In the context of your video, do you use the soluble sulphate of iron after you have cleaned up the thatch or a period of time before you due to do the thatching? or when? thank you
So much thatch. I enjoy dethatching videos more than mowing ones. I have to say that the single best thing I done to my yard was dethatching. Marking your sprayer pass it a great idea, I'll be using it from now on.👍🏽
Just came across your channel tonight....great wee channel from Northern Ireland. I'm a professional (use that word loosely but I'm told my work is great with plenty repeat business) based Co Antrim for the last 11yrs. Well done to you for promoting here on You tube. I reckon you're the only one from Northern Ireland who does this. Great, keep up the good work
WONDERFUL VIDEO - especially for an absolute newbie like me. Everyday I get excited to look at my first garden and then get overwhelmed by all the growth and my zero knowledge. So your video has absolutely prepared me for my front lawn. I just need to go get equipment. What do you do with the thatch afterwards? Can it be used in the base of high rise planters ? (Yes, newbie to gardening and growing food and doing both 🤣 ) Thank you for making this video, it was really good and importantly easy to understand everything you said alongside the demonstrations and the samples. Really appreciate it.
Only recently found your videos and I absolutely love them. Very well put together, nice & easy to understand 👍🏻 great job. All the best from bonnie Scotland.
Great video. Please watch your back though when pulling that pull start. I find pulling with the left-hand and supporting with the right allows for better posture
Great tip on the landscaper rake! I scarified a big lawn last weekend and had to rake it up with a leaf rake...also very interesting to understand how you cross cut at a gentle angle. I was reassured by how much came out of your nice lawn as I had a mountain of thatch from a bad one! Using what looks like same machine and just 2 passes at highest level...
Great video that led me to purchasing a Hyundai scarifier, only downside is it has led me to doing friends and family lawns, really think you need to open a branch in NE Scotland 🤔👍
What is your favourite part of your lawn care job Robbie ? I always like watching the scarification element to see how much debris comes out of people’s lawns you video
Nice to see a lawn tutorial on lawns from our part of the world, I have a large lawn and I have scarified before but apparently incorrectly, I will be following your recommendations from now on. I will be purchasing a rake from your recommended supplier, but wondered would I be doing any harm mowing the debris up rather than raking? Scratch that, just watched another vid and saw it being done.
Great video mate, that's my job this weekend, scarify, re seed, top dress.. look forward to it every year. Great spell of weather too, up in Donegal here 😎😎
Great video. Thank you, love the tall rake, makes so much sense. Is it possible to scarify and eliminate moss without treating the moss separately? Thanks
Robbie.. have been watching your videos for a while and have got into gardening since lockdown. After scarifying what is the best iron product and way to put it on your lawn
I just did my first dethatching today. I dethatched on one pass and scarified on the next pass. Next time I may just scarify only. Darned if I will rake it all up. I tried blowing it in a pile first but eventually just used a lawnmower with a bag. Not a lot of fun but boy did my yard need it.
Hello again Robbie . Many thanks for your reply . I should have said that Our Cat does eat the grass ! I think it helps them . She has done this for a few years . I suppose there isn"t much I can do really !! Cheers .
This brings back memories (not so good because of the cleaning up) of my old garden, it was so bad with moss and thatch it took 4 passes to get it out and at 400 sq yards the amount taken out probably filled one of the big skips at Drumlough dump outside Hillsborough.
@@Premier_lawns_official it wasn't half, hired the machine for 2 days and was at it for a total of 8-9 hours a day for 3 days with many runs to the dump. My father in-law told me I was mad partly because it was a rented house (lived there for 12 years) so why bother and the amount of work but after a few weeks he actually said it was exactly what the lawn needed and it looked like a premier League football pitch because in the garage was a old Atco royale b30 that I restored but because of all the moss and thatch it wouldn't cut the best. A lot of work but well worth it. I'm enjoying your videos, l,m glad I stumbled on them. 👍
@@Premier_lawns_official it wasn't half but worth it even though it was a rented house and with the old Atco royale b30 that was in the garage (that I restored) the lawn looked like the pitch on the first day of the season at Ravenhill or Windsor park before kick off.
I have patches of crabgrass that grow much faster than my regular lawn. I have pulled them out and some I have used hot water to kill them. The problem I have now is that the grass has patches. I cannot get any soil and sand to top-dress so I am going to scarify it and put some fertilizer and lawn feed down.
Thanks Robbie, Excellent tips for those of us interested in trying to keep our gardens in good trim. You took plenty of time to explain things to us which is much appreciated. I am looking forward to seeing all your other videos. Good luck and continuing success to you.
Hi Liam, thanks for watching. If there are any questions you would like answered fire away. I try and use future videos to answer peoples questions. Have a great weekend
Thatch is lots of things, its living, its roots, its organic matter, even once you cut your lawn not all the grass makes it to the grass box some of it goes into that layer
Hi Robbie, I'm a new subscriber, thank you for this video. I took an executive decision and bought the Hyundai scarifier/aerator and tried it out today. Going by your video I set a depth and tried it out and I would say around the same amount of thatch as your video was taken out. My only thing is that it didn't take all the moss aswell. Infact in some parts it missed the moss, but I didn't cut the grass first though, I assume your going to say go a little deeper? My lawn is a mess to look at , at the moment, but I assume if you do suggest going deeper it doesn't matter going over again ? We have to learn some time and we learn by our mistakes. Let me know if taking the height deeper is OK and going over it again is OK aswell. Thanks in advance an excellent video. kind regards Danny uk.
Hey Danny, welcome to the channel. It's always hard giving advice via text. By the sounds of it you took plenty out. What I would say is, you can always do it again in the Autumn now you have the kit there. It's quite late in the season now for renovations, this is my last week of them myself...
Hi Robbie, loving the videos 👍I have a heavily moss infested lawn and after scarifying 1m2 I was left with most bare soil. I plan to add 1/4” of topsoil and seed to bring it back. With proper watering could this done before August/September I.e. in the next couple of weeks. I’m in the south west of Ireland so I’m not expecting a drought anytime soon 😃
One last question which I’m not 100% on from your videos. Can you overseed extreme bare patches immediately after using ferrous sulphate? Was planning o. Using Evergreen 4&1 but you can’t over for 8 weeks with that stuff
A great video. I live on the top of a hill with heavy clay soil and I have a reasonably large lawn 12x24 meters so a few questions. Do you sell scarifies, how often should you scarify, once, twice, three times a year: my lawn has never been scarified and is choked with thatch and moss
Hi, primierlawns Rob, I'm watching from the US in the transition zone, we normally have cool seasons grasses such as rye grass, bluegrass, fescue. What type of grasses do you commonly work on? I have been watching the you- tube lawn care personalities in the US for a while, and they all say that the UK/Scottish/Irish lawns are the most beautiful they have ever seen. I am interested to know what products and processes you guys use and do that we don't. Getting my lawn to service the 90 to 100 degree weather in the summer is my biggest challenge. I will be watching and looking for tips to take my lawn to the next level.
Hi Emile and welcome to the channel, in the UK we have lots of ryegrass lawns, these are good hard wearing and take lots of abuse We also have fescue, bents and meadow grass. Thanks for watching, any questions ask away 😁
Hi and thank you for your videos. I have a scarifier which has wire tines rather than your blades and probably use it too close to the ground so I will raise it this year on my new lawn. However I have always just gone over the scarified lawn with my lawn mover to collect it all up. Is this advisable or should I invest in a rake like yours (the one on the link is not available btw). Also my lawn was turf laid last May and has not weathered well this winter should I still scarify this spring please?
I wish you had re-examined the plug you pulled at 3:00. I'd really like to have seen the cross section results of scarifying instead of just the piles of thatch you raked up.
I would really like some help and advice about my grass please. It’s on heavy clay it’s water log all winter and huge cracks and so dry in summer it’s horrible
Great Video :-) My lawn is probably about 70% Grass and the rest moss and weeds. Do you think Scaryfying and reseeding is the way to go to rescue it. I have held off as we had a dog but she is gone now, so i can do what i want to it :-) It is about 70ft long and 40ft wide
Great video - thank you! I've got a fairly uneven lawn and most of the grass has died (due to my over enthusiasm for glyphosate weedkillers last year...) so I need to re-seed it. Should I use a lawn roller to make it as flat as possible before scarifying, or does it not really matter?
Can you explain what is the difference between aeration and scarifier? The same for scarifier vs detacher. I see the scarifier is doing similar job of a dethatcher, so I guess it can be omitted.
Hi Anibal Dethatching and scarification are the same thing. To explain the difference between scarification and aeration this video should be helpful ua-cam.com/video/5nH2HXo77Ws/v-deo.html
Thanks for sharing these great tips and explaining why you do something. Can I ask please for newly seeded areas how long after germination do I need to wait before spraying the seaweed fertiliser again
@@Premier_lawns_official Many thanks for that. Started following your channel really helpful and appreciate you taking the time to make the vlogs. It would be good if you have any to see the transformation on a really bad lawn. Keep safe and best wishes for the future
Good videos I follow Ryan in the states also but find that at home in Scotland the equipment isn’t available. Places like HSS hire do have some landscaping equipment but it’s not cost effective. Have to do most by primitive hand method of raking and core aeration
Can you do something on lawns on clay soil please? Mine is v.wet in the winter and has bare patches and weeds and moss. The ground is nothing like yours. Can you suggest how to get it thick and consistent please?
My questions are often should you use the soluble iron and the seaweed fertilizer, I have serrified my back garden, and reseeded it and applying the top dressing over the top 2-weeks ago, in a few weeks time it will be 3 to inches long, my garden was a complete mess full of thatch and Moss, so I heavily scarified it being that there was not much grass there to start again. So once the grass seeds are established how often should I use iron sulphate and seaweed...
What about ye, Robbie. Have you seen or used a roller that hooks onto a wheeled rotary mower? Are they any good? When would a heavy manual roller be used? Btw. Great wee channel 👍
How long is a ball of string? I have no idea of your cutting heights or how strong the lawn is, the tools you will be using. Lots of unknowns. Start high, take you time and take out as much as you feel comfortable with.
Hi Robbie ! Just came across your video as I've been googling lawn care lots recently ! My rear lawn is fairly shaded even in summer. I've been airiating it and have treated with iron sulphate to kill off the moss, of which there is...LOTS, so scarify next and then re-seed ? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

love your videos - straight to the point and very imformative
Thanks JC :)
You have such a good scarifier..mine is electric, still very good however, yours looks far more efficient and effective
Cool, thanks
This is great, hope my wife learns how to scarify properly this time.😀
You had better make sure she doesn't see this or you will have to sleep with one eye open 😜

Great video. Thank you, love the tall rake, makes so much sense. Is it possible to scarify and eliminate moss without treating the moss separately? Thanks
If you don't treat the moss after you scarify you risk spreading the spores all over the lawn

Hi Paul
In that case you are probably best contacting the manufacture for further info.
Love the video's keep them coming, I would love to see the lawns you renovate a couple weeks after your renovations, sort of like a before and after.
It's not always easy for me to do, we go do the work then off to the next one. We aren't back until the next treatment
Brilliant video. I learned a lot from this.

Hi Robbie, I am planning to do scarifying on my lawn when the spring comes. After scarifying should I apply spring lawn fertilizer?
I think you already know the answer to that 😉

This has explained so much, so thatch isn't just dead grass, its cut grass that's rooted?
Thatch is lots of things, its living, its roots, its organic matter, even once you cut your lawn not all the grass makes it to the grass box some of it goes into that layer

Your best vid yet.... V informative....the liquid seaweed is too expensive from amazon.....just go to their website directly where its much cheaper
Can you use a riding lawn mower with mulching blades to clean up all that grass clipping after using the scarily?
Yes 👍
This is a really helpful video. What do you do with the thatch once you have scarfied? Do you take to tip?
Yes it the compost heap 👍
If you have lots of thatch is it better to round up reseed start again? Lawn had overgrown for years.
Sean great question. In certain cases yes it can work better to strip off the turf and start again

Just about to scarify the lawn anything you’d recommend throwing down once finished? Cheers 🙌🏻
Drop of iron, links to the products I recommend in the video description 👍
My questions are often should you use the soluble iron and the seaweed fertilizer, I have serrified my back garden, and reseeded it and applying the top dressing over the top 2-weeks ago, in a few weeks time it will be 3 to inches long, my garden was a complete mess full of thatch and Moss, so I heavily scarified it being that there was not much grass there to start again.
So once the grass seeds are established how often should I use iron sulphate and seaweed...
Is it best to fertilizer a lawn after aerating/scarifier or put grass seed down first then fertilizer?
Put the fertiliser on last 👍
great video. thanks for sharing
Hey Matt thanks for stopping by
What do you do with your scarified waste. Do you compost it? Do you recommend composting it if it has moss in it?
We recylce ours
Great video as every Robbie
Thanks, hope you have a fantastic weekend 😁
What about ye, Robbie. Have you seen or used a roller that hooks onto a wheeled rotary mower? Are they any good? When would a heavy manual roller be used? Btw. Great wee channel 👍
Never use a heavy roller. They cause to much compaction
Hi ya love all your videos but with this one you don't say when is the best time to scarify I live in Birmingham UK cheers. x
September is a great month 👍
I have a fine fescue lawn that is 2 years old. Should I scarify it and if so what is a good blade depth to start with on a machine?
How long is a ball of string?
I have no idea of your cutting heights or how strong the lawn is, the tools you will be using. Lots of unknowns. Start high, take you time and take out as much as you feel comfortable with.
Thanks man! Great info

Thanks
Hi Robbie ! Just came across your video as I've been googling lawn care lots recently ! My rear lawn is fairly shaded even in summer. I've been airiating it and have treated with iron sulphate to kill off the moss, of which there is...LOTS, so scarify next and then re-seed ? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Keep watching the videos, all your answers are on the channel ;)
