Did a video last week about why people should think twice before using sand, I think sand is overused for lawns these last couple of years, seems like every problem people have they want to use sand to fix it 🤷‍♂️ Great video!

Made the drag mat as you have like Robbie

I think sand dressing and should I brush sand down the core holes are the most asked questions of recent times. Good content on differences between the different types of sand. I remember reading that this all originated from the Scottish links golf courses where a green keeper noticed his green performance improved when sand got accidentally blown on to his test plots.

Thanks for the video first of all... Just a question... Is the sport sand same as the play sand? THANKS

[joegardener]

Never done them this time of year thanks

[standfast-kuuj]

You should use run flat wheels for your barrow’s. 👍

Outhouse, , has a different meaning in Canada. Shed and outhouse are not interchangeable. Going to the outhouse is something common, that you don't do in the shed.

I was thinking of making my own top dressing mix with screened top soil and sharp sand. But now after watching this I’m not sure… would you say sharp sand is inappropriate even if mixed with soil? Thanks for the video

What a lovely dog! I'm in the US and where I was raised we didn't even edge our lawns. So leveling a lawn is completely new to me. What is the purpose--beyond adding beauty to the lawn (of course, that's a good purpose in itself!)? I don't understand how sand levels the lawn?

[graemekenton]

Hi mate I've worked a lot on my lawn during the years, when I let it grow it grows clumpy, different lengths. It looks good when short, what advice would you give to get good lengths when left longer many thanks

[christopherthomson]

so what's your opinion of using likes of Westland or elixier lawn sand which helps kill moss? Also what is the best thing to top your lawn. sand, top soil, or compost or mix of compost and topsoil?. also would you put this down before or after putting down new grass seed?

[Rob-Train]

I was expecting to see poor Daniel chained up in your shed then!! 😂

[fairwaybermudalawn]

Great info 👍 I'm planning to top dress soon. I no we don't have sport sand here. You think adding worm casting before sand leveling will help. Thanks

[susanmetz]

I enjoyed your video. The drone footage was nice. However, I’m still confused. If sand has no nutritional value for the grass itself and doesn’t provide adequate draining, then why not just use top soil?

[davel]

I used a 70/30 mix last autumn and will not use sand . If I did I have a sand bucket with a. Castle on ! Great video as ever Robbie hope you and the family are well

[darr]

Read an article recently about adding sugar as a cheaper way to help green it and is also beneficial to microbes, insects, and worms.
Do you think this would be a good idea to try out?

[LawnRight]

fab! im coming to ireland to sneak some sand from your secret stash soon! ;-)

[joe]

So Robbie mate it's been about 6 weeks since I over sedded the lawn the new gras is about 5 the old grass a coming up to a foot nearly... Wat will I do try an cut long bits only or all of it.... Cheers mucker

[RPSPORT]

I have cut very short and then scarified my lawn. I then used iron sulphate to kill the moss that remained. (There was lots). How long should I leave it before overseeding and top dressing? Should I scarify again before this?

[jack_.mm]

This year I'm going to level my lawn for the first time, I was thinking about soil/sand mix, can you recommend any?
