed with out compeat weed grass I might scarify again in June just to upset it lol 😂
I did mine around the same time, and going to give it the first cut tonight. I too have bald patches due to rain i think?!
Yeah but mainly the weather, think it will come good just might give a helping hand
I overseeded my lawn a month ago and mowed it for the first time a few days ago. Really please with the results. Bought a good summer fertiliser to put down soon and was also considering purchasing a wetting agent. Can you recommend a good wetting agent to use?
I am using this one from the shop Jody 👍gardenlawncareguy.com/product/abzorb-triple-action-wetting-agent-1l/
Hey, I cut mine a few weeks ago but noticed a few large bumps of soil in the, what was flat ground. Turns out I have about 3-4 spots where red ants have now taken up residence.
Any tricks to get rid of them so they don't infest and wreck my lawn?
Nice work , looking Good
Thanks john
Looking great! I’ve been following your videos the last few months and my lawn is looking so much better already. However, I still seem to have quite a bit of crabgrass in my lawn. Do you have any tips to help reduce/remove this or would you just suggest general maintenance and they should disappear over time? Thank you.
Pull it out, dig it out and reaeed, regular mowing then some tears they aren't all gone!
Quick one Matt.
POA is all over my lawn. Would seeding a tray like what you did and doing a transplant to the poa area after digging it out. What do you think?
Yes can work for quick repairs will do something similar, another option which I'm leaning more and more towards is a more rye grass based mixes that will film quickly and easily with mixed temperatures
Hi mate. Im going to top dress parts of my lawn where there are bare patches, similar to yours in this vid and also to level. Is it OK to use soil and compost with seeds mixed in as a dressing? I've used pre seed fertiliser about 4-5 weeks ago, seeded a couple of weeks later and the grass is looking nice and green.
Sounds good mate
Nice strips for a rotary
Yeah can't wait for cylinder to come back out!
👍
I have been advised not to apply iron to a newly seeded lawn. I bought the seaweed extract that you recommend. You have used it but it does contain added iron. I am hoping a second application will not harm the grass which is only 7 weeks old. I sowed it in early September and it is not coming through as well as the one I sowed in May understandably. I will overseed in spring.
A dilema...how can I fertilize what will then be a 7 month old lawn along with the overseeded areas?
Hi Janice the seaweed extract should not contain iron. The reason for not applying iron is it can dehydrate new grass seeds when germinating. If your lawn is 7 weeks old in autumn and it needs a boost you can use this now as a main feed which is exactly what i do gardenlawncareguy.com/shop/fertiliser/glg-autumn-dark-green-fertiliser/
@@GardenLawncareGuy Envii xtra contains added iron.
Your videos have been really educational and inspiring, keep up the good work! I was a novice a few months ago but have now learnt how to overseed, put down fertiliser etc. I’ve even purchased a scarifier/aerator to use this autumn/next spring.
I’m jealous of your lawn stripes so want to invest in a reasonably priced mower with roller. Can you recommend any?
Hi mate great to hear glad you have got into lawn care and learning all the time. I really enjoyed my rotak with the roller and battery. Something like this amzn.to/3cqryui
I don’t think that model comes with a rear roller? Unless I’m mistaken?
I thought all the Lis came with rear roller, mine is the wider version and it has one
Hi Matt, do you have any recommendations for lawn lutes?
Great job!
Thanks jeff
hey man, grass is looking mint. Im just looking for a petrol lawn mower as the one iv got is crap, struggles to cut even short grass. Any recommendations? whats your preference electric / petrol / battery?
You did a good job.i like it.
Thanks Mark
Nice work - how do you keep the birds away? Down in Essex they seem to eat any seed I put down like mad, or am I just not putting enough down?
Thought about netting or am I just overthinking it?
My renovation has worked ok, but the grass is crazy light green. Like fluorescent!
The same thing happened last year. It grows nicely, but it looks odd.
Any suggestions?
Could well be weed grasses tend to have light colour, but also new shoots from can be lighter too
Doesn’t appear to be weed grasses, but I know these can grow light.
The same has happened in my back garden which is new turf.
I’m wondering if liquid seaweed would help?
I'm really struggling with POA this year, it's come from know where. How can I kill it off without damaging my lawn? Any advice on any products available here in uk?
There aren't any Jon! Pull out, dig out, verticutting supposed to help but waiting to try that
Very difficult to get rid of once it spreads
I've got a fairly thick lawn but weed grasses everywhere. My wife can't see them at all, but I can spot a mile off. If I removed them all it would take forever and would leave gaps everywhere. What is the best approach to improve the get rid of all these grasses? I have the lawn set to high and I gentle rake them up before mowing but not sure if it's working or if I am doing something wrong. Does anyone have any tips?
Boss man...why you cut it so short? I always cut mine at the highest flymo setting and the grass looks banging especially with the lines in it. It would then definitely cover up the patches.
Just testing out different cut heights really, sometimes like the short tidy cut
Growing it long and rolling it down to cover the odd bald patch would be comparable to a comb over!
🤣
Nice lawn
Nice green 😁
Thanks siggi
Hi you said you add seaweed, can this be tomato feed ?
Hi Matt, Can I use thick'r lawn and 4 in 1 weed and feed in the same (April to September) 6 month period. Is it too late to use one of the products now? My lawn has a lot of moss and weeds and I am still trying to level my lawn by using up some old soil which I have dug up from garden and have sieved. What should I do and what order as I feel that I am running out of time this year? I live in the UK and have been using some tall fescue seeds as I have shaded areas in my lawn. Kind Regards.
Hello for moss control and great Autumn Winter colour I would reccomend using this gardenlawncareguy.com/shop/fertiliser/granular-fertiliser/glg-autumn-dark-green-fertiliser-10kg/ scarify or rake aggressively to remove what you can then apply that treatment.
Hi Matt, Thanks for your advice. After mowing and raking my lawn I want to apply more topsoil with compost and sand to improve my lawn level in the coming days. After working on my lawn levels can I use the product called thick'r lawn (which contains grass seed) this September? I then plan to use the 4 in 1 feed and weed next spring when the grass should to growing much faster. Does this sound like a decent plan?
Hi can I ask how long you wait to see if your seed will come through, I reseeded my lawn and two weeks on I see some coming through but not much. Should I put more seed down?
See what it looks like next week, weather is picking up now
Hey, that lawn looks amazing! What top dressing are you using? The link appears to be broken. Thanks 👌🏼
Thanks! Try this one gardenlawncareguy.com/product/70-30-top-dressing-bulk-bag-1000kg/
Did the overseeing at weekend with the seed and fertiliser I purchased off you. How long before I can do the 1st cut?
Thanks for that! Say around 2inches if you normally cut longer
My seed started germinating 2nd of May would mid June be the best time for the 1st cut and over-seed or not strong enough? I have a lot of patches as I think some seed rot because of the cold weather.
In the UK right now weather is ideal for seeding right now, if your blade is sharp you can cut and get them filled sooner rather than later to establish before summer
@@GardenLawncareGuy Great thanks i will give it a try.
had to re turf a section of our lawn.. poor drainage along with pesky chafer bugs 🐛
Touch wood never had chafers but had leathers year before last
@@GardenLawncareGuy had both 😳🦟🐛
Nightmare!
I feel your pain…starting to mow ever 3 days….
That will come up good 👍
The American seed link don't work
amzn.to/3knaoTd 👍
If in doubt, get the old Bosch out.
💪
I was going to say when you going to show the frontyard looking forward to the next video
Coming up soon 👍
An overseeded lawn will never be as nice in comparison to starting from scratch….
That damn Poa doesn’t help!
😞
Top stuff 👍
