how to level soil and lay turf

Level soil and lay turf the fast and easy way. This step by step video will show you just how easy it is to level the ground / dirt before laying the new grass or lawn. This is a very simple DIY project that anyone can do themselves. Save a lot of money by doing it yourself. The soil should be a mixture of sand and soil to assist in the establishment of the new lawn. Using a top dressing soil leveler or spreader will make the job so much easier. The grass used in this project is buffalo also known as St. Augustine. Make sure to water the newly laid turf a few times a day for the first few weeks to prevent it from drying out.

Thanks for the video Bill, your videos are always very informative and you always do a quality job

[ajaykarratha]

Great! Pretty hard work. Anything you CANNOT do Bill? Thanks for the video. And yes, the traffic noise was annoying. Thanks again

Nice job job Bill. Don't forget the knee pads next time...and the ear muffs😁

Mate, you can lay some new lawn in my backyard anyday ... I've only got 50 square meters to do 🙂

That soil spreader is the bomb - Bill did you level the soil slight drop away from house ? Or is not needed on this project

[buzzcomber]

My front lawn has lots of undulations that I want to minimise. Will that soil spreader help with such a large area? Also how low should the soil be compared to the concrete edging of paths/retaining walls?

No coincidences … we had a freeze this past winter that did my grass in … I don’t know how this one was different- colder than normal at 20F /-6C we aren’t prepared for that to hang around and it did for a few days. Wiped my lawn out, but last year it was 12F/-11C These are ridiculous cold for Houston, Texas. Now I am redoing the lawn next week. So, any easy ideas how to get the mud /dead grass off the top? To put dirt on top doesn’t sound right without taking off residuals ie dead grass . Thanks for suggestions.

Billshowto Do you have a preferred species of turf to use in a full sun location please.

[MegaMarlynx]

I wouldn't be laying grass in that narrow space. I would be putting gravel down instead. Doesn't look like you would get much sunlight there. Good video, though.
