Meadow Grass In Lawn

[Will C]

Round up should stop the grass just fine

Scarify & reseed?

If it isn't a big lawn (under 200m2 say), he could hire a turf cutter, strip it, then either top soil and reseed, or re turf. Then meticulously scour the new lawn and fork out out each broad leafed invader grass clump as they reappear. Or spend a day or so forking out all of it out now, (will be difficult to eradicate if its prevalent, as there will be seeds) then fill in with topsoil, cut the lawn very low, scarify and overseed.

Or get a brain transplant.

He's done that every year since he laid turf Stere, but it's not giving the results he hopes for. Someone told him you have to dig the meadow grass out with its root but I think that's probably too much of a commitment for him.

He'd prefer something really expensive and quite toxic that he can spend ten minutes spraying on and come out the next morning to perfection.

It's just recently been laid, and my telling him he should've bought a roll-a-lawn without weeds in it didn't go down well.

Dig out the weed grass, not just the top part, fill up and seed again. And buy weed free turf next time?

Just laid 700m2 best quality rolawn turf, an awful lot of meadow grass in the turf

I know a couple of people who go round in vans offering 'lawn care', get one of them in monthly. They spray and spike and treat and weed all in the name of green perfection.

 

Personally I find it all a bit confusing, no real need to cut the grass till we start losing the dog and we've got a lab.

You know the gypsy patter about how it's a theological imperative to con gorjas? I'm bang behind it for this lawn care bollocks. The competitively vacuous like Doug's mate and my mate, who is exactly the same frankly deserve to have their pockets emptied for magic beans.
