Plan on Leveling your Lawn? Watch This.

In this video, I go straight to the pro’s to ask them what is the best lawn leveling material. My personal recommendation is to level with a mix of sand and dirt using a lawn leveling rake. As you will see in the video, the pros also recommend a mix of 50% sand and 50% soil to level a bumpy lawn. Leveling with straight sand is ok if you only have minor bumps and ruts that are less than 1/2 inch but anymore than that, you should use a mix of sand and soil.

A few issues topdressing with only sand are is increased irrigation due to the poor water holding properties of sand. If you do decide to level with only sand be sure to have a proper irrigation system installed because it will require increased watering. Also, if you use too much sand it can retain heat during the dog days of summer resulting in your grass frying out.

The benefit to using a mix of sand and soil to topdress is that you get the leveling properties of sand while retaining the clay composition of your soil. Another benefit to adding sand to your soil is that it improves drainage. Sand is known for its excellent drainage properties, allowing excess water to penetrate through the soil and prevent water retention, which can lead to turf diseases such as lawn fungus.

Basic equipment needed to level your bumpy lawn are lawn leveling rake or lawn leveler , lawn lute , or a lawn level drag . Also you will need a gorilla cart or wheel barrel to haul around the thousands of pounds of material for your DIY project. If you are looking to get more specific tools for the job such a rake designed just for leveling your lawn I will leave some links below.
