Timelapse lawn renovation in a shady spot

This lawn renovation includes scarifying heavily, overseeding and topdressing. The garden is in a partially shaded area and struggles with leaves each winter.

When I arrived the customer had removed a number of patio slabs and asked me to seed under those. I hadn't anticipated this, so I did the best I could with what I had brought. Otherwise, I would have brought some additional topsoil in to bring the soil level up a little bit.

In this video, I mention using a Wolf Garten hand scarifying rake and also a compost spreader.

Any questions? Please comment below and Ill do my best to answer

As I’m starting to find…. I’m in a new build the lawn It’s full of stones! I moved into the house 6 months ago but soon after moving in I suffered Sepsis losing all my toes then a stroke for just for good measure. I love my gardening and this was my last move in my life and I’m started with a square lawn and that’s it. I’ve sat down on the lawn digging up a border and planted so many things. Everything’s come out lovely in Spring.
Now I’m starting the right hand side again with a little spade lol I’m determined not to let the garden be awful and so far I love it although I’m doing it sitting down and using my one good arm but I’m doing it. I had my heart set on a little green house but I have no family and no friends here!

I’m from Doncaster originally and my Son lives in Sprotbrough, , , and now I’m living in Worksop Not too far away … you sound as local as they come? Anywhere near Doncaster by any chance?

I’m watching your videos intently cos you offset some great advice and share a lot of knowledge on the subject I wish I could afford your help but things all went pear shaped and I lost my car, job, everything cos of my useless health problems. Keep up your good work I have subscribed to your channel!

Wow, best vid for preparing and seeding for lawn I've ever seen! I love that mulch spreader! Great vid, thanx.

This is the best video I’ve ever seen of a lawn renovation/overseeding 😮 so satisfying and helpful.

Moved into a house where the garden wasn't touched for around 8 years. Mostly got it sorted, but the lawn is beating me. Thank you for a nice, simple video showing me exactly what I should do. Read up about it is all well and good, but seeing a pro actually do it is way better.

I'm in California my lawn is 40 years old and I have neglected to do anything for the last 5 years because of the droughts, we are having a bit of rain this year, yesterday I rented a power rake and I cleaned out a lot of dead stuff, I have a large bare area, I sprayed everything with round up and next week I'm going to start seeding, next week there's going to be a few rainy days, thanks for the tips.

I did this on our lawn last week with a fescue mix, fingers crossed it will take. Your videos are great and I thoroughly enjoy watching them. Stay safe fella, from Lancashire 👍🏻

Cheers from California. Getting ready to also renovate my lawn. Thanks for the vid, mate!

Gone cold here frosty mornings, I've postponed my scarifying and seeding for a week or 2, but I'm all ready to start it.

[markjefferson]

It amazes me they get you in to sort out a garden the size of a postage stamp!

Used my Wolfgarten rake for the first time the other day - cracking tool!
