19:10 "No BS on this channel!" Indeed, that's why we love you Dan! 😁

I'm from the US my friend the San Francisco Bay Area. I don't always understand what your saying but I really like your work ethic and appreciate your channel. My lawn is a big and it's a mess all over. I just did a major overhaul of my two front lawns.

what an absolute G you are Dan! love this

This did make me smile as I did the same to my front lawn 3 weeks ago (ground sunk a foot after the removal of a tree stump two years ago). I didn’t use the Pythagorean theorem to cut a square but it worked and very please with the result - it took 4 barrow loads of soil to raise it up to the correct level. Please keep the vids coming.

That was absolutely fascinating! I have never seen this before! Well done no BS on this channel!🤣🤣🤣

Excellent Daniel! I am going to do this on my rollercoaster lawn!

Dan, mind blown! Great work, and can see the other side of the road coming on really well. 👏👏👏

Awesome video. I like the way you explain that things are hard work. That's the truth if you want to do things properly. Subscribed!

Great work Daniel 👌

That is amazing Daniel. Superb mate

Top class that Dan.

Thank you… so useful, had always tried the easy way as you had mentioned and not had any luck.

Top work as always

Nice, clean edges!

Hard work but worth it, great job Daniel.

Thank you Daniel 👍🏻

Inspiring.

Great to see you using the 3 4 5 square. I used to use it for putting marquees up straight but it had never dawned on me to use on the lawn.

A masterclass in lawn leveling, from the master himself 📐👍

Cool👍

Awesome

Nearly spat my dinner out then you took me by surprise sitting there yabbering onn talking sat there in ya car seat nice intro

We used to fill in the bowlers footmarks on pristine cricket squares by lifting with a fork and inserting loam to get a level. Water very heavily after.

Many moons ago I had to help my dad lift two 40 meter bowling green edges that had sunk using the exact same method. Bloody hard work but he did pay me £20 a day so I was happy 😃

Your best video yet ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can’t work out if it was meant to be funny but certainly made me chuckle. Especially the bit with the perfect square corners, the 100cm divided into 4 (or 6?) and the gravel. Scarifying it in the rain at the end was a nice touch 👌

Great video, as always. I have some spots on my lawn where I will put your tips to work this weekend. I'm always eager to go outside and work on my lawn after watching you work. 😂 I'm curious if the gravel will actually improve the drainage. Keep up the good work.

A job well done Dan but that looked like hard work

Really enjoy your vids dan, and good to hear that your a😂 fellow turfy from myerscough. I was just thinking, i wonder if you might find that the gravel under there causes that square to drought off quicker in the sunshine. Time will tell!

Aup Daniel. Love your videos! The pythagoras thing would work if you went 9,12,15 as you can times them all by whatever you want. You just can't square them all as that's timesing them all by a different number

Danny. The lawn in the background, I think you worked on last week. Do the lawns either side belong to someone else or did you just worked on the middle bit?. Enjoyed this video. Still waiting for the weather to break here in Scotland.

Love your content pal. It’s inspired me this year to crack on. I’ve watched a few of your vids and I don’t ever see you aerating your lawns. How do you stand on this one?

5:50 another way to check if it's square is to buy a bag of square crisps and if you can fit one in each corner you no your well squared 👍

I need to level some hollows on my front lawn, in a new build, that the builder "turfed". I dread to think what's under it. Would you recommend to use gravel like you did here, or smaller gravel, or soil then relay the turf?

making me reconsider trying to level off my lawn this way 40m2. Mine was neglected before I moved in and is almost like a mound (lower at edges, higher in the middle) was planning on doing this and removing soil then placing back down level. If it wasnt as expensive for a skip I would bin the current grass and start fresh from seed. Also looking forward to your video on drainage for the garden/lawn. Sit lower than my neighbours garden and that one side usually pools up, french drain possibly the solution?

Hi Daniel, love the videos! Do you recommend a grass seed for lawns that are in shade for half the day? Going to overseed in a few weeks and want to get some ordered. Thanks

Pythagoras for those interested is x^2 + y^2 = z^2

danny that was absolutely brilliant ,, what a fab way to do that ,,, what was the box measurements if you don't mind me asking ?

This is amazing idea and I tend to do this!!! I wonder if that area will cause extra heat stress during dry season due to the stones being used underneath. It’s great drainage but when it’s dry, will the lack of water retention affect the grass??

5, 12, 13 - I think you mean 5, 12, 15. I'm a little drunk, and I thought I had gone blotto there for a mo. Thanks for the vid though, matey, cheers!

Hi Dan, I've just put about 20mm of topsoil down over my existing lawn after cutting it at 10mm, then overseeded. You mentioned the old grass would die off and produce Ethylene, killing new grass seed, do you think this will be an issue for me?

That's a first for me, gravel under turf! I guess it provides good drainage and the roots will migrate down. But why not use a free draining soil product?

Daniel, one thing I’m not sure about is how do you know that the 10cm measurement your using to get the turf level to is at the same level as the ground next to it? How do you avoid making it too high?

I have various undulating areas in my lawn, quite large so dealing with them the way you have in this video just isn't feasible, as we're talking about random large areas on a large lawn. So my thinking is that all I can do is fill and level with topsoil and then seed the various areas. It's going to take quite a large amount of topsoil, but I can't leave the highs and lows as they really spoil the look of the front garden (we've only just moved in). Do you agree? Would you use topsoil, or something else? I have bought the Field No.4 Organic Fine Grade Lawn Dressing for when I overseed it next week (cheers for the discount code, as I ordered 1500 litres!). Would you recommend another type of soil from Field Compost (or elsewhere), rather than just regular topsoil?

Brilliant video Dan. Quick question. In the summer the edges of my lawn seem to shrink and create a small channel, between the grass and edging bricks I have surrounding the lawn. It’s like the whole area shrinks in the sun. Would you suggest I dig this out now and pack with more soil and seed now or pack in the height of the summer when it happens?

can this be done to redefine a perimeter that's too high? For example: 30 years ago the guys who put the sod in on my house did it so thick that the soil is 2 inches above the sidewalk and driveway in my front yard.

hi Daniel just a few questions about lawn work. 1.Is it time for me to start over seeding and topdressing my lawn?

Can you do the same with new turf , same procedure?

Can someone turn off the intermittent rain, every time I think I might be able to cut and scarify it pisses down.

By the end, this is the lawncare equivalent of a film star coming out of plastic surgery looking all bloody & bruised but in a few weeks will look amazing I bet

If your box is square then why not use multiples of that to mark out? Drop box on floor, mark inner edge with tool, repeat etc

Doesn’t the disturbed soil underneath again just settle and leave a new square shaped hollow?

What is the music?

I like how you play the same music in all your videos. Crack on

Yo yo!!

First it’s a theorem not a theoryem. You could do a 3.3,4.4,5.5 or a 6,9,15 instead of having to go direct to the 5,12,13

So that's a hollow? To me it's perfect 😂

Are the products you use on the grass dangerous to dogs cats and children.

Sorry, but this seems like a very hard way to fix a simple problem. Why not just add soil from the top, roll it flat, add some grass seed and wait a bit for it all to grow?
