Hi Robbie can you point me in the the right direction of getting my grass back to match the rest of lawn basically I’ve had the kids pool up all summer and packed it away yesterday it’s totally gone do I need to strip it out and reseed or will it come back with a scarifer and top dress ?

A compost spreader such as the “landzie” does pretty damn good job of spreading “dried” sand.. I actually bought a WALENSEE as it’s 50-60$ less then the landzie. Imo the welensee is better then the landzie and for less$$. Lobe the tool. Spreads sand dirt compost perfectly ..

I didn't get the chance to try the landzie with sand so don't know to be honest

Another great video. When you renovated & overseed it would have been as level as you could get it - so for clarity please can you confirm : 1) a soil/compost mix on top of seed is appropriate? 2) Top dressing with USGA or 70/30 sand is primarily to fill in any small dips, voids & imperfections ? The use of say a Landsee compost spreader (I’m not promoting such) would distribute nutrients in the form of a compost (as opposed to sand - having very little nutrients). Your point about ( 100% ? ) compost alone being a poor levelling medium is interesting & noteworthy. I suppose I’m clarifying…… sand, soil & compost all have a place & their uses in lawn care ?

Hi Graeme My lawn is built from 70/30 sand/soil so there is a lot of sand already there. 70/30 is great for levelling or soil (screened is best) Compost is no good as it breaks down I didn't on this occasion want to get into why I'm using sand and everyone else should use soil as that would cause some confusion I always try and encourage people to use soil over everything else.

You can use a pallet, that's pretty much free It depends on your undulations. A lute may suit your needs better. There are no right or wrongs.

@@Premier_lawns_official Thanks for that Robbie. I am willing to spend the money but want to spend it on the right tool. My front garden is pretty flat. My back garden is a whole other story.

A big lawn lute is probably your best option

I need to level our lawn (400m2) and can get 50/50 top dressing or 70/30 what would you suggest? Lawn is very undulating laid by builders 18m ago and has some deep dips.

70/30 will be easier to dress the lawn with. For Bigger dips more soil would be better

One one part of the side of my lawn, the last 20 inches or so slopes down slightly all the way to the edge. It’s about 2 metres in length What’s the best way to level this section ?

That sounds much more like a landscaping project that topdressing. Maybe would need to build the bank up with something then bring in soil to level

Hi Robbie, where can you get (Lisburn/Belfast area) USGA sand without paying an arm and a leg for stuff from garden centres.

@@Premier_lawns_official lol, nooo. Robbie I would only need about 1/2 a ton at the most. Although the overall garden front and back is a few hundred square yards it is mostly over steep banks between 8 and 10 foot high at the back and side of the house but at the front there is small flat lawn areas of a total under 75 sq yards that I want to get it into a nice condition and a more formal first class lawn but the rest will be a mixture of banks of Rhododendrons, Azaleas, Camellias along with flower beds some structural terraces faced with railway sleepers and walkways and paths. I leveled it up this smaller area 2 years ago with a good well screened topsoil from the garden but its as bad as ever after the wet winter we've had. The only thing I've no personal experience using is the good sand but its gets scarifieried, aeration and well fed when needed by myself. I just don't want to the trouble of re-turfing it yet but it wouldn't be the first garden that I've thrown the head in air over, killed the grass and started over. If you or anybody reading this knows of anyone with about half a big bag or thereabouts left over it would be more than enough for what I need and I'm happy to pay for it just not at a pound a kg for garden centre bags. Thanks G

The lawn looks fabulous. Can I ask, when you killed it off, you didn't remove the turf. In what circumstances do you feel the turf should be removed or is it enough to heavily scarify? Cheers.
