The ULTIMATE New LAWN Guide, So in todays video we set off on our journey for our ultimate lawn and first of all we remove the old lawn by using a turf cutter, then we bring in fresh rootzone and move that around starting to get our lawn seed bed in order then we add the field compost to give it some nice body and nutrient retention, then we mix that all in, This video is a 4 part series and maybe more on the quest to produce the ultimate lawn.

Superb that you've passed the 20k subscribers.. brilliant. Next time the grab man drops the sand off, ask him to spread it as far as he can with the grab bucket, save you (or AN Other) having to barrow it to where he could easily reach. Re the leveling of the lawn base, I saw a tip about using a ladder lay on the ground with a rope attached and pulling it around back and forth. Not having a landscape rake, I bought a 450x20x3 mm strip of steel from Wickes and bolted it level to the top edge of my regular rake, knocked the overseeding down to the roots and my top dressing went in a treat. Lawn looks PDG now

No doubt that’ll come up lovely. I use green waste on flower beds and it’s made a huge difference after a couple of seasons of improving the soil. It’s very rich in nutrients so I’m sure that grass is going to romp away after germination! Great work and class on the subscribers. I remember last year when you were at 4K and pushing for more. Away from seeding, would you recommend the stihl petrol scarifier or is there a brand/model you’d go for if you were buying one tomorrow?

Just a quick question if you have time, I have quite a lot of very young broad leaf weeds, is it just the painstaking process of removing them (with a fork) or will the grass outgrow them.

Really interesting to see you are using so much sand. Your videos related to the use of rootzone have been really educational. I'm planning on digging out my front lawn to 6-8 inches and replacing the soil with 75% 5 mm 70/30 rootzone (drainage) and 25% 3mm fine loam soil (water retention and binding surface structure. Does that sound like a good plan for optimal long term results?

I was a little worried about that. Thanks a lot. I have the option swap the 70/30 with 50/50 or increase the loam soil amount as that has added compost in it but i'll have to check on what percentage. I think it may be as high as 25%.

@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert Just checked out their webpage and its back to £42 a tonnes ish. For some reason after the updated website the prices rocketed, but an error i assume. cheers Daniel, and I'm looking forward to the remainder of the series, as i want to do this type of renno on my front lawn which is a similar size.

Now I’m totally confused, why do you use sand, instead of topsoil? I always thought that you had to use topsoil to assure a good turf base.? As you say yourself, sand is inert. I’m not criticising just want to know the reasons behind the choice. Can I suggest you do a video which explains the features / benefits / drawbacks of all of the different types of fertiliser and other products you use. What to watch out for and where and when to use.

@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert many thanks Daniel. My lawns are full of weeds and anyone is ask say you can’t spray a new lawn till it reaches 6 months! Your the first to say WEEDOL can be used from 6 weeks. Thanks again. I’m super cautious and I checked the WEEDOL instructions and sure enough they say 8 weeks..
