    Doc goes over the different types of leveling mixes and when to use what. One key with lawn leveling is the depth of the rut or mix. The deeper the rut in the lawn the more organic matter needs to be present. Just using sand alone will not promote good repair or lawn health.

    I'm so glad you used supersod's leveling mix. I've been eyeing this for a while. And will use them for a leveling and seeding project. Just wasn't sure of the quality and size until your video.

    I got Humichar and I love it, I can't wait for the Humichar to get into the root zone. When I dig on a spot to get a soil sample I put some humichar in that area to help it get to the root zone sooner.

    Had that done last year. It was a ton of work to get that on the grass. This year, I hired a company to do the entire leveling project. I’m getting too old for this.

    Hey Doc, just found your channel. GREAT content and you explain what and why you are doing something very well. 👍👍
    I have two questions for you. We are in Anchorage Alaska for zone reference.
    1. I have a sink hole in the lawn that is 8-10’ in diameter and is at points 8” deep. The construction contractor obviously buried something there during construction. The area has been stable for more than 10 years so I looking for a permanent fix. Should I use the leveling mix to fill in and tamp down then dress with topsoil and reseed or do you have another suggestion?
    2. What seed mix would you recommend for our zone?

    What are some good ways to manage and treat mole crickets in Bermuda. I’m having a pretty large infestation happening in both my front and back yards

  • @bigtexbassin8500
    @bigtexbassin8500 3 года назад

    Doc I have some questions I would really appreciate your help. I think I have Bermuda I’m just not sure if it’s hybrid or common. It’s growing really thick and full in shaded areas. I thought Bermuda needed good amount of sun. That’s why I’m not 100% sure what I have. I water on Tuesdays and Thursdays with an irrigation system. I have been using the PGF Complete and I love it. But it’s not working in some dead spots in my lawn. I would really appreciate your help. I really enjoy watching your content. I have learned a lot from your advice and I have implemented a lot of your suggestions. They work!

    My yard is red clay and rock and has a grade to it. when I had a nursery bring in “top soil” 6 dump truck loads” it was smoothed out planted with fescue and rye grass. Over the years all the sand has wash down hill leaving me with a rocky red clay yard. Any ideas?

    A doc question for you I live in the northeast not really sure what kind of grass I have. My question for you because I do not have a lot of time is to have my local gravel pit mix up a yard of top soil and a yard of sand I hope I'm not stating the obvious but I just want to make sure that Will work for me.

  • @ericstinnett9182

  • @captainjackscarecrow4129
    @captainjackscarecrow4129 3 года назад

    Doc - long time watcher 1st time tried :) I did a top dressing on back yard to try if I could do it. I like how it turned out but the stuff delivered I did not notice all the super small pebbles until I started to level, which are not on the top! Will this be a problem for my Bermuda? If so what are my options?

    Hey Doc, the Mushroom Compost from Lowes looks pretty clean this year, I am going to try to level some spots with it. Should I worry about fungus in the product, or just try it and see what happens?

    • @whatthewhat11

      They use mushroom compost all the time for seeding cold season grass, should be fine for warm season too.

    Why use terminology people would not know? And for anyone else out there who is not an expert gardener I googled it (but only because the cc typed it) HumiChar is an organic, carbon-based soil amendment containing 50% high-quality humic acid and 50% granulated biochar.
