This is honestly the most helpful video I’ve found online as it’s specific to new builds! I’d honestly given up on our front lawn as it’s in a terrible state, but went to b&q earlier today to buy top soil & a lawn levelling lute after watching your video this morning. Grass seed & other products you named are on order! Thank you so much ☺️
Nice one! I hope it works out well! It takes a while for the lawn to look half decent, a good month or two. But after that, you'll be glad you did it! Hope all goes well 😁
Great video that quickly explains all the key steps! Literally just done this entire process today myself, although not able to level quite like this. I used the A1 premiership pro too, so interested to see how my lawn journey compares in the coming weeks. Keep up the great content!
Nice one! Glad the videos have come in handy. With the way the sun passes across my garden in the spring, half is almost ready for its first cut and the other half is lagging behind! Hoping to cut it in a couple of weeks for the first time. I'll get a video out when I do 👍🏻
Thanks for the tip on levelling with top soil as opposed to compost and the reasons why! Duly noted! You're right about the leveller though, not cheap!
Hello, great advice on your channel. What's better for levelling a garden with bare soil that has been rotavated? The Landzie or a timber straight edge? Which will do the best job? Thank-you 👍
Really nice videos that will help a lot of people. You’ve done fantastic work with your back garden 👏 One question though, wasn’t the ground a bit too wet for scarifying? It looks really muddy when your doing it. Been planning/trying to get mine done and over seeded for about the last 5 weeks before trees are in full leaf, but every time I get the free time to do it ⛈️ 😔
Cheers 👍🏻 Possibly was a tad wet, but it was the only good few days I had to work with around work which was a pain! It had dried up enough though for it to be ok. Even today it is chucking it down out there! It's hard to catch the right window with the weather!
How did you find the Westlands top soil? I have incredibly tight access to my house so always have to buy individual bags but never tried Westlands before. Great video. I'm hoping my renovation will start in the next couple of weeks or so
I would definitely recommend it. It's pretty cheap and the bags definitely make life easier. Most people don't have space for a huge bulk bag or a way to wheelbarrow it through (which if often back breaking if you do it for long enough!). Good luck with your renovation! 😁
Hey mate - can you link to the landscaping fabric you used please? I'm getting ready to seed a lawn in early April and think this could help keep the birds off it! Thanks
I just got it from my local garden centre. If you pop down to yours, they should be stocking them at this time of year. If not, Amazon is a good place, just make sure it’s the white stuff
I followed all your vids as I was doing garden renovation at same time as you. My lawn has all settled from flat to sunken in and needs to be re leveled. I see you used the bags of topsoil rather than getting bulk bags, do you think its cheaper buying small bags or is it just you don't have to wheel barrow it all in?
Much cheaper with the smaller bags this time! I have a few bumps, nothing too major. I bought just over 20 bags, but ended up with loads left over. It was surprising how far each bag went with the bumps in the lawn only being shallow. Not having to use a wheel barrow was definitely a bonus too! It gives me flashbacks to the 5 tonnes last year! 🤣
Another great video mate I followed your steps in my back garden last Saturday and covered with landscape fabric no sign of germination as of yet ive used the premiership pro how long would it be before you would start to see some germination?
@@stevenbaldwin7241 I reckon in the next week you should start seeing some germination. Be patient and hopefully you will see some. Just make sure the ground isn’t to dry. Give it a light water if so.

I’m looking forward to doing this to my lawn

It took a bit of convincing in my house to justify the lawn lute! I started with, "Imagine a world..." 🤣
@@NoviceGardenerHaha! Re-watching this classic for prep this year!
Great video
Nice one!
You have inspired me, thank you :)
Nice one! 😁
It doesn't feel as huge of a task once you start!
😊top job mate looks fab
Cheers! 😁
Does the old grass come back through the new top soil? Or does the depth of new top soil plus the scalping kill the old grass off?

Thank-you 👍
What was the 2 bades for 1 and 2 as i have the same machine thanks Colin 😊
get some properla masonary creme on that brickwork , and it will remove the white salts
Great video, thank you for showing and sharing. Can I ask where you sourced the lute leveller? Thank you.
Nice one!
I picked the lawn lute up from Amazon.
Hi there
Love your videos. So insightful. I need to do this myself but worried it won’t be ready for summer. How long before it’s good to go again?
It’s good to crack on now 👍🏻
Nice work! 👍
Nice one! 👍🏻
How many bags do you need per m^2

Hi what landscaping fabric did you use? is it the same as the frost protection stuff?
Nice video. Any chance you could add some weblinks to the equipment you’re using?
It's all B&Q and garden centre stuff (except for the levelling lawn lute - that was from Amazon - Lanzie Lawn Lute).
@@NoviceGardener thanks
How long did you keep the landscape fabric on for?
About 2 weeks

Nice video, where did you get the sheets from to cover your lawn at the end? Thanks
Thanks 👍🏻
I picked them up from my local garden centre - £5 per roll.
@@NoviceGardener thank you.
Eeee....my lawn is about 8x bigger size...maybe hire this job out? Lol
Another great video mate I followed your steps in my back garden last Saturday and covered with landscape fabric no sign of germination as of yet ive used the premiership pro how long would it be before you would start to see some germination?
Mines exactly the same. Put seed down Saturday and no germination yet
@@MxWoody had a check yesterday we have lift off 🚀
@@MxWoodyHi mate how's the grass looking now I was thinking of getting some. I put down some "spear and Jackson's" over a week ago nothing as yet 😀👍
@@stevenbaldwin7241 I reckon in the next week you should start seeing some germination. Be patient and hopefully you will see some. Just make sure the ground isn’t to dry. Give it a light water if so.
@@ashington3212 how’s yours looking now means really taken off now.
what boards are you using to edge around the lawn ?
They're just pressure treated boards - I uploaded a video showing how I installed them earlier this year.
What setting did you use on the spreader?
18 for the grass seed. The bigger setting is best with the long shape of the grass seeds.
Soil in my area like that is $9 a bag 🤦🏼
It seems to vary massively depending on where you live. I think I have just fell lucky!
The quality of new builds is an absolute disgrace.
HI, where did you get your Landzie lawn leveler from? I'm having a hard time sourcing it in the UK.
Garden Imports website - delivery is pretty quick usually too
