Product Information

Not only is a level lawn important for aesthetic reasons, but it also keeps lawns safer, easier to maintain, and free from pooling. It is not uncommon for yards to become bumpier over time due to harsh frosts or improper grading. This can lead to tripping, scalping the grass, and unevenness when mowing. Many choose to level their lawns to combat these issues and achieve a beautiful yard. Although you may choose to hire lawn care professionals to level your lawn, it can also be done on your own with a few pieces of equipment. Why Lawns Become Bumpy

The best time to level a lawn is in mid to late spring when the grass is coming out of its dormancy. Early autumn is also a popular time to level. It is best to wait for a time when the lawn’s soil is not wet and the grass is actively growing. A dyer soil will help tools glide over the lawn, and active grass growth will allow the lawn time to fill in any small patches that the leveling process may leave behind. Lawn Leveling Equipment

Lawn Leveling Rake Guide

The Landzie Compost Spreader drastically reduces the hassle and mess of spreading top dressing by separating larger chunks from granular material as it tumbles and stirs throughout the metal mesh screen cage drum. The strongest materials will allow your rake to break up clumped and hard soil, as opposed to only soft materials. Handle Design and Length

The levelling rakes I’ve recommended range in weight from around 3 kg to 7 kg . If you think you’ll struggle with a heavier tool, opt for one of the lighter models. The Importance of Rake Width Lawn leveling is a practice that removes high points and fills in low points on a lawn to leave it smooth and even. A level lawn is not only more aesthetically pleasing, but it also has many practical benefits. An even surface is easier to mow and maintain and also ensures better drainage. A lawn with deep depressions may start to hold puddles of water which can kill grass and attract mosquitoes. Lastly, an uneven lawn can pose a safety hazard; bumps or dips in a lawn may be concealed by grass and thus can cause trips and falls. Thus, leveling a lawn can improve your lawn’s looks and health while also providing a safer environment for children and landscapers alike.

With a handle measuring 182 cm, this rake should be suitable for most gardeners. Unlike others on the market, there’s no way to make the handle either shorter or longer. Shorter users may find the handle is a little too long to use comfortably. In terms of material, it generally comes down to personal preference. Almost all leveling uses a mixture of fine sand and organic material, such as peat moss or topsoil. The fine sand fills dips evenly while the organic material helps feed the grass. Although many find a 2:3 ratio of soil and sand to be helpful, others prefer to forgo the organic material entirely and use only sand. Many golf courses only use sand to achieve the smoothest finish. Combine any material and mix thoroughly before beginning your project. Additionally, no matter what material you choose, make sure that it is completely dry before using it to avoid any clumps. If Your Lawn Has Shallow Dips Standard garden rakes are designed for moving soil, but not levelling it . They break up and move clods of dirt and soil. While they can smooth out a bumpy flower bed, they won’t do much to level a lawn. They are more multipurpose than levelling rakes, so for this reason most gardeners choose to have both a garden rake and a levelling rake in their tool kit. Although you may find that hiring a lawn care service best suits your needs, it is also possible to level a lawn yourself. Note that a perfectly level lawn will not be achieved in one session. Rather, it will take multiple treatments over a period of time. There are many tools that can be used for ground leveling, such as tillers or a simple flathead shovel. One of the most popular is simply called a ‘lawn level’ or a ‘lawn leveling rake’. These help to push a mixture of sand and soil into low spots while keeping the top completely even with the rest of the lawn.

A level lawn will ensure plants get the same amount of water and nutrients, while lumps can leave some parts of your lawn wanting more. Deeper indentations or large sunken areas will require more attention. If the dip is so deep that reseeding is necessary, you may consider first removing the patch of grass with a spade. Then the material will need to be placed in the rut by hand. Material high in sand will be too unstable, so your mix should be no more than one part sand for every part of organic matter. Additionally, mixing with compost or peat will encourage the growth of any new seeds. Once the mix has been applied, you can go in with your leveling rake to flatten it completely. Afterward, if the mix you used was very aerated, you can compress it lightly to keep it in place. Reapply material if needed.
