In this video I cover how I used only a few simple items from Home Depot to level my lawn.
The secret to a perfect looking lawn is making it FLAT.
Is your entire lawn or areas of the lawn filled with dips, ruts, low spots, and high spots? When your lawn isn’t level it can make it look terrible and lead to damage and injury due to the bumps making you twist your ankles and scalp your lawn with your mower. Good thing is, you can level your lawn yourself with a few simple items from Home Depot such as a landscape rake, push broom, sand, soil, and a gorilla cart or wheel barrel.
A level lawn also leads to a healthier and easier to maintain turf. It will result in a higher quality cut because your mower won’t scalp the lawn. Not to mention, mowing over a bumpy surface is uncomfortable and can cause injury to your ankles. Low spots are of particular concern because as the tires pass over them, the level of the mower blade also drops, plunging it into the higher spots and cutting the grass too low in that specific spot leading to scalping of the lawn. The last advantage to a level lawn is drainage. Holes and low spots tend to collect water in pools, which increases chance of lawn fungus.
