That was a really bad idea ... never squash down lumps (especially when they're wet) as you'll just compact the soil making it rock solid.Wait...
There are a couple of things to consider when looking at the difference between "professional" grade and "diy" in terms of lawn care products....
Not necessarily, but too much raking just rips the grass to bits without achieving anything. Get down on your knees and have a good look at the...
Lawn raking is not equal to scarifying.I wrote a detailed post about the whole process back in the autumn, but the same can usually be applied...
Established grass would be unaffected yes, but young grass is weak and vulnerable.You can sow all summer as long as you keep it watered and...
Is that a Hydrangea next to it? It seems to be doing okay, why not put a couple more of those in?

The biggest problem you'll have is stopping weeds and weed grasses from taking over. Natural wildflower meadows establish themselves on really...

Ok. Nearly impossible to identify a pest from a one line description and no picture, but I'll have a stab anyway!Is it a Chafer grub?
A picture would be helpful.
It is sad that you've had that experience, but unfortunately bad service seems to be endemic in the lawn care industry, especially amongst the big...
Did you dress it with Sharp Sand?
Did you get it aerated? Looks like you didn't.Looks like it's thinned in those areas due to poor drainage and heavy soil, as I said before.Put...
No problems at all sowing grass seed now. Grass will germinate in soil down to 8 degrees (some even lower) and we're nowhere near that at the moment.
It's perfectly normal, and a good sign of a healthy soil. They're sometimes in symbiosis with a nearby tree, decomposing something in the ground...
