Timelapse lawn renovation in a very sunny spot

This lawn renovation includes scarifying heavily, aerating, overseeding and topdressing. The garden is in a very sunny area and based at a new build property which are renowned for having very poor, often stony and clay based soils.
3 weeks prior to the renovation, I came and applied some Roundup (Glyphosate) to kill off some pre-existing weeds and undesirable grass species. This is why you can see plenty of Brown areas on the lawn.
In this video, I mention using a Wolf Garten hand scarifying rake and also a compost spreader.
You can get the rake head here: amzn.to/3iReFMN and handle here: amzn.to/3tV9Jgr (these come with a 10-year warranty)
You can get the compost spreader here: www.gardenimports.co.uk/produ... or available here on Amazon: amzn.to/4aJoKUX
Other tools used:
Lawn lute: amzn.to/4cLUVVG

Hand spreader for applying pre-seed fertiliser: amzn.to/49Ajyly

I followed everyone of your steps on my lawn this year even got myself a compost spreader, great tool,I over seeded and top dressed on the 26th of March, I had no germination at all, then today when I came back home from work, I noticed a very light green haze over the lawn,,boom we have lift off lol, all the seed seems to have come up over night, I'm so pleased another couple of weeks and I just know it's gonna look the best it's ever looked, thanks so much for all your help through your videos

Same! I aerated, scarified, seeded and top-dressed on the 30th and the first green shoots appeared today after a sprinkle.

Hey buddy, another great vid, my fav lawn channel by far. Can you apply liquid seaweed to grass seed that's been put down and covered with a little soil/copost? Will it help germination or upset the balance?

good time lapse of the process but I tend to use a horticultural sand 70/30 split so I can level the area better,,provides a much better surface for mowing......but depends on the overall expectations of client....

Question relating to an old video you did on clay lawns - what’s the best way to spread the powder form of gypsum on to an existing, recently aerated clay soil lawn? How frequently should it be done?

@LawnRight 2 ай бұрын

Hi, Ive not really experimented hugely with it for exact amounts.. I suppose it comes down to how bad the clay is... I would literally scatter. good handfuls everywhere.. or if unsure, do light doses every month and try to see if you notice improvements over the season

Nice one Sean, gives us something good to watch. I actually did mine and my neighbours yesterday, full renovation and level it off a bit. But the bloody wind is ridiculous, so i sheeted it up with some white fleece to help protect it a little? I’m really considering killing my back lawn, is that chemical safe for dogs by any chance? Cheers mate, James

Hi its supposed to be fine once dry.. Glyphosate is known for being quite toxic though.. But I've always advocated wisting 2 hours till any weedkiller is dry before allow g anyone back on a lawn.. Touch wood no issues in 25 years

Hi Shaun .. the weed killer you put on 3 weeks earlier, does that not affect the new seed like weedol does..

@LawnRight 2 ай бұрын

Hi, it was roundup (glyphosate), its a total kill.. kills everything it touches.. and the product breaks down and degrades in the soil after 2 weeks so you are supposed to be good to seed after 2 weeks.. although I usually wait 3 where I can

Have a question if you don't mind. Got a lawn that's never been scarified with many weeds in it also. How to tackle it? Spray then scarify, or scarify then spray. Am just wondering with so much crap there how effective spray will be. Also I read about scarifying that it can spread weeds. But the lawn is bad enough already. What approach is best here?

@LawnRight 2 ай бұрын

Hi either is fine.. If you spray now give it 1 to 2 weeks before scarifying as this will have given the weedkiller plenty of time to get in and down to the roots

I renovated my lawn last spring for the first time and it looked great afterwards. Now there is quite a lot of weed. If I light scarify, do I need to overseed again? Thank you in advance

@LawnRight 2 ай бұрын

You should b just fine if you go steady it'll usually all recover. If it was wholly a dwarf rye grass there's every chbac you'd need to overseed as it doesn't spread

@@LawnRight You would have laughed if you watched me mix the powdered ferrous iron sulphate that the genius at the garden center assured me was water soluble. I should have tested it first, but no...I put 12 liters of water in my Solo backpack sprayer and poured 2KG of the fine powder into the water. The powder turned into a rock hard blob almost immediately as it settled on the bottom of the sprayer. I couldn't chip it out and eventually took the ex-sprayer to the recycling center. That's when I bought the FlowZone. Now I test any powder going into the sprayer to make sure it really is soluble in water.
