Are you tired of having a bumpy uneven lawn?! You can fix it with lawn leveling. In this video, I take you through all the steps you need to get a flat level lawn.
Step 1: Mow your grass as low as you can get it so the sand and soil can easily work their way down to the soil level.
Step 2. Aerate your lawn for the best leveling results.
Step 3: Feed your lawn to allow it to grow through the leveling mix and thrive again.

Step 4: Level your lawn by covering it with sand, soil, or a combination of both.
Step 5: Seed any areas where the leveling is deeper than 1/2 inch.

I learned the hard way trying to use moist materials for leveling.... "Patience is a virtue".... I have none lol. Great video once again. Happy spring!

Thank you, Johnny! Happy spring to you as well. Wet sand and dirt are a nightmare to move.

Do you water right after you put the seed down? How often do you water in general? Great job by the way!!!

I am fortunate enough that the sod farm where I got my sod sells a divot mix of sand/peatmoss in my case was an 80/20 mix in a super sack delivered. Great video Kyle.

Great work this is very laborious but sure worth it in the end looks like it’s coming along nicely

It was so much work! After the project it was questioning whether or not I should've even done it in the first place but it continues to look better. Thanks for the comment!

So I just put down my sand and leveled my front yard. Looks crazy. Neighbor gave me crazy looks and looked confused. lol. Do I need to have a water schedule? Keep it 2 times a week? Or turn it off until grass grows through? I can’t find info on this. Thx for your help.

@lakehouselawncare1755 Ай бұрын

@eturnbaugh you can continue to water like normal.

Thanks, Allyn! This leveling stuff is no joke.

I just finish leveling the front of my lawn with a sand and compose mix. And just like you mentioned I also had deep dips in my lawn that needed more of the mix and had to plant Bermuda seed down so now I’m waiting for everything to grow. I hope it was worth it!

@lakehouselawncare1755 Ай бұрын

Nice! Bermuda can grow through deep leveling so I'm sure you will be looking good in no time.

Great vid Kyle, thank you! One question about the overseeding part. Do you put some soil over the grass seed to help keep it wet and protected from birds or you just overseed and wait? Thanks man 🙏

Man, a company delivered sand to me once when I wasn't home... Their pea gravel pit was next to the sand. I spent hours picking gravel out of that sand

Oh man... what a pain! Sorry to hear that, Brian

I’m having the same nightmare with the topsoil I ordered. It’s not screened as advertised so now I have to screen it myself. 10 cubic yards of it! I’ve spent over 30 hours of hard labor and only halfway done.

@joshjuday3777 2 ай бұрын

What type of grass did you have to start with? I want to overseed but idk if I want to mix in expensive seed or just use some regular seed. Does it mix well? Do you like how it looks?

@wuhank 2 ай бұрын

Can you do this with over grown weed problem ? Or have to get rid of the weeds first than the leveling project ?

@southboogie225 Ай бұрын

I cut my grass once a week. Should I keep the same schedule after leveling?

@timault8209 2 ай бұрын

I have zoysia. zoysia is not available in seed. you can go much deeper with sand topcoat than 1/2-in with zoysia. zoysia sends rhizomes through the sand. zoysia covers bare sand spots within one growing season with ample watering.

Great videos! Do you have good advice for aerating a small lawn around 5,000 sf?

@lakehouselawncare1755 2 ай бұрын

Thank you! The best way to aerate is just what I did in this video. Renting an aerator with a few other people in your neighborhood and doing everyone's yard. It's very cost effective.

Hey Kyle. I am NOT looking forward to leveling my lawn. Say, why did you not go with the Barenbrug PR, and use this other Rygrass, this year?

@lakehouselawncare1755 3 ай бұрын

I understand why you are not looking forward to it, it is a ton of work! I chose a different type of ryegrass because I just wanted to try something new and see what the results would be. I am really happy with the blackout ryegrass!

Where did you get your sand dirt mixture? I live in northern I'll. About an hour from Chicago and am looking for help.

@lakehouselawncare1755 3 ай бұрын

We got the sand soil mix from my neighbor's landscaper. I'm not sure the supplier he uses but if you call a landscape company or google "material supply near me" you should be able to find it in your area.
