@@Premier_lawns_official it never stops mate! There’s always something to do! I’m on the same routine today, back at it for a full day tomorrow - no rest for the wicked mate 😄
Great video mate - I’m hoping to get my seed down today. The levelling has taken me a little more time. But not gonna rush. Looking forward to seeing your completed lawn mate.
Hi Graham! Thank you very much😄 well that’s it, I think there comes a point where you just think.. it’s time ! The way I see it is get it done now and then you’ll have a lush lawn by end of May and you can enjoy the whole summer with it 😄
@@JayRockGroundsMaintenance yeah, good point. The late summer/early autumn time means you don't get to enjoy it till the following year. Looking forward to seeing it come through. With the weather I reckon about a week 👍
@@Premier_lawns_official The seed I used for my recent trial was a shady mix of 7 varieties. It's A1 lawns shady mix, fairly fine leaved. Its mix slightly varies depending on what they have most available at the time. Mine is 20% perenial rye, 35% strong creeping red, 15% hard fescue, 15% chewings fescue, 10% smooth stalked meadow grass, 3% bent, 2% wood meadow grass.
Looking forward to seeing the end result. Sometimes you just have to do this. How often and for how long at a time should you put the sprinkler on after re seeding. Thanks.
Thank you Ray! I can’t wait for it to come through ! And keep you all updated 💪🏽💪🏽. Depends on the sprinkler and pressure I suppose mate but 15/20 minutes per area. You want it soaked but not flooding, there tends to be a fine line between them 😄. I water mine at least 3 times daily for the first 2 weeks and then slowly reduce from there depending on weather.
@@Ray_ray11 if it’s pulsating then possibly closer to 30 minutes but again it depends on the structure of your lawn, as long as it’s not flooding and the seeds are floating then just ensure it’s been watered through enough 15-30 minutes should be adequate 😄
Hello Jay 8 days now since seeding and its all approx 20mm high Looks nice and green Can't believe it really. When do I cut it and what should I use to cut. September seams a good month. Thanks Vic
It is a bit harder but defo still doable! You just need to be all over your watering. I completed 2 for clients yesterday and gave them the same advice, water water water 😄
Hi there ! Thank you very much for commenting! Absolutely 💪🏽 a hand fork every 4-6 inch spacings and a spring tine fork will definitely still do the job! Just a bit more elbow grease is required !😄
Hello mate, how do you figure out how many bags of top soil you need? Is there a specific meterage each bag will cover? Just pricing up a job here now.
Great video!! What depth would you set your scarifier to after you killed off grass and what setting did you set your fertiliser spreader(I have a simular one) to for sowing grass seed. Thanks in advance!!
Hi Robert! For grass seed I set them hand spreaders all the way open, it could do with an extra couple of settings for seed in my opinion. Scarifier isn’t set to a direct height, but if you have killed the lawn I would say go as hard as you need to get it all okay, don’t be afraid to take it right back to soil😄
Is there a reason why u aerate first and then scarify? don't the wholes get full up of the thatch which same mess ur in before you start the renovation as the holes full of thatch?
Hi there I explained this a few times in the video, at points where it would be more ideal to aerate. The reason this time I aerated to begin with was because the hire on the aerator had to be returned before I had time to scarify etc. yes it would be more ideal to aerate afterwards, in my case - this lawn is scarified regularly and had little to zero thatch in it at the point of killing off hence why you could see soil through the whole lawn 🙂. The way this process was done will not affect its progress at all 😄🌱
I don’t have a link sorry, but they are just a pair of Dunlop wellies, not too expensive at all, they serve me well for how often I need to wear them 😄
Oh massively ! If you got one brand new it would last you a lifetime, if you buy an older oner get one with a Kawasaki engine 👍🏼. Belts may need done now and again alongside with 12-18 month services, but they are great!
@@JayRockGroundsMaintenance Thanks for that I followed you and killed all my grass off my grass is sloping so not sure if it will be good. Been 2 days now since seeding watering 3 times a day. Do you think the seed will grow in time before cold comes. The 9th September Day the Queen Sadly Died Do you think I would cut it still if it gets to 3" Thanks Vic
@@vicmills7702 hi Vic! Absolutely I believe with temperatures at the moment you will see little germination heads within 7 days if it is a ryegrass blend. You’ll probably have a full lawn by the end of this month 😄
Hello Jay I do hope so used a 5kg bag of seed Dwarf Perennial = 50% Strong Creeping Red Fescue = 50% This is what it was. Watering 3 times a day But followed you every part. Even the lawn leveling etc. So grass is on show on a corner so everyone looks at it and have been watching me. Killed off all grass Removed plugs manually Verticutter 4hp engine Etc So I need it to look good. Thanks Vic
@@vicmills7702 that sounds excellent! I have no doubt in mind it will come out lovely. Remember though it may look thin in the beginning but it can take up to 6-8 weeks to fully thicken out, especially if the weather turns, I honestly think you will be fine😄 please tag me in an Instagram post when it all comes through ! Would love to see the outcome 😄🙌🏽🌱
A really interesting video. Some great tips fella 👍🏻
Great video Sam 👍 😁

Cracking video Sam. Really looked forward to this one and I'm ready as I'm sure you are to see the epic results.!
Thank you very much mate! Just can’t wait to start laying stripes !!
Great video mate. It’s taking shape now. Should start to look good in a few months.
Thank you very much Scott ! Appreciate it💪🏽. Yeah I’m sick of looking at soil now though, ready for the green to come through 😅🌱
Sam lookin good mate cannot wait to see the steady growth and transformation
Thank you Dave! Definitely going to film a couple of updates on this process !💪🏽😄
Brilliant video Sam, can't wait for the finished results 💯
Thank you Jordan! There will be updates soon as it starts to come through!😄🌱

No rush David! All about the prep that’s for sure mate !🌱 will be well worth it once it comes through 😄
Awesome video mate and cant wait to see the results!!! keep the contents coming.
Thanks Andrew💪🏽 definitely going to do some follow ups soon as it starts to come through 😄🌱

Thank you for commenting ! I really appreciate it 😄
Very nice Sam. The results will be outstanding with the pre done. Chat soon mate.
Thanks Keith! May rival yours one day lad !😉 looking forward to getting some mowing footage in!💪🏽

Great guide and video Sam, I've been waiting for this. Been threatening to do mine for some time. Maybe I'll finally do it after this!.

@@grahammacklam4736 yeah it’s definitely jumped up in temps the last few days, due some rain also so that should definitely help!😄

Thank you Dave !💪🏽
What setting did you use on the drop spreader for the seed please? This video was absolutely spot on!
Thank you Samuel! And thank you for commenting 🌱
I used the max setting 18, that got me about 3-4 passes of the lawn before the seed was used up😄🌱

Thanks for your reply. Would you say 3 times a day for 15 minutes. The sprinkler is a pulsating one (if you know what I mean). Thanks

Hello Jay
8 days now since seeding and its all approx 20mm high
Looks nice and green
Can't believe it really.
When do I cut it and what should I use to cut. September seams a good month.
Thanks

Sorry for the late response ! Hope your cut has went well! Sharp blade a 2-3 inches of growth and you will be good to go!😄
Spitting game!
I don’t know what that means pal!😂🤦🏻♂️😂
A quick way of saying you’re dishing out helpful information 😂👊🏻
@@exploreob oh! 😂 thank you very much mate 😄🌱
Great video mate. Would you recommend doing this in July?
It is a bit harder but defo still doable! You just need to be all over your watering.
I completed 2 for clients yesterday and gave them the same advice, water water water 😄
Such an informative video! Thank you :) i dont have a scarifier or aerator, so can i just manually rake it as much as I can and try to overseed?
Hi there ! Thank you very much for commenting! Absolutely 💪🏽 a hand fork every 4-6 inch spacings and a spring tine fork will definitely still do the job! Just a bit more elbow grease is required !😄
Hello mate, how do you figure out how many bags of top soil you need? Is there a specific meterage each bag will cover? Just pricing up a job here now.
Hi mate, your looking at roughly 1 bag doing 7m/2 at a light dressing dude

Are you using 50g per meter square
Yes for the seed 😄 as it is a new lawn, slightly less if you were just overseeding 🌱
