Hi BW trust! I am hoping for a step by step guide on how to re-establish our lawn or welcome advice on whether it's just better to returf entirely. We inherited a very patchy, weed infested, uneven lawn from the previous owners of our house and since we've never had to do this before, our knowledge and tools need to start from zero. We are hoping to give it a go ourselves as our budget is limited.
Hence hoping for a kind soul, willing to walk us through the process, in lawn for dummies fashion, haha.
Some key things, to add info to the pictures (a but messy after heavy winds):
- Some areas still have buffalo
- The back area where the trees are keeps water stagnation and I was wondering with what yype of soil we could level it to create some natural drainage.
- There's a big eucalyptus currently to the side of the garden, however the lawn does get light. Its moisture though might be taken by the tree. However the buffalo seems to be surviving regardless.
- Ideally we'd like to lift the lawn up to the edge of our pergola tiles, as the soil sunk. Again looking for guidance as to how to level types of soil to achieve that.
- Is it a good idea to do this job now (Summer) or wait till spring?
Thank you so much in advance!!
