Lawns

I let mine get to about 4 inches and cut it on the highest setting for the first few cuts. Make sure you have a sharp blade otherwise you run the risk of pulling it out

hi - about time i posted the pictures of the lawn all done! It's worked out great. We did get down as much grade A top soil as we could (which was only a few inches/maybe only a few cm in places) and i also used pre-turf fertiliser (6:9:6). As soon as it was down i watered it and then that...

Looks like it’s well on it’s way back to recovering.

Looks pretty spot on. It’s caused by fungi in the genus Puccinia and is commonly known as a low nitrogen disease. An Autumn feed may help it to recover. To double check get a white cloth and rub the leaf and it should show brown marks.

Good morning alan kearn ...welcome I usually wait 3 or 4 weeks before reseeding however I am the impatient sort and I think a full 4 weeks is better.Ideally weed n feed applied in August and then grass seed sown in early September.So, I would sow seed before the end of September....both...

Welcome to the forum. Forget lifting turves. Respectfully. Turves not Turfs. My advice is. Continue to mow as usual. when top dressing perhaps add a little bit more to the lower areas.

Fingers crossed Boysie Hopefully it will look fine

Ha ha, guru? Yes, I think your plan makes sense. Should be fine.

Happy memories. Starting work at Castle Woods, (spelled, Casil Woods, by the then park superintendant). Castle Woods being the home of Sevendroog Castle, a folly built in what is now kown as the Ancient woodlands. In that era and as far as mowers were concerned, the selection was very limited...

My lawn has suffered like this in the drought we’ve had; over two months of no rain. The finer grasses, the fescues, have really taken the brunt, which may be the case with yours. Mine is recovering but it is taking time. There is no real harm in scarifying but do look closely for fine new...

Exactly the same that sounds a bit weird mate

The same hereG.

Welcome to the forum! I too agree with @Verdun . It is good advice. If you dig and do over, you'll only have to go through the hassle once.

Hi LukeI'm not an expert by any means - logged on to post my second question and thought it was my turn to answer some! I have in the last six months successfully grown a lawn from scratch, and unsuccessfully (so far) renovated an existing lawn.The best lawn-from-scratch descriptions I've...

I don't think it's dollar spot I've haven't noticed any spider webs? Probably been about 2-3 month since I put the fertiliser down. And the patches have spread started off with one.It could be slugs but they are in other areas which dont have patches. What's the best way to get rigs of slugs?...

Nice plush lawns @Verdun and @BigC both my neighbours have gone bone dry and turning brown

Ha ha, I've no worries about my lawn-it will come back. Grass is tough stuff.

Glorious looking lawn and you've done well there @Chris Brown
