having just installed a new lawn i let the lawn 'root in' and grow to a decent length, my problem is that it was gorgeous green colour and now after its first cut there are a number of small yelow patches, is this due to over/underwatering or something else?will these become greener as lawn grows again?if not what can i do?really gutted aslawn looked so lovely and green before i cut it! :cry:

have just noticed i used the wrong setting on the mover shortest cut instead of longest :oops: will my lawn grow back ok then or have i damaged for good? :eek:
 
You've scalped the lawn, luckily it'll be growing strongly now, so it should be fine.

Grass is highly resilient - don't worry, it'll be fine in a couple of weaks.

For information, you've not scalped it - this is when you cut over a bump or over the edge and you are left seeing soil. Even if you had, it'll recover in due course.
 
thanks for your info, I think there is something very British about taking pride in a minicured lawn :LOL: was just worried!

difference in use of scalping, by scalping in mean just cutting it very short, not actually showing soil, which I would call rotavating :?: but word usage apart we mean the same thing :D

Personally I'd call turning the soil over (with a rotavator) rotavating. But let's not bicker ;) The op's lawn will be fine, and that's the main thing.
