How to make your lawn FLAT and LEVEL - topdressing my lawn with sand

How to make your lawn flat and level, today I will be topdressing my lawn sand. The best way to level out a lawn is to topdress it to raise the level of the lawn and take out undulations. I will be using USGA sand, this is fantastic for levelling a lawn, it helps break down thatch and improve drainage.

Really helpful video. My lawn has become very uneven over the years, if you can’t get hold of the sand what would be the next best thing to use for trying to level the lawn.

@Premier_lawns_official 4 жыл бұрын

David best to use screened topsoil. (Little and often is best) My lawn is build out of 70/30 (70 soil/ 30 sand) Sand is inert and doesn't hold nutrients. If you are top dressing you want to try and match what you are applying and try and keep it similar Constantly adding sand to a clay lawn will work against you. If you do it regularly it can create a barrier layer in the soil. I use the sand as it's already in the root zone...

Here, all over east Meath we’ve got very heavy, compacted soil which holds a lot of water, in it and on top of it and it takes ages to dry off after a heavy rainfall. Would mixing sand in, raking it well in, as well as forking the whole lawn, give it a chance to let water drain off quicker?

I had to replace a 4 inch pipe going through one corner of the lawn. I filled it in and seeded it but it has settled down a 3-4 inches. Grass growth is good. Do I put sand on that or layer on topsoil every so often so not to smother the lawn. Is it too late to do that now or does it need growth so the grass is growing through the sand or topsoil which ever you recommend.

Just a wee tip.. Your sense of `level` can be exploited as follows... Shuffle backwards across the suspected area. Your Achilles tendon will respond at the edge of the dip. Drop some sand to mark the place and keep on shufflin` along.

Hey, Great job!! someone asked what kind of rake he was using, in the States we call that a lawn rake. Just one question, in the States, coming out of spring going into summer, we experience rain and humidity that often leads to fungus development in the lawn. Diseases such as brown patch, dollar spot, pythium blight, rust and others can really destroy your lawn. Do you guys have to fight these diseases. If so I would like to know how you identify and treat these funguses as my battle with them will soon start. You guys stay safe, and I'll be watching.

@Premier_lawns_official 4 жыл бұрын

We don't get those diseases here that often. The diseases that lawns get in the uk and Ireland is red thread and Fusarium. Lots of rules and regulations here for the chemicals to treat. Though shouldn't be an issue for this lawn. All the best and thanks for stopping by 😁

Once you've levelled with sand. Do you then re-seed? I re-turfed my lawn last summer during lockdown. This year it looks a bit worse for wear though. Thin in areas, bumpy and not as level as it was. Lawn care is more difficult then you think. So any pointers to get it looking thick, healthy and level again. Would be greatly appreciated. We have a fairly long lawn. So its harder to maintain then your "normal" sized back garden.

Topdressing is levelling...

@kevodonnell4765 4 жыл бұрын

I have an undulating lawn ,and I feel I should start to level the lawn out a little bit more , thanks for the top dressing advice. I have a few hollows on the lawn that are 2 to 3 inches deep. How do I work on this problem, do I topdress in stage's or can I do it in 1 application of topdressing.

I would be tempted to do it in one application

Hi Robbie ! Nice video. What’s the name of equipment you used to spread the sand equally ? Please advise.

Top!! I actually did my all lawn in Mozambique ( Maputo) with your tips, in 2 month willl level the lawn with sand. Just a question, what type of sand do you use? Fine sand, or other?

@Premier_lawns_official 3 жыл бұрын

That's amazing! Mozambique 😍 We use pit sand, its coarse and round in nature, if you were to look at it under a microscope. That way it doesn't compact

Hello - very helpful video. Can you tell me what that tool is called that you dragged around behind you? It looks like a metal mat.

How do you solve ant infestation in the lawn, my Dad's lawn is like the rocky mountains with ant nests (flying ants) all over. IT is a complete rip out and start again?

Hello Robbie, I watched one of your video's where you used Elliotts Lawn Sand. I really want to give that a go but I can't find the video again on how to use it. Could you give me the link if you know it please. Cheers for your help and keep up the great video's.

Good morning thank you for your really useful videos can I ask them advice I unfortunately bought some cheap topsoil which had stones on it I’ve laid it down and after watering in the topsoil I can see the stones are top of the grass is there a quick way to remove these or is it a question of just going round by hand?

This is a great video, thank you! I have depressions on my lawn. I am on the UK. If I level now with sand (April/May), when should I over seed it? Can I do it now or how long should I wait? Thank you again for this video

I also have stepping stones which are also depressed, should I take those, then level them put them back, or should I level the lawn first then level the step stones?

Have you any good ways of removing dog lichen of the lawn, I have a garden that is badly covered in it, just keeps getting worse each year, and I don't know how to remove it, it has spread all over the lawn.

It only grows in compacted soil. If you fork the area on a regular basis 👍

Hi Robbie I want to use grass seed on my father's and mothers grave blot as it's gets quite boggy this time of YEAR and it's hard for family to put flowers on the head stone I know it's an odd request but could you recommend a grass seed to thicken the area please that would give me the best results and what the best time to start putting seeding down Thankyou Tom

@Premier_lawns_official 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Tom, once the frosts pass then you can plant seed, that will depend on where you live Not sure on the best seed to use on the grave, it would be worth having a chat with someone like Boston seeds, that is who I use. All the best
