Dan, one other question. I have the Bosch AVR 1100 Verticutter, which has flails rather than a fixed blade. Would this work for cutting the grooves or would it just be best to hire one from my local centre for half a day? The veryicutter is brilliant at churning up the moss and dead matter, but not sure it will cut consistent grooves like I see your machine do.

I've watched this a few time now and took the plunge and just done my lawn with Jack's magic. It started raining minutes after I finished raking it over which was a bonus too! 2 days after and its amazing how the original grass is coming though nicely already. Just got to keep watering over the next few weeks :) Happy days :)

So Dan, Inspired by your videos and living too far away from Bolton for your help I decided to do a full revamp of my front lawn. Crazy moss infestation. So bought a back pack sprayer and borrowed my dads electric scarifyer (not as good as your petrol one). I sprayed on some iron sulphate and killed the moss, Scarified the hell out of it , sprayed down some wetting agent (that id never even heard of before your vids. Overseeded and spread 7 bags of jacks magic. WOW its looking better than ever. I dont have a cylinder mower and I might invest. Thank you so much mate. The fact that you do this without crazy expensive tools and stuff made me have a go. I have a bigger back garden and that is next. Thats a bigger project cas the soil need a full revamp and level.

Thanks Daniel. I'm looking after the garden at Dinton Castle in Bucks, was a Grand Designs project so the pressure's on! 2 months ago I returfed a 100m square area under a big oak tree. I've watered daily and it grew really well for first 6 weeks but now thinning out. Do you suggest cutting the new turf short and topdressing and over-seeding the area like you did in this video? Unfortunately the area is in shade most of the day, that's probably why it's thinning. Thanks so much if you can help :-)

Your video's and advice has given me confidence to tackle my own lawn. I bought the exact same landscaping rake from Screwfix and I think its great. I'm not worried about the width because it was great for levelling out. I scalped with my mower on the number 1 setting, scarified deeply and picked up the dead grasses. I bought a tonne bag of 70:30 Rolawn topdressing, which is good stuff. When I was spreading the seed however, I calculated the size of the garden (70m2) and at 35g /m measured out 2.5kg of grass seed and using the rotary spreader set it to 24. After more than 6 multiple passes, I decided I had already had put down enough seed, having eyeballed it but I have only used about half the amount of seed! Did I mess up??????

You cant use compost for levels so you would need more a sand based product but if its over a few cms you cant really smother the lawn and hope the lawn underneath comes through you would need to backfill by removing the turf then lifting the level that way

I don’t really understand why the need for such drastic scalping of the lawn. Is a spongy lawn not a good idea?

Does the raking shift the lawn seed around?

Hi Dan, I stupidly bought a new build and got a clay based lawn, would you use sand or compost to level? It’s currently flooded in Manchester looking at it! 😔

Sounds like you need to put some drains in first to alleviate the problem

I've noticed that you use "Old trusty" for scarifying rather than the Allett cassette.. any reasons why please? Being tempted by an Allett with mowing and two other cassettes ..Already have an 'Old trusty scarifier, so don't want to duplicate or blow money on unnecessary kit. New trousers Grommit.. looking great!

First renovations of the year have to be done with the blades of the scarifier to get into the soil profile ideally , the tines on a scarifier arnt strong enough to penetrate

Can I do this with a bumpy new build lawn or am I best to level off and start again?

@DanielHibbertLawnExpert 2 жыл бұрын

You can but you cant level with compost so you would still have abumpy lawn, if its really bumpy then id always start again but its your budget so weather it permits is another matter

@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert thanks for the reply. The lawn is never going to be perfect, we have dogs and kids 😂. Just looking to make some cosmetic improvements. I was thinking starting again would be the case but it would be a waste of time, I would only end up with the same pee holes in it. Is there a way to level out without starting again? Thanks Daniel Regards

You do not use a lawn roller to ensure the best seed contact with soil?

Dont start wi that, its bull that youve been watching other lawn channels and been taken in by them then asking me like I’m somehow below them, well im above them so you should be asking them why they need to be using one when i am not 🤪

Daft question. Why don’t you use a lanzie to top-dress the lawn?

Because its 400 quid i wouldnt get back, a pain to store and it doesnt gove you coverage where the bars are laterally, at no point today whilst doing that job did the lanzie enter my head
