Aerating Scarifying and levelling out a bumpy lawn
Рет қаралды 131,933
Күн бұрынToday I am in Holywood co Down to carry out Aerating Scarifying and levelling out a bumpy lawn. The lawn was first of all hollow core aerated and then we carried out scarification to remove moss and thatch. We then filled in holes in the lawn with westland topsoil / topdressing and seeded these areas out.
Hollow core Aeration is used to remove thatch from a lawn and relieve compaction and is an important step in lawn care.
Scarification is to remove moss and thatch from your lawn and lets the lawn breathe.
We only topdressed a small section of this lawn to level out an area and to remove bumps from the lawn. The lawn was also fed with an Autumn lawn treatment and treated for moss.
These methods can be copied if you want to DIY it, or if you have any other questions on how to scarify or aerate and level out a bumpy lawn please leave me a comment down below

You need to go back like about a month later and follow up to see how your work has helped. Explaining what scarification does is good but to actually see it in action. aeration is good for damp grounds, you need to aerate it, great. But then follow up and say last month we aerated, this month the ground is great. Last month we levelled it off with top soil, this month we’re back and we can see the level lawn, and it’s greener. Before and after (perhaps 1 month). Hope it helps love the vids.

Hi - thanks for this and your other videos. They’re becoming serious watching for me! My wife thinks it’s quite sweet ! I have an issue. We removed and stumped a small tree from the middle of our lawn. We filled the circular space left with soil (about 2.5m diameter) and turfed it. Subsequently it’s sunk leaving about a 5cm indent in the lawn. Very noticeable to the eye and mower. Do I have to lift the turf and refill with soil? Or can I top dress it with 5cm depth of soil, foot pressing etc and then reseed? This would be my preference but I’m not sure how the seeding will interact with the turf below. Many thanks for your insight.

Can you talk grass types one day? I finally got some rain but thinking about it I live on the south facing side of a hill with sloped lawns mostly on clay soil. Only the lower part of the lawns get shade from the garden fence, trees and my top lawn shade from a tree and the house. Im getting increasing amounts of sun, less and less rain. I reordered all my grass seed having realised I might do better to order AM24 premiership pro grass which is supposed to be a bit more drouģht resistant with its deeper roots but wonder if you would mix types using say different grass for shady areas or flat areas? Or areas that get a bit more foot traffic? Just curious. Oh and Im following a lot of your advice except I cant yet aerate, ground has been far too hard and dusty for that so far but that looks set to finally change. Been like this since April for me.TY.

Hi Robbie, I never see you use any type of moss killer before you scarfie , is it just OK to go ahead and regularly scarifie with having to use moss killer? That's again, James.

Why would you chose top soil for leveling the lawn when sand is more suitable for this kind of a job? Golf greens are 80 to 100 % sand so it would work nicely...

Why would you use sand, it provides nothing to the lawn
@tomvoh 3 жыл бұрын
@@Premier_lawns_official IMHO, ff leveling is the main purpose, I would go for sand since it cannot be compressed so easily. Also it brings more air, nutrients and water for the roots.

Hi Robbie great video as always, my scarrifier has two drums one with tines and one with blades, always been told to use the tine drum but guys like yourself use the blades, is it just down to how harsh you want to be on the lawn or do these drums have different functions? Cheers 👍

he has a scarifier, most likely a domestic one and some come with 2 interchangable sets of teeth, one is like fingers (tines) and the other is the rectangle piece of metal(blades). my electric bosch has the blades. i imagine the spring tines pull out moss to an extent but the blades allow the deeper cut into the soil.
