This is no good to anyone that's got a fence in place! Unless of course you remove 3 inches of dirt soil. Then top-up with sand? And soil before composting the top. Sand will eventually sink thus rendering it as useless, unless it's a meter in depth.

I fell asleep at shovel...

Barney Fife gardens?

so what if there is grass and dips around the yard ? can I still do this and expect to re sod the whole yard ?

this guy is so boring to listen too.

Hope this is a clients lawn and not his own. Looks like shit if you ask me.

Most unenthusiastic video ever lol

Sorry pal but that is not a lawn more like a weed patch.

"Orange sand" must be a technical term. Can someone translate?

So...he TALKS about how it is done......right. Was looking for visual aids :)

Our whole lawn is uneven. Should I cover the entire thing? It's also on a bit of a hill so would be worried about any of the stuff put down being washed downhill in rain.

Leveling uneven spots in a lawn can really make it easier to upkeep. Great tips.

Sounds like they are trying to go for a cash grab, or don't want to go through the process of doing it the right way. Unless you have horrible problems with weeds as well as a terribly lumpy lawn this is the best way to do it.

Looks like he's drunk.

Nice tips. Very informative! thank you for uploading video. Really a big help! good job!

great stuff. Thanks!

I have leveled low spots in my yard by raking up my grass clippings and putting them in the low spots. It took me about 2 seasons to do my yard but the work was easy and the only cost was for some fresh grass seed.

core aerating just put little holes in your yard and nothing else. using a liquid aerify actually works the whole yard.

You need to aerate it. Rent a mechanical aerator from your local DIY store and use it. It will pull plugs of tough dirt from your lawn which helps loosen up the soil and get helps it get oxygen better, ultimately leading to a better lawn. Reseeding after aeration is recommended also if you have the money to do so.
