SAND LEVELING for a FLAT LAWN with the BIG DRAG
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- We did it! We brought Left Tool's lawn from start to finish with Tahoma 31 sod in the spring and made his lawn flat with sand. His bermuda lawn has completely recovered from the sand leveling now and looks great! I am a bit jealous of his Tahoma 31 bermudagrass.
We busted out the leveling drag for this project. Sand leveling can be a huge task but the right sand leveling tools can make it much more efficient. The Toro Titan helped with the sand leveling project a TON. I had never used a zero turn mower for this before but it made a big difference as the turns could be much tighter. People with smaller lawns take note! Small lawns can use a sand leveling drag too!

To answer everyones question. Was left with about 5 yards of sand in the end. we moved it over to Right Tools lawn for an upcoming project by Sweek Oak Hollow
Adding sand traps to the mini golf course? 🙃
Sand leveling is immensely satisfying to watch. I've seen an inappropriate amount of leveling vids on the Tubes. It's an addiction... 😅🤣
Same 😂
Looks mint. It's always crazy how scary it looks when the sand goes down and then how it great it looks when it bounces right back.
Lawn Driven
For sure! I always worry about it at least a tiny bit 😂
Your videos are a breath of fresh air in today's environment. Really appreciate the humor/realness that you guys include. Well done!
Chris Arnett
Thanks for saying that!
Looks great! Always enjoy seeing the results from sand leveling, especially with bermuda since it recovers so fast!
“Did you not watch our last video?” 🤣🤣 I did see a 🚜 dump the extra sand in a Right Tool’s yard in a recent vid
Richard Nettles
And that’s why you are called a super fan
I’ll be doing this to some sod I installed for a client of ours soon on my channel. Works great for sod installs. A mix of mushroom compost, sand and potting mix. Sprayed with humic and sea kelp
Left Tool slacking on the updates.... 😂
Jason G
For sure!
The Tahoma-31 is some beautiful grass. Very tight and thick look! Love it!
Jonathan Brothers
For sure!

I love these videos of leveling a level yard. Finished product looks amazing!

Yessirrrrr!
That lawn is looking great Left Tool.
Looks great! End result is what matters.
Wow! The lawn looks awesome after the sand! I'm going back and forth on whether I should use sand or topsoil.
Lakehouse Lawn Care
Sand!
@@TheLawnTools Say no more. Sand it is.
Turned out looking great! 👍🏻

Yea I’m jealous of his Tahoma 31! -right tool
Left Tools yard is looking sweet !!!
Richard Harwell
Yea he is doing pretty well! Thanks!
He's like f*ck it. I'm gonna do it with a zero turn.
Damn... Y'all LOVE sand.
jasonarp
Haha indeed
Dude the Tohoma looks fricken sick! This heat is kicking my Tifways ass. Cheers dude
IMOWLOW
Well... we are probably a few degrees cooler than you up here 😁. Your grass stays green longer in the fall and comes back earlier in the spring. It’s a trade off
Awesome results
kenny cooper
For sure!
LOOKS AMAZING! WOW
Grace Ortiz
😁👍🏼
A neighbor asked a tree guy for wood chips. She wasn’t home when he dropped it off. She did her yard. Her swings were only about 3” from the ground.
Then I did my yard and so did a couple other neighbors.
Looks freaking amazing! Great job guys! You have a great looking yard left tool!
Meister of My Lawn
Thanks! 😁👍🏼
Thanks it's a great video and a magnífic work, i Will use sand! Gracias! 😸
I just just loved the video......love from Toronto
🥰
That terrible segway was AWESOME!! LOL!
Jonathan Brothers
First person to appreciate that! You win!! 😂
@@TheLawnTools Do I win one of those cool just mow it t-shirts? 😃
Jonathan Brothers
Jealous much? 😉
@@TheLawnTools Extremely! 😂
Hi from the UK. Epic video guys, love the editing 👍
The Country Cottage Gardener
Thank you from across the pond!
Nice Toro shirt.
Funny thing is I’m leveling my lawn today too.
Sam Clemons
Booya!
The Lawn Tools how long do you normally wait to mow after a top dressing?
Sam Clemons
Whenever the grass starts getting tall but usually with a rotary first and back to reel when the sand is pretty much completely gone
Even after the comment I'm still cracking up about" I dont know I just told them to bring me what they can "😂😂😂 a whole dump truck full then the neighbors be like 👀
Looking very nice!
B.J. Slizewski
Thanks! 😁👍🏼
Left tools lawn is looking pristine! I'm excited to soon be able to do this. But first I must kill the lawn and level with dirt. Hopefully by early next season I'll be using sand! Great video!
The Neighbor Dominator
You have a big project ahead of you then! But it will be worth it
@@TheLawnTools I am also wanting to kill of my lawn this spring and starting over. Should I use sand right away or level with dirt first and then sand the following season like The Neighbor Dominator mentioned?
@@hendrymuljadi739
This is totally just my opinion but I feel like sand is a necessity after sod to fill in the cracks etc so I prefer to do it after and just once instead of before AND after
I like that toro
Jonathan Litten
Love the Titan
Wow!!! Cool vid !
RolexDSSD
Thanks Rolex!
3:25. For some reason, that jagged mow along the property line is very bothersome.
You guys are The Sand Tool. 😀
The Lawn Guardian
Ha need to change the name
Did I miss the update on the "Bermuda Triangle" from a couple months ago?
Chad Cochran
I did update at one point. I have actually sand leveled it since then too. It’s looking awesome. You can see it in the mini golf video. It is the first tee. Scalped. You will see it next week 👍🏼
Who made your drag? What kind of sand did you use?
At least you had some willing little helpers. Looks good. What grass type?
I recently subscribed to your channel. I’m enjoying the content and videos! What camera do you use? The picture quality is great!
A GoPro hero 8
My back aches watching this.
Australian Lawn Fanatics
Level with the legs, not the back
The Lawn Tools level with a machine 😂.
Wow! That lawn came out awesome! Great Work Tools! So what did you do with all the extra sand? Just put it in the backyard where it meets the edge of no grass? As usual this was a very funny vid, Good ole Left Tool not paying attention once again! LOL Peace and God's Love! Chad Upstate NY
I don't understand why the yard was leveled to begin with. Wasn't it leveled when the house was built? The leveling sand doesn't look like it was doing much. Like the yard is already level.
I also don't understand why the yard is so incredibly tiny. Even if the lawn isn't flat it's so small how would you notice? It's not like you're getting up to 7 mph limit of the mower shown, if they cut with that.
So what was the point of this?
Looks really good maybe next season I'll do some leveling on my 2020 renovation I got a few low spots that developed and once they take the tree out and I plant some more arden 15 I'll have to level that out to so if you want to get rid of some of that sand lol jk I seen the whole video and yard looks amazing and another great video from you guys.
RaulSachsCarrillo
Haha we always find places to use more sand so it was a happy accident
Not first, love the videos!
James Bartley
Glad you love them 😁
Lawn looked great after. Not sure if I missed it but where the extra sand? 😝
Lawn Journeys
In the pile in my back yard 😁. You can see it being moved in the first mini golf video 😂
Where did he get the tahoma? Almost make me switch from cool season. Keep us updated with how long it stays green in the fall
River view sod ranch Tulsa Oklahoma. Great guys. It’s gorgeous
Can I sand level along with over seeding, or should I treat them separately ?
Cristian Sanchez
I think Brett Goodyear did that but I’m a bermuda guy. I don’t know anything about overseeding.
@@TheLawnTools Thanks man, I'll check out his video.
Lawn looks amazing !!!! You guys are awesome and I love seeing before and after a in the same video. Great video. Oh.....and where can I buy that Toro shirt ? I can’t find any like that online. Jake has a similar one on in his last video too.
Scott O'Hare
We are getting these shirts from the toro rep. They have a link to their 4imprints store on their website but I don’t know if it’s on there or not 😬. I’m not sure why they don’t have an easily accessible merch store. Lots of people would want to buy stuff. 🤷🏼♂️
Looks awesome! Where are you guys located? Know of any company that does this in the Memphis, Tennessee area?
What type of sand is that, and why not soil...
How much was 18 tons?
yes, it's fun to watch, and so #$%&* pain to do :D
How do i over seed a lawn that i leveled with sand? how do i get seed to soil contact?
Man your grass is like a dream! What grass is this and how do you maintenance this to keep it clean like this
SmackinBass
This is Tahoma 31 bermuda. We mow with greens mowers (got them from golf courses). There is probably too much to tell for the “how do you do it” question but the whole UA-cam channel is full of tips and tutorials 👍🏼
The Lawn Tools yes sir! I just found your channel. I bought a house last year and the lawn is stickers and weeds front and back and I have tried a lot to kill and plant seeds but for 2.5acres it’s to much to try everything just to see what works
SmackinBass
Oh for sure. You will just need to pick 5k sq ft to start with and once you get that the way you want it, then start maintaining larger and larger areas
What do y'all do with all that sand??!!!!
Lawn looks great!
Bermuda Brian
Put it in my (right tool) back yard for future use
Did you leave all the grass tips exposed or was it covered and still grew without sunlight?
A to Z Softwash
There were certainly places that were completely covered. I would say most was completely covered. When we did mine, pretty much everything was covered. No problems
Hey guys - quick question.........what about the 4" or so from sidewalk/driveway in toward the yard? Cool to just go heavier with sand on those runs? Trying to eliminate the "bump"? Make sense?
If 4” I would probably do dirt and then fine tune it with sand when the grass has filled back in.
@@TheLawnTools let me be more clear........depth is about 3/4' but is about 4" wide (in toward the yard). Thinking sand would be fine.
By the way - mug and t-shirt ordered! And, yeah, I'm one of those guys - TRIM/MOW/EDGE/BLOW. Here's my rationale: Trim first to make my border. Mow....yeah. Edge to square off and clean up the stripes at the end of each pass. Blow to get all scrap out of the edge. In North Dallas and scalping this weekend!
@@GTNTHR ohhhh 3/4”. Absolutely do sand 👍🏼👍🏼. Awesome! Well I guess there are a few of you out there 😂 j/k
Can sand be placed in just one area of a back yard where rain water or irrigation water tends to accumulate?
Ronald Clowson
Sure thing! Just want to make sure you have some dry weather just in case you get a downpour. It could wash out and take you back to square 1
Holy cow where can I get a pull behind leveler like that? I need one!
Nick Spradley
That is a custom build
ua-cam.com/video/g6Aw6XYg5iM/v-deo.html
Any tips on how to grade the lawn away from the house instead of just pure level?
Robert Caldwell
Dirt work. Stinks that your builder didn’t do that. That’s like the number one rule of new home dirt work. That would be a huge overhaul
@@TheLawnTools The house is over 30 years old and the previous owners didn't take good care of the lawn. I just bought it last year and my next project is to fix the lawn and possibly put in irrigation. Didn't know if there were any good tips, other than to just packing dirt up against the foundation. Thanks though.
Robert Caldwell
Yea I can’t think of any other quick fixes. French drain/yard drain, bring in dirt for up against the house or dig out dirt further away from the house.
When did you do this leveling?
When is the best time of year to do this?? Im new to all this lawn care stuff.
Daniel Castillo
Whenever your grass is growing the best. So for cool season grasses - spring or fall. For warm season grasses - summer
do a video on how to tune a toro reel master
Brenda Green
Might be tough. I don’t have one of those
Sorry I meant Green’s master
Brenda Green 😁👍🏼
How far back is the level or from the zero turn? Length of chain?
Tim M
I don’t have an exact measurement for you. 5-6 ft maybe?
Franky🤑🤑🤑
Did you use all the sand? 🤔🤔🤔
Toney Tilhoo
Nope. About half
What is the thing called that you dragged across the grass to level it?
A leveling drag
Any growing tiftuff is it any good
mungrul smith
I’ve never tried it but people that have it seem to love it
The Lawn Tools I’m in Australia when don’t have some off your varieties off grass (sod)
mungrul smith
Ah gotcha
Too late in the year to sand level Bermuda in NE Oklahoma?
Beat Down Bermuda
Depends on how thick you do the sand. Probably too late to do it as thick as we did
The Lawn Tools THICCCCC lol I’ll keep it as my summer 2121 project
Hey dudes.. what else did you throw down to get that be-u-tiful lawn.. what's the magic potion? Amazing results.. my yard sux..tiftuff laid down late April this year.. I didnt listen to your comment about leveling and done only deep spots for now.. ankle breakers.. you guys are awesome!!!
Btw. Showed my wife your leveling video and she thought right tool was Clark Kent!!! Lol!!!
thimitri1
I get that a lot cuz I wear glasses at work 😁 (right tool). We have thrown down so much stuff man. Mostly fertilizer. The Bermuda grass calendar video we did in the spring is the best place to start. I’ll post a link. Thanks for the compliments! 👍🏼👍🏼

Thanks brother yard man!!!
Where can I get the dimension dk’s for your leveler?
ua-cam.com/video/g6Aw6XYg5iM/v-deo.html
So how much sand was left over?
Camilo Ovalle
About half 😂. I have a much bigger pile in my back yard than I did before
How much sand per sq feet would you recommend? I need this done in my front and back yards. Let me know please...
Jerry Lopez
1 yard per 1,000 sq ft
Also, what kind of sand is suggested? Sorry I know I’m bugging... 😬
Jerry Lopez
Masonry sand
First Aussie 😁
Trevor Muggeridge 🏆
If there is no slow motion sand throwing is it even a leveling video?
Brett's Grasscapades
Absolutely not
The real question is who in their right mind would use sand in their lawn?!
Yea it turned out terrible
Will this work with a washboard yard?
razz2o46
Depends on what you mean by that but yes, if our definitions are the same
@@TheLawnTools previous owner used to have a garden that was shared by 2 other neighbors. 30X90 area that has highs and lows from garden rows. Been thinking about trying the sand leveling. The garden has not been there for more than 15 years, but the area is still like a washboard.
razz2o46 gotcha. Well as long as the difference between high and low isn’t more than a couple inches, it will work. May be getting a little close to fall for it to be this year though. Depends on your climate
Not first
Ole left tool🤣🤣🤣
