Thank you for sharing your skills and experience. I like many others, have learnt a great deal from you. 👍🏻
I've been following you for a little while now and I've been using your tips and tricks on my own lawn and it's the best it's ever looked
I thoroughly enjoy your meticulous and craftsmanship approach to every yard. You have a tried and true system and it is enjoyable to watch. Well done again
Ah, the gardener's shuffle! Reminded me of my days at Capel Manor. Best regards!
My lawn is finally getting there. Had to remove 50 metres of hedges, then get rid of ie burn or dump !! Fence erected in its place & now it’s been seeded at 2 levels then top dressing!! 7 years this took me, at last I can have a beautiful lawn ☺️ thank you for your videos Danny 👌
Why did you get rid of hedges for fences?
@@Dante-vf4sd simply because of the maintenance Dante. The hedge was over 2 metres wide, 6feet high and 50 metres long. Just to much work 🥴 I did have the hedges looking really good but just to much maintenance!!
@@thedj5914 I see, 50 m is a bit hefty, did you have those new non wooden(can't think what material they are🥴) fences put in?
@@Dante-vf4sd no no treated fence wood. Yeah the hedge was blocking the sun from 70% of the garden aswell which isn’t great if you want a lawn 🥴
@@thedj5914 I see, so you'll swap 2 or 3 trims a year(no easy task on a hedge 50 mtrs) for a stain every 3 years or so plus replacement costs etc and like you say a hedge can't be as thin as a fence so it's going to cover more lawn from sunlight, even if you reduced the height (which isn't always possible if your hedge is conifer for example).
Spot on as usual Danny!
Superb job. Such a professional.
I've now got the same rake to clear up after scarifying. B&Q didn't have them in stock, but ScrewFix also sell the same rake but with a red grip.
Aeration is totally required if not for anything other than drainage so you don’t get those slimey patches in your lawn like you showed.
Top work Dan
Smashing it.great content yet again.
Great video as always Dan! I have learned and am still learning so much from you so thank you for all the content. Quick couple of questions, what benefit does the fleece afford you? Secondly, mixture of seed are you putting down? Is matching what is already down necessary or can you change the seed type of the lawn with each overseed that you do?
Great forking technique Daniel
Great job Daniel, looking forward to see the results!!
Only a fool would ever bother to argue with Daniel Hibbert when it comes to lawn care...His skills and knowledge in the lawn game is off the charts 🔥
Here here
Love Dan’s videos and have done my own but I find products ridiculously expensive, fair play to this guy and his lawn it must cost him a small fortune, products have doubled overnight especially compost I’ve only got an average size lawn so verticuting weed grass for example drags up the compost from the previous season and the cycle of cost starts again 😡 I love it but wish it was a reasonable cost
Nice one Daniel.
good stuff, one step back 10 steps forward
Thanks for all the guidance Dan. Would love to get mine looking decent but have so many ant hills it's like a patchwork quilt. They're doing my nut in!
At least you don't have skunks and racoons digging up your lawn looking for grubs that eat your grass roots :)
@@jamesweber4938 yeah you're right mate, it could definitely be worse. Got plenty of holes from birds looking for chafer grubs though but at least they are a little bit more dedicated to a single spot than something digging with its feet
Put a spade in each hill about 6 inches deep, wiggle it open a tad, sprinkle some ant poison in and close up the slit with your boots… gotta be on it with them ants! Mines the same, this is all that gets rid of them, then level it with the scarifier spring and autumn.
Can not wait to see what looks like in 3 weeks
I love this Video because U take a 'Shot' at the Aerators....Just thinking about you 'Bro'. Take care
Your devotion to BWFC is commendable, you should be their groundsmen, you could be up there with Burgess and Calderwood, the elite in pitch management 😂😂, 👍
I followed Daniel’s advice and been rewarded with great results. I used Daniel’s seed and products too. Thank you Daniel.
Hi Dan. I took the fleece off over the weekend. New grass looks good but I have loads of what looks like young clover. I doubt it was in the No4 but its come fro somewhere. Cn I just leave it and weed kill later?
Cheers
IMO your best work has always been this lawn. Every year it gets better. Will be outstanding within the month. Wonder what Simon would say?😂
Been listening to podcasts today the william hill soonsered one then re listening to talk sport on the podcast and heard the all boats rise at high tide today from last week, also ad infinitim today, he loves the word meritocracy and invidious and vitriolic and dont forget if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, ITS A DUCK!!
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert you’ll be doing Howard’s lawn ad infiniteum! 👍
Was having withdrawl symptoms! Another great video. Ive joined the facebook group and im going to share my journey stsrting from scratch.
You've inspired me to sort my garden out!
I was born in Birmingham England, but been in the states since 6 years old (35 years old now) . I have a lawn care business here in florida for 10 years now and im happy, but man what would i give to go back home to the UK and make a good living...that would be the dream. Love the content, liked and subbed!
Well not much money over hear for it as you need alot of customers like over a 1000 espec if its like a 3 month service like greenthumb or something
Awesome Video 👍 And a cracking idea putting in the H2GO in the water butt 💯👊
Did it last year watch the vid thumbnailed watering made easy
Hi Dan. Got a similar question to another subscribers. I'm suffering with meadow grass this year. Hand picking every couple of days at the minute. Is a pre emergent available to apply late summer to break their cycle? Top notch content again.
No not in this country
Great content Daniel, have learnt so much from watching your videos. You make it look so easy. I’m currently in the process of levelling and overseeing my lawn. I was hoping you could help, should I apply stellar and H2GO together before throwing the seed down, not sure which order I should apply each product in? Thanks for your help.
Could do h2go first yes but use the steller after germination
these Vids are so satisfying to watch, my lawns are is a desperate state, and are in need of some tlc.
What is the purpose of the fleece ?
Lots keeps heat in water in birds off flowers off trees off in essence debris
Another no nonsense vid
Can’t wait to see it progress
What seed rate are you looking to put into this one Dan
I put 5kg over 300m2
I see the owner supports the eagles, Hodgson still doing the job!
Phenomenal Daniel, Were you talking about Chelsea too?
Great video yet again. How long will you wait until first cut after over seeding? It's been a couple of weeks since I did mine and old grass is now ~2 inches and new is between nothing yet to around 1 inch. Thinking I should cut?
Cut
Great video Dan. One question. How long does grass seed last when stored in a shed, one season, two seasons..? Got a bagful which is over a year old now!
If opened loses 20% efficacy every year but unopened lasts lot longer
Not sure if you know, but your eBay link in your descriptions is never clickable. It doesn’t appear as blue text on iPhone. Might be missing sales - if you’ve got anything on your shop.
Love the channel and your results speak for themselves mate. Quick Q, at what point in the year would you say it is too late to scarify, overseed and top dress? Is the window about to close now until autumn?
Mid May is about the limit depending what part of the uk you are !!
Anytime mate aslong as you can water and dont mind looking at the mess
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert appreciate the reply mate, cheers.
Glad the poor Chelsea fan will have a nice lawn to look at while drowning his sorrows 😂
I know hes gutted lol
Hi Daniel I’ve been working on my lawn recently, over-seeded etc. it’s had wetting agent on too. What products should I put on next? Thanks for your videos very well put together.
My products?
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert Hi Yes
Doing the old gardeners shuffle I see great for closing pore space not so great in the nightclubs 😂
Works wonders in nightclubs
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert noted for the next I go to one, but that will probably be to collect me kids 🤣
@@danw8586 lol
Would you recommend scarifying when the soil is very dry or a bit wet?
Either way
Do you think with the current weather it’s too late for me to scarify and overseed my lawn?
No im
Doing one as we speak
Dan I’m removing my turf and looking to create a new lawn from seed… would you use root zone or 50/50 mixed root zone to create the level to spread the new seed on?
I use rootzone from easylawn then add no 4 field compost to it
How long will you keep the fleece on Dan and how often should you water the fleece
Will water daily with these winds drying it out or keith will, will keep them on week-10 days
Hi Dan, do you remember the name of the seeds you have used on this lawn? Btw I truly enjoy watching your videos which helped me to renovate my own.
Thank you
Johnsons prem pitch
Hey why not use a peat moss spreader to spread the compost? Do you find your current method easier?
Didnt use compost in the main on this job, i use what most people have which is a rake or brush
I don't need to scarify, the Ants seems to be doing it for me.
D Hib... have you tried PGRs for the POA problem? Attraxor seems to have half decent feedback...
Yeah i have
Great video as always, looking forward to the results. I have a couple of random question for you, I'm sure you have spoken about them before but I am a new subscriber and just getting into lawn care. Weeds, do you manually remove or do you use any particular products? Second one is ants, what do you do if you find ants settling into your lawns and causing piles of soil on the surfaces? Thanks
Weedkiller for lawns i use ants dont have a problem so dont know the answer
ants dont like boiling water poured directly on their holes-works like magic leaves no residue
@@kimmiles3071 but boiling water kills the grass?
@@kimmiles3071nothing likes boiling water poured on it 😂😂😂
I am using an electric lawn rake it’s picking up in the bag some of the loose grass but leaving more on my lawn than in the bag.
Is it normal for a turf lawn just 12 months since the turf was laid to need raking so soon
Yeah even a new lawn will need raking
Hi Dan. Regarding the fleece which you used from Groundstores ...what is the gsm please?
Not sure tbh i dont think there was a choice it was just a roll of fleece
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert thanks anyway
Another great video! What’s the music, it’s soooo relaxing.

@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert thanks Daniel. Would love to be able to ask you a couple of questions re my lawn and send pics to expand. And happy to donate for your advice as I know it’s your living. :-)
@@ReminiscenceIbiza join the fbook group and upload
Quick question. Usually you tend to use compost for the last layer of soil. In this video you used a sandier top dress it seems. Why is that?
Watch the video all the way through
Will scarifier get all the weeds out as well or is it best to put some weed and feed on first thanks
Will get small ones out but most will need treatment ie buttercup dandelion etc
Great job as always. Any reason you chose not to spread compost over the seed on this one?
Aye i say in the vid
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert if I only
I had watched another 10 seconds before I pressed send on that comment…
Another question, how long do you leave fleece on for?
@@wilsonc4027 dont i say that aswell?? 😂 in the same sentence? If not i apologise, 7-10 days
@@wilsonc4027 always watch till the end
😂 thanks!!
Is Root Zone there same as the Bathgate 70/30? I used Bathgate but might have covered a bit too thick compared to this video - hoping it will all come through.
No its very different but half as cheap
Why do you cover it with root zone? In other videos you use other composts. Great video. There is a bit of everything!
I say at the end
Dan, can’t wait for the result videos! Have Field Compost 4 and Equilibrium. Should I put the Equilibrium down first, or the No 4 and split them a few weeks apart?
Always put the fert down after the grass has come through
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert legend! As ever!
I must have missed it - but what brand of top dressing are you using?
Easylawn rootzone whats underneath
Good job, what fleece do you use. Are they one use only?
No you can reuse its just garden fleece on a roll
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert Thnks for sharing! How long do you keep the lawn covered with it. Maybe I missed it…English isn’t my first language 😊. Greetings from The Netherlands.
@@rafa1282 7-10 days
Hi Daniel, is this 50/50 rootzone? Easylawn list 2 variants "clean" and "50/50", not sure what the difference is and whether this ratio works better for moderate to fine leveling
I just had a look as the price is very good. However I suspect the shipping quote I get to the midlands will be crazy.
From the pics it doesn't look like it's screened though (maybe a large size) and is only for use as a seed bed. I've already screened (6mm) half a tonne this year & I can still remember the pain 🤣
@@chriscole3624 Hi Chris, they're located in Bolton which isn't far from me so collection in bag form might be possible. Dan name checked them and presumably what you saw being added came from there which is why i asked him (if he kindly replies) which of the two listed he used. The prices are close but there are two named variants.
@@Stormin_Mike They gave me a quote for haulage. I was impressed with the quick response! But It seems like a std cost for shipping a pallet around the country, so I should probably be responsible and use a local supplier.
Just be careful how many bags you put in your vehicle unless it's designed for excess weight.
@@chriscole3624 it's an oldish X5 with self levelling and had half of IKEA flatpack in it so few kilos won't harm it.
Brilliant job Daniel :)
What number on the drop spreader for seeding 4 ?
Seeding 4?
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert sorry what number on the drop spreader do you use for seeding please ?
Are pre emergents banned in the UK, they would help a lot with Wintergrass/Poa
Not all but most
What’s the best time of year to do this please?
Anytime in the growing season aslong as you willing to water
Has that grey deck always been there ?
No it got replaced last year from the wood
Dan, it’s Dan. Is there a reason why you went over with 70/30 after seeding, as opposed to with Field 4 as you have on other lawns?
Yeah say in the vid,
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert so you do! Just watched it again and my answer is in the last 60 seconds!
@@razzledan77 bet your one of these who leaves the match with 10 mins to go!!

Evening Daniel,
As a fellow lawn care enthusiast I would really really appreciate your full honest opinion for purchasing my next lawn mower. I'm in the trade and looking to purchase a machine that I can use almost in any garden but will give me the option of really nice accurate British lines we all love. Is there such a machine out there? I know cylinder mowers have to be used on very even lawns ( as you know not your average house hold lawn ) can you see my point I'm struggling to find options that will give me the results of a cylinder mower but can handle uneven and lumpy lawns. so I'm looking to seek your opinion with all your experience for the best mower I should be pointed towards for the best results to wow customers but also manageable to use on any lawn?

Hi Daniel, it would be great to turn off the HDR feature as it is over processing the videos and lowering the quality. Just something to consider
Dan look forward to seeing this in 3 weeks . How many hours did this all take ?
About 10 hours
Will my barenburg extreme ryegrass die off in winter ?
Seen a few comments from other lawn guys that ryegrass on its own suffers in the winter
I’m really happy with it right now. Fully renovated only three weeks ago and it’s cracking. Followed all the tips and used the same products from your range
Doesnt just die off there has to be a reason like shade or poor drainage
I have used dwarf rye /fescue mix seeds & used Daniels tips & tricks - I cut to 8mm - the rye does not like shade or heavy wet soil (poa conditions)
why root zone a a top dressing instead of your peat free compost this time?
Say in the vid coz i needed to fill the holes in
Are you taking on new clients? Would love to have you sort our lawn!
No mate i’d just do what i do in the videos which basically would make me a labourer and thats not that idea behind this its to give me a break lol
Why are you seeding this lawn again? Does the rye grass keep dying off?
Just over seeding keeps it fresh and yeah lots of die back from worm cast damage, weed grass removal etc
It's a great business model :)
I’m guessing your using the rootzone top dressing because it’s sterilised and your suspecting that the field No4 Is contaminated with POA because I’ve noticed everyone who’s used it including myself has an issue with annual meadow grass and I never get that on my lawn until now
No deffo not howards lawn in chorley is completely clean so im not buying into that theory as used 20 bags on there-as is steves lawn on the right where i have used it also , i use field compost in the video, i use the rootzone as knew i would have half a tonne over so used it on the rest of lawn and got three tonnes in all, ive never touch this lawn with field no 4 till now and the lawn is riddled with it anyway so wheres it come from? Its in the rain, its in the wind its in the birds its in the pavements its in parks, fields its just everywhere
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert 👍 It’s just me thinking out loud as the field compost is not sterilised
Did a lawn reno last month ... it's turned out not great lol you wouldn't be impressed Dan
He's in Spain and back on the 26th I've had to go down b and q for turf and patch it up and blast with feed lol :)))))
What happened?
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert not quite sure lol tho I did see some fat type of wormy grubs in there while patching parts up with the turf where the seed and compost didnt take great

The fast forward does not do justice to the amount of effort you put in. Maybe you could give an indication of how many hours each job has taken because you make it look so easy?
About 10 hrs this one
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert amazing, can't wait to see the results
For me a nice lawn is one with lots of clover and other flowers for bees and bumblebees and other insects. Otherwise it's a desert.
Theres thousands off bees i the borders on all the flowers, humans need grass to make oxygen so we can all live so think about that before you spout off
What’s the best seed to use?
Grass seed
Verticut
still sunk a bit there even after all the attention you gave it.
Yeah cant recreate years of time and pressure by walking on it if this was possible id be able to make diamonds
