Silver Cymbal Hey I built something like similar that out of an old fridge metal shelf and an old rake handle. But I also built a trammel to sift the earth or the sand from the beach I sometime use for divers. Thanks for the video
I like this idea better than renting a roller to level out the yard! It doesn't take up alot of time. It's not noisy either if you have a few spots to fill in on a work night. Plus it doesn't take up alot of storage space either.
Finally, a tool and how-to video to do something I've been wanting to do for years. My lawn is full if dips and bumps that drive absolutely nuts. I'll give this a try, thanks for making the video!
Thank you very much for such a kind comment. I am thrilled to show this since I had the same situation and it really made a big difference in getting it done without the stress. Thank you for watching.
You've succeeded where I believe many have failed. I now fully understand how this tool works, why it's designed like that, and how to actually use it. Thank you!
I mix 1/3 top soil 1/3 multch or peat moss and 1/3 aged alder sawdust. Works good on coastal climate that has high sand content. Of course trace minerals and lime to balance ph to absorb nutrients. In climate 100"-140" rain per year and costal micro climate. Local plants help. A local nursery of trees helps as well.
Thanks for taking the time to make the video and introducing the levelawn. I did not know that kind of tool existed! I can't wait to take care of the the bumps on my lawn.
Love the rake, I have a small yard 63x30 to level, just removed extra dirt with a crew and bobcat yesterday and today, half the yard was leveled but the bobcat left the ground uneven, the crew says they can level it but I like this tool and saved it in my amazon list just in case they do not do good job i would buy it and do it myself, we need to level the ground, treat for weed, put some weed protection sheets along then instead of sod i would get those green rugs from Loves to cover the majority of it, the idea is to create a level space enough to build a shed in one side then we have an above ground pool of 32x16 to set up; the half that was leveled previously we had a 16x16 round pool before when the kids were younger; now they are teens but want the pool back; kudos to your helper there; she is adorable, enjoy her because they grow fast and one day you wonder where the time went! Cheers from Las Vegas!
Great vid. I am up to a 40.000 sqft yard at the moment using this tool. One tip … you better sift the soil first. I just bought a 1/8 1/2 and a 1/4 screen for my bobcat sifter to do that.
Good stuff. My front lawn is very uneven and basically there are big pockets of water when it rains hard. My old landscaping co wanted $1700 to level it and put new grass in. I know I would need a big amount of soil/sand to fill it in.
normally when you rake, everything (rocks, sharp sticks, etc.) get sunk into the dirt. This isn't the case with a tine rake, in fact they do a great job at pulling debris to the top so it can be picked out. I have a soil spreader and I love it, but I would reach for the tine rake all day to do this.
Fighting myself like heck Not to buy this crazy expensive tool but....your success is very persuasive. Oh, I would have no problem spending that money on fishing gear! Priorities. Been looking at topsoil and it is disappointing to see that all bagged topsoil is shipped as “mud”, that is, 100% wet! That’s why a bag weighs 40 lbs. not cool. Love to see a Happy kid “working” with Dad. One of my Kids sent me a Thank You note today for the time I spent showing her how she can fix things herself. She runs restaurants and hiring someone impacts her restaurants bottom line. Yeah to you Brother. Be well.
I remember you showed this tool in an earlier video and I was just going to take another look at it. This is really great and I'm going to get one. Thanks!
Another Silver Cymbal video, another tool I don't have that I could really use, another $150 sent to Amazon, another glaring look from the wife when the box arrives on the doorstep. I swear, sometimes I think the delivery driver is smiling because he CAN'T WAIT to see my Mrs. go off on me, again, and again. Great video. Was wondering how those things did what they do. #HappensEveryTime
@@SilverCymbal I love ALL of them, that's the problem! Although I think the wife had a point when I told her how great having a Kubota like yours would be ("But honey, its also a DUMP TRUCK!"), when she pointed out "We live in a TOWNHOUSE!"
My new sod is only a year old and it's already so bumpy and rutted. Considering the price of a new lawn, a $200 tool to keep it level is pennies. Thanks for the video!
Your daughter is too cute. God bless her. Nothing like daddy and daughter time. Reminds me of my daughter when she was that age. Hey did you do a follow up video.l on the after results of your lawn? Thanks for showing off that rake. Im almost sure ill have to buy one.
I made a one out of 2 x 4 and screen on top to to keep the rocks from falling, but I need to make handle for it. At the moment I have ropes attached to it and just drag the dirt over the ground.
You, can the same part of my yard is in the opening part of this video and shown throughout after the leveling. ua-cam.com/video/oNr2cQwKPrI/v-deo.html
@@SilverCymbal Yeah, it just takes forever to fill a low spot with it. But it seems just as easy to walk to my front yard and throw it out there as it is to walk over to my trash can and throw it there.
Very nice video. I am going to get one to start getting my yard level from the little trenches my watering system install created. However, I think golf courses use masonry sand so it doesn't re-sink. Hold the level better I think. Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate that, they certainly might dislike the video but I think many are not happy with the price of the tool but it is really worth it. I waited two years before finally buying it, I wish I bought it sooner. Thanks for your support.
People in Cumberland md. Use riding mowers they mow there yard every day and level it with the mower. Mostly 40 year old or older men living at moms do it
Another great video! I remember these from my golf course days we called them "level-alls". They're very handy. We would use them on tee boxes especially Par 3's to repair areas with lots of divots. We would make small piles of a dark sand and seed mix and incorporate it into the turf with the level-all just like you did. Nice work!
Thanks for the great video, new home owner and I’m wondering would bags of soil work in place of regular dirt? Perhaps benefit the lawn more? Any recommendations would help thanks again for the how to video
Thank you very much for the kind words - From what I understand these are not patented so there are several available but this one is called the Levelawn and you can buy it from Golf Griffin. Best wishes to you and thanks for watching.
How come you decided not to put down new grass seed? I’ve been searching youtube for a while on tips for level out lawns cause ours so all bumpy. Other videos show doing grass seed over the dirt? Is that necessary? If I don’t have to I would like not too since I have a puppy and a small yard. Love your channel!
It really helps a lot. Every time I use it I am still impressed how it's simpel design leaves me with a very level lawn. I even just used it to level our a garden bed too.
I hear you. Its a set of angle irons and if you can weld you will be able to make short work of one. No matter what you do, getting or making one of these is the best idea around!

Again, Big Thank You and Your Lovely Team for your efforts........
I noticed you didn’t add a mix of sand and soil. I have a very deep divot probably caused by voles. Also I have many divots throughout my lawn. What kind of sand would you recommend? Ie: playground sand, paver base sand, etc. thanks for your help.

I just would like to know the proper name for this item or rake whatever it is where can I buy Home Depot ,Lowe's just need to know

Would of been nice to have a link to the rake ? Amazon eBay something
The little girl is so cute 😊 she reminds me of my sisters when they were her age, always excited to help!

I used to have a helper like yours and company was all the help I needed.
My 5 and 7 year old help me I wish they stopped growing ;(
You've succeeded where I believe many have failed. I now fully understand how this tool works, why it's designed like that, and how to actually use it. Thank you!
I bought this tool last month and leveled my whole lawn! it's great! and love that you have a great helper. you earned a new subscriber
So glad to hear that about the tool and thank you for subscribing and the kind comment. Best wishes to you.
Where did you get it?
@@youme77324i cant find it either
Thats sweet my little girl helps me all the time in the yard. You'll be glad you video taped this years later
I was thinking the same thing. Must be fun to watch it years from now. It's great to involve them with something other than the smart phone :)

That is a great tip, and that's a lot of sq ft to do. You must have been very busy! It's harder and harder to get goo quality top soil here too.
Bobcat sifter!? Tell me about it. I've been sifting my yard by hand and it's rediculous. I have the 1/2 and 1/4 inch mesh and I'm losing faith...
Good stuff. My front lawn is very uneven and basically there are big pockets of water when it rains hard. My old landscaping co wanted $1700 to level it and put new grass in. I know I would need a big amount of soil/sand to fill it in.
Mark all the pockets and fill them with sand.
Its nice to heaah someone who talks right
A lute is a very handy too indeed, nothing better for levelling. Where I live I pretty much need to use it annually..
Nice vid.
Massive thank you. The tool and the method shown suits the issues I've got in my lawn. Time to get working
I have used this on driving range and tees, it was so easy and it does a great job
Cutest helper ever!
I need this! Laid a new lawn last year and it's very undulated. Thanks for showing.

Thank you check out my channel for more lawn care videos and DIY around the house. Thanks for watching,
Great video, I built one for $47 using 16 gauge 90-degree steel 36 inches by 10 inches. Amazon sells a 30 inch by 10 inches for $150!
LOVE the family involvement, and that your not afraid of the camera lens. Unlike some UA-camr named AvE.
Thank you for the nice comment I appreciate it a lot. We all enjoy sharing these, more to come.
My lawn has lots of divets and impressions. They give it earthy character; who wants a snooker table lawn? not me.
Expensive tool but it seems to be the only one i've found to be worth the cost. Will bite the bullet and get this. Good video.
Thank you, you are 100% right, nothing spreads it like this. amzn.to/2SeFSe2
Just ordered one from amazon today.
not sure why but the leveling is somewhat soothing...lol
I was able to borrow one. I’ve been using a mix of potting soil, sand and black kow, since the clay in GA doesn’t do a good job
I live in Alabama and the clay is bad. I compost and make tons of topsoil.
Great video , spring here in Australia so want to level my lawn ready for summer 👌👌
I remember you showed this tool in an earlier video and I was just going to take another look at it. This is really great and I'm going to get one. Thanks!
Nice solution. Thank you! ... and kudos to your helper. She did a great job!
That's great to know when you a home owner 👍
Glad it helped!

Although I think the wife had a point when I told her how great having a Kubota like yours would be ("But honey, its also a DUMP TRUCK!"), when she pointed out "We live in a TOWNHOUSE!"
I just brought the level rake too.
After leveling your lawn, I gather you must be seeding those areas? What time of year are you doing this?
That looks to be a minature/manual version of a land plane that you would attach to the 3 point hitch of a tractor.
Is dad stealing the dirt at the neighbor? Incredible.......
Hehehe, never!
My new sod is only a year old and it's already so bumpy and rutted. Considering the price of a new lawn, a $200 tool to keep it level is pennies. Thanks for the video!
When you use this in person you all be amazed at how fast it works on each spot. Literally a few passes and totally smooth. You will really like it
I've used this at work on our bowls green and green squares here in uk and I've always known that tool as a loot. Very good thats for certain 🙂
Your daughter is too cute. God bless her. Nothing like daddy and daughter time. Reminds me of my daughter when she was that age. Hey did you do a follow up video.l on the after results of your lawn? Thanks for showing off that rake. Im almost sure ill have to buy one.
Sounds like a lot of rocks and a pain to pick up. Great leveling tool!
Thanks for share your technique! Appreciate it
I made a one out of 2 x 4 and screen on top to to keep the rocks from falling, but I need to make handle for it. At the moment I have ropes attached to it and just drag the dirt over the ground.
Cool idea. Wish we can see the result after a few weeks
You, can the same part of my yard is in the opening part of this video and shown throughout after the leveling. ua-cam.com/video/oNr2cQwKPrI/v-deo.html
More rocks than soil ;-) perfect job
I thought I was going to have to scalp my lawn to raise the level. Thank you for this video!
Thank you for the nice comment and for watching. Best wishes to you.
I like to use coffee grounds. Instead of throwing them in the trash I throw them in the low spots of my lawn. Plus it acts as a fertilizer.
Very interesting idea, I will have to give that one a try too.
@@SilverCymbal Yeah, it just takes forever to fill a low spot with it. But it seems just as easy to walk to my front yard and throw it out there as it is to walk over to my trash can and throw it there.

I have holes from where I have dug dandelions. This video shows me how to fill them. Thank you.
Great vid! To the point! I’d like to know who the 200+ tools are that dislike your vid!
I appreciate that, they certainly might dislike the video but I think many are not happy with the price of the tool but it is really worth it. I waited two years before finally buying it, I wish I bought it sooner. Thanks for your support.
I think it’s people who think he’s a dunce for putting dirt with rocks in it on his lawn.
People who think it’s a great idea to put dirt full of weeds, twigs & rocks then tittle the video Level Like A Pro.
Funny I was just on level lawns site and this exact video was on there
People in Cumberland md. Use riding mowers they mow there yard every day and level it with the mower. Mostly 40 year old or older men living at moms do it
I'd really like to pet that sweet dog, "Snow" @ 6:29 What a cutie.
Thank you, she's a great dog and breed. You have to get over not like a LOT of pet hair but she is very loving. Thanks for watching.
Brilliantly done
Thank you
thumbs up because of the helper
Thank you for this video. I will do this to my lawn.
As per usual, great video. The little one is so cute - mazel tov.
The backside of a dirt racks pretty good too
Another great video! I remember these from my golf course days we called them "level-alls". They're very handy. We would use them on tee boxes especially Par 3's to repair areas with lots of divots. We would make small piles of a dark sand and seed mix and incorporate it into the turf with the level-all just like you did. Nice work!
Thank you for the nice comment and interesting info! Very cool stuff.
Your daughter should do voice-over work. She has great rhythm, inflection, and tone for her age.
No voice actor. Creep with daddy issues living in mothers basement?
This tool is so cool. I really don‘t understand why i can‘t buy it over here in Germany. Even the german amazon doesn‘t offer it.
That is too bad! I thought they were more popular in europe, possibly amazon uk?
If you have an extra $160 you can have one of these tools which you will use maybe once. Twice if you didn't do such a good job first time.
Ideally a tool like that is for professional landscapers who can turn a profit on it.
Personally, I use a rake or my foot works well enough.
Absolutely fantastic video very helpful
All those rocks make your lawn look like mine. Love glacial till as soil.
Thanks for the great video, new home owner and I’m wondering would bags of soil work in place of regular dirt? Perhaps benefit the lawn more? Any recommendations would help thanks again for the how to video
That dog will show it's appreciation with a big o'l poop on the lawn...
thanks for the info was helpful i will get one
you should of put seed down since you were laying dirt down anyways.
watching at 2x speed because video could get most of the information in 1-2 minutes! Good video though!
That worked great! Thanks for the tips!!
Clever!
Thanks 👍😎
No problem 👍
The tool is called a “lute” in the UK.
Here we gooo!
I complete rip off at $130 buck. Crazy!
I like it
Cool tool and nice tip, SC. Thanks for the video. 👍
The leveling lawn rack demo was great. The only thing missing was the name of the product and where can you purchase one.

It's called a Lute and they come in different sizes for various jobs
Thank you. I found one on Amazon, for $159
I GOT to get me one of those.
Badass tool!!!

Dads best helpers are always Daughters. The boys are becoming Lazy!

Tool is a lot wow
145 a little salty for me I'm going to weld one up. Thanks for the idea to do it though
I hear you. Its a set of angle irons and if you can weld you will be able to make short work of one. No matter what you do, getting or making one of these is the best idea around!
take a section of chain link fencing and drag it across the area to be leveled. that’s how we leveled our baseball field in high school.
If I’m reviving an old dead lean should I level before or after I’ve brought it back to life
"Mom, the weird neighbours stealing soil again!"
🤣
This may be a dumb question, but do you put new seed on top of the dirt? Or just let the grass grow through it?
I'd like to do this but in combination with scalping high areas.
Great video thank you. I have subscribed
Thank you very much
So, did you throw seed on top of the dirt? Do you have an updated shot of how it looks now? Thanks!
Rewelacja, świetna robota.
Best time to level ? Cut grass short?
We used to have a Spitz named Brutus.
Could you please tell me what the time of the year you do the leveling for the yards
