DIY: Yard/Lawn Restoration – BYOT #8

DIY: Yard/Lawn Restoration – BYOT #8

Bring Your Own Tools (Episode #8) delves into restoring an old neglected back yard into a vibrant new lawn. This is from start to finish project including weeding, leveling, tilling, sprinkler system, seeding and everything in between.

CORRECTION: 5 to 7LBS of seed per 1,000sqf, NOT 100sqf.

O and here is the link for the Rain Bird sprinkler system installation video: https://youtu.be/tJEVc2p7XWk

There should have been a banjo playing during the time lapse…

Matt says:

You made who ever owned that house before you your bitch and also you are domination your neighbors now

Marty H says:

My lawn is not as bad as what you started with here, but is very bumpy and uneven. I'd like to follow the system you used here but kill the grass first. I'd like to do it quickly but I don't want to use roundup as it is expensive and not very eco-friendly when used on the scale I plan. Does anyone have a cheap and green solution?

Joshua Hebb says:

How would I go about reseeding my front lawn if my dirt is really mixed with weeds and a lot of rocks? My yard was destroyed after I had to replace the main water line to the house and removed 2 trees.

RIGHTHOOK1000 says:

dang! u did all that!

Carter Alexander says:

I thought I wanted to do my own lawn until I saw how much work it was …. I'll just hire some Mexicans 🤷🏾‍♂️

jess m says:

Great video!! Very informative. What area of the states are you in? I'm in Florida and need serious help with the lawn in my new house. By the looks of your soil (and sweater) I'm betting you're not in FL 😂. Either way the principles look to be useful in any climate

Marlena Atene says:

This was fun to watch!

Timothy Villa says:

You should update you backyard video, with all you creativity and dedication, I wonder what it looks like now.?

Timothy Villa says:

Ben Dover says:

Noe says:

Respect your willpower on this project.

Claire Knight says:

His arms look so toned from all that hard work 😏

Yu Le says:

what's the point of leveling the dirt when you going to put soil on top just level up the soil

chris ryan says:

That was a great overview. Can you share an updated picture of the lawn?

mickeyt107 says:

I would have just used glyphosate to get a fresh start instead of hand weeding, could still have live weeds below the surface.

Ahmad Shaqeeq says:

You've a very beautiful way of making the video interesting. 👍🏼 😊

K says:

you should of rented a bobcat or some sort of machine

Frankie C says:

So do you just add more seed to the bare spots? Do you have to do anything to the soil in those bare spots before adding more seed? Thanks
