I Leveled my Lawn using ONLY items from Home Depot

Plan on LEVELING your Lawn? Watch this.

In this video I cover how I used only a few simple items from Home Depot to level my lawn.

The secret to a perfect looking lawn is making it FLAT.

Is your entire lawn or areas of the lawn filled with dips, ruts, low spots, and high spots? When your lawn isn’t level it can make it look terrible and lead to damage and injury due to the bumps making you twist your ankles and scalp your lawn with your mower. Good thing is, you can level your lawn yourself with a few simple items from Home Depot such as a landscape rake, push broom, sand, soil, and a gorilla cart or wheel barrel.

A level lawn also leads to a healthier and easier to maintain turf. It will result in a higher quality cut because your mower won’t scalp the lawn. Not to mention, mowing over a bumpy surface is uncomfortable and can cause injury to your ankles. Low spots are of particular concern because as the tires pass over them, the level of the mower blade also drops, plunging it into the higher spots and cutting the grass too low in that specific spot leading to scalping of the lawn. The last advantage to a level lawn is drainage. Holes and low spots tend to collect water in pools, which increases chance of lawn fungus.

Basic equipment needed to level your lawn lawn leveling rake or lawn leveler , lawn lute , lawn level drag or any other kind of lawn level tool, in this video I use a landscape rake . Also you will need a gorilla cart or wheel barrel to haul around the thousands of pounds of material. If you are looking to get more specific tools for the job such a rake designed just for leveling your lawn I will leave a link below.

As soon as I saw the New Balance dad shoes I knew this man was a professional and he knows what he’s doing. Now we just need a grilling video. Level the lawn and cook for the family.

I have a level lawn tool but never the motivation to get tons and tons of sand delivered. Now I can spend $30, make a quick mix and do some spot leveling here and there over several weekends when I’m feeling it. Nice video, thanks!

That Menards theme music is straight up Midwest! 🤘😁

Just used this same rake to level my lawn. I was surprised at how well it worked. My lawn looked like the grand canyon and now it resembles a semi decent lawn. I'll for sure have to perfect it next year.

Welcome back! Awesome video as always, looking forward to many more this season.

Legit. Like the advice for us average weekend Warriors that don’t have tons of fancy tools to make our yards look perfect. Just the basics to get a respectable look. Thanks!

At first i was skeptical about this guy and his ability…..then i saw the new balance shoes….im now a subscriber and have simce purchased my own pair. Great info, great video lol

One other thing about the gorilla cart…they have a 600 lb. capacity so anytime you need to move anything heavy (like bags of sand, dirt, sod rolls, bricks, pavers, etc.) from the car or around the yard they’re super handy. Also great camp/beach wagons. Worth owning.

This was on my recommended page because I plan on doing some lawn leveling and was not disappointed! Awesome video definitely will be watching more!

I use dirt from landscaping bushes to fix the dips in my yard. I get it as fine as I can, then spread it over the low spots. I smooth it with a broom afterwards. After about a week, the grass fills back in. 🐀🐾

This is why I love your channel. Nothing fancy, just stuff anyone can buy at big box stores 👌

Just got my Gorilla Cart from HD. So far, it’s been great! Ever since getting the new place, I find myself at Home Depot almost every day!

Nice to see a sand leveling video that doesn't involve a giant dump truck full of USGA spec sand. The only place I could find with it near me says they require a minimum of 10 cubic yards. There's probably some landscaping supply places around with adequate sand though. I just read an article about golf courses using a mix of 80% sand and 20% mushroom soil or peat moss. Mushroom soil/compost sounds like great stuff, since it's weed free and has some organic matter and water retention properties. Looks like my local Lowe's has some 1 cu ft bags for about $4.50, doesn't sound too expensive to try it out in some areas.

Currently top dressing my lawn for the 1st time. Leveling rake was good for spreading so I've been using a leaf rake to get the grass back up. Wish I saw this video before & grabbed the broom, that looks way easier!!

[SLO_oh]

The Guerilla Cart is my daddy Caddy when doing yard work. Takes 10 minutes to assemble and is phenomenal. For less than 200 bucks, it's a steal!

It was funny to see him going into a Home Depot but had a remix of the Menards jingle.

Thank you for the videos. Fellow Chicagoan here. Just bought a house and my back yard is riddled with weeds and def not level. Previous owner had a pool removed and have a spot that’s HUGE!
