In this video, we will show you 3 simple steps to achieving a golf course lawn.
Step 1: Mow Low
The first thing you’ll notice with golf course grass is that it’s mowed low and if you want a similar ascetic you will have to do the same. Contrary to popular belief, you don't necessarily need a reel mower; a regular rotary mower can do the job just fine. However, there's a specific technique involved. We'll discuss how to adjust the height of your rotary mower gradually over several mowing sessions to avoid damaging your grass while still achieving that golf course aesthetic.
Step 2: Level your Lawn
Ensuring your lawn is level is crucial for achieving a golf course appearance. Golf courses stand out for their smooth, flat surfaces, and you can replicate this by using simple tools like sand, soil, a rake, and a broom. Today we’ll demonstrate a straightforward method to level your lawn effectively along with tips on how to source the best dirt , soil and sand for lawn leveling.
Step 3: Fertilize Often
To attain a golf course-quality lawn, consistent fertilization is key. Instead of applying fertilizer monthly, opt for smaller, more frequent doses to maintain a deep green and uniform color. Today we will use carbon-based organic based fertilizer, the same type utilized by professional golf courses, to help achieve lush, deep green grass.
Apart from the three fundamental steps we've covered, we're thrilled to welcome a guest who will share two additional tips for achieving a golf course lawn appearance.

I want to give a special thanks to Budget Lawns for jumping in and giving a few extra tips!
Be sure to check out his channel here: www.youtube.com/@BudgetLawns
Why is your name called Princesscutlawncare 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@chriscameron589 lol loooong story but it involves my wife and daughter when we first started making videos 😂
@@PrincessCutLawnCare oooo this calls for a video explanation lol
This is very cool, my back yard has pretty big roots popping up can I use this to level the yard? Oh you just said its possible but difficult guess I should look into it.
@@TrggrWarning hi, no matter how much you level around those roots they will naturally make there way back to the surface as the tree is always actively looking for water, your best best is to much around them or just leave them be
Hey, I just wanted to tell you that I took your advice about reseeding a lawn. I followed all of your advice step by step, and now my lawn is thriving! Half of it was dirt before. It's awesome to watch your videos and you talk to us like a buddy.
happy to hear that my friend! and thanks for tunin in!
George I just want to say that when I first came upon one of your videos years ago I was like “oh boy , another guy trying to make lawn videos “. But your vids are spot on . I’ve been making my own improvements ( and mistakes ) on my own lawn through the years and find your vids to be accurate and informative . Very relatable. Keep up the good work and thanks for keeping it simple and speaking as clearly as you do .
Appreciate that brother!
It’s been a fun ride these past couple years and we are thankful you've joined us!
Good luck in the lawn this spring my friend 😊
To anyone wanting to start their own grass RUclips channel don’t pay attention to idiotic “another guy trying to make lawn videos” comments like this because they can be very discouraging.
@@americantroy77 The purpose of my comment was to compliment George on his video. Here you go calling people idiot because it wasn't worded the way you like to read it. Thank you for exposing yourself as one of those people who are always looking for an argument. Perhaps I could have worded it better but I think most people will see my intentions were complimentary.
Finally someone suggests landscaping instead of just a big patch of grass!! Thank you!!
that was a great tip
honestly refreshing to hear a down to earth approach to maintaining a great lawn!!
It’s easy actually… see what I did there 😜
Absolutely
Your neighbours are soo lucky and blessed! I wish I had you as my neighbour..
You are so kind
For flowers, start with just what you think is pretty and looks nice with the house. The wife will be a huge help with this. Consider bulbs also for when fall approaches.
thanks Ian! gonna have to take the wife to home depot soon 😂
George, thanks for all the great tips. Since following your advice I have gone from a muddy weed filled backyard to a very green full lawn. I really appreciate the easy to follow instructions and the wallet friendly advice.
Great to hear Dave! Happy for you and your lawn 😊
Thank you George!!! This is a very accessible method to spot level. Your channel is amazing
Appreciate that Robert!
George great how to video.
You point out all the criteria needed to get that golf course lawn!
Appreciate that Troy!
That is a sweet lookin yard man. I’ve been cutting 20+ years and haven’t seen a yard like that
Appreciate that dude!
😂 Perennials, shrubs, and evergreens all the way. They're the gifts that keep on giving every spring. Love how you tied into the nursery. Good stuff. Really appreciate ya having me on board for this one. Now you got me thinking about a soil/sand mix instead of just all sand. Might do some test spots with that this season. Thanks again, dude. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for calling out my boring patch of grass Travis 😂 😂 😂
Just kidding 😂 , appreciate the tips bro! You the man!
Two of my favorite guru’s! Thx 🤛
THANKS FOR THE TIPS 😁
The lawn is looking great! Impressive rotary results. Great to see Travis and another top notch video!
Thanks bro! lovin the rotary mower as of late 😀
Another great video George! I appreciate the fact you share your tips for real homeowners who aren't professionals. You don't break our banks on the products you suggest. I met you a few months back at of all places, an estate sale, it was good talking with you about that and lawns. Thank you
Appreciate that Matthew! Was nice meeting you at that estate sale! How your spring coming along? My wife and I have already started hitting garage sales this season 😊 maybe we’ll run into you again while treasure hunting!
@PrincessCutLawnCare Spring has been good to the lawn so far, nice green grass, just a few easily picked dandelions, and yes the wife and I too are beginning to venture back out for treasures as well. Hope to see you out there.
That supplier video you made was awesome. Great info as always
This guy is awesome! Don't know why I love his videos? I shouldn't, he's a Cubs fan, from Chicago and not Italian. LOL, keep up the good work GEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ayoooo! wheres my favorite Guido been at?!?!?!?
Yo Bronxboy here. Arthur Ave. Doesn't get any better than that lol
You're very lucky to have such a great supplier close by. This is another great video. You rock man. Thank for all your help.
appreciate that sir!
Been watching u for years now ..love the content brother keep it coming
appreciate the long time support John! You the man!
love your channel ever since i found it last year and look forward to every upload, thank you George you are awesome and very appreciated! I have learned so much.
Thanks so much Brian and I appreciate you taking the time to stop by 😃
Nice video George. One suggestion for anyone wanting to level your lawn and looking for low spots. I have found the best way to do this if you have a smaller lawn is to use a lawn paint on it then mow your lawn on the mowers lowest setting. When done all the high spots will be cut off and won't see the paint. All the low spots will still show and that is where to dump the sand mix and spread out. You don't have to cover the whole lawn, only the low spots. 😁
thanks for sharing that Keith!
So how do you exactly go about doing that? you paint the whole lawn? or just certain areas?
What an awesome lawn tip! 🤯 I use Liquid Harvest blue for my tank sprayer. Never even considered this approach. Cheers to you both from the Pacific Northwest 🍺🍺🍻🇨🇦
@@PrincessCutLawnCarepaint the whole lawn
@@djbone604thanks DJ
New subscriber here! Thank you for the detailed lawn care videos. My problem is my neighbors; they do not take care of their lawn and I am constantly fighting the weeds that come from their yards (and others). I can't ask anyone to take care of their lawn, but why buy a nice home and ignore the one thing people see when driving by. All people see with my neighbors are just weeds, and lots of them.
I have the same issue
Thanks for the sub! And we know how you feel! I think we all face the same problem 😂
On the plus side, they will make your lawn look fantastic regardless of any minor issues you encounter
My neighbors down the road have amazing lawn. The next door is just weeds. They literally cut a 1-2in wide trench on the boundary to split the lawn from the weeds. Seems to work very well
I MISS WATCHING YOU, I FORGOT HOW SIMPLE YOU MAKE IT😊
I MISS YOU TOO
@@PrincessCutLawnCare THANKS SOLDIER
Been following your tips for awhile, love the channel. Keep up the good work. Much love from Canada 🇨🇦
appreciate that my neighbor to the north!
We live in an HOA and our lawn is done for us. One thing we did is told the landscapers to quit riding our lawn and to push it. We also thatch twice a year (or more). We also fertilize a couple of times. We replaced the lawn around our home after we moved in. We wanted Zoysia but had to do Bermuda. It had been dug up about three times between utilities and sprinklers. Best yard in the neighborhood I must say. We tip the landscapers every now and then.
Using a push mower is so much nicer of a cut than a riding mower
I laughed way to hard at the suspicious daschund
😂
I moved into a house with a giant lawn and am systematically shrinking the lawn space by adding beds and native plants from our area, which will save me on watering and time so I can focus on getting what turf I have left to look as great as I can. Putting in a good mix of native perennials as a base that will flower different times of the year and leaving space for fun annuals we can swap out and play with every year to try new things. I'm gonna say that it's as fun or more fun of a project to learn about than just turf lawn 😎 (don't @ me bro).
I believe it, we’re already having a blast learning about all the flowers! Can’t wait to start planting 😊
George/Travis, this collab was 🔥
I'm actually planning a major leveling project on my lawn this summer, so this video was perfectly timed. Thanks for the reminder on what to look out for when ordering materials and for showing that golf course results are possible with a rotary mower
Appreciate that dude! I see you have a channel, just subbed! Look forward to checking it out 😃
@@PrincessCutLawnCare I do! Thanks!
Great video and advice George, your lawn is looking fantastic 🤜💥🤛
thanks bro! appreciate you stopping by!
You look so much better and healthier. Good job with weight management. Keep up the fight, you're doing awsome!
Thanks for sharing, George! Great video as always.
Appreciate that bud!
Great video! As far as what plants to add to your place. This is somethings I picked up and started to incorporate into clients landscape beds and gardens. After installing a few beds years ago I learned a lot about sizes, different characteristics ,care and maintenance and so on. After I started understanding what could work and things went well. I learned that for the most part people want to have the beauty of a castle garden but do not have the time to care for it . Everbody's busy working . And a big common mistake people make is they over stuff their landscape beds not realizing how big the plant will be or grow. So many trees and bushes planted to close to the house. Years later these plants have taken over and in some cases hid the house. Also people given the choice would love to have some color signs of life in their landscape beds all year long. you can plant some very nice grasses and bushes that have great fall foliage and some plants that will show thier beauty while others may be dormant. Another thing was to purchase low maintenance plants as much as possible. We started planting lots of dwarf maiden grass and other dwarf hybrids which would maintain a small height and be more manageable. The last thing I did as a Landscape professional was to come up with themes. Themes that will maybe compliment the architecture or style of house and buildings. Many families like to put certain things they like in their yard for display and you can build a theme off that. For example we put in a yard with fence and landscape beds for an retired oil field driller. His custum pipe gates had drill bits on the posts and put a miniature pump jack in his yard along with other oilfield related items which still gets compliments.
Wow thanks so much for the great tips!
We will definitely use your tip of using a mix of dormant and active plants so we can try to retain color all season long
Keep up the great work George. I'm pretty certain you live in the town I grew up in so my Dad (who still lives there) enjoys your content too.
appreciate that cappy! tell your pops i appreciate it too!
Excellent video, thanks for the tip regarding mixing sand and potting mix … 👌👌.
No problem Dennis, thanks for watching!
Potting mix won’t level your lawn and you shouldn’t put it down. Overly expensive and will just break down and you’ll be doing the same thing in a year. Just use a sand and top soil mix, far better results than top soil that includes fertilizers and junk.
Because of your channel I have a beautiful lawn still working on it. But love your advice. Maybe I’ll run into you one day I’m from Chicago myself.
great to hear neighbor! might run into you at home depot one day!
Nice editing in this video! Heading to the store tonight to get some leveling material! For plants in the midwest, I like as low maintenance as possible, so I've got small boxwoods for shrubs in the back, everbloom roses for a protective hedge with hosta, day lilies and tulips mixed up front. My yard has varying blooms pretty much straight from April to October with pretty much no maintenance except trimming back dead blooms and leaves in the fall.
Great recommendations Mark! Thanks for letting us know about Midwest specific plants 😃
THE DOG LOOKS SUSPECT 😂 🐕
😂 💯
@@PrincessCutLawnCare 😁
Thank you!
I'd recommend spreading geranium for a nice ground cover. It'd eventually be a sea of green. The azaleas would look great in your front bed, too. A few plants of Creeping Thyme beside the walkway to your front step would be great too.
No problem!
Jotting down all your recommendations now! Thanks for sharing them with us!
Great video. You answered all my questions, thanks !
Appreciate that! Good luck with your project 👍
I really enjoy your channel and learn not just lawn care but I watch the editing tricks you do. Fantastic editing!
appreciate that philip! are you considering starting a channel?
@@PrincessCutLawnCare I love to edit and recognize other great editors. My channel is small but it’s at Off-Gridiot (camping/stealth camping).
@@phillipg7315 👌👍⛺️
@@phillipg7315 awesome dude! just subscribbed, i love stealth camping videos, i watch a lot of steve wallace so i look forward to checking out your vids!
@@PrincessCutLawnCareAwesome! Steve’s visited my channel before. I try to edit a little differently than the other stealth channels - that’s what made your channel stand out to me too.👍
My favorite is those roses. They bloom ALL summer and fall and nowadays they come in every size you need. Miniature, small shrub to big shrubs. Highly recommend the bloomables and the knockout, but whatever fits your needs
Also, for annuals in pots, I highly recommend proven winners flowers. They really are great.
Also, Dahlias are GREAT flowers for landscaping, as there are so many types and colors. You can even dig the tubers up and store them if you live in a colder zone (less than 8b)
Hope that helps!
great advice my friend! jotting down your recommendations now!
THANKS SOLDIER, NICE AND SIMPLE 😊
Hastas, day lillies and Sedum are my favorite to add to the appeal of my landscaping. They are by far the most resilient plants to accent your yard. In fact, they are almost impossible to kill! and when they out grow the area they are in, you can simply split them and rehome the other portion. FREE PLANTS!!! Flowers are nice, but greenery goes a long way.
excellent recommendations! thanks so much! jotting them down now 😀
as always
Great video, George
PS
you two are my two favorite lawn care guys 👍🏻👊🏻❤
Appreciate that Dave! You the man!
Hoasta, rose bush, daffodils, and tulips are great perennials for the garden.
thanks for the recommendations!
Wow. I don’t have grass but now I want it. Lol
haha i see a big patch of green grass in your near future ☺
Great video as always, thanks. Very accessible advice.
Appreciate that Mark!
I've been wondering how level my lawn - thank you for the advice! I'm in West Michigan and I've got just under 15,000 sf of lawn, so I think leveling will be done in stages across a couple years!
One question that I hope you can address in an upcoming video: Eliminating chickweed, nutsedge, & spurge. These are some of the worst things to rid my lawn of!
take your time chad, slow n steady wins the race! sounds like you have quite the project ahead of you haha
btw we did a video about a herbicide called sublime that does an excellent job controlling chickweed and spurge, you should check it out here: ruclips.net/video/bcCpBVKpcSk/видео.html
we will keep the nutsedge in mind for future videos, thanks for the content ideas!
Thank you George for a great video! For landscaping I like to use encore azaleas, lavender and agapanthus. These are perennials and the encores and lavender provide multi season bloom. I also add sunshine ligustrum and Japanese pine to always have some color and variety.
no problem sir! and thanks for your recommendations 😀
G,
Plants, Shrubs, different heights, grouped colors you enjoy, contrast, seasonal coverage, dimensional, sun oriented, deciduous, non-deciduous, clean-up, leaves or blossoms…research yards in your location, match what you like, pre plan your drip irrigation. Immediate design for now…3 years, 6 years…comes with pruning, hardy support (local bug durable), soil prep vs your soil requirements.
thanks for the tips! will research whats best for northern IL tonight, appreciate it!
AWESOME VID George! Super helpful! Love that Milwaukee btw
appreciate that bro! you know that milwaukee was all you! haha
Perennials are the easiest and the best for season after season. Azaleas you mentioned are a good colorful choice and need pruning once a year. They mainly come in 5 color varieties and you can prune them to the height you require.
Thanks for the tips! We will look into some perennials 😊
Great video; enjoyed how you explained the process with great visuals. kudos!
thanks my friend! cheers!
This is a great channel. Too bad so many of these techniques don't work for my 4.5 inch high St. Augustine. I need to find a way to level my yard.
Thanks! If I’m not mistaken the lawn care nut made a video on how to level st Augustine
Thanks for your very informative videos, George!
I live in the Chicago area (Barrington) and after your video at Tim Wallace Landscaping, I got motivated to finally improve the poor soil quality that I've been battling for 20 years. Come to find that he really is a unique landscape supplier, I couldn't find anyone nearby that did the same type of blending / drying / screening that Tim does. Luckily he offers delivery (I'm about 40 miles away) and I'm sure glad I did this. I purchase 5 cu yds of the Lawn Repair Mix with the Purple Cow Compost plus over seeding with 50/50 Hattrick and Fireball from Twincity Seed. Also bought a Razenrakel leveling rake. Only two weeks later, my lawn is looking absolutely amazing!
Still have a way to go, I can't wait to see what the lawn looks like after the grass really gets established.
I can't thank you enough for the tips and motivation!
hey neighbor, great to hear! all those items combined are going to set your lawn on 🔥once established! keep us updated on your progress!
Thanks for the video your the best !!
Appreciate it Tom!
Color makes the yard pop!!! Im a lawn nut and reel mow but it means nothing without all the color making the grass look even better. I also wish i had a supplier like that for my leveling needs.
sup Tim! long time no see!
whats your flowers of choice?
@@PrincessCutLawnCare Dhalias because of Connor Ward and his huge collection of them. They don't last as long in Texas but still alot of color for a short while. Hydrangeas are also my fav.
Great vid. Watching from the UK.
Thanks Christopher!
I remember commenting about the Purple Cow brand compost in your topsoil supplier video last year. Since that video I have learned Purple Cow compost is now made right here in Madison and I can get it for $50/cu yd. They also sell it by the 5gal bucket if you bring your own buckets, $10 for 6 buckets. Sure beats the $18/cu ft bag they sell it for at local garden stores .
i remember you mentioning that last year! thanks for stopping by again! good to see ya!
He’s back 👏👏👏
Love it! THANK YOU
Great video this is what I need to do because I have some hot spots I think it's because there not a lot of dirt in the grass
Thanks!
Love the content brotha!
Appreciate that kento! Good morning btw!
Yes! Plant gardens! (Plus it's WAY less Maintenance)
duly noted!
@@PrincessCutLawnCare And I wish I could hire you. I'm in your area and everyone I speak with looks at me funny re leveling the lawn and 'sand'. Seriously!!! And I can't do it myself. Tho I have some lumps/bumps - probably from raccoons/grubs. Tempted to scoot around with a mallet to lower them.
I wish I'd been around to grab one of those used reel mowers. I can easily mow my Zoysia at 1 inch with my reel mower, but I'm required to keep a drainage ditch and mowing low with a rotary mower leaves high spots.
Great collaboration, just discovered budget lawns and I really dig both channels. I'm just starting my lawn journey so would it be best to do weed control now and leveling/overseeding in spring? My lawn is pretty jacked up but I'm only aiming for presentable. Also if I buy the bagged leveling material is it 50 bags each for sand soil or 50 total? I basically have 3 1000 ft lawns (lawn-house-lawn-garage-lawn) but I don't care about the one behind the garage.
thanks! and thats 50 total, a good ratio is 35 bags of sand and 15 potting mix
Growing grapes is fun dude. You should look into it. Lots of diy stuff you can do with them.
Oh that’s an interesting suggestion! We’ll look into thanks! We love going Concord grape pickin in MI so might be a cool idea!
Great video! Love your tips 😎 Bro! Please keep up the great work!!!
appreciate that bro!
I like this guy. Good presentation.
Appreciate that sir!
Thanks again brother
thank you Allen!
perennial’s are my choice, annuals are like disposable plants or flowers. I choose the knock out kind of roses 🌹 they are bulletproof. Roses petals have to be vacuumed off the soil but, coral, sunny, pink, white double or just knock out roses are low maintenance and will bloom every year no matter how hard the winter or summers are. Based on my personal humble experience and opinion
That dachshund pic was awesome 😎
😂
He’s back baby!
"Is that they're flat and smooth" proceeds to insert picture of a very not flat lawn lol
😂
Excellent video…very well edited.
hey appreciate that Tim!
I really like the small rotary lawn mower. Its just a nicer cut imho. The nicest yards i see most are all walked cut not with a Ferris or pros doing the work.
we agree!
Good advice, thank you. 🇨🇦💝🇺🇸🙏
Great video's, Im having trouble finding a reliable soil p h meter. Can you recommend a reasonably cheap meter
Thanks! None of the soil meters are good, you will have to buy soil test strips off amazon and test it yourself (it’s easy)
@@PrincessCutLawnCare any specific one you can recommend
Dude this is a great video!
Hey thanks my friend!
Nice looking lawn. Me, personally, I like to keep my grass at about 4 inches…Inset my John Deere zero turn to the max cutting height (except first cut in spring).
We like long grass too 👍
George, what do I do about dog pee stains that kill my grass? ( I bought the Sublime last year after watching your video about it and it is working great. Starting out slow with the dosage but I will increase it as needed). Thanks
i recommend you check out this video by my friend jesse, hes goes into detail on how to fix them: ruclips.net/video/7CXuaRlcygQ/видео.html

Appreciate that Ben!
@@PrincessCutLawnCare If you ever need a project lawn...let me know!
Thanks for the advice. Is there anyone in this country that still has the time to mow their yard three times a week? Most people are working their asses off just to afford groceries.
mowing is the one thing that helps us "escape" from the reality of not being able to afford groceries
“If grass doesn’t get sun, it’s going to die”, ;Bermuda:::, hold my beer 🤣 Thanks for the video George!
😂no problem dude, thanks for tunin in!
George, did you get rid of ur reel mowers? In particular Allett mowers?? Say it aint so my brother… Say it aint so!!
They are all gone 😭
George may I ask why you got rid of allett,were you unhappy with it?
I was looking at getting an allett eventually once I get my lawn in better shape,you got rid of your allett,do you not recommend them?
GREAT Info Dude.........................How is that Milwaukee mower working out for ya ?
Thanks! It’s my favorite mower of all time 👍
And I don’t just say that about any ol thing
Great info George👍
why neighbor! appreciate that! hows your spring going??
@@PrincessCutLawnCare spring is going well and I'm enjoying every minute of it.
Wow thanks!
No problem!
MUST: pay attention to sun or shade spots in your beds to determine what to plant in each area. It will determine whether the plant will thrive or die. I prefer majority of the plants to be perennials. I then use annuals here and there throughout the beds. Also consider soil, plant type, etc. There are plenty of RUclips videos on how to build a flower bed
excellent tips my friend! thanks for sharing! i will look up a few tutorials 😃
I have about 1.5 acres of lawn. I was thinking of leveling just the area around my house. Do you think that would look ok
I think that would look great! Start with the front and then go from there 👍
Hey Princess Cut Lawn Care, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made.
I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and repurpose your long videos into highly engaging shorts? I can also make high CTR thumbnails for your channel
hey, i appreciate your offer but we are not fans of shorts, although i do recognize we are probably missing out on a ton of exposure. also when it comes to thumbnails we already have a pretty dialed in process. but i do wish you success in your endeavours!
Hi George I moved to South Carolina and the grass it totally different when living in New Jersey. Here in the Carolina our grass is centipede grass . Is there and differents in grasses. Is power raking is go to do on the lawn, i was told yes and no what do you think and can i w use the same method you use for your lawn. Thanks in advance.
centipede grass requires more specialized care than most grasses, i would recommend you research centipede grass on the lawn forum for best practices
Shady garden plants: Bleeding HEart, Astilbe, Hosta, Ferns. Sunny areas, Liatris, Peony, sedum. All very hearty plants and will do well year after year with little maintenance.
thanks so much for the recommendations! researching them now:)
Get a yard force electric reel if you want, cheap, and does the job if you want a different kind of cut. Been using my sunjoe electric reel and just upgraded to a gas powered one.
Earthworks is the fertilizer I use. I purchase from Landscape Supply in northern Virginia. 16-0-5 granular, and I use Earthworks Liquid products as well.
awesome! do you use it in a residential setting or commercial ?
George, I’m near Peoria Illinois and I’m planning on doing a Reno this fall. I’m torn between kbg/rye mix and straight rye. You being in the same kind of climate and having had both grass types at some point. Which would you do? I plan on putting a plug n go rain bird system soon so I’ll have a diy irrigation system. I want to do perennial rye but wanted to know your opinion.
Hey! To be honest I would go 100% kbg.
Our ryegrass is very sensitive to heat and you being down in Peoria, it will be even more sensitive since you guys are close to the transition zone. The KBG will do much better down there 👍
If you do end up using rye just be sure to have the expectation that some might die off in the summer (it happens too us too)
George, I’m trying to remember, did you reseed with all perennial rye? Or was it a mix with KBB as well?
Hi Tom, it is a mix of midnight kbg and fireball rye
Top dressing!
Yes sir!
Is this technique only for spot leveling here and there or is it useful for larger areas? I have many bumpy areas of the lawn that would benefit from this, but also one area several feet wide that's lower than the surrounding lawn. I was debating getting a cubic yard or so of top soil and filling it in.
It’s useful for larger areas as well but you may find it easier to use a leveling rake in addition to the landscape rake and broom
Hello what seed should I throw down I live in Massachusetts I’m going to follow your steps thanks 🙏
what are you looking for in seed? color, drought tolerence, height? etc etc
@@PrincessCutLawnCare just a descent looking lawn the soil here where I stay is actually very sandy I live near the ocean ty
@@PrincessCutLawnCare color would be cool
You also need to make sure that your lawn is super level to do this. Otherwise you will scalp the lawn and maybe even cut into the dirt. My lawn use to have an inground pool, so the soil is always settling. At time is like walking on the moon no matter how much I try to level.
Absolutely, might be advantageous for you to add sand to the pool area, it will help with the settling
