Restoring an old lawn with one of our MyGardenTeam clients

 



Lawns with a good mix of grass species but have bare patches and an uneven surface can often be restored by top dressing and reseeding.  The pictures show us one of our clients working with GardenAdvice gardeners to sieve stone soil through some wire fencing to remove the stones to create a level surface. 
You can use a hand seize but it takes a lot longer. 
Once levelled and over seeded with a suitable grass seed mixture  in the autumn and winter up until xmas we often use a thin plastic covering to assist in the germination of the grass seed and the recovery of existing grass plants.
As with all work on lawns now its also worth taking the time to check the lawn for leather jacket and chafer grub as these lawn pests are now becoming a problem in the UK
