Lawns

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

Redwing is Profile page is available...most likely late replying

Lucius ...you've done well with your garden besides other areas of your home besides ...your not wonder woman mate

Good point Harry

was looking at the lawn pix. counting the passes. I would say that area is only the size of our left side lawn, the right side need one square also. now, if I take that square and put it in the front I would need 6 squares for the front. now the back 4 squares, now the back back another...

Thanks - I'll look into trying out a patch first and see how it goes.

I mow when it needs cutting. In dry weather I leave it slightly longer. My theory, whether right or wrong, is that slightly longer grass gives the it more chance to catch any dew that might form.In peak growing times when there is rain to keep it watered I mow the main lawns twice a week,...

Looks like it’s an uneven spray of fertiliser. Normally you need to work out the area size then calculate the amount of fertiliser but rather than baffle you a little tip is to use a dye in the liquid so you can see where you have been. The equipment needs to be clean so that you have an even...
