Grass seed

[HDAV]

Lawn looking pretty awful so think it’s time to add some grass  actually it needs a lot more work like ripping out and starting again....

 

 

my thinking is to get a big bag of top soil rake it over to help level it out and over seed.

looks good but then it would wouldn’t it..... any one used it or something similar garden is quite shaded and can be wet......dog (bitch) has done plenty of damage with pee, high traffic, and scratching 🙈🙈🙈

If your lawn is wet/ damp I would use sharp sand as a top dressing to get better drainage fork it in having first raked the lawn till it’s brown bit of slow release fertiliser and some seed, try to level with a lute or if big enough use a pallet don’t roll

Thanks sand then over seed or seed then sand? Lawn isn’t large by any stretch any sharp sand (builders sand?) here a lot is dredged sand is that alright  for a lawn?

dredged sand

From the sea or river, only if well washed to get rid of salt.

Judging by the salt I see I would say sea... will try and find some not sea sand

Got some sand and topsoil dressing locally 🤞 going to spread some then seed then a little on top to protect seed from birds 🤞(suggestion of the supplier)

Well it’s done scarified, over seeded, top dressed and watered 🤞
