Lawn Care Tips that work? Discover how to get a nicer Greener lawn. Hi, I'm Shaun, and I run Lawnright Ltd (a lawn care business in South Yorkshire, United Kingdom). I'm also fanatical about lawns. This channel is here to provide lawn care tips, advice and help for all lawn care enthusiasts, as well as showcase some of the work I get up to on a daily basis.
As a lawn care provider, I get to visit hundreds of lawns each month. This gives me a chance to see what's happening out there and provide solutions. It also means I get to put solutions down in videos right here.
At times, my tips may push the boundaries of what is generally accepted. However, these are given because I have tested them and produced results. As a lawn care business owner, we often have very limited windows of time to apply certain products or carry out certain procedures, so this is what has forced me to try things out during times when it is less than perfect.
Thanks for viewing my channel. Shaun

Awesome upload n step by step advice to using herbicide. When I spray as a precaution I've taken down clothes etc hanging over head in close proximity spraying area from the effects of overspray. N worn long sleeve, rubber gloves n charcoal mask. Just to be safe for health reasons. Kudos for vid. Looking forward to ur next one. Peace
Thanks!
Top dress with what over Bermuda seed? Peet moss crumbled lightly all over? In Texas.
_Before you wrote "Hollow tine aerator", it sounded like "Hollotyne aereator"... and I was wondering what complex soil biological process "holotyne" is?_ 🤣🤣
Lovely to keep the memories going with the sunflowers. My condolences to you and your family.
Wont the weedol stop any of the patches thickening or not work right if overseeding the thin bits?
Dude! You so deserved that bacon butty! So much good info. I may just try your method on my own back garden. Thanks so much and best wishes to you ☺
Sorry for your loss Shaun. I've had a recent health scare myself. I was in hospital for 1 week. Your videos helped me I can tell you.
try a shot gun bro
Day 7 since scorching my yard with roundup concrete. It is starting to brown and dry out now, but a quick second spray over again. Plan is it scarify in 2-3 weeks and then get to work. Is it too late in the year to start all of this and putting together a new lawn?
Great video. Lovely touch with the sunflowers. Whenever I have grown them the seed heads always attract birds.
I've just got that a1 fertilizer how many times can you use it a year thanks
Ahhh nvm looking at the hedge more closely I can see why you are deciding on the fence idea, it is rather rough. A1 fertilizer is the one I also use, I'm glad it's not just me who thought it needed a lot of product! Sorry for your loss 🙌
Hi Shaun, Good to see your taking sometime for yourself as it is good for your soul Am sure the lawn will come back to its best in no time Thanks for all your videos not only are the extremely helpful but are also great to watch
Keep the hedge, mine was similar, 4 years later its looking pristine and I'm glad I did not get a fence.
Yet another great tutorial. My lawn was looking quite similar to yours not so long ago. First of all, I'm a total novice and rely on professional lawn care experts like yourself for guidance. Unfortunately as I live in northern Ireland it is really exorbitant to order lawn care products from the mainland. Therefore, I have came up with a " tea mixture" and it has resulted in my lawn looking like a putting green ( my neighbours words, not mine) I simply apply a 50/50mix of Miracle grow ever green liquid and Doff concentrated liquid seaweed applied with a garden hose attachment. The results after applying this are amazing, my lawn is much healthier and greener looking, and the sward has got really thicker. I just wanted to let you know that there is a way to rejuvenate what might seem a lost couse without breaking the bank. Just on a note, that is a beautiful tribute to your sister my friend, I'm actually doing the same thing here for a recently lost family member. Best wishes from Northern Ireland...Billy.
I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for your videos.
46 nitrogen and an extra 10 from the A1 Fert. Geez Shaun. You'll be cutting that hourly. Never mind every few days 😂 On a separate note. Do you ever use humic acid? It's something I apply every month.
Hi Shaun, what professional weed killer are you using? I’ve looked at the broad leaf weed killers on A1 Lawn. Can you apply the fertiliser and broadleaf weed killer together ?
Get a cat, they'll keep the squirrels and birds at bay.
Cannot wait to see the result!
Really good advice. Thank you!
I get what your saying about not wanting the sunflower head eaten, I'd of felt the same until I heard about someone who was having flowers stollen from a grave side, it wasn't until their family seen it was actually a rabbit eating them and decided it was actually quite cute as if the animals and chosen to visit the plants / grave side. You might not be so keen as might spoil the appearance of your garden
Hi Shaun, another good episode, thanks for the content. I’m looking at transitioning from a Rye dominant lawn to a Bent / Fescue lawn, do you think I should go for it in autumn or wait until next spring?
FIRST
Yoi are a hard working one man show! Much respect to you.
What exactly is thatch then?
A layer of dead or decaying matter that slows down rain and nutrients so they don't reach the soil as easy.. Like a thatched roof
@@LawnRight ah perfect! Thank you. I thought it was the general density of the grass so thanks for clarifying. I think the phrase "getting my thatch cut" for hair didn't help!
Here the same. Just spent €150 on seeds and everything… all washed away.
😢😢😢
Ho do I get rid of lumps bumps and dips in my lawn please ?
Hi you can cut bumps off.. Or lift the turf and remove soil from under it.. This video will help with the dips kzread.info/dash/bejne/mniOtJKteszQhag.html. Thanks
Hi, just started watching your videos, great content. Our lawn has not been scarified in over 10 years! Is the process still the same or should I start gently for first year or so?
Hi it's still the same process but your likely to see it looking very rough for a few weeks but it will recover with plenty of watering... You can also go gently as you said but it'll take time to get down through the layers and may need a few repeated goes of get to where you need to be
@@LawnRight the journey starts here 👍
I have just started to cut lawns and enjoyed watching your video. You are very informative and do a very very good professional job. Keep up the good work and Thanks. Phil 🇬🇧
Thanks Phil 👍
Hello Shawn. How do you spell the name of that tool (loot?), the soil leveler. I’ve used a chain drag in the past, with limited success. The tool you’re using appears to be a much more effective tool. It’s rather like a concrete finishing float, isn’t it… Thank you
Hi it's spelled Lute. Many thanks
“I’ll put it in me neighbors’ bins”… I do that too, but ‘round midnight, when nobody’s watching. It’s rather frowned upon in my part of Los Angeles California.
Same here.. I asked my neighbor once and was told they needed it. Never asked again 😁. I think she sin a very close knit community where they all get on
You have bigger problems than hills and valleys... start with you drainage issues... The Greenskeeper...
That expensive rake looks like my £10 soil rake from The Range. I used it on my lawn and apart from the occasional chunk being ripped up it worked well for prepping for overseed.
I have a contract with a housing association who only have 6 cuts a year! Every time I turn up the grass is longer than the last time I turned up. Anything I can do other than glyphosate fence lines or is it just the fact that 6 cuts a year is always going to look terrible. Thanks
Yeah 6 cuts just isnt anywhere near enough to be fair. Unless you charged more to cover the extra time. For lush grass it needs cutting g weekly or more often but associations etc just need it cut so I dloool to see if you can either do more cuts or up the price to allow an extra hour each visit.. Or something along those lines
Hi Shaun! Since watching your videos I've been inspried to get outside and work on my garden/lawn and I am really enjoying it so huge thanks! I recently tried scarifying for the first time about 4/5 weeks ago. I am thinking about doing a touch of reseeding in some areas of my lawn too where it's stayed quite thin in some areas after scarifying. However I have a lawn that is partially in the shade for pretty much most of the day. My lawn slopes quite a bit in areas too and especially at the bottom in the shade it gets pretty damp and extremely mossy I think quite a bit of rain collects there at the bottom of the slope. In short I have a bit of everything really, sunny spots and very shaded spots, a huge amount of moss, slopes and poor drainage in certain areas which I suspect is not helped by a thick London clay base beneath. It's making it a nightmare for me to decide what sort of seed I should buy to set things in the right direction. If you have any pointers for me and my challenges ahead with breathing new life into my lawn that'd be great! Thanks once again for the amazing videos and getting me back outdoors!
Hi I'd def choose a shaded seed. There are several around to choose from. I'd wist until all this dastardly rain has gone away else it'll get wash further downhill.. Then once seeded keep damp for a month with light mistings.. I'd also def fork or aerate the lawn (or at worst, just thebits to be seeded) before seeding. Sprinkle some gypsum down as well and cover it all in a thin layer of topsoil to help keep seeds in place.. A final cover of compost can start adding some organic stuff in
@@LawnRight Thank you!
Do you think using a tine attachment at plus 2mm is any good for the lawn to cut off any longer lateral growth? It could be too aggressive for that use.
I guess it depends how accurate each machine is. 2mm is so minimal it would only make a difference on a flat bowling green.. That's my wild assumption 🙄.. I guess all I can say is give it a go
Love to mow! Just needs to rain a bit less atm
Shaun, if rye grass doesn’t recover that well, what type of seed would you recommend for the standard lawn?
Just a general amenity will be fine for mnay lawns 😊
I mow every 3 days but put feed down so it needs it every 3 days
😊👍
Hi Shaun love the videos I have started to see some you tubers promoting pree germinating their seeds is this something you have done before
Hi I've never actually done it. Not a bad idea but just never bothered so far.. Def an idea for the future
@@LawnRight sounds like a interesting video to test the difference 👍🏽
