I think that all the time. Talking myself into making things better when I could be anything else. Why do I care about this? Then I remember I wanted this.
First 28 was dumped in place that you see, and the last 8 was hand shoveled into place with that gorilla cart. It was $4.50 a linear foot. Not horrible, I paid this for them from tho for stamped and colored in 2018… 🫣🫣🫣
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge about lawn renovation. I’m doing something similar and it feels overwhelming. My first question is, what kind of spray did you put on the old grass prior to mowing it down short? Also, can I simply omit the spray part and just go right over the top of the old lawn, after a heavy power thatching and scalping with my mower? My second question is, what type of rake was the first one you used - with the tines - to push and pull the topsoil around. I have the other one, like the Landzie that you used following. My third question is, is there a rule of thumb for the amount of topsoil - per 1000 square feet - to put over an existing lawn when performing a total renovation? For example, My entire lawn space is 22,000 square feet, and yesterday I ordered a full quad axle load of blended topsoil, which totaled 25 cubic yards. Will this be enough to put a thin overcoat of topsoil over 22,000 square feet of lawn, that is ready to accept seed? Thank you in advance for advance for your help. Matt
@@matthewvanselow1979 Not a problem - mixture of glyphosate and ornamec (a grass killer). If you don’t have any issues that need a spray out, yup, easily can keep old grass - Landscaping rake amzn.to/4g22cSR - For every .25” raised you need .77 cubic yards. You will want less then 1/2” of your keeping existing grass to be able to get the grass blades to stand up through it
I did it over 4 weeks, as I had to kill off Bermuda grass that takes time to get ahold of. Had I not have to deal with this I feel I could of done it in 2-3 days easily.
I love it when baby grass grows. So exciting.
Even after all the folks I’ve helped and done this.. I feel the same way every time!
Solid work!! I can’t wait to see how this lawn turns out!
You and me both my friend! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Big project! Looking forward to seeing it shine in the spring!
I ran out of fall / water, so spring will be needed to get the full pop for sure. Come May, it should be on point tho 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

😂😉
That was a whole lot of work in a little under 9 minutes.😂
I think if anybody follows these steps they can have a great lawn too.⛳️❤️
You’d hope, wouldn’t you? 😂
You would be surprised what I do in just two 😉
Great job there and Landzie for the win ‼️
Thanks my friend!
Awesome video brother! Can’t wait to see your end result.
It should be 🔥🔥🔥… I hope to
Wrap this up come November … 🫣🫣🫣
Man, you are a champ at this Jeremy. Very impressive!
Thx David! Much appreciated!
That was awesome!

I may have to do back lawn Reno next year. Getting some POV triv that’s driving me nuts
Did you do your fall preEmergent to block it?
Good job! Gonna turn out great! I like to use a drop spreader when dropping seed. Seems to get it right where I need it. Have a good one my friend!
How you doing my friend, it’s been a long time?
@TheGreenerLawn super busy trying to stay ahead of the game. Will get a break soon when lawn season is over.
@@woodnyardjunkie oof I feel ya tho
Why did you install the concrete curbs in your backyard? Is that so the kids can practice parallel parking with toy cars?
That or an ant racetrack? 😂
Of course, glad it was obvious 😂😂😂😂😂

Go Duke!!
My man! Lol, had my old hoodie on from 2003 🫣🫣🫣 thx for watching that far!!
Great video, lots of work. What song is in the background???!
Thanks!
It’s called Silence, but no artist is named. I took it off Story Blocks audio, a paid service. I think I can download it tho, for use.
Holy crap..you moved 36 yards of soil all by yourself by hand? Ironman. How much was the curbing per foot?

You really put a lot of work in to this didn’t you? How long did this take you?

Maker green
Always
First ?
Def first sir!
how established does new seed need to be to make it through winter?
2-3 mows or 3+ inches. Mows will thicken it up and length will thicken it up.
