I Leveled my Lawn using ONLY items from Home Depot

Plan on LEVELING your Lawn? Watch this.
In this video I cover how I used only a few simple items from Home Depot to level my lawn.
The secret to a perfect looking lawn is making it FLAT.
Is your entire lawn or areas of the lawn filled with dips, ruts, low spots, and high spots? When your lawn isn’t level it can make it look terrible and lead to damage and injury due to the bumps making you twist your ankles and scalp your lawn with your mower. Good thing is, you can level your lawn yourself with a few simple items from Home Depot such as a landscape rake, push broom, sand, soil, and a gorilla cart or wheel barrel.
A level lawn also leads to a healthier and easier to maintain turf. It will result in a higher quality cut because your mower won’t scalp the lawn. Not to mention, mowing over a bumpy surface is uncomfortable and can cause injury to your ankles. Low spots are of particular concern because as the tires pass over them, the level of the mower blade also drops, plunging it into the higher spots and cutting the grass too low in that specific spot leading to scalping of the lawn. The last advantage to a level lawn is drainage. Holes and low spots tend to collect water in pools, which increases chance of lawn fungus.
Basic equipment needed to level your lawn lawn leveling rake or lawn leveler , lawn lute , lawn level drag or any other kind of lawn level tool, in this video I use a landscape rake . Also you will need a gorilla cart or wheel barrel to haul around the thousands of pounds of material. If you are looking to get more specific tools for the job such a rake designed just for leveling your lawn I will leave a link below.

Nice to see a sand leveling video that doesn't involve a giant dump truck full of USGA spec sand. The only place I could find with it near me says they require a minimum of 10 cubic yards. There's probably some landscaping supply places around with adequate sand though. I just read an article about golf courses using a mix of 80% sand and 20% mushroom soil or peat moss. Mushroom soil/compost sounds like great stuff, since it's weed free and has some organic matter and water retention properties. Looks like my local Lowe's has some 1 cu ft bags for about $4.50, doesn't sound too expensive to try it out in some areas.

I also added some topsoil that I had left from another project along with some worm castings. I'm leveling deeper spots, my lawn is far from where I want it to be to use mostly sand.

Great video George. I'm not a big fan of potting mix in the lawn, mainly due to the white beads they use for moisture purposes. Those things take forever to breakdown. I rather use topsoil. It's generally cheaper, though there can be more ckunks. I find the "generic" bags from Home Depot and Lowe's work best. I used a landscape rake to level out my lawn for my renovation last season. If you have big piles of dirt and sand, the rake is super handy and knocking them down. Really informative video!

I wish I'd seen this video over the weekend! Now it's time to go back to work. But I'll be doing this when we get to the next weekend. Feral hogs tore up my yard and the ravines and divots and ginormous ruts they left are godawful...can't walk thru the yard without breaking your ankle...and it's even super difficult to ride the mower thru it! Going to fill them in using your suggestions. Thank you!

I REALLY love all the details of your video! Thank you. I have some questions to help me get better looking lawn. Before seeing YOUR video, I bought and laid down enough bagged topsoil to cover my 15-1600 sqft front lawn. Ask you mentioned.. I have been FIGHTING all kinds weeds ever since. However, 2 weeks ago plucked and sprayed weed/grass lawn killer. Now.. I want follow your recommendations while starting over with zoysia. Can I 1st level with just sand? 2nd then layer with potting soil? To finish with seeding then rolling with a lawn roller? *I’m under the impression that bagged or truck delivered topsoil will give me a FOREVER fight with weeds? I live in middle/lower Virginia.

I respect you northern guys. Seeing your lawn barely growing this late in the year would kill me . 6 weeks of dormancy kills me already. Granted I mow 2-3 times a week but I've already gotten in over 20 mows this year . Great content though bro. Wish I could find the medium sand here in Florida

the good thing about buying bags is you can level slowly over time and see how you like it, but i must warn you the results are addicting and you will find your self doing it all the time haha and yes soil is no bueno, you can mix a lil bit in but you really need that sand base

That Quikcrete play sand is now $7.43 at my local big box. Seems like they caught on. If you’re looking to buy more than 3 or so bags it might be worth phoning your local dirt supply dealer and seeing if they have a pickup option. I was able to pickup a full cubic yard of sand for $30. Borrowed a buddies truck and they just dump it all in the bed with a loader. Saved enough to buy myself a nice gorilla cart.

Quick questions - I have an area of my backyard that is depressed compared to surrounding area by several inches and in turn collects water. Is this an appropriate method for remediating that?

@LordFrieza_NA_Server 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the info George, We bought a house in Nov. and had snow on the lawn. We had no idea there were bare spots and 6-8 inch waves in the lawn in several different areas. Question should I just fill the holes right up level or slowly raise the low spots with a mix of sand an dirt. I have no idea what type of grass is currently there most of it is burnt from dog pee. I was planning on over seeding the next few seasons to change the grass type.

@PrincessCutLawnCare 2 жыл бұрын

congrats on the home! good news is.. a few bare spots can easily be fixed. fill the holes that are bare and slowly bring up the areas that have grass. in the fall do a heavy over seed and youl be as good as new

This was a really great video. Well produced and informative. You’re really hitting your stride. Fellow west Chicago Suburbanite here. Any thoughts on offering current advice for us Chicagoans in the same climate through shorts or IG Reels? Each year the growing/dormant seasons are slightly different based on what we get. Would love a current “hey guys it’s time to begin seeding, or dethatching, or whatever for us less experienced knowable viewers that are trying to pay attention to their lawn and learn. Just thought I’d mention it. Thanks for all the great content!
