This is an excellent video. Short and right to the point. The key is using a high quality soul and spreading it properly.

The people who invented the 'soil leveler' should get a Nobel Prize:)...I an going to definitely get one of these when I aerate my lawn early this Fall.

This is the best detailed info I have seen on this subject. I have washed sand to be delivered in a couple of days. My lawn has brown patch so I want to avoid feeding it nitrogen via any fertiliser.

Great idea to use triple screened top soil. Nothing worse that having to remove twigs and sticks and junk from your grass after top dressing. Thanks for sharing.

FYI. the topsoil leveler in Australia is called a gravel/easy spreader in the US. A Powder coated one for heavy applications and a light aluminum one for light surface grading is available. For lawns I recommend the powder coated one as it is heavier.

A very informative video particularly mentioning the fact that we shouldn't add too much top dressing covering the grass blades makes good sense. A note here, the background music is really killing my ear drums while focusing to find your voice among the "noise". Would be nice it the loud music background can be removed or softens up. Thank you.

Best top dressing and seeding video I have seen, very informative. I used these processes for my lawn.

Man, It looks like paradise, where your at!!!

A great video, and that top dressing was quality! Before I did mine similar to that, I found it was quite important to air the lawn first with a core aerate tool, or similar to open up compaction to let the lawn breathe, even perhaps scarifying depending if theres thatch around.. Also I used a bit of sharp sand in my top dressing which went down well (literally) benefiting the lawn. Cheers guys.

Hi, yes in Australia our spring starts in September and runs through to November. But it is warm enough usually by August. Obviously if you live in the Northern Hemisphere your spring months will differ, but the concept is still the same.

I love this video. It's a mash of good tips and demonstration, plus decent production that also cocks up up 4:54 - someone had the mic on under instruction in post. Lol. :)

Well done guys.... helped me a lot with my topdressing plan. Thanks!

Trev is thinking " yeah you just stand there , I'll do all the hard working filling and pushing the barrow, you just do the talking , I don't want you to get your nice trousers dirty"

GREAT video & advice delivered clearly! Thank you VERY much!

How many likes can we get for old mate Trev? All he cares about is getting the job done so he can head home and crack an ice cold VB.

It is very good video, easy to understand as it is explained steps by steps so it is good for beginner. Thank you very much.

it's the first time I hear Spring being called like August, September, etc in an English speaking country... Stopped the video to check if it was from the southern hemisphere and yes, it was!

yes you have to wear dress shoes when you do this and where long pants even thoe its over 100 degrees out

Nice use of the indigenous workmen !!!!!

Trev is rocking those shorts

Man , your spring starts at August and September 😂😂😂

Great video

Good on ya Trev. Bloody legend mate.

This was very helpful, thank you!

You da man Trev!!

This is a great video. Thank you

Thanks Trev! What a star

Nice job on the play by play narrating and supervising.

In the spring...August, September, October and early November. That's if you live south of the equator. This landscaper is from Australia.

Thank you very much for this good video ...

I found it beneficial, on a hot day, to use that silly plastic, or metal fan sprinkler end, or gun, and act like I am painting the lawn. Start at one end, and spray like i am spray painting the lawn, and through flow dynamics, the soil goes from high to low, and even itself out. I do not worry how much or how even my watering is at this point, I just want it all wet. The next three days, I am there eyeballing the green grass to make sure I am wet enough all over. If it wet, or got flooded, I avoid that area, and you will know.

Excellent advice well done and good simple method to follow - well done guys

Nice shorts trev

Hi! My Lawn is not even is has a bump and then goes down. I watched your videos and brought sand. All I need to do is rake the sand evenly for the lawn to grow highly and evenly????

Thank you! Very helpful video!

You have got to watch this video with subtitles (closed captions). The presenters accent is amazing but the translation on the subtitles is hilarious. Lol.

so top dress in early spring? what about before fall time? to possibly winterize the lawn? I live in AZ. very dry atmosphere at 7,000 ft. nit terribly hot. my soil is clay-ish under the turf we put in 4 years ago.

Thank you kindly for your expertise and demonstration!

Thanks from U.S.A.

Great presentation and very helpful. Thank you.

Threw me off when he said spring and august 🤣

Thank you so much for this!!! I tried some of these tips myself and am a noob at lawn care but love learning about how to improve it so that my neighbours get lawn envy (which I currently have!) I've started my own KZfaq channel to document my progress. Feel free to see and comment on how I'm going :)

I did top the lawn and re seeded - now the grass is one inch out. Do I use fertilizer to feed a boost ?

Hey very good job trevor you make it look easy thanks

Excellent video...thank you! It has been very helpful! Thank you again!

I used a doorstep grille instead of a trulute (lawn leveller). did the same job, though a it more tricky to manipulate. My self-sourced CH4N2O probably isn't as good as that C88 fertiliser but it's free.

THANK YOU!!!

thanks mate good content without the BS

Thank you 😊

Trevs shorts get any higher we will have to rate this video. 😜

Trevors like "can you pick up a fucking rake and help me out here mate?"

My man!✅✅Thank you!

Can I top dress my new sod I believe I don’t have enough top soil under it so I’m worried it won’t have enough top soil..

Is earthing up soil and top dressing same thing

Good information when you can hear it above the music which detracts not adds to the overal presentation.

nice dukes mate!

What's this we stuff? You mean Trev will do all the work and I'll just do the talking

Great video guys 👍🏻

If I have some dips in my yard. Like rolling hills if you will. Can I just fill six inches (or whatever it is) of top soil to bring the dip up to level and just plant seed in those spots? Thank you for any help!

Shit can the background music when the guy is talking. Sometimes it gets too loud.

If I just had a tree stump removed, what can I use to fill it in after removing the grindings🤷‍♂️

As a Canadian, it's always wierd to hear someone say November is hot! 😂🤣😂

Can you make the soil lot deeper to Bury the grass then just throw grass seeds on top? My bumps in garden really uneven

If you have any bald areas on your lawn, do you ever add seed to the topsoil while you are doing this process? Thanks

What Top Dressing do if dont add grass seed. Just get lumps out? I first use a 40-in Spike Lawn Aerator design drops seed, fertilizer or lime $199.00 new at lows put some fertlizer down will give grass roots some food after may top dress.

It would help if you lose the music, which gets turned up so loud that I can't hear the commentary. I'm not so stupid that I need music to enable my comprehension.

In Australia, the mailman “rides a motorbike across your lawn?”

Great video . Can not find a bag of eco 88 in NSW . Can you help please ?

The plastic rake is really all you need. Making sure you don't bury the grass rake it

What kind of sprinklers were those?

Great video. Very informative, thank you.

Can you do St. Augustine grass like this. How can I make a top soil?

Thank you.

Why the annoying loud music? Does it help the grass grow?

I have a patchy lawn. I just layed down top dressing with built in fertilizer. Do I need grass seeds, or would the top dressing help the patches to grow grass? Cheers. I am loacted in NSW.

Northern Hemreare Guy here, Would it be better to do this in March until May? I feel its too early to do it your all's spring.

Can i aerate and top dress at the same time?

Soil leveller, top soil spreader, lute.

Couldn't you use a spreader and save a lot of time doing this?

Where the postman rides his motor-bike!

Hey! You didn’t put any grass seed in there?

Can you use mushroom soil

3:30 Didn't they have peat moss rollers 10 years ago? Save a ton of time an effort.

alternative for the swiveler??

Great vid, thanks

Where can I get that fertilizer?

Come on Trevor get your finger out!! sorry mate, didn't mean to be offensive, you did a good job there mate!

Near beginning of video, you said best time is "in the Spring", but then you said "August, September, October, November". I don't understand. Are those months your Spring?

Trevor wants you to move the F outta the way 😂

4:58 lol. Editor fell asleep and leaned on the up volume.

Brilliant mate. The top soil up here in Michigan is garbage. Triple screen. I shall remember.

For North American residents looking for a soil leveller, perhaps try mkrittenhouse.com/ca/gravel-leveler-easy-spreader & mkrittenhouse.com/us/gravel-leveler-easy-spreader. Not certain on their shipping terms, but this is a little closer to home!

Can you put seeds in the top dressing soil?

He says we but it's only the other guy doing all the work

not in the USA the postman would get shot for riding his motor bike on the lawn

What happened with the audio at 5:04, I hear a faint yep in the music and the presenter goes completely mute .

It's may here now wn shall we do it

Where can I find that leveling tool in the US?

Why should I mow the lawn before applying the top dressing. I have 4cm depressions, if I dont cut the grass the grass blades will still stick out which is good no?

Why Trevor wearing them Daisy Dukes??
