Danny. I am 75 years old and and suffer with arthritis in both knees and find walking very painful. Watching your videos over the past year inspired me to renovate my back lawn following your clear instructions. I now have the best lush green lawn I have ever had. I was lucky enough to get 10 bags of the old Jack's magic. Going to do my front lawn in the Autumn. Thank you.
Great comment Ray and well done mate
How wonderful ray well done
Well done Ray 👍
Top effort Ray! 👍
Well done Ray 👏
I used to use a John Deere Greens Mower with verticutter ahead of the cylinder reel. Amazing cut!
Loving these videos this week building up to Fridays hot one! Just watching the pop up sprinkler shower the lawn now so there’s a good 1.5 inches of water down in the days prior! Keep up the fantastic work oh and the odd bit of story telling !
Hi daniel, I recently discovered your videos and have found them very informative being a novice.
I watched your 5 part series from last summer (Paddys old job) and decided to give it a go.
I have a very small lawn (27m2) that is covered in weed grass, the property was a new build from 2014 and there must only be about 3 inches of topsoil with a lot of builders rubble mixed in.
So far I have scarified and over seeded with Barenburg Extreme from your E shop and spread 100 litres of Jacks Magic.
Really looking forward to seeing the outcome.
Just keep watering it
Just keep watering it
Gave in and over-seeded the lawn after three weeks since sowing perennial ryegrass as some sections were thick and >12cm and other sections were bare. It might not have been necessary, I guess I'll never know!
I believe its good to light scarify this time of year, as long as its watered and fed...awesome
That’s what I do and my lawn loves me for it.
A lot of work goes into keeping that lawn looking good. I hope the customer appreciates the amount of time and effort you put in not to mention the products that are used. Some people think professional lawn care is expensive.... they obviously don't understand what it takes to achieve this kind of perfection. Definitely need a short sleeve top Dan🥵
Trying to avoid the brown forearms/white body look
Defo shorts and T-shirt weather. What my lad calls a t**t tan but hey ho 😎
You need to get a new scarifier soon Dan
The stihl one ain't the best on thr market tho it does have them chucky blades very simular to your one and is nice and light tho I don't think it's self propelled
I got the old viking one just the same as thr new stihl one I think
Can you do a video of all the products you use like the grass seed the top dressing liquid nitrogen so i can go to the shop and buy it all im just doing my lawn from sratch your videos has really motivated me to do it but im getting confused at what to do first 2nd and how often
Lovely old job 👍 you need to show us your lawn, we need to see what must be the best in the country 😀
Flags mate
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert 🤣🤣🤣
Hi Daniel, I just placed an order with you on EBay. 👍👍👍
out of them all I found John Deere the best mowers you can use by far.
Great info as usual many thanks
Great video as usual Daniel, keep them coming pal
Happy birthday Coby.
Awesome video as usual Dan
Funny as! Brilliant stuff.
Great work as always 👍
Daniel, I am preparing for reseeding my lawn in September, I’ve verticut several times now to get the lawn back to the sandy base we put down a few years back. I’ve been applying a wetting agent along with a seaweed feed. I am thinking of applying a humic acid drench to build up the soil carbon, your thoughts on this would be so helpful.
Simply lovely
Hi Daniel, doesn't the Allett have a rake in front of it? Amazing work as usual.👏
Yes a comb but i keep it high as can dig in if too low
Lovley vid as always Love watching yours vids and now. Addicted to giving this a go on my postage stamp of a a lawn. Using the jacks magic of course… but last bag I bought today absolutely stinks I’m hoping this is a bad batch and they haven’t changed the formula
Yeah its change of formula, dont use it on lawns, i got two whitlows the day after which killed for about 3 weeks, using a stinky bag of that new formula smelt like manure, so wash your hands throughly and watch my factory reset vid for next years alternative for me
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert been washing hands for ages the smells lingering .. cheers for help🤘
Must be a right saddo. Lol. That’s what we come to your channel for Dan, a bit of abuse 😂. If being passionate about something that interests you makes you a saddo,bring it on; grass, motorbikes, footie oops should I mention the wife in that list. Great video
Brilliant video again Dan, nobody comes close to what info you share. Ordered some Equinox as Equalibrium was out of stock as i had ran out.. i just want to know am i ok to put down the Equinox over some of the Equilibrium i have already put down about 2 weeks ago. Just worried ill damage part of lawn that has been fed.. Thanks and keep up the good work for all us middle aged saddos 👍🤣
Hi, erm
If you put down afull dose of equilibrium then your prob wasting your money putting equinox down so soon as well as risking damage and then the extra cutting, but if you only put down alittle of the equilibrium then maybe go on with the equinox
Dan thanks for the reply..i had about 500g left and tried to thinly cover my 50sq² lawn with it. I'm thinking that what is down is only a light dose. I can see where ive been with it too and was going to avoid those areas.
Hey Daniel any advice on getting rid of clover. Also how do I find you on eBay? Great videos by the way I’m hooked!
Thanks Daniel, been watching your channel since March and completely renovated my lawn following your instructions and is now looking the best it's ever been. Made a schoolboy error today, put a new blade on my rotary and it scalped the lawn before I noticed. Still got grass but very low.. Do I do anything or just let it recover. Thanks from sunny Canterbury. 👍👍
Just let it recover it will come back
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert Cheers👍👍
Hi Daniel, bloody love the videos, wife is pleased as it keeps me from under her feet. Used a lot of your tips and to great effect. Just received my first order of Steller, Sow Pro and Wetting agent (thanks for the quick delivery). I'm on with ripping up the front lawn and seeding it (MM50) but I can't seem to find anyone round here (Doncaster) to supply the Rootzone, can you help guide me to anyone who will deliver to Doncaster? Keep the videos coming, I'm learning loads.
Baileys of norfolk deliver nationwide but obs pricy due to haulage costs
Many thanks Daniel, phoned Baileys all sorted 👍
So ive made a school boy error and picked up the new Jacks magic, is it still okay to use on the lawn? Oh dear oh dear
I'm also a saddo watching (and often rewatching) every video. 😀 Can I just check something please regarding the lateral reproductive shoots that you pointed out. Because I have only a small garden and time on my hands, I tease them out trying to pull out all the root of the plant. Am I doing right .......... or am I best just lifting the blades and chopping them off with the rotary?
If you pull the out no bother theres plenty more but if you can just slice through think thats better
Nice!
Brilliant video Dan. I've just started my lawn renovation after being inspired by your videos. It's currently 2 weeks after overseeding. Which fertiliser should I be using equilibrium or equinox HD. I'm unsure on the difference.
If you havent got equilibrium its equinox as i dont have any equilibrium left
Dan, bit off subject but I watched some vids a while back where when you started the lawn renovation you first killed off the lawn/weeds. What did you use to kill it all off (and does that affect the soil in anyway?) As I'm doing my own and need the answer 👨🏻🎓
Just roundup and no it breaks down in 24hrs
Hi what’s the best sand to use to flatten lawn to make less bumpy?
Great videos, I live up north .. would a fescue and bluegrass be a good mixture for my lawn??
Good evening, do you think it is worth getting the Allett Kensington just to use the verticut cassette. I am considering the allett classic 14L with the scarifier cassette. Will this be good enough. In other words, how valuable is the verticut cartridge? Will the scarify cartridge help keep the POA at bay.
I have got the galactic green but not used it yet, looking at the Stella bio boost and grace, could you explain what they each do. Or a video on your products?
If you go on ebay under each product theres a description, if you have the gg and not used it what makes you think your going to use the others if bought?
Only just got GG so will be looking to use it on after the next cut. 👍🏻
Hi Daniel, I have a question for you. Tomorrow is the day I overseed my lawn. I will cut the grass from high and then lower until I cut to number one on my Honda petrol mower. Then scarify the lawn, so the question is how low do I scarify. I have a petrol Cobra S390H Scarifer to which scarifys from 0 - 10mm. The soil is clay. I bought your seed and liquid and it works out 50g per square meter (11kg) as 220 sq2 also I have 45 25LT bags of lawn soil to put over seed but think I might need more, what do you think. Hope you can answer. I do watch your videos but don’t want to mess up a bad lawn and make it even worse.
Many thanks Daniel. Very Fast delivery of your products.
Just go as low as you can, your scarifier will let you know if your too low as you will hear it struggling, just remember never turn at the edge with scarifier touching the lawb
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert thanks Daniel. Will let you know how it goes.
Are there any vertical cutters that are somewhat affordable? Or is a powered rake the next best thing?
You can buy hand dethatchers but even they arent cheap a light scarify is a good alternative to a verticut
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert thank you Daniel
Try aldis ferrex one. Cheapest one Iv found
@@davidfrancis9861 cheers for that shout, just had a look at it. Looks great for the price, about the same money as a FB marketplace one
@@PClarkson101 ye it does a decent job. And reviews are all good to
Dan, a couple of times you’ve mentioned manhole covers under the lawns, are they special covers or have you just built up the soil level over the top as I have an unsightly drain in my lawn that is like to make disappear.
Just gone over um
Hi Daniel. What does the wetting agent do for this lawn ? I though it was for Lawns that struggle with hydration ? Thanks in advance mate
Keeps it from getting dry patch sand based very susceptible to dry patch
How do we find your facebook page - there are so many lawn care pages.
Dan, first thing your Superb. What's your ideal grass height. I have kept mine at 2 inches or 50 mm. Thanks take care.
Thats way too long needs be half that at least
Hi, new to your channel, think it’s great. Is there any difference between scarification and verticutting?
Yes scarifying goes deeper than a verticut and is more aggressive
🤣 sounds like a real saddo but happy birthday my friend..👏👏👍👍👍👍🤣🍺
So is there an argument for having a grooved front roller so it doesn’t lay so much of the grass down before then cylinder?
I dont like grooved rollers as leaves uneven finish, seen it with my own eyes at curzon ashton when i use go down once or twice divoting at ht
Hi Dan I need your advice please.
I renovated my lawn in May and all started looking good. But, I am now noticing a lot of discolouration with white/brown swords. I used your equilibrium not long ago so it's had plenty of feed and I have also applied stellar, Grace and galactic green. The only thing I can think of doing is scarifying again but I am worried it will just undo all the work I have done with the new grass that's grown. What am I missing?
Its probably the old lawn going into reproductive mode like everyone else’s at the moment, old grasses that have been down years and aren’t desirable cultivars will have cycles where they look great then they go off colour whilst they reproduce then they come back you will prob find in september your lawn looks at its best
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert cheers Dan. I'll leave it for now and keep my fingers crossed. How long would I need to leave it before scarifying again with the new grass being so young?
@@howardroberts5704 just give it few weeks yet and just keep watering this is where perseverance of the 3ps comes in
Daniel does your rotary mower have a roller on it? It still does very good stripes
Yes of course, no roller no stripes
Hey Dan.....howd u get on with that field compost?....i cant get old jacks magic in slough....gonna get my screwfix scarifier out this weekend !...my lawn has never looked so good since i started watching ur vids.....cheers buddy
Its good stuff mate just doing the video in one go not lots of small ones so will be out in couple of weeks
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert cheers for reply...its a bit expensive ....but im gonna order some.....my lawn is a little bumpy as the jacks magic breaks down....was thinking of using that 70 /30 lawn dressing as id like a really flst surface....am i barking up the wrong tree....any guidance appriciated. Cheers Dan
Brilliant videos, can you do one on ants, thanks
Dont have the answer for you
Do you have any experience of brown top bent as a lawn grass? Would you recommend it?
No i wouldnt its for professional greenkeepers at golf clubs not for the domestic user unless you have bags of cash and are a qualified greenkeeper id stay well clear
if I remember correctly this was the barenbrug extreme seed on this lawn, Ive bought this and about to rotovate level and sow, Do you have a preference between Barenbrug and Johnsons premier
Yeah the extreme as doesnt growas quick
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert dont you use mm50 anymore
Dan, in the video you used 4L of "liquid" (3.4L of water + 600ml of feed/wetting agent). Obviously you don't want to waste time (as time is money), but for the rest of us who have more time to do our own lawns, if I used 8L of liquid(7.6l of water +600ml of feed/wetting agent) over the same area 100m area, I obviously would need to walk twice as far etc, but apart from the wasted time walking, do I get the same results as 4L, after all its the same amount of feed/wetting agent going down, and in fact I'm maybe helping that wetting agent take effect by having more water in the spreader?).
Yeah waters just a carrier and you would need to walk slower maybe rather than farther that would be better and better results and yes it has its advantages as the lawn is getting 4 ltd extra of water but aslong as you dont cover more than 100 mtrs with it you are not diluting the strength
I’m using 4 of your products, steller,galactic, sow pro and grace at once, I add the correct measurements what it says to to the bottle to 5ltrs of water in a water can am I adding the right amount of water for all 4 products or am I mixing incorrectly??
@@19davidwinter88 if by watering can add all to the can and spread over the meterage so if you want to cover 10m2 for eg add 20ml of steller, 40mls of galactic, 5mls of Grace 5mls of sow pro and spread over 10mtrs if you think your watering can wont cover do 5m2 but divide products in half, then repeat till whole lawn is done
I’m covering the 5m2 but I’m using the full measurements instead of halving them, think that’s where I’m going wrong cause I’m going through quite a bit of the liquids, it hasn’t done any damage the lawn looks excellent 👌 I’ll be buying more from you
@@19davidwinter88 yeah always remember if your halving the meterage then you halve the products,
I can’t help thinking what the back lawn at this customers house looks like?
There isnt one its tiered it has that bank which you can maybe see but my friend lloyd does that and all the gardening bits
Isn't scarifying at this stage of the season uprooting all the young seedlings that were sown just a few weeks back? Or are they sufficiently rooted now to remain in the soil?
Well in there
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert Remarkable that they get a firm grip after such a short space of time!
@@Abbytaz1 that lawn a year old nearly and only had a sprinkling of new seed
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert So would you still verticut/scarify if the lawn had been well-seeded a few months back? Or wait until next year?
@@Abbytaz1 8 weeks
With the galactic green it say 200ml over 50m2, how much would you recommend for a front lawn of 34m2 and and a back lawn of 40m2
Well 160ml for 40m2 and 136ml for the 34m2
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert thanks! 👍🏻
Hi dan when the grass starts going a dark colour and not springing back up. If i was to not water it would it just go dormant or would it just dye? (Sports extreme)
It will perish so needs water if caught early willcome back in mins
Thanks out of curiosity why would it not go dormant?
@@plasterpro3937 fescue and bent would easily but ryegrass doesnt cope well with drought
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Better get my order in for h2go ASAP for the next wave
Just out of curiosity do you always go on with the rotary before cutting with the cylinder on all lawns?
Only if its longer than id like ie not cut over the weekend
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert can I mix a seaweed product into the GG or do it separate?
@@gardenjunkieltd7263 cant give advice on other products, steller is seaweed so not sure why you would use another
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert not got Stella yet only GG, should the lawn black in place with iron?
@@gardenjunkieltd7263 yeah a little bit
Do we wet the lawn before wetting agent? Or put the agent on dry before watering? Tnx Dan
Put on dry , did you see me wet the lawn first?
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert 😂😂😂
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert Thanks.
What colour nozzle do you use Daniel?
White flat fan, rare as hens teeth
Should you alternate the direction of your lawn stripes?
You can but on this lawn its difficult and long and thin
@@DanielHibbertLawnExpert Is it better for the grass or are you splitting hairs? Like in this example I think you mowed up what you previously mowed down?
@@ellismccoy just stops the grass growing along the floor and you can get the ribbing if you mow same way every time
