Yo''' Bada$$!
😆😆😆 My boy said mason sand works great in his 100lb spreader.
Damn you, now I need to ask my wife for forgiveness for buying this in the near future! 😂😂😂
😂😂😂 you better sweeten her up at dinner tonight it is Friday! Take a shot of don Julio 1942 for me 😉😂😊🤙🏾🔥🙏🏾 it’s a sexy time 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Just cut my lawn at .5” yesterday. Now I can tell it still needs more leveling 😂
Aye that’s the best way to find out!!! 😂😂😂
@@YardBrah extra bumpy in some areas. I’m spot level asap 😂
Leveled my Midwest clay bluegrass lawn with a LOT of sand last year and when I went to draw my samples for my soil test this year I had a beautiful inch of sandy soil on top and my over seeded grass looks beautiful (not to mention how much more level my lawn is). Some people don’t understand there are more ingredients than clay and sand I guess when you make concrete 🤣
Playsand works just needs to be dried out in the driveway first. Not sure if yours was dry. Great vid
Looking good!
Side note - if you or anybody else is looking for a greensmower let me know. I am selling my mowers to install irrigation this year. Yard is going to be destroyed…
Thanks my dude! Email me pics and price of what you got brotha! Yardbrah@gmail.com
😂 you're so infectious I love it. Gotta give it to ya you got some dance moves. Love your channel 👍
My grass care schedule: Take care of lawn, watch yardbrah, have dinner, repeat next day
All those rotary mowers will love that level yard !!
All the mowers are gonna love some level action! 😊🤙🏾🔥🙏🏾
You can spread sand in a broadcast spreader if its completely dry and you dont overload it.
Yeah but not 100lbs at a time! 😂😊🤙🏾🔥🙏🏾
Totally agree sand needs to be dry! Did a test spreading Arden 15 seed with play sand on a Scott’s spreader, and guess what. Nothing was coming out. I had to keep shaken the spreader in order to see some results! Ended up just hand spreading most of it got ok results tho!
Huffin and puffin by the end of this video 😂😂
OUTTA SHAPE & STILL GETTING OVER A COLD 😂😂😂 I’m gonna need to get an assistant I’m getting old 😂😂😂😊🙏🏾🤙🏾🔥
I mentioned it in another video but you can also throw sand in your peat moss spreader and spread it that way. Especially if it's wet at all. It probably puts it down a little thicker than the salt spreader though.
Yeah I remember you saying that! I dialed down the spread of the sand it’s so much easier and dialed down you barley even have to level it! 😊🤙🏾🔥🙏🏾
@YardBrah that's awesome man. My shit was so unlevel I had to lay her on thiccccc
@@dlandes14Ah thicccc 😂
yaaaaa... yesterday I used bags of play sand from Home Depot.. majority of them were wet and didn't work with my Scotts drop spreader :/ So I switched to Landzie compost spreader. one of the bahs were super dry inside and sand went right through the compost spreader when I dumped dry one into it 😂
I have mason sand delivered. i bet they are wet too, and Im losing time too..!
I didn't know about the silica sand!!! wow
😂 Yes a lot of folks here are telling me to use the peat moss spreader for sand and in my head I'm like... Um it's just gonna pour out 😂 but if it's wet yes def peat moss spreader I can see working 😊🤙🏾
The first play sand bag seemed humid…. Any little humidity in the sand and it won’t budge…. I dried my sand with a blow torch and it became like the silica…
Oh nice good advice thank you brotha! 😊🤙🏾🔥🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I wish you would have told me about that before I level my front yard 😂😂😂my everything was hurting 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂 I wish I had the swardman brush my everything hurts cause of the brushing of the sand 😂😂😂😩🔥🙏🏾🤙🏾😊
@@YardBrah 🤣🤣🤣
Brah! 👌 Now I need to go and buy one of those spreaders. 😂 Great idea!
It’s def more convenient I just did another 300lbs on a lower setting! It’s amazing!!!! 😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🔥
It's going to be great for spreading!! Way easier than wheelbarrow and tossing it with a shovel. I can see you topdressing a ton! Your yard will be smooth thanks to that baby blue 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah brotha!!! I’ll be be convenient to sand as needed like you said!!!! Gonna be fun!!! 😊🤙🏾🔥🙏🏾
@@YardBrah 👍🏻🔥
@@YardBrah
I just feel you did it in the worst possible time! wait till a nice sunny dry day with dry material
Oh yeah… havnt done a sand level in the rain since this always dry 😅😊🤙🏾
Brah!
That was awesome! Looks like I have to buy one now……..
You got a link?
Anyway just what I needed on this crappy rainy day
Yes adjusted the flow and it’s flawless! Can’t wait for the actual yards of sand to show up! 😊🔥🙏🏾🤙🏾
Sitting on the ER watching four vid brah! I'm fine, broke a blood vessel in my arm.
How many pounds did you throw down?
Ohh you said 300 lbs.
oh no hope it wasn't too bad my guy! Get well soon! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
When I buy sand by the yard it eventually will always be kinda wet/moist sitting in my driveway or under a tarp. I’d have to wait for a real sunny day to dry out the sand people doing this right? That wouldn’t spread moist sand
Yeah moist sand doesn’t spread well at all I learned this that day actually 😂🤙🏾
I wonder if you would have mixed the two sands. But that spreader works wonderfully. Great job!
Your just have an addiction with that lawn
Yard is looking ah-nice! You are the best in the lawn care community. I predict that you’ll be over-seeding on April 13
🔥😊 Thank you my friend! I'm hoping so!!!! 😊🤙🏾
Whazzup Bro. That play sand will work just fine it’s however packed wet so one weekend just get a tarp and lay the sand out evenly about an inch at most and let it sun dry. It will work great then.
Thanks brotha! you know me though I want instant results I hate waiting 😂🤙🏾
@@YardBrah same but just letting ya know. Or… save it and mix the play sand with the top soil in the peat moss spreader 50/50 and get an even better mix
@@TheOriginalStevenH Oh damn that's a good idea too!!!!!! Thanks brotha! 😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🔥
Brah! Amazing! So satisfying lol
Thanks brotha! Just did more leveling today should be a better lit video last night was dark 😂😊🤙🏾🔥🙏🏾
Even coverage! Love it!🤙
Omg wait till the next video it covers so much more evenly!!! 😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥
I always spread a sandy lawn soil instead of straight sand on my lawn. I have always read this: According to the Institute of Food and Agriculture at the University of Florida, top dressing home lawns with sand is more harmful than helpful. Experts agree that sand should only be used on a lawn to level low areas, cover exposed tree roots, and to fix heavy thatch build up. Even in those cases, it is recommended that you top dress with a rich, fine compost instead of sand.
I want a soil spreader since I have almost 6000 sq ft of lawn on Vancouver Island
You know I read that too but seeing all these golf course fairways and greens with a ton of just sand makes me think… hmmm why not 😂😂😂 if Augusta can look like that mine can look like that too 😂😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🔥
@@YardBrah yeah bro. I'm going to see how yours goes and then maybe I'll do mine! I'm only a year into this lawn care stuff anyway, lol
PGA "Hold my beer"
@@jbaruman272 😂😂😂🤙🏾
@@MidIslandCustomDiecast Oh yeah all sand does is mix in with the soil, it's not like your just gonna have a layer of sand the ground moves and shifts over time sand and soil will mix in 😊🤙🏾
I fucking love this channel.
Thank you for the support brotha 😊🤙🏾🔥🙏🏾
Looks like She spreads... Ah-Noice!
Bro when I dialed it down after the video it was spreading nice! I’m gonna grab another couple bags just to keep “testing” 😂😂😂
Fuck that’s badass, what a time saver!!!
It’s so nice! Once I adjusted the flow it’s so sick!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🔥
I need to level but my soil contains a lot of clay. Would sand + clay turn to cement? Or should I use an organic filler?
Oh yeah sand is gonna weigh down the clay I wouldn’t sand top dress… you’re right a compost is going to be much more beneficial! 😊🤙🏾🔥🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@YardBrah incorrect. topdressing clay with sand making concrete is a myth. i am in a 100% clay area and the only thing that combats the compaction of the clay is sand. always aerate first. ive put down thousands of yards of sand on clay soil yards in my area. 100% noticeable difference in compaction, turf health, and moisture retention.
Nice, but a lot more sand was coming out of the right side, top of right wheel. Either a setting or the right deflector not working properly
Yeah I dialed it down that night it was flowing nice! just ran out of light! 😊🤙🏾
Can you add soil and sand mixture in the spreader?
I’ve noticed only really dry sand works… the soil kinda just moves around in the spreader and doesn’t go out 😂😂😂🤙🏾
@@YardBrah do you lay the sand down and then add top soil? I live in Philly... so we get a lot of flooding.
gotta get me one of these.
I'm buying one uhhhh-tuhDayyyyy!!! 😂
This comment has me dying 😂😂😂😂😂😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥
Do you know if salt spreaders are good for fertilizer/seed as well? I see these available on marketplace a lot but not so much the others. Tired of my scotts
I’ve heard they are but we will put it to the test soon! Stay tuned! 😊🔥🙏🏾🤙🏾
Other sites say sand doesn't retain nutrients or water and advise against it.
You’re right it’s mainly for leveling and proper drainage. I would still add soil and compost to help with nutrients along with your fertilizer schedule. Sand is all for aesthetic reasons ☺️🙏🏾🤙🏾
@YardBrah adding compost in the future over sand will it still add organic material in the soil?
My HD stores did not have that fluffy sand from Sakrete. Which store did you go to? That is the best sand.
Home Depot in Tacoma! 😊🔥👊🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾
Ahhh Nicee Bruhhh
Thank you my guy!!! 😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🔥
Have you used this with granular fertilizer? Looks similar to something like Lesco
Just remember once you go sand there is no going back :)
You know last season I went sand then later soil again and now sand… when you pull a plug it just looks like a layer cake 😂😂😂 no harm in sand and nutrients from the soil it all just adds into the mix 😂😊🙏🏾🤙🏾🔥
Sand can't retain nutrients. I've always been worried to put sand on cool season grass. Warm season grasses are more suited to sandy soils
@@MidIslandCustomDiecast you would be surprised what happens... it's not like the sand just stays where it is, it starts working its way into the soil making a mix. When I pulled a plug you can see the layers of sand and soil and the sand is def mixed in well 😊🤙🏾
Where did you get the sand?
Thanks
Thank you 😊🤙🏾🔥🙏🏾
Brother. Thank you for this video. I’m as anal as you are about my yard. You just have a new subscriber
Yes! Thank you for the support and thanks for tuning in!!! 😊👊🏾🙏🏾🔥🤙🏾
Great video. Do you think masonry sand will work? Its like 40 bucks a yard
I would just make sure it doesn’t have a ton of big rocks… the landscape supply here their masonry sand was fully rocked up I would have had to screen it heavy waste of time… my lawn is small enough to just get the silica 100lbs bags only working with 4000sqft… if you’re gonna reel mow try finding a smaller grain sand silica is the best PGA approved 😊🙏🏾🤙🏾
what song was that when the spreader started working
I use epidemicsound for most my music I just listen and vibe I rarely look at the song title and artist 😂😂😂🤙🏾
Would the peat moss work in there?
Unfortunately peat moss does not work in spreaders I’ve tried 😂 peat moss/ compost spreader is the best 😊🤙🏾
To anyone in the reel mower game that uses the sunjoe or something similar to that rare machine. What would be a recommendation you have for someone looking for it! TIA
I heard marketplace is a gem of a place to find rare reel mowers! 😊🔥🤙🏾🙏🏾
@@YardBrah little update I think that I may have secured the evasive little bastard! Hopefully should have it by the end of the week.
1:43 😂 I forgot the name of that movie?
would that fine sand work in a scotts drop spreader?
I’m sure it would I use my Scott’s broadcast spreader with silica for my tiny backyard greens 😊🤙🏾
Does the spreader work OK? I just ordered one for putting out fertilizer on lawn.
For sand I love it! As a fertilizer spreader I still have to dial it down so it doesn't just spew everywhere! 😂😊🤙🏾🔥🙏🏾
@@YardBrah thank you. Appreciate it
It's raining 🎉
😂😂😂😂 pops 😂👊🏾
Man! Where do you store all this lawn equipment?! A shed company better send you a new shed as your arsenal continues to grow😊.
What do you think you're doing with that broom.
I’m bringing up the smothered blades of grass 😊🤙🏾🔥🙏🏾
Do you think river sand would work???
From my understanding river sand has a ton of rocks … unless you can sift through the rocks and have a ton of fine material left over I wouldn’t recommend it especially if you’re reel mowing 🤙🏾
Thats alota damn shoes
How many bags per 100lb did you use?
During spring leveling I will put 10 100lbs bags on the main lawn. It’s pretty level so I don’t need much ☺️🤙🏾
playsand bad idea. it will lock together
This looks much easier than doing a full out leveling job. Id rather do this over time than kill myself bringing in a few yards of sand every year and working in the heat of Texas to smooth out my yard.
I have the HAR-Tru Hand spreader and I wish I got it sooner.
Do you have Facebook? I can show you some videos and pictures
Yes those are some nice spreaders! 😊👊🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾
Love the videos my bro where you from cali?
Aye brother I live in Pacific Northwest now but I was in Hollywood for a couple years! Miss me some Cali 😊🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾🔥🔥🔥
@@YardBrah I am in Tracy California
@@ignaciorivas4712 Oh dang!!!! Tracy California!!! I went to a freakin mud there in like 2012 😂 That place get hella hot in the summer!!! 😂🤙🏾
@@YardBrah yup
@@YardBrah keep doing your thing brother you got me inspired.
You think this can spread compost?
Oh no it will get jammed up better to use a compost spreader for that! 😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🔥
What's the advantage of spreading sand like this ?
Even coverage of sand… no more shovel throwing, easier to level out sand where you want it! It just makes sand leveling easier! 😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🔥
I need this to work for top soil 😂 to scared to sand level idk if it's true when you go sand you can't go back
If it gets in your eyes it can damage your retinas.
Just be careful not wearing a mask while using silica, silicosis is not a nice thing to see someone get. It can be dangerous stuff.
I’m learning from you guys now!!! Thank you def gonna wear a mask around this stuff from now on!!! 😊🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🔥🤙🏾
yep my dad died from silica dust in the lungs,,once in it never leaves the body,,horrible way to go out
Do u live at home depot
I live at both box stores and part time at ace hardware 😂😂😂🤙🏾😊🔥🙏🏾
sand levelling 😂🤣😅😆😁
Ego power brush maybe????
I'm gonna get the Swardman attachment the ego brush seems super harsh after seeing it in action... it's meant to clean driveways and gravel etc I'm afraid it will rip the grass apart 😂 I've always wanted the Ego brush though just to have! 😊🤙🏾🔥🙏🏾
Not 4 $300...everyone don't have money like that..I need u get show us tools that's affordable for us poor folk
I try to get budget tools but 2024 is kicking all our butts right now! 😂😂😂😊🤙🏾
Looked as though the ‘Play Sand’ that you first poured into the hopper was too wet, no?! Too wet that it’s clumped up and was not able to freely fall through the spreader hole
