Mate you must be the busiest bloke out at the moment haha got the kids on the go and the little one and the lawn reno... Keep up the awesome work mate...
Never thought I'd ever care about lawns, just turned 30 and bought my first home now i understand why a lot of guys care so much, love seeing the results after a mow, now i want a more healthier looking lawn 😅
Don’t ever think that your videos are too long. I know that they’re probably a pain in the ass to edit, but you could chuck up daily 40 minute videos of you just doing landscaping and yard work and we would watch it. You know your stuff mate, thanks for taking the time to teach your lawn wisdom 🧙♂️
Ahhh satisfying! Been looking forward to this. That scalping mower was absolutely slammed, maybe they should put air ride on them so you can lay the frame on the ground with a flick of a switch 🤔
From the UK so these grasses you have are new to me. Petrified watching you rip into it so deep 😮 A little like using a koro topmaker with the scalp. But our grasses would never return without an overseed. Great vid 👍
I came out in a cold sweat when you started scalping Ben Lol, obviously it needed it and what a great job. Being able to use the wee tractor rather than barrow must be so much easier too. Great video and the wee pup loves the sand too.
You're giving that lawn exactly what it needed. No doubt it'll look great in a month or so. Just got done core aerating my lawn with a 25" Clausen Powerseer and it felt like it ran me over when I got finished. Maybe next year I'll go with the stand on stinger for a few extra bones.
Great vid mate! Love it yew! can't wait to get my reno on! just holding out until we get some warmer weather! its been soo cool down in Adelaide hills, SA.
Man I love your vids. Been watching you for a long time now. I wish I had all the toys bro. But just wondering why you can’t use your tractor bucket to spread the sand instead of hand shoveling everything. I’m sure there’s a reason. I’m a fescue guy that has a patch of Bermuda that I’m really wanting to topdress and cut lower if possible. Keep up the good work big guy.
For Core plugs, if the soil is dry enough, put your mulch plug in the mower, and mulch them in to the lawn, for a redistribution of the material back into the lawn.
Thanks for the vid...going to look awesome...Lot of work made easier with all that machinery...Some waste concrete blocks from your local batching plant make good bunkers to store your sands and soils...
Howzit. Did you watch the game last Saturday with the fam? What a game! Anyhoo...great vid, yet again. Can't remember, did you put down Acelepryn already, or now a good time with reno?
This really works! I recently did a cut-down version of this process on my Kikuyu and 4 weeks later bang it is so good it's popping. Best it's ever been. Will do it once a year.
Top job , I did mine about 4 weeks ago and I was keen to see you manoeuvre the aerating machine , it’s a back breaker , not sure if it was the fast forward footage but you made it look easy !!!
Great content Ben, I'll save this one to do a mini Reno later, I like how it's easy to follow, great vid mate. I need to get the retaining wall in first though.
Hi Ben great vid, can you explain the difference between flail blades and the verticut blades you use when dethatching a lawn and why you would use each one? cheers
I am reno-ing my 100m2 1 Year Old Kikuyu with Electric mower and Bi-weekly Compost Bin lol (from 10-15cm). Looking at all these equipment has been triggering :D. Hoping to see some part of the property done with limited domestic equipments, but these videos are very informative and satisfying. Keep up the great work!
@Lawn Tips Would you say it's better to mow lawns first before scarifying? At our work, we have been scarifying first, then mowing down on second lowest level (collecting all the thatch with push mowers). Once that's done we do a second run over on the lowest setting on the mowing height to scalp it. What do you think? Our turf is Santa Ana variety.
When you cut your lawn, do you follow a pattern of sorts? Sometimes you went side to side, up and down, and also perimeter. Thanks for making great content. Please keep it up.
Hey man love the channel. Your new digs are certainly going to keep you busy for a month or two. 😋 Q. My Kikuyu lawn is nowhere as big as yours but this year for some reason onion weeds have set up shop. What's the best over the counter stuff to use to deaded them. ✌🏻
Great video ben, love the longer format 20-25mins. Question I am about to do my lawn reno as well, I was going to put some granular fertiliser down before the reno or is it better to do after?
Keen to see how this turns out. When we used to do this on the golf course it came back so mint everytime. Trialed it on a Kik lawn last weekend, not as heavy,no top dress will be interesting to see how it recovers too. I’m a big fan of top dress, just had none left.
If I am just scarrifying with no top dress, how important is it to get seed down quickly? Will the dirt start to close up in a few days or weeks? Loving this series !
Such a theraputic watch. Simple explanations and examples and great video skills. Fantastic vidya. How important is top dressing in the grand scheme of things, is it purely just to get lawn levels flat?
Great video loving the longer times and the over head shots. Would you recommend hitting the grass with different herbicides all in a row before renovation or spread it out to not stress the lawn?
Fantastic! Thank you! Best actual, complete video on how to do this I’ve been able to find in Oz. Hoping I might get a reply to a couple of questions. 1) I have very thick empire zoysia (7-8cm to dirt level in places) and very uneven from when it was put down over 2 years ago. Can I scalp and scarify it to maybe 3cm and top soil 2cm so that 1cm is still protruding? 2) Is say 70/30 (organic soil/sand) better for leveling out deeper uneven areas or is a 30/70 still your recommended approach? 3) Your leveling rake looks the goods. What brand is it and where did you get him? 4) Love the Dachshund 👍 Cheers
Mate you must be the busiest bloke out at the moment haha got the kids on the go and the little one and the lawn reno...
Keep up the awesome work mate...
Haha definitely keeping busy
@@LawnTips hey mate, how thick can you go with tif tuf ? :) awesome vid !
@@xavierguthrie3358 tif tuf is couch and he said you can go this thick with couch and kikuyu
Never thought I'd ever care about lawns, just turned 30 and bought my first home now i understand why a lot of guys care so much, love seeing the results after a mow, now i want a more healthier looking lawn 😅
That pup stole the show! Haha love it
Long videos are way better. 20-25min like a TV episode is more enjoyable and puts the steps together on a project.
Appreciate the extra editing etc work to make the longer vids too!
X3
What a guy! Sandpit in the front yard for the kids. 👌
I love how your puppy is running around having the time of his life! Great vid as always!
Hell yeah, dad just made a beach for me! This is the life!
my cats would think i made them a huge litter box and just poop in it
Ben, y’all have 12 acres and you got the tiniest dog ever 😂 super cute though. Those ears 😍
11:29 When I go to Palm Springs Ca. they will scalp the lawn just like that in the fall and reseed with a rye grass for the winter.
Nice Ben Sims.
👌👌👌
Don't get me wrong, I'm here for the reno but mate, loving the Synth vibes on the music
hope this gets you motivated Stu
Thanks Mitch
I dream of a gator, tractor, and a ride on mower one day!! I can still live in hope! haha.
love you videos, when i get the bell notification i get excited
Kikuyu baby! Woooooooooooo! The time has come! So good to see the renno kick off 👍
This man is a serious hard worker great job BTW 👍👍👍👍
hmmm, i need that ride on
OMG! The doxie is soooo cute!!!
Wow I’m uk based and had a diy go using 2 ton 50/50 over 330sqm perennial ryegrass and thought I was being generous !!!!!
YES BEN! we need more drone footage from above. looks great!
Quality vid. Nice shots. Awesome content. 👍
Never thought a 22 year old would be so excited to watch a lawn getting renovated 😅
Reno days are the best boiii 🏖
Tunes on point once again 👌🏼
Coring was the best thing I did for my shopping lawn. Almost zero water run off and no more dead patches in summer
Can't wait to see the end result...
How could someone dislike this video love the videos can’t wait to see the end
Can't believe you did that top dress by yourself.
I did 150sqm and was cooked.
I reckon that kik will take 6 weeks to really break through.
Loved that Vid mate 💚 Awesome Work 👍
Worth the wait, also i enjoy these longer videos
Great video. Don't worry about the length. Really enjoyed it.
I have a short haired brown dachshund name schnitzel aswell from the same book, classic
Loved the longer vid keep up the great work champion you’ll land yourself a tv gig one of these days offer is still out there for as an off sider
Awesome stuff man, loving little Schnitty in the vids 😂 I can’t wait to see you cylinder mowing again 👍
Loving the ear protection! You are having too much fun, thanks for sharing it with us

you're so cute with the dog in the arm like circa 2001 Paris lol. great job on the lawn :)
Soundtrack is on point!
I'm petrified you're gonna run over your dog mate lol 👌 All the best my son.
Love it!! I’ve been looking forward to this video since you moved in!
Thank you for explaining the sand. That was one of my biggest questions. I know what to ask for now and how to sus it out. 👍
From the UK so these grasses you have are new to me. Petrified watching you rip into it so deep 😮
A little like using a koro topmaker with the scalp. But our grasses would never return without an overseed. Great vid 👍
Renoooo time. Can’t wait to see how she turns out mate !
Yesssss been waiting for this badboy a while now. Cant wait to see the progression. Sick job Benny boy
Love the drone shots
I came out in a cold sweat when you started scalping Ben Lol, obviously it needed it and what a great job. Being able to use the wee tractor rather than barrow must be so much easier too. Great video and the wee pup loves the sand too.
Mate you got a lot of gear!! YT must be paying the bills pretty well👍 keep up the good work
Luckily all the John Deere stuff is sponsored!
Lawn Tips ahh righto , nice one man I’ve been following u for a while, your doing great!
Hell yeah! Been waiting for this vid!
Love this channel well done mate!
Love a Bluebird workout “Maaaan” they sux! 🤣😂🤣😂
So bad bro, woke up the next morning with a kinked neck 😂
Aww yeah boi!! It’s kik time baby, yeww! 🤌
Job well done!
Wish you uploaded this 3weeks ago when I did my Reno on zoysia. Oh well next year will be better
Nothing better to Reno then walk out with the next machine to find the snag digging holes in the fresh Reno 🤣 snags are the best 🤣
Is a good work, the grass is better.😁
Brilliant, lots of good advice thanks
Awesome video mate!
Good Job mate..Love those Drone shots u can really see the cores
I love this channel so much. Keep it up, and you’ll keep growing. Much love
Can you give us more information about how we can re plant the scarifyings to create new lawn. Cheers
Great work Ben, wow that lawn level did a really good job on such a thick layer of sand!
You're giving that lawn exactly what it needed. No doubt it'll look great in a month or so. Just got done core aerating my lawn with a 25" Clausen Powerseer and it felt like it ran me over when I got finished. Maybe next year I'll go with the stand on stinger for a few extra bones.
Great vid mate! Love it yew! can't wait to get my reno on! just holding out until we get some warmer weather! its been soo cool down in Adelaide hills, SA.
Nice to see an actual Lawn Tip Vid.
You know, about lawns (not a property). I like your property, but I’m here for the LAWN TIPS!
Man the lawn is gonna look so good
Awesome vid. I have 1.5acres and your vids since moving have been really informative as I’m dealing with a bunch of mongrel grass. Love it!
Awesome vid mate.
I watched a few of these videos the other day, and started saying “gday mate, welcome to another lawn tip vid” 🤦🏻♂️😂
Man I love your vids. Been watching you for a long time now. I wish I had all the toys bro. But just wondering why you can’t use your tractor bucket to spread the sand instead of hand shoveling everything. I’m sure there’s a reason.

This video is amazing, keep up the great work!
Thanks for the vid...going to look awesome...Lot of work made easier with all that machinery...Some waste concrete blocks from your local batching plant make good bunkers to store your sands and soils...
2mm corrugated sand works well
Also when you do the larger Reno’s you should buy a towable lawn level or a drag to spread that sand
Howzit. Did you watch the game last Saturday with the fam? What a game!
Anyhoo...great vid, yet again. Can't remember, did you put down Acelepryn already, or now a good time with reno?
Do more landscape blade cam vids please I loved that
Great video mate. Really look forward to your updates!! Brilliant project and great piece of land to work on over coming years.
This really works! I recently did a cut-down version of this process on my Kikuyu and 4 weeks later bang it is so good it's popping. Best it's ever been. Will do it once a year.

learnt heaps bro
Hey Ben, always watch your videos. Just wondering what fertiliser(s) you’re going to put down? Thanks 😊
Can't wait to see how it turns out! I also only have well water, so I basically have a great lawn in the spring and fall.
I am reno-ing my 100m2 1 Year Old Kikuyu with Electric mower and Bi-weekly Compost Bin lol (from 10-15cm). Looking at all these equipment has been triggering :D.
Hoping to see some part of the property done with limited domestic equipments, but these videos are very informative and satisfying.

Q. My Kikuyu lawn is nowhere as big as yours but this year for some reason onion weeds have set up shop.
What's the best over the counter stuff to use to deaded them. ✌🏻
Watching from Davenport Iowa USA 🇺🇸. John Deere is on strike,hope you don't need parts anytime soon
Awesome vid learning heeps about lawn care. Just a quick question is this a yearly maintenance you will perform on the lawn?
Great video ben, love the longer format 20-25mins. Question I am about to do my lawn reno as well, I was going to put some granular fertiliser down before the reno or is it better to do after?
Watched this a year ago when i last done this. I definitely need a core, i watch the water run off downnthe hill ontop of the grass.
Keen to see how this turns out. When we used to do this on the golf course it came back so mint everytime.
Trialed it on a Kik lawn last weekend, not as heavy,no top dress will be interesting to see how it recovers too. I’m a big fan of top dress, just had none left.
If I am just scarrifying with no top dress, how important is it to get seed down quickly? Will the dirt start to close up in a few days or weeks? Loving this series !
Last Aussie 😁. All happening at the Lawn Ranch 🤠
Such a theraputic watch. Simple explanations and examples and great video skills. Fantastic vidya.
How important is top dressing in the grand scheme of things, is it purely just to get lawn levels flat?
Getting me keen to do mine now! 🤣
Great video loving the longer times and the over head shots. Would you recommend hitting the grass with different herbicides all in a row before renovation or spread it out to not stress the lawn?
Ben's new best friend is loving been apart of the videos by the looks
Haha he loves hanging out
@@LawnTips just watch out for the poo on the lawn it's a constant battle also start blowing the dogo with the blower my dog loves it 🤣
😂😂
Fantastic! Thank you! Best actual, complete video on how to do this I’ve been able to find in Oz. Hoping I might get a reply to a couple of questions.
1) I have very thick empire zoysia (7-8cm to dirt level in places) and very uneven from when it was put down over 2 years ago. Can I scalp and scarify it to maybe 3cm and top soil 2cm so that 1cm is still protruding?
2) Is say 70/30 (organic soil/sand) better for leveling out deeper uneven areas or is a 30/70 still your recommended approach?
3) Your leveling rake looks the goods. What brand is it and where did you get him?
4) Love the Dachshund 👍
