    hi all, recently i have been trying to get the perfect lawn which i have failed in doing !!!
    we have had a lot of rain lately and i just couldn't get out to cut the grass as it was getting long the rain has calmed right down over the last few day and even been quite sunny so i have cut the grass but now i have lots of foot prints in the lawn which are actually dented into the soil. so what i need to know is will the lawn repair its self or have i actually done real damage to my lawn ???

    Lawns are quite hardy, So I doubt you've done any permanent damage. The soil was obviously quite wet when you mowed. I suggest you leave mowing until it is firmer under foot. If it doesn't recover, but I think it will, you will probably have to use a roller to level it. :)

    I think we've all been trying to get the "perfect" lawn, which is a bit like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.:heehee::D But you've got to have your dreams.:D

    I think he'll notice it when he's standing in the center of it and one step takes him off it, Catztail:heehee::heehee::D
