How to revive my new lawn?

[THam]

I recently turfed the backyard. The dying lawn is Sir Walter from marketplace and the green stuff in the back is Bunnings!

Laid on the same base 2 days apart!

we have had plenty of rain in Brisbane since it was done at the start of December! 

Have I done something wrong? How do I rescue the dying parts?

Thank you

Hi @THam,

If the lawn were laid less than a month ago, I would hold off on chemical fertilizers. Instead, I'd recommend applying Seasol regularly for the next couple of months to nourish and encourage the grass to fill in. You can then move on to full fertilisers.

Chances are you've done nothing wrong. The other grass might have been sitting around longer after being cut and, therefore, struggled to take root when you laid it.

Please let us know if you have any questions.
