@@nointro, Lucky to own a corner home. Cutting lawn diagonally has become a tradition catching people's eye enough to begin experimenting on their own. Best of all It still has yet to catch on with common local landscapers. Now blowing unbagged grass clippings and debris into street, that's more their speed rather than paying to go dump it. And it has become all too obvious If hired groundskeepers knew the least bit things about trees, they would be called arborists. In fact It's about time customers start charging landscapers after weed whacking & scarring chunks of tree bark rather than breaking out Grandpa's handheld grass clippers giving lawn a more manicured look around base of stately young tree trunks.

Exactly how most people are clueless about grass. Mowing style and regime is the most important thing. Only knowledge and experience can help with this. It takes many many years of practise.. Again the same time with treatments. People think they can read a book or buy a product, and hey presto they are a lawn expert! I've been mowing over 20years and treating over 10 years. I'm still learning every month.. Then there is the weather 😊🌱🌱🌱. I'm not a mechanic, plasterer, electrician or computer technician. I wish people would not diy lawns as they totally ruin them more often than not. - there are professionals and handymen! Happy lawn creating guys. Have a peaceful and prosperous 2022.

@Wedge53 2 жыл бұрын

A couple of pro tips from the States: Certainly agree with the narrator, 1/3 rule is a certain benefit. Be able to identify the best species of grass for your geographical area. In the US Mid-Atlantic turf type tall fescue hybrids work best. For tall fescues maintain your cutting height at a three inch minimum. This helps choke out weeds and reduces evaporation. Different species thrive with different cutting heights. (ie Bermuda grass can be maintained quite low.) Very important to sharpen the blades. This will help reduce weeds and insects, and keep down lawn treatments. Also sharp blades improve the look of your finished cut. Absolutely discharge clippings back into the lawn. This will provide needed nitrogen for the soil, and reduce the need for watering. If clippings clump up (unlikely with 1/3 rule) follow up with a rake or leaf blower to disperse the cuttings. These tips were passed to me from some very competent agronomists. After 35 years in the landscape trade I wanted to stress; enjoy your time outdoors. However do not get lost in a lawn planted in grass. Please include wildflowers to attract native pollinators, native trees and shrubs to support your local wildlife, and avoid pesticides when you can. Happy trails, Kirk

I would like to to give it a trim but I am concerned about damage I could cause by running my Hayter rotary mower with a roller over the lawn. The plus point is that there is no sign of moss, the lawn is either green or the brown of the soil shows through.

Hi Robbie, I'm currently starting a full lawn renovation in my property. I have watched loads of your videos to give me a good starting point, I've cored, scarified, topdressed and seeded. Now with the typical British springtime weather and a little help from sprinklers I should start to see seeds germinate within the next 10 days. My plan is to use a foliar feed of ammonia sulphate for nitrogen as well as to lower soil pH as the POA weed grasses are unbelievable and there's way too many to dig out, I missed out the pre emergent but I will be applying it in the fall to try to stop them next year. So my plan is iron sulphate every 6 weeks or so until October as well as ammonia sulphate for nitrogen. Could you please give me and ideas on a good general all purpose lawn feed that I can use in-between these foliar feeds to put down the other very much needed micro and macro nutrients as these 2 chemicals only add iron and nitrogen. Thanks for your help Robbie. Keep up the good content 👍

Hey Rob, what do you think of robotic mowers? Surely they dont stripe anywhere near as good as a cylinder mower, but from my experience it helps me when I am not able to maintain my mowing schedule. Another thing to mention when mowing is surely to not trust the height adjustment printed on the mowers - my mower goes down to 25mm on the 35mm setting - so rather double check by just mowing a small patch first than risking scalping everything. :)

@Premier_lawns_official 2 жыл бұрын

Robo mowers are the future unless you want stripes. The best way to measure the height of cut is to use a ruler or tape measure and drop it into the lawn

Thanks for your videos. I have commented before in the past when I was starting out.. I dont have the best lawn, but thanks to you I have a lawn which people always comment on when they come over, they always ask me how I did it. It will be next year I hope it will really pop. I plan to level it out at the end of the summer with a soil and sand mix. then hopefully that will take away some of the patches i get where some ground is higher or deeper than others. Thanks again

It can be satisfying when you mow your lawn to see a ton of clippings in the bag: "yeah, I've done a great job there". But look instead for a fairly small amount of clippings - then you know you've only taken off a wee bit.

@timbradshaw3201 2 жыл бұрын

I've taken on mowing a lawn that has a base that's pretty much flattened building land. It dries hard and has very little goodness in it. The lawn is poor quality generally quite yellow, tends to harbour unwanted growth and has a number of ant nests on it. I've tried to make some improvement on a part of it (sprayed off, tilled, levelled and re-seeded) which has helped on that part a little, but what should be my main step. I was intending to recommend heavy aeration (hollw tine aerator) followed by top dressing with seed included at say 50/50 sand and topsoil. But it's expensive and I'd love to know its the correct step before charging for aerator hire. Re ant Hills, I've started using a post auger to pull out the nest then fix around the hole for level with the same mix. Hoping once the base gets better, ants will be discouraged. Any thoughts?

The not letting it grow too much and 1/3rd rule. The problem I have is I think it's due to be cut, but then it rains heavy and I have to wait a few days for it to dry out, by which point it's too long now.

To get the length of lawn down from long to short, and following the one third cut rule, how soon after the first trim can I cut the next third off and so on until I get to the lawn height I'm after? thanks

@Premier_lawns_official 2 жыл бұрын

Chris, the shorter it is cut the more often it needs cut. Take a golf green, it's cut every day at a height of 3-5mm A lawn that has been fertilised, you might be cutting it every 5 - 10 days, an average lawn might only get cut every 14 days. Cutting heights for something like this might be 25-50mm A lawn that never gets any attention that might be even more. 80mm It depends on what you are cutting it with and the height of cut.
