fly hawk was darn impressive for the price, would like to see them make a wider rake with perhaps a beefier connection point at the head with bigger bolts and some locknut washers. great vid dude
Love the review video. You did an amazing job being extremely detailed about what you liked and didn’t like about each one. My favorite lawn leveling video is 7 Mistakes beginners make when LEVELING their LAWN by Princess Cut Lawn Care. Thanks for taking the time to make this video!
Great video! I’m currently in the process of moving. New place has 3 years old sodded Bermuda. Definitely needs a level. The lawn tools sand leveling videos are fantastic. Can’t wait!
Great video Chuck, excellent overview of the features. I have watched several, but my favorite would probably from Ryan Knorr. Love the prayer at the end bro, God Bless! 🙏
Great video. This is my favorite video. I've only seen the more commercial brand and can appreciate the more affordable options. Nice touch with the ending to the video with the prayer. God bless.
Thanks for the info Chuck. I’ve got this project coming up here in about a month. I appreciate all you do! Thanks for living your faith out loud. Ryan Knorr is my guy as a fellow Iowan. He has a lot of great info especially when it comes to lawn leveling and reel mowing.
I’ve watched 3 videos ….. this was the best one, or my favorite! My dog has destroyed my yard with his digging and I think I can level the area myself now after this! God bless !
great video Chuck! i've seen a lot of great leveling videos. One that stands out in my mind is from princess cut lawn care. 7 mistakes beginners make when leveling a lawn.
That big Rocklin would be best for filling wide depressions,, which makes it my favorite.. Conor Ward & the lawn tool guys had good videos & Allyn Hane & Ryan Knorr too. But my favorites are by Turf Mechanic, Brian goes into just enough detail & explains all the issues involved with leveling, and why incremental corrections might be your best approach. I appreciate your prayers 🙏 and also pray for your family and you. Thanks Chuck!
Ron Henry has a lot of great lawn leveling videos, and he does a variety of materials to see the difference based off top soil vs sand vs etc. Great video and keep up the good work and thanks for the info. Never heard of the Rocklin Industry before so thanks for reviewing that. Would be a good one to consider because I have to level just over a half acre this fall.
Awesome video chuck! great flow with the video and I appreciate the honest review! keep it up man! My favorite video is (I tested the top 3 lawn leveling rakes on amazon) by Dadding all day.😜
Great video. Thanks for the review and comparison. And for your videos, they are very helpful. My favorite lawn leveling video is by Ron Henry: "LEVELING a BUMPY LAWN with SOIL and SAND". It is short, to the point, and helpful.
Awesome video chuck! Dont enter me. The big one would be too heavy and the loose handle would make me cuss. But wanted to say great job and I'm going to share this with some friends.
Not sure if you’re still doing the giveaway, but I just moved into my first house and have been binge watching yard videos as I never had a yard to take care of before. The main leveling videos and all around videos I’ve been watching would be on the princess cut lawn care channel!
Leveling a bumpy lawn the easy way by Silver Cymbal is probably my favorite because he’s right to the point and he lives in the same region as I do so I feel like I could get similar results. My lawn has some wider low spots, did you feel like the smaller heads had a harder time leveling across the wider area? I feel like wider would be better especially in my situation where leveling has never been done but I’m about a year into really putting some focus into the lawn.
I do enjoy any of the lawn leveling videos that Connor Ward does. He takes lawn leveling to another level. As far as the tools you reviewed, I'd consider bolting three of the Flyhawk heads together to create a 51" version for the price of the 30" Rocklin. Plus you have two extra handles. Thanks for the information, Chuck!
Do you re-watch Connor's videos? No... just me... LOL. Flyhawk makes a larger leveling plate, but it's more expensive, though not as much as the Rocklin. The Flyhawk was also significantly heavier than the Rocklin, so I wonder if it would be too heavy and tear up the lawn? I do like your line of thinking though! Thanks for watching!
No. That will smother the grass. In that situation you will need to do it little by little. Fill the depression an inch, let the bermuda adapt. Then repeat.
Glad to know. Saw neighbors using sand and it just sits on top. We all use bermuda. I am using a triple mix of sand, peat moss and organic hummus. Our lawns sit on clay. Hope it creates a good base for the new seeds😊
I like Connor's drag for large areas, but I think most of us would fall into the smaller lawn. Knorr or Silver Cymbal have some good videos. I tend to use lessons learned from all the creators I watch.
One of the main factors on lawn leveling tool is the weight. So obviously the bigger head means heavier weight. Should be comparing tools with similar head dimensions.
You're right, 100. I was thinking along the lines of a average shopper. "This one is cheaper, but smaller, surely I don't need the big one." However, yes the weight makes a big difference. Thanks for watching
Either your handles too short or you're pushing it with the handle up too high, I found out a 7-ft handle works fine, and position the handle at lower position like knee height and that should work much better.
@@craftman5632 I'm going to try it again after cutting my grass tomorrow. The handle is pretty long. I tried going low and it wouldn't slide and when I pull it back, it flips
I'm sorry. Of all the things to not like about the video... LOL. The question is, did you find the answers you were looking for when you clicked on the thumbnail?
Mopping your grass no thanks. If the contractor/builder graded properly and did a proper job to begin with shouldn't be an issue. I do understand over time things change however good way to have a very expensive hospital bill. Other priorities in life 😉
I absolutely get this! Unfortunately, the contractor did a terrible job while building this phase of the subdivision, and was fired. It's a lot of work to correct something that should've been done right at the start.
Thank you for watching! Please take a moment to like this video and subscribe. Please send any prayer requests to daddingallday19@gmail.com.
Rocklin: sturdy & expect it to last longer. Handle appears to be long enough to reach out & provide better view of leveling process
@@stevemiddleton8741 Absolutely right!
You talked about using the leveling mix.... while pointing at the compost bag.
Yours is concise and personal so it's number 1 and expressing your faith is a blessing to me and others. What a cool dude.
Thank you! That means a lot!
I have been using the Rocklin 48” rake for a few years. It’s a great rake and helped immensely when I renovated to KBG. Nice work Chuck.
Thank you sir! The Rocklin is fantastic.

They do make a larger one, but the price reflects it. LOL! Thank you bud!

Ryan always knocks it out of the park!
Dude, this video was awesome. Such a well done compare and contrast. 👍👍 appreciate ya dropping my link in there!
You made a great DIY video! I appreciate you watching and thank you for stopping by.
Great video. This is my favorite video. I've only seen the more commercial brand and can appreciate the more affordable options. Nice touch with the ending to the video with the prayer. God bless.
The cheaper ones aren't all that bad. The build quality is superior on the Rocklin, but the the other two work really well.
Thanks for the info Chuck. I’ve got this project coming up here in about a month. I appreciate all you do! Thanks for living your faith out loud.
Ryan Knorr is my guy as a fellow Iowan. He has a lot of great info especially when it comes to lawn leveling and reel mowing.
Good luck with your leveling project! Ryan's videos are always top notch!
My favorite leveling video is Connor Ward. He goes crazy with the homemade leveler. Great info Chuck. 🙏
Thank you sir. Connor's leveling videos are next level!
This is my favorite video. Simple, clear, honest.
Amen brother!
That's awesome! Thank you so much.

They are all great choices. Thank you for watching!
Great comparison Chuck! I have the R&R so I have no need for another lawn level. Good luck to those entering! 👍🏼
Do you like the R&R? I looked at them at GIE and almost bought one on the spot.
@@DaddingAllDay I love it. Zero complaints so far. I haven't used it a ton as of yet but it works great.

Those are usually the best! Short and sweet.
Ryan knorr was the first one i saw do this, i haven't done this but maybe one day i have some crap areas I would love to use this tool on.
Ryan is awesome with his leveling projects!
Great test. I like Princess cut lawn care he has a couple good leveling videos. I like the flyhawk leveler as well
He's got so much amazing content! Thank you for watching!
Love the new video and I love your channel! Thanks for the great content!

One leveling video that I liked is by Turf Mechanic it is called "I Made LOTS of Lawn Leveling Mistakes That YOU Can Learn From"
That is a really good one!
Ron Henry has some nice leveling/smoothing videos.
That he does! Thanks for watching.
can you completely cover Bermuda grass with the leveling sand? I have some depressions that are about 4 in deep
No. That will smother the grass. In that situation you will need to do it little by little. Fill the depression an inch, let the bermuda adapt. Then repeat.

Great review
Thank you!
I use that cheap one and it gets it done ✅
That's how I'm feeling about it. It's cheap, and works.
Proud of you brother
Thanks buddy! I hope you are doing well!
Favorite leveling video: Yardbrah
Yardbrah is awesome!
My favorite lawn leveling rake video is by Princes Cut Lawn Care
He's got some good ones for sure!
Ron Henry's lawn leveling and dressing video
Amazon has a 30 by 10, all heavy duty steel, for $40.
That will probably work well.
I dont know what I'm doing wrong but everytime I try to move mine back and forward, it won't slide, then it keeps flipping
How long is the grass? That would be the first thing I would look at.
@@DaddingAllDay I cut it real short before throwing a mixture of sand and soil down
Either your handles too short or you're pushing it with the handle up too high, I found out a 7-ft handle works fine, and position the handle at lower position like knee height and that should work much better.
@@craftman5632 I'm going to try it again after cutting my grass tomorrow. The handle is pretty long. I tried going low and it wouldn't slide and when I pull it back, it flips
@@l9ikjam some people add weights on it so it won't flip, like a brick on each side or try pushing the soil lightly while you're dragging The rake.
First and only Striperman
The landzie one gets a lot of shit, but I have one and it works great for me
I haven't used it. I have heard both good and bad things about it. As long as it works for you, that's all that matter.
If chuck could chuck wood, how many wood can a chuck chuck
I can Chuck a lot of wood! LOL
Hey two for 35… bolt them together… now you’ve got a wide rake.
That is very true!!
Video starts at 4:00. You're welcome
Thank you. They can also use the chapters in the description
Technically it begins at 1:45 when I talk about the prices of the tools, but to each their own.
I can't understand why they're so expensive 🙄
They are pricey and you don't need them all the time.
I wish people wouldn’t play music during their info videos 🤦♂️
I'm sorry. Of all the things to not like about the video... LOL. The question is, did you find the answers you were looking for when you clicked on the thumbnail?
The $80
Mopping your grass no thanks. If the contractor/builder graded properly and did a proper job to begin with shouldn't be an issue. I do understand over time things change however good way to have a very expensive hospital bill. Other priorities in life 😉

Your reason is why I'm here. My grass is patchy and bumpy from the initial. I grew up in an apartment, so I didn't understand how sod works😂😂😂😂
There is so much manipulation in this video it’s comical
How so?
