My lawn is about 30 years old, due to being a skint lazy sod, I’ve NEVER aerated it, scarified it, put top soil on, fed it, matted it…nothing, nada. I know it will never win any prizes, but for a general purpose lawn that gets a hammering all year, well it’s in pretty good shape…

Thanks for the very helpful information. My lawn was damaged by the very dry spell last year and had a lot of coarse grasses and bare patches. I got disheartened and largely left the lawn alone except for grass cutting. However I've just scarified it and applied a proprietary "Autumn and Winter" fertiliser, recovery is on the way.

Thank you for your videos. I have recently sorted my garden following all your steps, advice, product recommendations and 2.5 weeks after overseeing it looks fantastic. It did look terrible.

I've a bloke opposite me who cuts his grass virtually every week through Spring, summer and autumn in the east of UK, then he scarifies the life out of his lawn in Springtime and ends up buying expensive quick-growing lawn seed to fill in all the bare patches he has made. I politely asked him why his does this and his answer was: "I like it to look tidy!" Really, with bare holes in it and ending up with different shades of green! Definitely a touch of the OCD. I told him to highten his cut on his mower, chuck the scarifier in the bin and, finally, let the poor old grass live and 'grow'. Let nature look after it and it will repay you with a lush and green glow throughout the summer and autumn months. All this expensive and unnecessary care for lawns can be achieved by common sense and letting the poor grass, like most other plants, grow and mature into a healthy and strong lawn. Cut when necessary. Easy peasy!

Thatch can actually be good for lawns, especially in summer as it helps shade roots.

Please also discuss costs (plant hiring and materials) involved for all the activities shown in the video.

over seeded my lawn aug 28th, now oct 10th. Looks good still have a few thin spots and a bit of rye im trying to get out. But overall looks solid.

I'm sure this is good advice but my lawn at the moment looks superb so apart from making holes in the turf I am reluctant to scarify and add soil and seed. It just doesn't make sense if the lawn is in very good shape. I may have to eat my words in Spring but I will take the chance.

Up down all around. First time i have heard that. Great tip

This is great advice. However, can i point out that using the blowers to collect up the debris is a really noisy option for the neighbours. Why not use the rotary mower which will be a lot quieter.

Hello gents. Can you advise me? I have scarified, seeded and top dressed my lawn. It is about two and half inches long. I live in the south-west UK, the weather this last couple of weeks has been very wet. My grass needs to be cut but the ground is quite soft. I am worried I will rip up the new grass if I cut it. What would be your advice please?. Great videos 👍🤗

[andydidcott]

I just let my lawn fend for itself, seems to do ok.

[cachevalleyshedsinhydepark]

great tips! I had no idea there was so much that went into the fall. Is there anything you do different if the place has snow?

[momeara]

The message seems to be: Engage a contractor unless you can afford to buy a shed-full of equipment & materials, and you can afford to do so.

I’ve had a box of Super phosphate and some Sulphate of Potash on my shelf for a while and I’ve been considering using it on the lawn. Wasn’t sure what sort of dose to use tho!

[RobertHill-hs]

Love your videos. But can you have a word with Boston Seeds. They won’t supply in Northern Ireland and why won’t you come to Dundonald I have great lawn just waiting for you.

Hi where can you borrow or rent the aerate machine as I manually use a fork? Is a fork just as effective?
