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.
Basic equipment needed to level your lawn lawn leveling rake or lawn leveler , lawn lute , lawn level drag or any other kind of lawn level tool, in this video I use a landscape rake . Also you will need a gorilla cart or wheel barrel to haul around the thousands of pounds of material. If you are looking to get more specific tools for the job such a rake designed just for leveling your lawn I will leave a link below.

As soon as I saw the New Balance dad shoes I knew this man was a professional and he knows what he’s doing. Now we just need a grilling video. Level the lawn and cook for the family.
-
That Menards theme music is straight up Midwest! 🤘😁
-
Just used this same rake to level my lawn. I was surprised at how well it worked. My lawn looked like the grand canyon and now it resembles a semi decent lawn. I'll for sure have to perfect it next year.
-
I have a level lawn tool but never the motivation to get tons and tons of sand delivered. Now I can spend $30, make a quick mix and do some spot leveling here and there over several weekends when I’m feeling it. Nice video, thanks!
-
Legit. Like the advice for us average weekend Warriors that don’t have tons of fancy tools to make our yards look perfect. Just the basics to get a respectable look. Thanks!

It was funny to see him going into a Home Depot but had a remix of the Menards jingle.
-
Recommended the channel to my neighbour, waited til he got sand delivered, then nicked his during the night. Saved an absolute fortune! I'm going to recommend a 60" tv to him next.
-
Welcome back! Awesome video as always, looking forward to many more this season.
-
This was on my recommended page because I plan on doing some lawn leveling and was not disappointed! Awesome video definitely will be watching more!
-
Absolute best lawn care channel on YouTube! I'm excited to fix up my new lawn! Thank you for these videos. Please keep them coming!
-
This is why I love your channel. Nothing fancy, just stuff anyone can buy at big box stores 👌
-
Glad to see you back. You always explain things clearly easy to follow.
-
Great video to start the lawn season! Always a fun time helping you film and sharing ideas. Love our family picture at the end 🥰❤️
-
One other thing about the gorilla cart…they have a 600 lb. capacity so anytime you need to move anything heavy (like bags of sand, dirt, sod rolls, bricks, pavers, etc.) from the car or around the yard they’re super handy. Also great camp/beach wagons. Worth owning.
-
Absolutely amazing! Finally someone made a video with common materials!!
-
I'm new at this, I'm trying to expand my lawn knowledge. Thank you. I have a lot of questions and you've answered most
-
Lovely video.. I moved in last year and the builder gave me a yard full of uneven terrain. My mower literally dances on the ground when I cut the grass. So of course, leveling is in my bucket list this year. Once my grass comes fully, I'll level the lawn following your methods. Thanks for sharing in such details.

Just got my Gorilla Cart from HD. So far, it’s been great! Ever since getting the new place, I find myself at Home Depot almost every day!
-
Your production values are better than most network tv shows. Kudos!
