No one is talking about this lawn leveling tool! They're fighting about leveling rakes instead.

There are a lot of different tools you can use to level your lawn. Leveling rakes, drag mats, push brooms, garden rakes, landscape rakes...you get the picture. But no matter what you use, one thing remains the same for everybody, and it's as simple as this...

Just put the freakin' sand or mix on your lawn, spread it around to fill in the low spots, and voila...mission accomplished. Quit suckin' the fun outta lawn care, folks, and get back to enjoying the ride!

Links as promised:

This channel's videos share DIY lawn care tips for the average homeowner looking to fix an ugly lawn or maintain a nice one. Whether you're a beginner or experienced, you'll learn ways to have the best yard on the block without spending a lot of money.

I'm a husband and dad who loves his family and his lawn. Gotta care for and manage a budget for both.

I got my drag mat (I think it’s a 4’ x 5’ maybe) a few years ago to use on a lawn just slightly bigger than yours. It worked great. We were fortunate enough to move out on a little land and built a 17k sq ft lawn. I sand leveled it last year using mostly a tractor and box blade and a big homemade drag, but the drag mat behind the four wheeler was a great way to help work it down into the turf canopy. Underrated tool for sure especially when you can use it that way where it’s attached to something low to the ground so it doesn’t pull up the front end as much.

You're a smart man! I've been landscaping for 15+ years and you really don't need much but an abled body and some simple tools!
Thanks for the content!

My man ! I love this channel. It’s crazy I’ve never seen a drag mat before and the price of these rakes were giving me anxiety lol. Thanks for another great video and congratulations on the new home.

AMEN BROTHER! Alot of people are misguided by information that is being thrown at them. That's why I value you my brother. You always tell it like it is.

I genuinely love your content, a drag mat definetly works well especially at a fraction of the cost of a level rake. In fact I just use standard garden rakes to topdress low spots in my lawn and guess what? It does the job

Just pull it with your riding lawnmower, you could just get some chain link fence and run a metal rebar through it on one end and put rope on each end of the rebar, lay some heavy weight on it and drag it by hand or with your riding lawnmower.

LOVE this....your channel was one of the big inspirations for me to start my own... some people try to make it much more complicated than it should be.... love your approach....

Ol Travis dropping da mic! 🎤!!
!! Yes !! I love it. I recently posted a pic on Instagram about cross contamination in sprayer tanks.... I blacked out the tank names in pics... I feel like there are SOOOO many "affiliates" pushing products right now.

A bunch of sheep in lawn tubes, and wolves in sheep clothing too. Enjoyed the video. Don’t stay away so long, man.

Always keeping it reel! Straight to the point with no drama!

The drag mat been around for ever. Use them on little league baseball diamonds. They work great. Putting in the work is right.

Outstanding! I just put out a video of me using a drag mat. I like the cinder block on the back. The Mat is where its at. Cheers dude.

Well Budget Lawns has done it again. Spoken the truth. Funny I was just looking up drag mats yesterday morning before this video came out. I have a leveling rake and only used it once so far. There is not a product out there now or forever that can compete with putting in the work it takes to have a nice lawn and that's the TRUTH :)

[BudgetLawns]

Thumbs downs are rollin' in earlier than usual on this one! Truth hurts some folks' precious little feelings I guess. How dare I think for myself and say things that don't follow the herd. The nerve I've got. I appreciate all you leaders out there! Isn't the view so much better in the front than in the back?

Nice diy version! It does the same dang thing. I built a leveling drag out of 4 2x4’s and rope with a jerry can of water on top. I have a welder and probably could have made one from metal, but I used what I had and I don’t think the results were any different.

[johnhamilton]

Well said, I for one like your leveling rake. It’s a one of a kind. Keep it real for us👍.

[alexanderjamiemanuelsietz]

Thanks for the alternative! I bought that cheap Chinese rake, it broke after 5 min!
Anyways, now I don't trust any of the leveling rakes

[Aerialphotovito]

I always like your approach to lawn care methods plain and simple take care Travis.
