I have been doing this on a low area for a good while but needed this reminder to not worry about how it looks and just do it. Thanks so much for this.
this was extremely helpful, thank you! I have always bailed on leveling projects because I fear "smothering" the grass, and I never put down enough sand. Seeing you do this with confidence that the grass will grow through the sand is all I need to do it right this time. Thanks again!
My neighbor practically buries his st Augustine with sand in the spring if we got severe freezes over the winter. I thought the same thing but he waits it out and it always ends up looking amazing. I have trees so mine doesn't usually freeze. Sort of insulates it.
Did a small leveling 2 seasons ago same exact way as this using my broom as well. I will add also if anyone wants to spice it up a bit and help your lawn at same time. Do a 70/30 or 80/20 mixture of Sand and whatever favorite soil with humic acid in it. I personally like Fox Farm Happy Frog soil but any should help as long as humic acid is present.
NOT THE MOLE!!!!!! That was my battle the 1st season!!! Allyn I used (Victor 0631 Out O'Sight Reusable Humane Mole Eliminator Trap and Killer ) Got him the 1st try with this trap! (added a little grass and soil to the top of the trap so the mole thinks it's still underground hiding the light) Good luck brother I hope you get him! Also lawn looks epic can't believe its already been 3 weeks since you scalped! 😊🔥🙏🏾🤙🏾
I live in Oklahoma and have a brand new lawn that was installed in December then temps fell to -13 with sustained winds making it colder and my lawn looks like crap. There’s whole lines of rolled out sod that is dead. They didn’t put down any topsoil so it’s laid out right on red clay. I put down urea and then it rained really good the same day. I don’t have an auto sprinkler system … so with all that said.. watching your channel will give me a nice lawn in a few weeks. .. I hope. ☺️ ..and it’s Bermuda grass with a lot of weeds and I can’t use weed killer on it because that will kill it… thanks for all the information which I am putting into motion already.
this was very helpful for a rookie--thanks! and your vids are stylish, too...fun to watch! Q: If I had to level my lawn and also aerate it, what's the ideal sequence for those two steps?
I am late to comment here but I always apply liquid fertilizer then level after 48 hours. It gives the grass the energy needed to push through the sand and minimizes the possibility of damage when you make a mistake and pile it on too thick. I spoon feed so for bad areas, I can get some leveling in once a week. Once the lawn is where I need, I continue my spoon feeding but begin using PGR once a month
Allyn, you obviously did this sand leveling at your Florida home which typically has a sandy soil so adding more sand to that soil is very much the same material. For LCNs like me who live farther north of you and have a clay soil is sand alone your recommendation for leveling or would you suggest a sand and top soil mixture or something else for this soil type? If you suggest a mixture, what percentage would you use (i.e., 50/50)?
Nice video, great content overall, but I had to comment on this since you did like a whole segment on it. Sand does not seek it's own level ( I feel like that was going to give people some very misguided ideas) and that is not why we use it as a medium for leveling your lawn. The reason is actually pretty simple, since sand is almost entirely inorganic, the sand you lay down today will more or less be the same 10 years from now since none if it will decompose or compact significantly. If you have something like potting soil or garden soil that has organic matter in it (like compost) you may see more settling over time as the organic parts break down or get consumed, or just compact further over time. Your lawn looks great by the way, I'm sure you are the envy of your neighborhood :)
SAME! This last fall into winter I have one, or more, that have torn my yard up! I applied grub ex and Merit to prevent them last year and you’d thought I added food for them?? What did you do to get rid of them? Thank you in advance
@@gerryhenning7337 Unfortunately, after trying just about everything under the sun to get rid of it, I used Tomcat mole killer. My entire lawn needed to be leveled. It was a disaster.
I have two acres and have been working to get rid of my low spots over the years. I take pictures after heavy rains of where the water collects. I've probably moved/added about 25 yards of dirt to get rid of most of the low spots. The minimum amount of dirt for delivery is 5 yards. For basic ruts and such I use some bagged top soil.
Low spots are easy. What about the small lumps say from a skunk that grass grew over. Tempted to take a rubber mallet to them. But no one talks about small bumps it seems. :(
I have a low spot that looks like it may need to be seeded. Do I do that first and then the sand or sand first. Also. Great video. I feel hopeful I will be able to get ride of low spot and water building up there.
Do you suggest sand for all grass and climate types? Would there ever be a scenario where one should use soil or som kind of soil/sand combination? Or is it just 100% sand every time? I live in a cool climate and wasn’t sure if sand would still be the best option
I live in west Texas. I have clay soil and celebration bermuda grass. I need to level my yard. I was told NOT to use sand as it mixes with the clay and gets even harder. Is that true ? What do you recommend I level with. Thank you GSM
Thanks for the great videos. I was taught sand is the worst leveler in Texas due to the.clay contrnt. Also, why air8 and not dove dishwashing liquid? Thank you!
A big birch tree was removed from my lawn 10 years ago. The lawn is grown back but there are big dips up to 8" deep over a 10 foot circle. What material is best to fill in these deeper areas and holes?
Question…I’m about to level my lawn..after I had a tree removed and stump grinded out…plus I have a few holes my dog made..so for those spots..fill the hole with sand first..then topsoil then seed so grass can grow there?
My problem is that I have bad low spots, but my yard is sloped, and it's 50,000 sq. ft. Sand will just end up running down the slope and probably creating a bigger bump where it gathers at some high point on the slope. What do you recommend for leveling on a slope? I know that "level" and "slope" seem diametrically opposed, but I'd like my slopes to be smooth, and not feel like washboards, so there has to be a good way to smooth the slopes. I actually thought about renting a roller like they use to flatten blacktop.
I have St Aug sod that was laid on river sand and its not growing. I have lots of spots that are 1' deep or more. Can I use Top Soil to level the lawn. Thanks.
So I like in Indiana and have no idea what kind of grass we have here but we have a lot of uneven spots some even look like holes so and there is actually no grass there anymore so my question is will the sand still fix this up and what do I do about the dead spots? Thanks again for the video.
I have a big hole in corner of my yard. When they were paving my street one of the asphalt trucks drove over corner of my lawn and left a big depression there. Should I just fill it entirely with sand, then top dress with peat moss and seed or how should I fix this corner?
Sand is a great idea and better than dirt since it doesn't compact hardly at all. I bought dirt once and the guy had mixed 40% horse manure into it and it compacted but did not smell. Felt cheated cuz all I wanted was to level a whole section
I'm moving into a new house and the lawn is pretty patchy on with the grass and I was going to overseed the lawn to fill out the lawn. My dilemma is I have several low spots a couple that are 5-6 inches low. Should I fill those spots with soil and then finish with sand to level the spots and then throw seed on top of sand or should I fill spots with dirt and throw seed and wait for a good growth before I level with sand?
I had one dig a 20’ trench right next to the driveway. As in a perfectly straight line. No mounds, just neatly diverted soil. I had to laugh. What really blew my mind were the crawdad tunnels I found a couple weeks ago. I never knew they could tunnel up through grass and gravel like that.
You're making excuses. All you had to do is shovel the snow of of the lawn, use your back to break up the frozen dirt, level the yard, and then put the snow back on the lawn.
What if I have a hole that’s about 6-8” deep, approx 12” diameter that my dog dug? Just fill it with sand, would that work? Then maybe top soil and seed?
So my yard was not done right they put Bermuda on top of clay. Could I do a sand soil mix? Not wanting to start over again (by ripping up the entire yard and backfilling with soil and lay new sod) Thanks y’all
Allyn, I desperately need some advice. I’m getting ready to completely transform my girlfriends Bermuda lawn this spring/summer and just before the growing season begins, her careless daughter keeps parking half on the lawn and half on the driveway causing relatively noticeable tire marks/ruts and I’m just steaming and pulling my hair out. What should I do to correct this? I was thinking about getting a lawn roller to smooth out the bumps and then fill the soil depression with sand and level. Is this a good idea? What would you do? And when would be a good time?
if the soil is mostly sand, then once the summer rains come it will even out again. Once it starts growing and you are pushing it with fert, you can bring in sand to level it off and speed things up. Just don't completely bury the turf - do it in waves.
Alan, I have an area that sunk down about 3 to 4 inches after a tree was removed a few years ago. would you recommend I still use sand for the 3-4” thanks
Question I have about seeding and fertilizing. I have Flagship Freedom Double dark Soil mastery I’m SE Pennsylvania and I want to over-seed, is there an issue with using any one of these products once the seed is in the ground? Do you recommend one over and other with new seed? Thanks, love your channel and products
throw down the FREEDOM on top of your new seed and water it all in. Then followup 30 days later with Flagship. Soil Mastery can go down 3 weeks after that
Top soil can contain weeds seeds, peat moss is cleaner but is light and airy and will bread down over time. Compost contains unknkown amounts of nitrogen and could leave you with dark green splotches. Sand is for leveling - all the rest of that stuff can be used to amend soil but that is a separate process and should be done over the whole lawn, not just in spots you are trying to level.
Looks like u need some tips from Ben of the Lawn tips for sand spreading. Dude just flings the material off the shovel an boom its like nearly level and smooth
I have low spots in my St Augustine lawn that are considerably deeper. Does the same method apply? My concern is burying the grass and killing it. Should I do multiple passes letting the grass blades brake through? Does it matter if the stolons are buried? Thanks!
He mentions doing it throughout the season a half inch or so at a time. So you aren't as likely to kill the grass by burying it under a substantial amount of sand. I am going to have to do that with my back yard myself.
Spring 2024… We meet again.
Appreciate the easy approach to leveling. I’m gonna give it a shot with the broom and let the water to the rest. Thanks for sharing!
I’m new to lawn care. This is gold. Fricking brilliant🤯
I have been doing this on a low area for a good while but needed this reminder to not worry about how it looks and just do it.
Thanks so much for this.
That is a great explanation for why sand is useful here. Thank you.

Just work that sand down into the canopy and you'll be fine.
Just the information I needed! Thanks so much. (from Bribie Island, Australia, where the climate is similar to that of Florida).
Did a small leveling 2 seasons ago same exact way as this using my broom as well. I will add also if anyone wants to spice it up a bit and help your lawn at same time.

Definitely look forward to a possible mole remedy video. One or several has/have destroyed my lawn.

Q: If I had to level my lawn and also aerate it, what's the ideal sequence for those two steps?
That was an amazing explanation of why you use sand to level lawn. I never thought about it that way. Thanks so very much!!

I recommend just sand. Clay will not hold top soil - it sheds it in just a few weeks.
that tends to be a problem w/ all these lawn (*and garden) tips. They don't always apply to specific grow zones and soil compositions.
looks great LCN

A mole wreaked havoc on my lawn a few years ago. The damage was extreme. Happened late fall into winter. Took months to get rid of it
SAME! This last fall into winter I have one, or more, that have torn my yard up! I applied grub ex and Merit to prevent them last year and you’d thought I added food for them?? What did you do to get rid of them? Thank you in advance
@@gerryhenning7337 Unfortunately, after trying just about everything under the sun to get rid of it, I used Tomcat mole killer. My entire lawn needed to be leveled. It was a disaster.
If you added mulch to your sand mixture it seem grass would exploit the new nutrients and increase growth quickly.🤷♂️
Ok not how do you fix high spots?
Hate moles. I have killed 4
Just stopped by to comment that I am big fan of arm wrestling and you look just like the GOAT John Brzenk. Often I get confused when you upload haha.
I hear that all the time!! 😂

😅
Would I need to do a soil test for new grass that was laid out?
I believe i did not hear what time of the year was this performed? Can you do in the fall (sept-oct) time frame? Im in texas
Thanks for spending time at the beach to give us content, it must have been horrible. /s
The worst 🤣
Thanks for the great videos. I was taught sand is the worst leveler in Texas due to the.clay contrnt. Also, why air8 and not dove dishwashing liquid?

Where r u in Tx? We r in west Tx, and we have caliche here, not clay. Sand works well for us when leveling and the grass doesn’t skip a beat. 👍
A big birch tree was removed from my lawn 10 years ago. The lawn is grown back but there are big dips up to 8" deep over a 10 foot circle. What material is best to fill in these deeper areas and holes?
do you have to scalp your zoysia first before leveling? I'm concerned about stressing it out when it's already stressed with our Florida heat.
Question…I’m about to level my lawn..after I had a tree removed and stump grinded out…plus I have a few holes my dog made..so for those spots..fill the hole with sand first..then topsoil then seed so grass can grow there?
How long do you wait to mow again when leveling in this manner?
I have a spot that collects water every time it rains. Do I need to wait for the water to dry up before putting the sand down?
Spraying n praying!! 😂😂Love that
My problem is that I have bad low spots, but my yard is sloped, and it's 50,000 sq. ft.

How about fixing deeper troughs in uneven lawn's in WI? Mix soil and sand?
I am in Michigan and have the same issue. May have a couple inches of low areas. ALso does seed need to be added if it is to much of a low spot ?
I'd use only soil that far north. I'm about the same latitude and I use soil successfully.
Quick question- should I just use sand or should I be mixing it with garden soil.
If I am to mix what should be the quantity …!!
Thanks in advance
I have a big hole in corner of my yard. When they were paving my street one of the asphalt trucks drove over corner of my lawn and left a big depression there. Should I just fill it entirely with sand, then top dress with peat moss and seed or how should I fix this corner?
Thank you! Extremely helpful!! ❤
I was about to purchase a load of top soil to fill in low spots. I live inland NC, where we do not have sandy soil. I should still use play sand?
What if my yard has small hills? Can I still use sand to level out the smaller holes or should I look to flatten the yard altogether?
Your looking great buddy. I will be leveling for the second time in the new backyard lawn area since all my madness is almost completed.
Can you mow with a rotary mower and sand.
Don’t you have to worry about the mower picking out the sand and re-dispersing it?
Hi Alan. Will sand work in the northeast where soil/loam is what lawns are built on?
Sand is a great idea and better than dirt since it doesn't compact hardly at all. I bought dirt once and the guy had mixed 40% horse manure into it and it compacted but did not smell. Felt cheated cuz all I wanted was to level a whole section
can i reseed before level with sand
I'm moving into a new house and the lawn is pretty patchy on with the grass and I was going to overseed the lawn to fill out the lawn.

Should I fill those spots with soil and then finish with sand to level the spots and then throw seed on top of sand or should I fill spots with dirt and throw seed and wait for a good growth before I level with sand?
Seems sand would be great in the final stage?
With undulations you have more to do?
Hey Al, can I follow the same process for cool season turf? Assume yes but wanted to be sure.
Not the scalping part but for sure feathering in sand, all good!
@@TheLawnCareNut yes sorry I was referring to the sand leveling. My KBG would hate me if I tried to scalp it. Thanks AL
Good pace
When do u level spring summer or fall .in GA
Whoa, that was easy enough Mr. Hane.
What about bar spots, will grass seeds grow through sand or top soils???
2:25 what about the sand clay mix? Like the 20% clay.
Hi there. Do you have a Calendar for maintenance schedules of products to use in Florida?
Hello. I'm from Canada. It's almost September. Do you think it's still ok to level or should I wait for next season? TIA!
I always know when I have a mole because there are mounds, how were there no mounds in your yard?
I had one dig a 20’ trench right next to the driveway. As in a perfectly straight line. No mounds, just neatly diverted soil. I had to laugh. What really blew my mind were the crawdad tunnels I found a couple weeks ago. I never knew they could tunnel up through grass and gravel like that.
I would love to do this, but the foot of snow we got yesterday prevents me from even seeing my lawn :)
Ha ha. Right. Massachusetts, here.
You're making excuses. All you had to do is shovel the snow of of the lawn, use your back to break up the frozen dirt, level the yard, and then put the snow back on the lawn.

Where can you rent the EcoLawn Top Dressing Machines? That is an awesome machine!
Does this leveling work for Chicago lawns also?? The sand part
yes it sure does. You don't scalp your lawn though - but you can and should still use sand and feather it into the low spots.
Good info 👍🏽

Where I can Rent that leveling machine here in central Florida? I has been looking for, appreciated sir.
Does this method works if my lawn is on a small incline?
Will masonry sand be ok
I’m gonna use a power washer to knock down my high spots and sand for the low spots!
When are those Bahia videos coming out? Hoping to follow along before we head back North
You need lawntips back over there to show you the Simms sand level flick 😂 he does it so well great coverage with the flick👍😂
he is the master!
I’m dealing with the same problem with my zoysia in Swfl right now!
Jeez what a timely video for me personally lol.
I try!
what about leveling for east cost (MARVA)? I would assume top soil not sand?
Won’t dirt also level itself if u add enough water?
What if you have parts of your yard that dip way deeper?
Anybody have any extensive experience using the Eco top dresser? I have been considering getting one...

thanks!
hope you update on the mole, I've got a family tearing my backyard up
TOMCAT Mole killer worms. We recently got of our mole with it after weeks and hundreds of dollars trying every mole product known to man.
Question I have about seeding and fertilizing.
I have
Flagship
Freedom
Double dark
Soil mastery
I’m SE Pennsylvania and I want to over-seed, is there an issue with using any one of these products once the seed is in the ground? Do you recommend one over and other with new seed?
Thanks, love your channel and products
throw down the FREEDOM on top of your new seed and water it all in. Then followup 30 days later with Flagship. Soil Mastery can go down 3 weeks after that
Is sand really what us cool season lawn folks should be using too? Maybe add in a bit of good topsoil or peat moss? Or compost?
Top soil can contain weeds seeds, peat moss is cleaner but is light and airy and will bread down over time. Compost contains unknkown amounts of nitrogen and could leave you with dark green splotches. Sand is for leveling - all the rest of that stuff can be used to amend soil but that is a separate process and should be done over the whole lawn, not just in spots you are trying to level.
can we use this same method for St Augustine? What about stoloms?
here is how I do it in St Augustine ua-cam.com/video/NleJWDAfZ3k/v-deo.html
LCN i need to do that in my backyard mole problem but I got him
Going to the beach to teach is next level sh!t big bruh.
what about sandy loam?
Does that work up here in north. Pa
Where can you rent that topdresser in Miami? I havent found one
