Want the perfect lawn?
Looking after your lawn can be really hard work. All that mowing and edge trimming can be quite a chore, but lawns are one of the very British features of our gardens. A well maintained lawn is a thing of beauty. Think of how smooth and flat those bowling green lawns are. How do they do it? They start with the right stuff! Good quality turf is easier to look after.
If your lawn is full of dandelions, daisys and other horrific looking plants and bare patches then you really need to look at your options. You can of course weed and feed your lawn. Manually removing dandelions is back breaking hard work that requires you to rmeove every bit of root to prevent it coming back.
Daisies are easier to dig out but leave large patches. Some of the other invasive weeds will defy all attempts to be removed, but out of them all dandelions are much worse.
Buying new turf and digging up your old stuff sounds like it is the best answer. It can be hard work though, removing your turf by hand is hard work, but you can huire turf strippers and do it quickly. Pile old turfs up and leave them to rot down in a quiet corner of the garden. Pointless sending them to the tip when they will break down into good soil for the borders soon enough!
Levelling the ground, perhaps removing the stones, and digging in some new top soil and feeding it up will give a great base for your new lawn.
Turf can be delivered by Rolawn Direct and then laid out on the prepared soil. Once it’s down it needs watering for a few days (If it doesn’t rain that is!) and then a little care and attention, only light mowing for a while and then after it’s settled in it’ll look fantastic!
Perfect lawns then need regular mowing, but all your neighbours will be envious of the smooth green lawn you have!
