Have I killed my new lawn

Hi all,

We had our garden landscaped last May and when I cut the grass for its final cut I used the mulcher. We then had a ton of rain and now the mulch has embedded itself in the law and now it looks dead. My question is have i killed our new turf or can it be saved?

 

.... give it a spring feed soon grow ... its all the wet weather we have had most lawns in February look awful .. you could lightly use a garden fork prongining it in all over and then add some new grass seed which will fall into the holes you have created towards the middle of March fill in all those bare parts ... then rake it over ... I would cut it forst before I done all what I have suggested

 

Keep off it until its dry enough to sit upon......, then proceed as @Spruce above
No need to compact it further

 

Thank you so much!
