Hi,
I reseeded my lawn September last year and the results were really disappointing and I am not sure what steps to take next. I have attached some photos of part of it and a close up.
We spent absolutely ages digging up 100sqm of the old grass, removing stones and then spread 7 tonnes of topsoil, raked it all out and sowed the seed. But the lawn just came out really patchy and thin. I really don't know what went wrong.
I had seed leftover so tried overseeding 3 weeks ago but none of it took. I didn't want to harm the existing grass so the seed wasn't raked in very well which is probably why.
I am not sure what to do now. Whether to persevere with overseeding and maybe try a different variety + compost on top or to start from scratch and rotavate it all and then turf it instead.
Any advice on what to do would be appreciated.
Cheers
