Restoring a mossy, uneven lawn
Compacted soil and thin grass had left this lawn heavily affected by moss. The surface was also bumpy, so feeding alone would not have addressed the problems.
The renovation included moss and weed treatment, heavy scarification and hollow-tine aeration to relieve compaction. A 70/30 lawn-sand mix was used to improve the levels, followed by seed, organic topdressing and pre-seed fertiliser.
A sprinkler connected to a timer was set up to help keep the new seed watered through establishment.
Finding the right grass for a shaded garden
Shade had made it difficult to establish grass in this garden. The lawn stayed thin, with weeds and moss taking hold in the gaps.
The existing grass was cleared and the ground levelled with a 70/30 lawn-sand mix. Shade-tolerant grass seed and pre-seed fertiliser were then applied to give the new lawn a better start in these conditions.
A sprinkler and timer were set up to support regular watering while the grass established. Claire’s review below describes the change in her garden.

Read Claire’s reviewA fresh start with a full lawn renovation
This lawn needed a complete renovation, including weed treatment and thorough ground preparation before new grass could be established.
After weed treatment, the soil was rotavated and levelled, using lawn sand to refine the levels. Grass seed selected for a dark-green finish was applied, followed by organic compost topdressing and pre-seed fertiliser.
A sprinkler with a timer was set up to help maintain regular watering during establishment.
