I love the way you explain things in a clear and simple way. I've been a self-employed gardener for just 18 months and your videos have improved my knowledge and confidence to try new tasks. I have been asked to level lawns several times but, because I've never done one, I've shied away from it. I have a customer who wants me to quote on levelling her sons lawn, which is why I watched this particular video. Many thanks big man.

Balance your cuts and fills. Use sod from high points to fill low points. Use dirt from high points to smooth things out.

One thing not yet mentioned is the fact that a dip in the soil might actually be a swale that is designed / intended to guide water away from structures and toward lower lying drainage areas. Filling a swale might result in water getting into the structure.

Could you mix the seed with the topsoil when filling? I have a really bad patch that needs filling

Do you have any thoughts on old, decayed tree roots? Do I need to remove them or can I just fill in where they've decayed/sunk down? I think the previous owner took the tree out about 10 years

Hi could I ask what fertilizer can you put straight on after overseeding please

1: Urine is a very good and free lawn fertilizer. I saw it particularly when a hose broke on my urine spreader. A couple weeks later it looked like our tall grass was three times higher than the rest and a very dark green colour, so diluting it is key. 2: If you have more of a meadow type lawn where you want ho preserve the biodiversity you can remove the top layer, fill in underneath and roll the top layer back. Or fill with very thin layers of soil over several years.

I’ve followed pretty much all of your videos and gone from what looked like corn stubble to a deep green, soft lawn. Now I’ve gone down the rabbit hole of lawncare, I’m seeing how bumpy my lawn is.
