This lawn renovation was carried out in Autumn, which incidentally was enjoying a heatwave.
The customer had a large moss problem and asked for my help to come and give them a nicer lawn. I couldn't help but feel like I could really do some good for them.
We agreed on a lawn renovation and so I proceeded.
In this video I carry out lawn scarification, hollow tine aeration, overseeding and topdressing. You can see all the steps involved.

I have renovated my lawn 3x in the last year, last spring, then autumn, then also this spring a couple weeks ago, its looking good but still not the level i am wanting, first time i top dressed in compost the last 2 times i top dressed in a 70-30 sports sand soil mix, i bought a lute and have levelled it out as i am after a bowling green finish, i learned from the first time i top dressed in the 70-30 that the worms hated it and left worm casts everywhere so this time daily i lightly flatten them down. i also dug out all my borders laid weed membrane put plastic lawn edging all around and used 4 tonne of limestone as i was convinced the lawn was getting weeds spreading from the borders and it looks so much nicer imo. But i have the soil of the lawn the same height as the stone border. basically i hear you say that you should aerate yearly. I dont know but surely after years of doing that you would lose height off the lawn as you are removing a lot of soil everytime. When i aerated mine i had endless amounts of rubble bags of the cores i removed and its surprising how much soil your actually taking out. I appreciate the benefits of doing it but is it really needed?

Very helpful and informative thank you, a quick question, I have an ancient Al-Ko scarifier with two interchangeable blades ? one is a sort of straight blade with an offset and the other is a spring tine device, I seem to recall in the distant past that the spring tine was described as a rake and the other as a verticutter. which should I use to remove the thatch which is minimal now. The minimum height setting when verticutting seems very aggressive on the lawn surface, I was considering a Stihl cordless scarifier which seems to have more depth adjustments.
@LawnRight
@LawnRight 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks. If you only have mininal thatch id just run over with the springy rake version to groom the lawn.. In other words a light tickle through. The bladed versions are for the aggressive needs when thatch has built up over a long time.

Hey Shaun, I scarified back in March and treated with iron sulphate. Worked great at the time. Cut a few times since then and all of a sudden the moss has once again taken over. I can only guess this indicates I didn't scarify deep enough and that water isn't draining away?
@LawnRight
@LawnRight 2 жыл бұрын
Hi .. If you have shaded parts then this will lead to moss (damp shaded areas).. or clay soil can also lead to moss after heavy rains..or yes.. as you said if some thatch remains. Id suggest scarifying every spring and autumn to minimise thatch.. aerate the ground annually and ensure the height of cut is not scalping the lawn

Hi thanks for the kind words. If its not thinning then just scarify and aerate. However if it is thin in places you can throw some seed sown and compost on the top.. work it all down to ground with a rake or brush . Guess what im saying is see wht its like after youve done it. Also.. while it is good to do it regular.. if youre actually happy with it leave it be and consider it again in spring

Hi mow when it's ready. You dont want it getting too long as itll shade the new grasses too much. Please just be very careful and cut on ahigh setting. Turning mowers around can easily move the seeds. As a guide though I'd be looking to leave it a minimum of 3 weeks if possible

Hi the temperatures are the key thing to think about and it seems to be just fine at those temperatures - similar to our summer times in the Uk.. so germination should be just fine.. but when its hot like you are having, be sure to keep it well damp for the entire 2 to 4 weeks after seeding.. and then once its all come through continue nursing it with regular watering for several months, as the roots will still be shallow, and any major stresses will lead to issues.. good luck!

Hi lawns need to be measured. Our business wont disclose our own pricing structure as it's quite sensitive. However you can get a feel for pricing based on number of days worked, some profit and cost of materials. As a daily rate you will find small one man bands may charge £100 to £200 per day labour, larger firms will be more due to additional costs. Some businesses who are experts can charge more based on their skill levels. People then use them be cause they know they will get a better service. Sorry this isnt an exact reply. If you were local and wanted a quote we would be happy to do that.. also if you looked at a turfing company they typically charge from £10 to £20 per square metre

Hi Shaun Firstly, very professional complete job - well done. Was thinking about getting a Stihl RL 540 myself - for domestic use it seems to be one of the better options. The only thing putting me off is that it doesn’t have powered drive and I’ve a lot of slopes - is it a heavy unit to push/pull around? Or is it the case that the blades kind of pull it forward? And generally would you recommend it? Should say my lawns are roughly the same area as shown in the video. My preference would be a petrol machine and price wise Billy Goat, Etiel, etc are all a bit much for a domestic user. And one final question - is there a lawn lute you would recommend for domestic use? Price and build quality seem to vary a lot. Love the channel - your advice is always clear, comprehensive and easy to follow. Many thanks.
@LawnRight
@LawnRight 2 жыл бұрын
Hi.. The 540 is pretty good and quieter than others too. I used to use Camon machines but found them to be very loud. That said they were very powerful machines and could cut through thick layers with ease. The Stihl 540 is less powerful and sometimes may need a few passes. Other than that I can't fault it.. especially for the price. To date Ive never seen nor even thought about a drive powered scarifier so cant comment on those Im afraid. Its not a bad idea but I couldnt give any sort of feedback other than choose a good brand. My lute in particular was simply made by some guy off eBay many years ago for £90. That didnt include the handle, so I had to buy a broom handle. In all these years it's as good as new. Its very heavy, and I did snap a broom once inside the shaft moving it. Hope this helps, sorry it's not perfect help! Shaun

Nice job there Shaun, I've just done exact same process over yesterday and this morning. I had to hire an aerator though as unable to afford my own Christ they are expensive! When it was dropped off found it was the solid tine and not hollow tines like I'd ordered. I was suffering from really bad compaction so just used it and it's seemed to free up the area somewhat, do you think I was right in doing so? Also what wetting agent do you use? I've seen yucca have you any experience in it. Thanks for the great info Shaun keep them coming. Barry.

Ive read about Yucca and the reviews seem good but havent used it.. i do plan to use a lot of products asap so i can give an opinion on it. The stuff I use is commercial unbranded

Thanks for the reply Shaun that's put my mind at rest. I have found a 2nd hand one on eBay about an hour away but it looks like an ex hire one and they are still asking 900 Smackers for it, maybe I am being a tight ducks butt in my aging life but seems a bit steep don't you think? Although it is a camon, but still seems steep to me.

I over seeded in March and its all looking good. Would you recommend scarification and another overseed in the autumn or just scarify and fertilize. I'm sure there is more thatch but lawn is looking good and so much better than 12 months ago. Thanks Shaun.

I've just started my lawn reno. Scarified, and spread 4 in 1 Fertilizer/weed killer. I've got a Hollow tyne machine booked in 10 days. I was think of using a 70-30 mix to top dress as the soil is quite clay based. Does that seem right to you. Thanks
@LawnRight
@LawnRight Жыл бұрын
Hi that's all good as long as youre not seeding as the 4 in 1 would kill the seeds. If you're just scarifying and aerating them all good. I'd also sprinkle some gypsum down the aeration holes before dressing too

Its something i started doing maybe 15 years ago after a coworker said he did his lawn with it and it came up in 3 days. It just adds in alot of good old organic goodness and helps get things off to a good start. I have on occasion used topsoil and thats also come out good. As for levelling etc I tend to use topsoil.. compost helps sandy soils retain moisture and it helps clay soils improve their structure

Hi you can physically do it as often as you need. If theres no shaded areas then you will prob not need to..but it wont hurt if you did want to.. if you do have shaded aress they may thin out over winter.. and recover somewhat in spring. Basically its a case of see how the lawn looks in spring

I have a north facing front lawn mostly in shadow and no matter what i do the moss seems to displace the grass, ive tined, scarified, reseeded and top dressed in the past but i seem to be fighting a losing battle, is there a more shade tolerant seed or something im not considering?
@LawnRight
@LawnRight Жыл бұрын
Even if you find the best seed (I've honestly not tried that many) lawn still need at least 3 hours a day of sunlight to thrive or they will begin to thin. It is harder when it's in shade all the time. Might be worth asking a couple of suppliers like barenbrug a similar question. Sorry about that

I have another quick question please I am looking to scarify the lawn for the first time ever this year so I am a total novice. My Dad always did it but sadly he has recently passed away and his garden and lawn was his pride and joy. I noticed when you scarified you didn't mow the lawn short first. When I look on line for advice as I am about to do it this week it advises to make sure the grass is very short first. So not sure what is best to do. I can see the lawn has a lot of thatch and moss in it and I haven't mown it for 3 weeks. But on your videos you seem to just scarify straight away. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Should I mow the lawn short first of all? Thank you for all your help and advice I really enjoy watching your videos

Hi it is better to mow it nice and short it makes for a better scarify. I will also scarify if it's up to about 2 inches long. Good luck with it. Take your time and itll come good
