  • @theparadiddlydoo2771
    @theparadiddlydoo2771 3 роки тому +2

    @Lawn Tips Would you say it's better to mow lawns first before scarifying? At our work, we have been scarifying first, then mowing down on second lowest level (collecting all the thatch with push mowers). Once that's done we do a second run over on the lowest setting on the mowing height to scalp it. What do you think? Our turf is Santa Ana variety.

    Man I love your vids. Been watching you for a long time now. I wish I had all the toys bro. But just wondering why you can’t use your tractor bucket to spread the sand instead of hand shoveling everything. I’m sure there’s a reason. I’m a fescue guy that has a patch of Bermuda that I’m really wanting to topdress and cut lower if possible. Keep up the good work big guy.
