Thanks Robbie! I’ve just scarified and levelled using the drag mat. Anybody who doesn’t appreciate the simple genius of the drag mat has no soul! What a brilliant idea!
@@Premier_lawns_official did you find if you use the drag mat that it moves the seeds to the wrong places. great videos robbie, i've been buying humic acid using your discount code so hope you get something back from symbio
Awesome that customer feedback right there. Of course it's advertisement for you, but still, mostly around here people tend to complain and see the negative aspects of those jobs instead of highlighting what's awesome. Really love this. Probs to this client.
I love the videos ❣️ It’s very satisfying seeing the results. My wee bit of grass was quite patchy I followed your advice about scarifying manually. I also fed it . It is still bumpy but I’ll broach that in the autumn 🍂 It’s not perfect but it is looking tons better. A little knowledge does go a long way ☺️ Cheeers 🍻
Another cracking video for this time of year Robbie 👍 I did a bit of aerating, scarifying, fertiliser and the iron/seaweed mix on my own lawn last week. 2/3 of the lawn is now brown and dead looking 🥴
I hired one of these core aerators this year for the first time and was disappointed as it didn't take out the cores just punched holes in ,despite giving the lawn a good water for a few days beforehand. I am still hoping it will help the lawn .I always enjoy your videos though Robbie!
Thanks Robbie again, heading out tomorrow to aerate ( late in year but needs must) and using a Camon LA20 hired from McCarrolls Plant near Cloughmills. Three medium lawns to do.
You need to go back like about a month later and follow up to see how your work has helped. Explaining what scarification does is good but to actually see it in action. aeration is good for damp grounds, you need to aerate it, great. But then follow up and say last month we aerated, this month the ground is great. Last month we levelled it off with top soil, this month we’re back and we can see the level lawn, and it’s greener. Before and after (perhaps 1 month). Hope it helps love the vids.
Hi - thanks for this and your other videos. They’re becoming serious watching for me! My wife thinks it’s quite sweet ! I have an issue. We removed and stumped a small tree from the middle of our lawn. We filled the circular space left with soil (about 2.5m diameter) and turfed it. Subsequently it’s sunk leaving about a 5cm indent in the lawn. Very noticeable to the eye and mower. Do I have to lift the turf and refill with soil? Or can I top dress it with 5cm depth of soil, foot pressing etc and then reseed? This would be my preference but I’m not sure how the seeding will interact with the turf below. Many thanks for your insight.
Watched a number of your videos now & love getting the knowledge of a pro for free! ha. I aerated, scarified and overseeded my lawn 7 days ago, but I'm not seeing any germination of the seed. What sort of timeframe will I be looking at? Also, do the birds tend to like grass seed? I've had several pairs of nesting blackbirds be very busy on my lawn for the past week.
Hi Robbie a good instructive video again. Wee question - if you're only doing the hollow core aeration, do you always lift the cores or can you let them lie to decompose naturally?
Good video there Robbie! I see you like the Westland top soil there. Have you ever used their lawn and turf dressing? I find it a sandier mix with hardly any stones or twigs in. Only down side perhaps is the bags are smaller (25l) and it's slightly more expensive.
Good video. I have badly sunken lawn where lawn drainage was laid and has settled over the years. Is just throwing in top soil like this the best way, or can you suggest alternatives? Many thanks 👍
Have learnt a lot from your videos, I have a very big lawn full of moss, clay type soil soft in winter hard in summer, which time would be best to do work
Hi Robbie, I never see you use any type of moss killer before you scarfie , is it just OK to go ahead and regularly scarifie with having to use moss killer? That's again, James.
Am interested in overseeding my lawn over the next few weeks. I have laid down iron, going to aerate, then scarify and was then going to overseed. Was wondering on using screened compost instead of topsoil? Our ground would be quite clay based and a friend said it was better to use compost...
@@Premier_lawns_official thanks. The company came back and said that the compost wasn't going to be suitable, so went with the topsoil. Thanks for the reply and all the videos, they are making a massive difference for people who are trying to do it themselves
Great video Robbie. On previous videos you seem usually to scarify at 45 degrees on the second pass? On this one you did it at 90. Any reason or is my memory going? Ha ha!
Robbie,great videos. For aerating and scarifying should the lawn be relatively dry? It gives rain most of this week but I wanted to do the treatment like in the video above on Saturday 1st May.What do you think?
Thank you again for a helpful video. I got my lawn relaid - additional top soil and returfed last March. Do you think it is worth for me to aerate and scarify it now? Or is too early to do this for a new lawn?
@@Premier_lawns_official thank you. Need to fix it though as I have a mastiff and she has burned quite a few patches in the garden. Plus not sure if its because of the winters, but now the lawn has a few bumps which I need to fix ☹️
It really depends on the lawn and how bad it is beforehand What tools you are using We often scarify lawns that need cut but we are using professional tools. Top dressing is good but not always needed
@@Premier_lawns_official thank you for your reply. Our lawn is pretty good health wise apart from thatch. If we cut it low 25-30mm you can see light brown dead grass. We've alway been keeping it longer around 40-50 which has been nice and tidy looking and lush green using ferts cutting every 3 days. And scarifier is just a cheap Screwfix job got the wire rake attachment and the blades cartridge (think it's the wire ones to use?)
Robbie would you have an opinion on Argifab Tow behind Core Aerator for a ride-on mower? Considering buying one following you advice that aerating is your number 1 for improving your lawn. Also do you clean up the cores before Scarifying?
@@Premier_lawns_official It would mainly be ornamental Robbie. Kids aren't on it too much. Some shaded spots around the hedge on one side. Not a large lawn. Approximately 60m squared.
Can you talk grass types one day? I finally got some rain but thinking about it I live on the south facing side of a hill with sloped lawns mostly on clay soil. Only the lower part of the lawns get shade from the garden fence, trees and my top lawn shade from a tree and the house. Im getting increasing amounts of sun, less and less rain. I reordered all my grass seed having realised I might do better to order AM24 premiership pro grass which is supposed to be a bit more drouģht resistant with its deeper roots but wonder if you would mix types using say different grass for shady areas or flat areas? Or areas that get a bit more foot traffic? Just curious. Oh and Im following a lot of your advice except I cant yet aerate, ground has been far too hard and dusty for that so far but that looks set to finally change. Been like this since April for me.TY.
I scarified and fed my lawn last weekend (west of Scotland) as I usually do mid September, however we’ve had a couple of unexpected frosty mornings this week, will seed be likely to germinate now that’s it’s turned a bit colder? TIA 👍🏻
How can I get weeds out of my new lawn I done it early spring ,loads of weeds in it now,would it be wise to put lawn feed that says kills weeds or am I to late to do anything about it at this stage in Oct.Thanks good videos hard worker for sure.
Can you aerate a really hard clay soil lawn? I have some areas on my lawn where soil is really compact and dry to the point of cracking with the recent hot weather.
Premier Lawns thanks Robbie, I will be hiring a scarifier and aerator at some point in the near future to do my lawn 👍🏻 love the videos keep them coming, really useful
Hello I'm wondering if this lawn aeration device can be used to buy a used or new one, or maybe something manual, because the area is not large. I'm from Slovenia and you can't get that here. Thanks Lp Uros
Hi Robbie, Is it best to put soil down first then overseed. Always thought you overseed first then add the top dressing of top soil on top of the seed?
Ive watched enough of your videos to know hollow core is the ideal option for aeration but would you say solid tine aeration is better than no aeration at all or would you never recommend solid tines?
Hi Robbie great video as always, my scarrifier has two drums one with tines and one with blades, always been told to use the tine drum but guys like yourself use the blades, is it just down to how harsh you want to be on the lawn or do these drums have different functions? Cheers 👍
he has a scarifier, most likely a domestic one and some come with 2 interchangable sets of teeth, one is like fingers (tines) and the other is the rectangle piece of metal(blades). my electric bosch has the blades. i imagine the spring tines pull out moss to an extent but the blades allow the deeper cut into the soil.
Why would you chose top soil for leveling the lawn when sand is more suitable for this kind of a job? Golf greens are 80 to 100 % sand so it would work nicely...
@@Premier_lawns_official IMHO, ff leveling is the main purpose, I would go for sand since it cannot be compressed so easily. Also it brings more air, nutrients and water for the roots.

The fact that you watered it, might be the reason you didn't get a good core as the lawn may have been to soft
