This lawn renovation includes scarifying heavily, overseeding and topdressing. The garden is in a partially shaded area and struggles with leaves each winter.
When I arrived the customer had removed a number of patio slabs and asked me to seed under those. I hadn't anticipated this, so I did the best I could with what I had brought. Otherwise, I would have brought some additional topsoil in to bring the soil level up a little bit.
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...
Any questions? Please comment below and Ill do my best to answer

Thanks Shaun. Another great video. You can really feel the transformation already. It will be great to see the effects in a few weeks. You mentioned you couldn’t get the aerator to the back garden, but a bit of extra scarification could help? With aeration? Good to see the compost lasting longer that the previous superfine compost material! Many thanks
@LawnRight
@LawnRight 2 роки тому
Hi.. sorry about that.. I meant it would help with germination. Being well scarified producing good deep grooves for seeds to Nestle into as opposed to being snugly kept safe inside an aeration hole 😊

Thank you for this video. We moved in two years ago and the grass looks so dull, grows extremely quickly and doesn’t have much life to it. I think this has encouraged me to give it a go. Just wanted to ask, after using the aerator and planting the seeds you then used a compost. Am I able to use top soil or must it be a compost? I hope the question makes sense. Thank you

@LawnRight

Hi, definitely a shaded mix. I would overseed the whole lawn so it all blends in too... even so, you may still get issues as grass does need 3 hours minimum of direct sun to thrive. There are several varieties Ive not tried that claim to work extremely well but havent tried yet.. The only shade mix Ive tried is the hurrels HM5 mix

@LawnRight
@LawnRight 3 місяці тому
Hi.. So the more steps done the better the result.. Heavy rain or strong winds can blow or move seeds around.. You will get some germination though... You can shuffle feet over the surface to press them in a bit for a better result an dyou can scatter compost by hand and using a brush to gently work it in

Hi John, if it's looking like theres a few obvious bare spots then it would pay to put some seed down and a covering of soil of compost but if it's literally just "thinner" everywhere you can probably just get away without seeding and pop some fertiliser on.. if you do seed I would probably leave the a1 fert for a month, or if any just a very light dose on.

@@LawnRight thanks for the update! My garden is the same shape and fence height, the left side is crap and liverwort/moss has taken over with very thin areas of grass throughout, the right hand is totally fine, i’m convinced not enough sun is the issue, but perhaps the turf and seed i’ve laid just isn’t suited for shady areas. Going to apply your methods in the video and hopefully have some success! what seed would you recommend for shady areas?

I see a lot of American and Canadian gardeners use sand when leveling, scarifying, seeding etc. What are your thoughts on using sand instead of, or as well as, compost?

Hi I dont have a favourite . I just go for any multipurpose compost that looks half decent. I've used b&q verve in purple bags many times.. home bargains compost and also field number 4 compost from a company called field compost. Thanks

Great Video mate. How much would you roughly charge for this, if you don't mind me asking. My garden is a similar size, we moved in this time last year and the grass has turned into a mud swamp over the winter period. I'm quite a practical guy as a result of my trade but I'm useless when it comes to sewing a lawn !
@LawnRight
@LawnRight Рік тому
Depending on who is doing it, could be as little as £150 to maybe £300 other extras could be additional soil for example.. thanks!

I am in the US and I would really like to know how to get rid of the crab grass in our lawn. I actually removed it by hand and then spread grass seed. The grass didn’t grow but the crabgrass came back and is taking over a section of the yard. Last spring I put stuff down before the new sprouts came out and I am at a loss. What do you suggest? 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@LawnRight
@LawnRight Рік тому
Hi a pre emergent should help prevent crabgrass, but for removal you'll need something like "Scott's spot weed control for lawns"

Is it safe to use weed killer before putting garden soil and then planting frog grass?
@LawnRight
@LawnRight Рік тому
Hi as with any herbicide you are best waiting till it's no longer in the ground residually. here in the Uk this period is typically at least 4 to 6 weeks... BUT if you were doing a "total kill" with Roundup for example you could reduce the time of waiting to 2 to 3 weeks Remember that frog grass typically doesn't really do well if it is in shade AND has a lot of heavy foot traffic (jjust something to bear in mind)

Can you give an idea of how much you charge for this please? And any reason you chose to seed it instead of turf? Thanks
@LawnRight
@LawnRight 2 роки тому
Hi all companies charge differently but for reference it was around half days work so it depends on material cost plus what company wants to earn. If you were getting someone in it would be at least £150.. went for seed due to cost saving. Typically a fraction of turfing cost. I've read and believe turfers charge around £10 to £15 a square metre
