Took a conifer down for someone with artificial grass, chatted about this as a bit weird to rake sawdust on but they said it fixed the leatherjacket problem after the lawn treatment people failed with multiple attempts.

Horrible though, I'd have an enormous patio with beds and borders before I had a green carpet garden.

Green woodpeckers too.  We had one repeatedly visiting the same patch of lawn that turned out to be infested with chafer grubs.

Some areas in our deerpark looked like it had been rotavated once the rooks found them!
