      Hey Shaun!
      Love your videos, I have a question please.. at what point in the process you've gone through here would you consider levelling off your garden that has existing grass (it has been established for 18 months now) if you had a rocky garden, as part of the upcoming autumn reno (not rock as in the stones but rocky as in uneven - some places up to 1.5 inches and others just a few mm where it has sunk) so would like to level off as part of this process with some premium screened topsoil.

    Great channel with useful information.
    One thing to mention though when spreading Gypsum as often as you do you should wear a mask. Gypsum is carcinogenic when it's inhaled. So much so that farmers have to carry out risk assessments for wind etc when. Spreading.
    It's also generally recommended to wet it down after to push it into the ground and keep it out of the air as much as possible (obviously your wetting at the end anyway just thought it worth a mention)

      Hi mate, loved the video well presented and edited. As a fellow tradesmen the information you give in over seeding is spot on. Like you said when you walk away it's down to the customer to maintain the watering for the seed to germinate and then once fully germinate regularly feeding through the growing period at least once/ twice a month then the main key to thicken up the lawn is regularly cutting minimum of once a week ideally but only taking off small amounts each time that will allow the grass blade still to photosynthesis and stimulating branching. If the lawn is left to grow to long then cut short straight away then your putting the grass into an energy negative (recovery mode). People who want a nice lawn and think by over seeding or laying new turf that's what they will get remember that's just part one of the step, its the regularly maintenance afterwards then you will start seeing the results. The more you can put into it the more you will get out of it as they say, wise words. Looking forward to seeing your next video. Keep up the good work👍

    Hey, found your channel today and have been enjoying your content and learned a fair bit too already.
    I've got a. area of "lawn" (yeah right, I wish) which is in the shade for most of the day, getting only a few hours of direct sun in the evenings in the summertime. Maybe 5 hours at most. Consequently, I've never had any success getting lawn there. It is now a small but desolate wasteland of failure..😢
    I had the bright idea this year (after battling it for about 15 years or so) to widen the pathway next to it and widen out the flower bed opposite and bring them almost together, thus no longer having to look at that barren monstrosity. I've got plants which seem to grow ok in that shady flowerbed so I could spread them out, split up some big Iris plants etc to take up the space.
    So my question, have I simply just not been trying the right things and in reality if it is done right, there would be no reason to not be able to grow nice grass there? Or is my plan to re landscape the better option in this situation? Thanks in advance

    • @LawnRight
      @LawnRight  4 месяца назад +1

      Hi some grasses are designed for shady areas.. You can go online and search for shaded grass seed.. May have tall fescue in etc.. But even so grass needs a minimum of 3 hours a day of direct sunlight to be at full health so usually shady areas will still thin to varying degrees.. By all means give some a go and see if you can improve lighting

    Great video. I wonder what you think about the pregerminating of grass seeds in a bucket, that I've seen a few videos for, to save having to water the whole lawn. Although it does mean it can be a bit more difficult to sow the seeds if they're not dried out first...

    Great one again Shaun. I’ve got a very uneven lawn due to it being on a slope. I’ve done all the steps a number of weeks ago and had some decent germination on a good portion. However some areas haven’t germinated at all or have only just started, so I’ve got some longer grass now and some still seed/just started to shoot. Should I cut it now and just cut my losses on the bare patches and reseed?

    Most clay soils are not sodic, so gypsum will not improve their structure or drainage. Gypsum is also not effective at changing soil pH
    When gypsum is appropriate, it is usually broadcast on the soil surface at rates of 2.5-10 t/ha, with higher rates used for heavy clay soils. Incorporation into the top 10 cm is recommended. Application should be done well in advance of the growing season to allow the gypsum time to dissolve and take effect
    In summary, gypsum can be a useful amendment for sodic clay soils, but it is not a universal solution for all clay soils. Testing the soil to determine its properties is advisable before applying gypsum

    I've watched this along with another video of yours from 2 years back renovating a lawn. I'm in the process of doing this, and I'm getting to the point of overseeing and top dressing. I'm just wondering how long I have to leave it when done. I've got two crazy, active dogs that would have no respect for the top dressing. 😀

    • @LawnRight
      @LawnRight  Месяц назад

      Eeek .. Honestly it'll take between 3 days and 2 weeks till most new grasses are poking through assuming multiple daily waterings but they'll be so fragile at this stage and really you'll need to try and avoid it as much as possible for a good month other than mowing.. And all during this time continuing with multiple daily waterings.. Then after that ideally minimising use as it'll take another few weeks more to start establishing properly. I appreciate this isn't what you want to hear but it's what's best for the lawn.. Unless you can wait till autumn you might want to get some temporary fencing

    • @ohmegroin
      @ohmegroin Месяц назад
