You CAN'T Grow Grass In Sand...

  • I hear this statement a lot but sand can actually be a great thing. There's a reason why most greens on golf courses will be grown in sand for complete control and terrific playability. You just have to manage it a little differently than soil.

    You can grow bermuda in between slabs of concrete. If you have a a bermuda lawn, leveling with sand is just fine.

    Ryan please do a video on exposed tree roots in a lawn. Mine are now sticking up far enough that the mower hits them sometimes.

      Me too! What do we do about this?! I basically live in the woods, but I have like 8,000 square feet of lawn and two large maples in my front yard whose roots are exposed. I added a few inches of top soil last week and put down some seed. Now I’m hoping for the best.

      @@brandynboisseau7884 Unfortunately its either work around them, Build the soil up around them (you'll be dealing with an incline of soil so make sure its appropriately leveled), or cut the tree down and grind the stump.

      Dig around, pull up with a pickaxe as much as you can, use a reciprocating saw to cut

    I think the arguments of organic material all the way to sand really depend on the current state of the lawn vs where you want to be, as well as how short you intend to mow. The shorter = more sand. I am in the middle of my fist leveling and I'm using screened loam. Next year I'll re assess and either do more loam or a mix with additional sand. Full sand is for those who only need touch up leveling. Think of it like setting up the ground for pavers - Get your base down, and then_ screed with sand.

    I fill a pot with soil and one with sand and put some tall fescue seeds in both of them. The grass in the soil got tall enough to cut in 7 to 10 days. The grass in the sand to close to a month and a half before it was tall enough to cut

      Just gotta follow the herbicide label instructions. It’ll tell you application temps and also how new grass can be. I’d say it’s prob too early. There’s a general rule of thumb of wanting to have at least 2-3 full mows in before you apply stuff so you might be close though.
