You can get pretty good results if you know how to use the hoe, but there are some videos where they've got it smooth as a table top, and I sure can't do THAT with a hoe, or at least I've not figured it out.

I was able to. It's not impossible. Just takes alot of practice and patience.

Only thing I have noticed is that as you add onto your existing base, it does tend to make the ground lumpy in spots after awhile.
