Spreading Lawn Weed

Hi,
Attached is the photo of the weed referred to in my previous post.

Looks like a lot of liverwort in the photos posted. I don't really count them as weeds in my own garden as they do not have the same root structures of more developed plants and so do not compete with your garden plants in the same way as some other plants regarded as weeds. Probably a sign of poor drainage which may be inhibiting your grass growth which in most circumstances will out grow the liverwort and leave them no space to grow. You could rake the area and spread some fresh grass seed when conditions are good for grass growth and not too wet but if you have a serious drainage problem in your garden it may be difficult to get a lawn established and you might need to put some drains in first.
Happy gardening!

 

@JayB
It would help if you told us a bit more about the conditions in your garden, sun, shade, soil type, location in the world etc.
Also a picture of the rest of the lawn.

 

We see quite a lot of it round here, but as @Macraignil says, it isn't usually a massive problem. If it was covering a huge area then you'd need to look at sorting the drainage, as it's that damp ground they tend to like, and grow in, especially if it's compacted ground where grass will struggle. They don't root into the soil the way most plants do, and there are many, many types. Scraping it away and reseeding is the usual remedy.

Depends how fussy you are about the odd bit of 'stuff' in the grass too.
