Superb Lawn Daniel, thought mine was good till i saw this

Haha ! First thing I ever learned in landscaping, No Gas On the Grass.

Yes Danny!! 🙌

Hi, great video thanks. Can you tell me what NPK fertiliser you used and what application rate did you apply?

Fantastic video. Really helpful. Do you have a personal preference to what time of year you normally renovate?

Hi Daniel, why do you sand and in another video, you used compost. I’m currently redoing my lawn and need to fill in some dips to. Then reseed. I do have some top soil dug out from the patio job. If I weave that, could it be used to filling the dips or top dressing after seed. Any advice appreciated. Thank you

purity soil conditioner gets shut of worms.its an organic tree extract and they do come back into the area

Hi Dan thanks for this, planning something similar for mine soon. Where do you get your top dressing from?

HI. what kind of fertilizer to use for lawn seeding? %N, %K %P? What amount per square meter? I need an advice. Thank you

What does the top dressing consist of in the bags? What do you call it?

Hi Daniel, what do you mean by 70/30 top dressing? Is it just kiln dried sand on top of fertilizer and grass seed in that order? Thanks Paul

@DanielHibbertLawnExpert

Hi Daniel. Fantastic videos and great lawns ! I’ve been teaching myself from the last few years and get some great comments on my lawn but like yourself I have really high expectations and love the football so Johnson’s premier pitch is for me too so I’m thinking of killing my grass off with weed killer as Id love to have the above and I have a front lawn that has 2 small trees and a thin web of roots underneath the turf. My question is if I rip it all up to lay Johnson’s premier pitch lawn seed how far do I have to dig down to remove all the root rubbish and start again with top soil ? The back is similar with no trees but thin roots too. Thanks in advance 👍

You wanna get as many roots up as possible but be mindful that they will grow back and probably faster as your feeding the lawn the tree roots will take it up, id definately ideally wanna be 6inches of soil but some of my lawns theres in some places 3, Why not try a dwarf rye, im moving away from premier pitch, youll get the same colour and plant species but wont need cutting as much, my next two videos im using limigrain mm50, like wimbledon do, will give me a rye surface but wont be as needy as wont grow as tall, and disease tolerance is better, boston utds new ground uses it so you still get the football look, Remember also ive been doing lawns for 25 years if not more so even though we may have the same bag of seed our end results may differ, my lawns dont come out of the bag , they come from want, passion and perseverence! Like no point doing it then going away for 2 week and leaving it to grow, its a dedication its a commitment and its like having baby that never grows up! Good luck on your lawn journey and be sure to follow my new videos in the coming weeks when the temps rise and send photo updates!!

@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert I’ll have a look at the dwarf rye and thanks for the detailed reply. I’ll take any advice you can spare. Completely understand that it’s a passion and results don’t come from the bag, I’m looking for perfection every day, the wife thinks I look after the lawn more than I do her. The fact that I get thin roots now is probably down to the fact that it’s fed and looked after well, so if the very thin string like roots are going to come back anyway shall I just kill of the grass and go from there with a thin layer of topsoil with the seed you mentioned ?

@@stenchosmells Yeah i have plants and bushes that have just crept into the lovely fresh depth of soil, it doesnt kill the grass theres just more competition for water so i gotta water alot more, in my next job as theres a bit of depth im lining the floor with fleece to stop worms coming up so maybe it could work with roots? But there would have to be good depth of soil to do this as it would just dry the lawn out if it was near the surface

@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert Thanks for getting back to me, ok cool. That's good, then as I just ordered a few 100 meters worth, so will still use it. I literally just ordered x2 tons of topsoil from Rowlan, but should I have ordered top dressing instead? Maybe I should have bought one ton of each? I am scarifying and then overseeding. What is the difference? I have applied iron sulphate so will be ready to scarify in a week and lay seed etc. Also do you come out to Nottingham, or too far? I don't think I can keep up the maintenance every year. lol.

The horrid German word "Vertikutierer" is simply a Germanised version of the English 'Verti-Cut' there is no differentiation between a vertical cutter and scarifier in common use German. Thomas Mascaro introduced the first veritical mower, the Verti‐Cut in 1955
