by far the most useful video I have found here regarding laying a new garden and the length of the video did not need to be a second longer. Thank you for uploading this video and providing great advice.
Good video , I am about to commence something similar and was wondering after you have cultivated and levelled the existing soil to what depth do you add the new topsoil to bed your turf on . I am assuming it’s shallow enough to not require any compacting !
Hi there (great video), what is this "Supreme Gold" product you mention on the listing to kill anything green? I cannot find any online reference and also, couldn't that create risk to the fresh turf? Thanks
How far down do you dig? And how much topsoil or loam should you add. Do you put enough down so dirt comes up to the edge of walkway or leave enough room for sod height?
5 years later. It would have nothing to do with his work tbh. It's all down to how the owner has treated and looked after it. If it's been watered, mowed often etc. It will be looking completely fine
Nice job. What short of truf you have used? how come the truf getting 2 different shades, one is green and another is light green., looks beautiful. like a football field.
Thanks for the vid. We’re also adding a gravel border to help drainage between lawn and patio. Can you advise please what you used to separate lawn from gravel?
Hi , the machine we use is called a Ryan turf cutter, but you can’t hire these only buy . You can come across them on eBay , but this time of year the little Honda ones you get from hire company’s work ok. Hope this helps . Gary
Looks great! But surely you should be kneeling on boards and not the freshly laid turf. That's what I do when I lay turf anyway to prevent any dips or damage.
I’m about to take up the grass, how do I workout how much topsoil do I need? And what’s the machine called you used to take up the grass? My garden a tad smaller than the one in this video. What machine size would you recommend I hire?
? After killing off a lawn, would a turf cutter remove the sod so it can be rolled up or does it sometimes just break up, I sprayed off my lawn 3 weeks ago and put a scarifier through it today, one pass, I can now see how uneven it is and I’m considering removing with a turf cutter, advice would be greatly appreciated
Regarding killing the old lawn; I got some 'Rosate 360 TF' glyphosate and dissolved 24ml in 1L water as directed and sprayed a test section, but three days later it does not look any less dead. How long should it take, and did I get the measure correct do you think?
Great job, but why do you spray 4 weeks before to kill the grass then take the layer of turf off, should you not take layer off then spray, im interested because i have a job coming up
It’s a total kill herbicide. It is I’ll kill absolutely everything. Do needs time to degrade. Otherwise it will also kill the newly layed turf. We don’t want that.
czaszi , there was a very slight slope , the old lawn had a lot of moss previously, so to help prevent that for the new lawn the drainage was put in, hope this info helps you .
I’m about to lay some turf, the garden had slabs down under the slabs was sharp sand and a membrane to stop weeds, Im now down to hard mud, question is Do I need to turn the hardened soil over? Or can I buy compost lay that down and then lay my grass on top ?
Actually you *can* hire them, Homebase hire them out for about £80.00 per day. Their Rotavator is very easy to use, and the turf cutter is just a bit trickier, but easily manageable. Look on the Homebase website.
We have Round Up and Gallup at work which we use for controlling vegetation (mostly buddleia and the occasional giant hogweed or Japanese knotweed) Which would be the better of the two for grass.
Poison poison poison...as if there was not enough contamination going around! Why dont you go with the flow and leave the moss and add some wildflowersinstead: not only you will not be poisoning your environment but you will be making it reacher, more alive and more beautiful.

Very informative video! Also what i love about this video is that the before and after shots are from the same camera position!!
great video! gave me the info i needed to refurb my lawn. Now she looks top notch!
This is awesome and straight to the point, thank u so much, 👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
Very helpful and straight to the point, cheers
As you can see... i can see and i saw a splendid job.
we have to do this soon. previous owners left the lawn and it's 90 percent moss and dandelion, horrible. This doesn't look too horribly hard to do.
Thank you so much for great video. Exactly the info I needed presented in a clear and concise way.
Good video , I am about to commence something similar and was wondering after you have cultivated and levelled the existing soil to what depth do you add the new topsoil to bed your turf on . I am assuming it’s shallow enough to not require any compacting !
as you can see, you've done a great job :D
As you can see said the blind man looking grim.
End result is fantastic. Well done
Is it better to use this method shown in the video or using the grass tiller and use the roller before laying new sod?

Nice work guys
very nice .. good job
5 years on. It would be extremely interesting if you went back to this lawn for a visual update!
5 years later. It would have nothing to do with his work tbh. It's all down to how the owner has treated and looked after it. If it's been watered, mowed often etc. It will be looking completely fine
As a homeowner I would like to know where would I dispose of the old rolled of lawn?
I’m trying to imagine my water bill with that yard in the central coast of CA. Would be about $2k per month haha
Pro job. Nice 👍
Smart job. Thx
Do you work abroad ?. Need my garden doing. Just an area the size like on this video.
1:14 More on dealing with ant nests in the ground please.
When you put top soil in do you just rake it or use that roller aswell
Jaiden 7 , hi , when putting in a lot of new topsoil then giving it a roll will firm it up nicely ready to lay your new turf.
What do you call the machine that removes the top layer of that lawn
Nice job. What short of truf you have used? how come the truf getting 2 different shades, one is green and another is light green., looks beautiful. like a football field.
It's all about the way the grass is rolled. Alternate the direction of the rolls and the grass lies one way or the other giving stripes.
Thanks for the vid. We’re also adding a gravel border to help drainage between lawn and patio. Can you advise please what you used to separate lawn from gravel?
Metal edging baby.
You could use a wooden kick board... but metal edging would last a lot longer .
@@boltonturfandlandscapesltd8599 great video. Is the border for drainage literally just a gap between lawn edge with pebbles?
nice video, i would have put a decent granular fertiliser down before turfing, helps the rooting process.
Hi buddy,,I need to do a bit of levelling on my lawn,,there is a couple of dips in mine,,what would you use to level it,,cheers m8 👍
I seen a video where they use a few tons of sand to even everything out

Very good I like to do but bit expensive .
I read in the RHS website that one would need 10cm of top soil. Is it true that 10cm is required?
Wengkit Tan yes if you’re stripping old turf out but make sure you apply weed killer before laying new turf
Great video, what was the name of the machine used at the beginning?
Turfcutter
Looks great! But surely you should be kneeling on boards and not the freshly laid turf. That's what I do when I lay turf anyway to prevent any dips or damage.
How much for knee replacement?
I've just done this with a spade and fork, 45sq metres total cost £225 including new top soil
Cheap! These clients aren't short of money by the looks of the house though!
AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, I HAVE DONE ANOTHER SPECTACULAR JOB HERE! I AM VERY PROUD HOW IT TURNED OUT !!
You’ve taken the words right out of my mouth !,
What’s the difference between this and tilling the yard?

It’s around 1 ton of soil per 50 sq metres laid and the machine is called a Ryan .
Good luck with the project.

I would say that you need to Rotavate up the ground now if it is still uneven .... and also getting some air back into the compact areas .

It will take on average around 2- 3 weeks to see visible results
"As you can see, we want the yard to slope towards the house" lol
How much did this job cost?
Whats the name of the machine you used to remove old lawn? Do you need to soak the lawn before running that machine?
Sakibul Hasan , we used a Ryan , and it doesn't need watering as this machine is very powerful, not sure you can hire these only buy ....
simply called a
turf cutter
Great job, but why do you spray 4 weeks before to kill the grass then take the layer of turf off, should you not take layer off then spray, im interested because i have a job coming up
To give the weedkiller time to degrade or it will kill the new grass
It’s a total kill herbicide. It is I’ll kill absolutely everything. Do needs time to degrade. Otherwise it will also kill the newly layed turf. We don’t want that.
Thx for the video. Gotta say, the thick accent was a bit difficult to follow, but it was informative.
Hi there - would you mind sending me a message to give me an indication on price to do something t like this? Cheers
David Jones , to give you an idea this project would set you back around £2000+ vat ....
many thanks
Gary
can someone tell me the name of that equipment, I looked for tiller, but want one just like that, to turn and roll the soil.
Turf cutter to strip the lawn and rotovator to turn soil 👍
What are the machine names ..so i can rent them
what did you charge for this job? very curious what something like this would cost - my yard needs to be completely torn out
Hi Jack
I garden like this would be around £2000+vat
@@boltonturfandlandscapesltd8599 I'm in the wrong job.
imagine living that close to a noisy road :(
Was the soil level or at slight slope to help with drainage?
czaszi , there was a very slight slope , the old lawn had a lot of moss previously, so to help prevent that for the new lawn the drainage was put in, hope this info helps you .
Bolton Turf and Landscapes that definitely helps. Thanks for the reply. Was drainage only next to paved area or there was something else as well?
czaszi , it was only next to slabs.
@@boltonturfandlandscapesltd8599 great video, what if theres no slope?
How much it costs?
I’m about to lay some turf, the garden had slabs down under the slabs was sharp sand and a membrane to stop weeds, Im now down to hard mud, question is
Do I need to turn the hardened soil over?
Or can I buy compost lay that down and then lay my grass on top ?
Yes I would turn the soil over so that the roots of the turf will grow deeper giving you stronger grass for the dry seasons .
@@boltonturfandlandscapesltd8599 thanks for the reply appreciate it, so turn the soil over then lay compost on top ?
@@boltonturfandlandscapesltd8599 what do you call the machine to wmove old turf and can you hire them ?
Amazing can you hire the machines and what are they called?
Willows Wild , hi sorry you can only buy one of these machines.

Their Rotavator is very easy to use, and the turf cutter is just a bit trickier, but easily manageable.

Hi Michael , you can hire Turf strippers yes ... but not a heavy duty Ryan like ours.
@@boltonturfandlandscapesltd8599 how.longndid that job take you?
What did you kill the moss and lawn with?
What’s the machine called that strips the lawn?
sod cutter
Peter Melnikov too late we used a pick axe haha. Thanks anyway
And a month after?
They showed it , that was the before picture lol 😅
Missed the whole bit where you put the top soil and how much you used
How do i strip my lawn without one of those fancy machines? Is is ok to just dig it up?
The weed killer you mentioned at the beginning 'Supreme Gold'. I can't seem to find it online. Does it go by another name?
Glyfos supreme xl
Thanks.
How much does something like this cost to have done ?
Around £2.5 k + vat
Why strip it? Scarify add moss weed and feed.
what is that machine called? i called my home depot and lowes and they dont know what I'm talking about
Random Bike Trips
Hi , it’s called a Turf stripper , this machine is a Ryan .
Thank you!
you are just making more work for yourself mowing such large lawn areas
😀😃😄
What’s stuff he used to kill all the green.
You can use a strong round up ... we used something a bit stronger but can’t be bought by the public.
We have Round Up and Gallup at work which we use for controlling vegetation (mostly buddleia and the occasional giant hogweed or Japanese knotweed)
Which would be the better of the two for grass.
What’s the science in rotovating the soil then rolling it flat down straight away. Seems almost pointless.
Airating
Oi, leave the ants alone!!! 🐜
Considering you killed the lawn the before picture is misleading. Nevertheless a nice result
Poor ants . Minding their own business away from the house and then obliterated ! 🐜💀😭
